Fridaze 030

It's Fridaze again, and while I haven't had an overly busy week, I have been consuming a lot of content. On top of that, I did have a fun weekend. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let's chat!

Birthday Weekend in the Catskills, NY

As those of you who keep up with my blog, it was my birthday last week! I wrote a lil bit about my thoughts on turning 28, which you can read on the blog. I've been feeling very anxious and a little bit down, which is something I tend to feel around my birthday.

After a bit of pressing from J and my best friend, Erika, I tried to figure out what I actually wanted to do for my birthday. I decided that I wanted to do something chill for my birthday and ended up booking an Airbnb for the weekend! I invited my sister, her boyfriend, my younger brother and J. On top of that my sister ended up bringing her dog, Bear. It was honestly a great trip.

Overall, my birthday weekend was pretty close to perfect.

J's Been Traveling

The week after my birthday, J's been traveling all week. While I've missed him a lot, it's allowed me to really just focus on myself. I hate when I feel so bleh mentally, and so it's been nice to have a slower pace this week.

Worked Out Everyday This Week

One of the things I've done while he's been gone is focus on my physical health. I've worked out every day this past week, which is something I'm really proud about. I usually make it a point to workout 3 times a week, but to hit 5 days this week, is super nice. I've even increased my movement goal on my apple watch, and I've hit that 5 days this week!

I'm planning on continuing to increase my apple watch goal in lil' increments, but this weekly wins feel amazing. I'm currently at 460 Calories daily, and will increase to 470 next week. Or maybe I'll do it in a week and a half? We'll see!

Beautiful Weather

Summer is officially here, and it feels great. While we've had quite a few rainy days, we've also have had super warm weather. It's improved my mood a lot, and I've taken advantage by spending lots of time in my backyard reading.

Homegoods & TJ Maxx!

This week, I was looking for a bed for my pup, Luna. My sister ended up coming to Homegoods and TJ Maxx with me, and we had such a great time! I found a new pot for my pothos plant, and a bed that matches perfectly with our home furniture.

I love days when I can spend some time with my sister, just the two of us.

      Having a Home Goods so close to your place is so dangerous, lmao! I would spend so much money going there whenever I had some spare money I could spend. Good luck decorating your new space! Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x

    I'm a fan of Stranger Things, too. May was busy but June is not, so I'm going to try to catch up. Time for a list I may ignore! ha.
