“all we want is something more to dream about and to adore”
Happy Friday!! I am so grateful it is finally the weekend–today is definitely an extra cup of matcha to get me through the day. Feeling tired. After spending last week feeling like a chicken with my head cut off, I was finally able to destress last Saturday night by going to see Crazy Rich Asians. It really is SO good! Exactly what I needed; a good laugh and a cry. I highly suggest seeing it!
This past week was quite lovely! Monday night may have been the BEST night of my life! I went uptown to Town Hall to see Reese Witherspoon speak about her new book Whiskey in a Teacup. I LOVE Reese Witherspoon– she is my favorite actress (besides Julie Andrews) and she is my idol! I really look up to her for her style, optimism, all around persona, taste in lifestyle, and more. Seeing her was a pinch me, I am on cloud 9 moment that I will never forget! At the event they gave each of us a copy of her book; I have already dived right into it and love it. Her book not only talks about southern hospitality (lots of great recipes and entertaining ideas), but also her life growing up in south; wisdom she was given by her grandmother and her own mother. A lot of which I too was given by my own mother and grandmothers; in terms of manners, how one must always dress up when leaving the house especially if you are going to dinner or the theatre, how you never talk about money or politics, treat everyone with kindness, how to entertain, etc. The book is great fun!
Tuesday evening I attended my photographer Lauren, owner of Laurel Creative, Lightroom tutorial class. I know how to use the basics of Lightroom but there is so much more to it that I am not aware of. The class was SUPER informative. Now I feel like I have a great handle on the program. Thursday morning I attended the spring preview of Etienne Aigner. They have some cute stuff in the new collection like box shaped wicker bags, floral shoes, and more! Can’t wait until spring! That evening I attended the real estate company that I work for, Perfect Strangers, pizza party for clients. I had a good time and loved meeting some of the clients.
Tomorrow I am participating in the DanceBody’s LIVE stream sculpt class at 11:30am. You also can take the class from the comfort of your own home. Head here for the link to the class tomorrow (it’s free!!). Work out with me or at least watch and make fun of me!
Other than my 15 minutes of fitness fame, I will be spending the weekend showing apartments and hanging out with friends. Sunday I am attending the new interactive exhibit “Fairy Island”. I am very curious as to what it will be like– I am sure it is going to be loads of fun!!
Have a wonderful weekend xo
