Hey, hey friends. How’s your week? It’s been a busy one around here. Grab your cup of coffee and let’s do this!
As I told y’all last week, Rick and I are headed for some Northern California sunshine and cooler air on Monday. To say we’re excited to get away for a few days, is an understatement. We’re flying into San Francisco and heading up North to the wine country. Neither of us have ever been before, so it’ll be fun to experience it together.
We’re staying in Healdsburg a little city within Sonoma County. We’ve got quite a busy schedule, including some wine tastings and fun meals, but we have an open evening one night. Have any of y’all been up there before? If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them.
Also, while I’m asking, is there anything you’d like to see in terms of travel content? I’ll be putting together a travel guide to share with y’all, once we get home. I’ll also be sharing a few outfits from our trip. But if there’s anything else you’d like to see, let me know either via email or in the comments below.

What’s unique about this sale is items are new and get marked down first during the sale and then the prices go back up after the sale ends.

Now for things I’m loving:

– Let me share with y’all a few beauty products I’ve been using. I’ve been experiencing some extra greasiness on my T-zone this summer, so I’ve been trying out this cleanser by called . I’ve really been loving it so far and the price point is really good for a Sephora product. I’ve also been using these , they remind me of those keychains people used in the 90s! But I love them as they are great for working out and don’t break my hair when I pull it out.
– We haven’t had any houseguests yet in our new home, but I like to think that I’ll implement some of these ideas when we do.
