Coming back from vacation is always an adjustment even if the vacation is a quick trip home to Savannah and only five days long! Unfortunately even though I was able to sleep and relax while home, my body isn’t happy and the cold I fended off the entire trip hit me full fledge this morning. I woke up at 4:15 in order to make my early morning flight and I could barely swallow at that point. After tons of water, green tea, salt water, and Airborne I spent the rest of the day at the office with a scratchy throat and a runny nose. I’m currently in bed with chicken noodle soup hoping to kick the cold with a good night’s rest!
This trip home was a mix of pure relaxation and time with my immediate and extended family spread across five days. I was lucky enough to enjoy some time with my blog buddy Victoria, catch up with my in-laws, try a few new to me restaurants, bake epic chocolate chip cookies, do some Target shopping, take a long walk on the beach with my mom, and still have plenty of time to kick my feet up and relax with a good book.
The only thing missing was Bo but unfortunately he and a good friend had plans to get a technical diving certification down in the Keys this weekend! How awesome is this picture of Bo from the wreck they explored? Notice he is carrying a 3rd tank! I can’t even imagine having to switch tanks!
I thought I’d share some links to the favorite things that I’m loving after this weekend.
A delicious lighter version of one of my favorite Summer side dishes – coleslaw!
Absolutely amazing salted chocolate chip cookies! Stop everything and make these immediately!
A great new mascara that thickens, curls and goes on clump free for under $6!?
How about you? Anything new that you’re loving and think I should check out?
