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?
<3 I just bought that mascara as well and I am LOVING it. I have major gripes with most mascaras so I was psyched to find this (at Walmart while I was home in Vermont last weekend!). And that blazer from Target is great! Feel better!!
i got on the flynn bandwagon a few months ago and liked gone girl so much that i read her other two books too – sharp objects and dark places. both so good, but esp loved dark places!
That jacket! Must have! Where from?! (The gorgeous yellow one you’re rockin’!)
Check out the Target link in the post!! 🙂
