This week flew by, right? Or is that just me? I swear I operated on practically no sleep (I’m sure my husband is rolling his eyes out there somewhere) for the first half of the week. Which would probably explain why being in bed by 8:50 earlier this week caused me to over sleep the next morning. Why does that happen? The more sleep you get, the more sleep you need. Go figure.
I’m still settling into my new groove, trying to follow my own rules. I’ll admit that I don’t quite have it down yet, and I did have some work to finish up a couple nights this week. But I am starting to get a handle on things. I felt exponentially less overwhelmed all week, so I guess we’ll call it a win.
A few things I learned this week:
I need to get better at giving myself grace. Lindsay’s post partners really well with my overwhelmed post from earlier this week, and really resonated with me.
How to remove denim stains from my purse. Alanna shared her secret, and you won’t believe it! I saved one of my beloved Coach bags with this tip mere minutes after reading her post!
That I desperately want to travel to Australia. Kristen’s 9 Reasons to Visit Australia (and reasons not to) just solidified that fact.
That I need to hire Sara Kate to come dress me. Her outfit post from the other day left me sa-wooooooooning.
The good, the bad & the ugly of Paleo. Kait stripped it all down and told the honest truth about her adventure with the Paleo diet.
I’m doing my best to allow myself some grace this weekend, so I’ve worked my tail off trying to set Saturday up as a do nothing day. What are your plans for the weekend? What were some of YOUR favorite posts from this week?

Saturday is definitely a do-nothing (except study for an hour) for me too! I love not having plans for weekends. Thanks for sharing the link. I know Kate Spade is out there secretly thanking me for not ruining her purse forever.
Love that polish!! That outfit in that post too.. yes. 🙂 I also finished listening to Undisclosed yesterday. Wow. Too bad you don't live closer we could meet for a coffee and talk about it! Haha. Have a wonderful weekend!! 🙂

That color is so fun, I love the sparkle in it!
LOVE that polish color!!!! SWOONING over here!!!
I'm so excited for our do nothing Saturday. And I am still always in awe of your nails. You would be ashamed of me if you saw mine right now.
I wish I could do nothing on Saturday!!! I leave again on Sunday so trying to be as productive as possible, love that nail color!
Ohhhh that polish color is fabulous!!!! I too would love to go to Australia some day. But I think I would rather just meet Kristen here in the US instead and pretend I was there LOL! You know how I hate planes.
Ohh I LOVE your nail polish color! I just used an at-home gel nail polish this week for the first time, so I'm excited to see how long it lasts. So far, so good! Thanks for the shout out 🙂 I love talking budgeting!
Love that color!
I know the oversleep struggle. It's a sick cycle!
THANK YOU for sharing the denim stains article!! I sooo needed that for my Cuyana bag! You're the best!
I hope you were able to relax this weekend! It is definitely necessary to cut yourself some slack and do nothing now and then 🙂
Loveeee that polish color, gush!
That nail color is gorgeous! I'm such a Julep junkie. Sadly, they're closing the parlor near my house. 🙁
