It’s been 1 whole years since the gang (missing a few) was back together. We drank. We ate. We talked. We laughed. Then we drank some more.

I will hands down order the Morgan’s on Main seafood pasta each and every time it’s their special. Try it…BOMB!
Ran into the Birthday girl, Ashley. And my best bitch, Allison. She keeps me blonde ♥
Saturday I turned the BIG 37!
My bad ass hairdresser stopped by in the morning with my favorite chardonnay and handed me a soaking wet package that was on my front porch. I opened it and found this gorgeous Ansel Adams Yosemite book. I mentioned how beautiful it was and Cory remembered (or asked Bay 😂) and ordered me a copy for my birthday ❤️ Now I’m off to buy a new houseplant. And probably open that bottle of chard before noon. Proof I’m officially old AF! Thank you for all the sweet birthday messages + photos + texts + emails + calls. You sure do know how to make a girl feel the love. I’m not even mad about waking up at 5am or the rain anymore.
Ansel Adams in Yosemite Valley: Celebrating the Park at 150
I got my houseplants.
Family dinner to celebrate my old ass!
Then off to bed. In that exact order. And it was fucking perfect! Ha!!
Sunday we had the most chill morning/day.
Bay sleeps……
I meal prepped.
Chili Lime Walnuts
- 3 cups almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning
In the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Did sweet potatoes the same way and LOVE them. Great side dish. Add to salads. And I love to put a fried egg over them too! Yumm!
Made sheet pan chicken fajita bowls for lunches. I’ll share more later. But, I did write about it wayyyy back in October 2016 {weekend notes}
Cut veggies for snacking. You can see my ugly green counters at the top of this photo…lol.
Healthy-ish Chicken Salad. And OBSESSED with this Chobani greek yogurt. I’m not a fan of yogurt, like ever. But this stuff is really good. I’ve been subbing it for everything.
When Alex texts and says “wanna drink some wine”…..and you basically run. HA! Then Martini Mama Liz pops in for martinis. #score!!!
Watched the red carpet and a little of the Golden Globes.
Got to Cory’s just in time for Sunday night dinner. Bay + Scott had a blast…lol.
Just a heads up!!! My Cocoon Cardigan is back in stock!!! I’ve been getting tons of messages about it. So here ya go:
Woven Patterned Cocoon Cardigan
And LOTS of questions about these eye drops. They are $11. I’m cheap AF and I didn’t really want to break bread on them. But I will buy these over and over again. They make your eyes so crystal clear + white. Just trust me on this one…k?
Here are a couple of places you can find them……
Lastly, I posted an American Eagle Try-On to stories this afternoon. They’ve got some cute shit. And everything I’m sharing below is 40% off!!!
