Hey, good morning – happy Monday!

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, this is what I got up to this weekend:

Well, what I got up to on Saturday. I painted my garage doors over the weekend in Behr’s Moonlit Beach. It was super on a whim but it makes the garage look so much better!

Yesterday was rainy and cold here. Huge difference from Saturday. I curled up on my couch and watched a few episodes I had saved on my PVR of 48 Hours. Which led me down a dark twisted path on researching a theory about one of the people on the show, Michael Ross Stahlman. If you google his name, there’s some crazy info on this man and his death. A lot was left out of the episode.

My favourite palette ever, Urban Decay’s Naked Smokey, was discounted what seems like forever ago and I have been savouring every last bit of my palette for as long as possible. I recently found a great dupe for it though and it’s under $30! I definitely will be ordering it.

I keep sharing earrings when I don’t have my ears pierced. Honestly, the more I look at ideas for posts, the more I kind of want to pierce my ears. I do really like these earrings, they’re the perfect every day earring. They’d make a great Mother’s Day gift, too!

I love Pink, I’ve loved her since I was eight years old singing Get the Party Started into my hairbrush. I’m loving her new single, Can We Pretend.

I loved reading this article, it’s so true – Modern Coming-of-Age Rituals. Definitely worth the read.

I’ve never heard of pineapple jam, but I’m loving the idea of it with this recipe.

I love making bruschetta so I really want to try this bruschetta salmon!

I loved sewing in fashion class in high school and I’ve considered taking it up again. This wrap skirt pattern seems so easy and there’s so many cute options for spring and summer.

Loving these free lemon prints – a fun look for any kitchen or living room.

Since the first time I heard Drunk Me by Mitchell Tenpenny, I’ve found his voice mesmerizing. He recently covered Just to See You Smile (originally by Tim McGraw) and I’m in love. I love the original and this version.

The cutest little mules.

I picked up these shorts on sale yesterday. I’m loving the fit! I look at the colour Blank Slate every year and end up leaving them. I might jump the gun and get them this year.

I love those shorts in this print, too. I might go back for them.

How to make the perfect margarita.
