how to end the week right.

It’s Saturdayyyyy!

I don’t know about you, but this past week seems to have flown by. I didn’t anticipate it being the craziest of weeks, but my days lately have just been booked from start to finish. Throw some (sort of serious) blog issues into the mix…and, let’s just say I was excited to get the weekend off to an early start.

I kicked off a pre-start to the weekend by having dinner with none than miss Monica on Thursday night.

Fun fact: did you know that Monica and I actually would not have been friends if it were not for GML? She has a friend who made a recipe from here, then Monica started reading and found out about FreelyBe, came to one of our meetings, and it was friendship at first sight

We had dinner at one of my favorite new spots, Westville. Westville’s food is not only delicious, but it’s some of the most fresh and healthy I’ve had in the city. We split four of their market sides (fried plantains, mashed sweet potatoes, parmesan asparagus, and sautéed kale):

And almond-crusted trout over a salad with pears and avocado:

I kept the fresh and healthy kick going for breakfast the next morning to keep me fueled for the long day ahead.

Then…I was off. I spent almost all of Friday out and about running errands, meetings, getting my monthly allergy shot, and doing my blogger duty of taking a selfie to prove it.

And, of course, Jessi and I found some time to squeeze in just a bit of shopping. I picked up a lipstick I’ve been wanting, thanks to the Sephora gift card my lovely roommate Trish got me for my birthday.

Obnixious pink, anyone?

That would be NARS Schiap (semi matte) lipstick. I originally tried it on almost as a joke but loved how fun the shade was! It’s a great color to brighten things up a bit going into spring.

After a couple of hours at home to relax and get ready for the night ahead, Jessi and I headed out to the first of our two events for the night. First up was hosting corporate happy hours at Hudson Common, followed by another installment of the You+2 events.

Our job isn’t so bad.

And now here I am – just having finished some pumpkin pancakes courtesy of my BFF Jessi – and prepping to get the day started. I might even be a rebel and leave my bed unmade today. Good thing I have a futon to store my 92465947 pillows…

Aaaand I’m off. Enjoy your Saturday, friends!

How did you wrap up this week? Any fun plans for the weekend?
