Royally Waiting (Link-up #2)
Waiting on my hair appointment! It seems like my hair will be just fine and then bam, roots for days. Tomorrow is my 6 week appointment and it could not have come too soon. Thinking I’ll continue to just nip the ends but dabbling with going a little lighter or a little bit darker. I’ve been testing out the Kristen Ess thickening spray from Target and it smells so good and it does seem to be adding some texture to my super fine hair.
Working on a consistent workout schedule. The past few weeks I took my own workout tips and added my workouts onto my calendar. Instead of just plugging in all the possible workouts I’ve been looking more strategically at my calendar for the week on Monday and plugging in the workouts that will fit. This one was a doozy but I felt quite accomplished at the end!
Reading is something I’m making more time for and I finished two more books in February and loved them both. Read between the lines for my February book review.
Thinking it’s time for some color on my pasty legs! Yikes, I’ve been wearing a few dresses since the temps have been in the 80’s and it’s no wonder everyone is wearing shades. No fear, my fave sunless tanner should be arriving next week. What is your favorite?
Considering starting a book club for women at work. I have tons of Christian based books to choose from but would also like some inspirational women’s leadership books on the list. For the first book my goal is to find 10 individuals around campus who would like to meet bi-weekly to discuss the topics in the book and leave feeling a little more empowered! If you have any book suggestions I’d love to hear.
Eating tacos! Last Friday I shared the chicken carnitas recipe we loved last week and we had a little taco Tuesday (even though Carly kept reminding me it was Fat Tuesday) celebration with the leftover chicken, some steak from the weekend and a new batch of regular taco meat. It was the perfect dinner for a Tuesday night! AND….I used my instant pot

I have been using the R+F self tanner since February haha! And I just ordered another bottle-it's my favorite! Love those booties on you, too! I spend money on quality shoes, too, because I view it as an investment! And I will not wear shoes that hurt my feet.

Is this link up every Wednesday ? And love those SE booties. So cute
Beautiful booties on the most beautiful gal and gimme those tacos….they look scrumptious!!! Happy Wednesday, such a great new series!!
I love those booties, too! I tried out the Vince Camuto, but had to send them back. As pretty as they were, they were just a little too tall for me..
That instapot sounds very interesting. I grew up eating beans like that.
Your thinking is my thinking too. I am SO stinking tired of being pale and sad but I don't want to hop on a tanning bed either. UGH! Maybe I should try some sunless tanner out.
Great booties! Shoes are always worth the splurge. Says every woman….
I love those booties! I got myself a pair not that long ago too and I'm just itching to wear them but it is still a tad too cold, snow is basically gone but it is chilly! haha I will have to remember to link up next week 🙂
Those booties are so cute! I've been wanting a pair of booties similar to that to kind of bridge between riding boots and sandals and those are perfect!
Yesterday I checked on the Vince Camuto's again and the had my size!!!😀 YIPPEE, I put them in my cart pressed "checkout" and they were already out of stock. BOOOO😩. I'll keep watching. Love the Sam Edelman's too. I looked at those. I choked and ordered the Vince C's everyone's getting, but we'll see if I love them enough to keep them when they arrive.😬. I'm marking my calendar NOW for next weeks link up since I totally busted it and forgot today. Happy Wednesday!
I'm going to pretend like I didn't just see these amazing looking tacos. Yum!!
I am so tempted to get an instant pot, but I have sworn off buying any more kitchen appliances. I have so many that are just gathering dust! Love those booties. I'm impressed that you log so many steps in shoes with heels!
I'm coming over to read books and eat yummy tacos! 🙂
I need an instant pot – maybe a summer purchase? Loving those booties – can you believe I walked away from the store with no shoes yesterday!?!? WHO AM I?
OMG, my hair was SO bad before I finally got it done yesterday. I usually try to go every 8 weeks, but this time it had been over 12. EEEEKS. My hair grows really fast so I should really do mine every 6 weeks like you do!
My hair grows so slow….or so I think until I get close to 6 weeks! My "real" hair has gotten darker and darker over the years and I honestly would just let it be dark except it has no texture without the blonde. Ugh! Girl problems.
I can NOT believe you walked away with no shoes!! I'm all about instant gratification…it's not one of my strengths.
This sucker has seriously changed dinner for me Tanya so now that I finally was brave enough to get it out of the box I'm loving it. I seriously am just more comfortable in heels oddly enough….I rarely wear flats but that just means it's really important for my heels to be comfy!
Tacos are EVERYthing! haha Someday when you come to Texas for work maybe I will be in the same vicinity and we can share some!
oh bummer Lisa! That always stinks. We will be looking forward to you joining us next week!
I saw a cheaper pair made by I think by Lucky Brand or Steve Madden that were also cute. I wore them yesterday and LOVED these.
Right? I am not always a shoe girl but I've been a little crazy over booties…I think I now have 8 or 9 pair of booties…eek
I swore off the tanning bed years ago. I know the real sun isn't much better but maybe a teeny bit. I really just look like 10 lbs thinner (to me anyway) when I'm tan. haha
Me too girl I tanned on beds in my later teens off and on then swore it off. I live outside all summer but usually always wear a very low spf on my face and shoulders and a higher one as the summer goes along. I feel so much better about my body when it is tan.
We're on the same page with tacos – all day every day recently ha! Can't get enough! You should definitely start the book club – how fun! LOVE those booties and thanks for linking that thickening spray!
Fun link up. I'm trying to read more. I just downloaded The Woman in Cabin 10 that you suggested! Thanks for hosting. You will love The Year of Yes. Another good one that I haven't reviewed yet on the blog is Essentialism. Check that one out for your group.
Great link up idea! If you start a book club, share your books with us too! I would love some recommendations. 🙂

pumps and push-ups
I have seen Charro Beans on different IG acts I follow and wondered what they were! Ok now I know. LOL
Oh your new shoes are lovely! I think shoes are worth splurging on sometimes! 🙂 Nothing worse than uncomfortable shoes.
The book club is a wonderful idea! While I don't have any suggestions for you I hope you share some of the books you read 🙂
Hope you are having a really good week 🙂

Pinning and planning to shop for the Target hair thickening spray. Boy, do I need it!
Love this new link up. I've got one more Paris post to do and then I'll join you. Those tacos look so delicious, and I love your new booties.
I've had my eye on booties like that! So, so cute!
Lordy Becky….I'm bootie crazy! I've gotta stop the madness.
We can't wait for you to join the fun Lana!
Did I mention it smells amazing?!!
If I get a book club rolling I will totally be sharing Mica!
Girl….I love charro beans!
Absolutely Brooke!
I put that book on my list for our work group to vote on for our first book club! Now…if I can actually get it up and running….this will be a stretch for me. I'll look into the other!
Yep…I'm pretty sure if we ever meet there will be tacos, margaritas and maybe some harmless flirting with the waiter. lol
Give me all the tacos Alison! I've never met a taco I didn't love!
We would love to have you Brittany! Yes…cold toes are no bueno….hopefully you will have a chance to wear soon. I'm wearing all of mine like crazy.
Awww….bummer Kathy! Making beans always reminds me of my grandpa….he made a pot every week and I can still see him sitting at the kitchen counter sorting them.
All the tacos….if we ever meet that will totally be on the menu! 🙂
Yes mam….every week! The SE booties have been so comfy!
I seriously have to make time to use the self tanner….I'm ridiculously white right now.
