Happy Friday and happy Cinco de Mayo weekend! I hope margaritas are on your agenda.

I started my Cinco festivities a bit early because on Wednesday, Kristyn threw a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend at Mission. It was a great night catching up with her, Jenn, and Laura over margaritas, guac, and queso—it was much needed and so good to see a few of my ~internet friends during the middle of the week.

Another highlight of the week for me is this WARM weather we have been having! Even though my allergies are in full swing, being able to sit outside at lunch and take the leisurely stroll home from spin instead of taking the Metro has turned me into a new person. I say this every year, but I don’t think I realize how much the cold weather impacts my mood until spring finally rolls around.

I’m in town this weekend, and am excited to keep things low key. I’ve got to run to the mall to make some returns and exchanges and am grabbing brunch with some of my spin class gals on Tupelo Honey. Should be a good one—I hope you have a fun one lined up! x
