Weekend Warriors {9.7.12}

Happy Friday y'all! I know it was a short work week, but I'm glad the weekend is here again. During the fall, my weekends are filled with tailgating, bonfires, and many celebrations. This weekend is no different. While it's still a bit too hot for a roaring fire we will be tailgating and celebrating some birthdays. Here's my list of to-dos this weekend!

1. Feel the Spirit: Cheer on your team this weekend in style. Spread the team spirit by sporting your teams colors from head to toe. Bring a grill, a cornhole set, and plenty of grub to tailgate all day and get ready to cheer your team to victory.

2. Celebrate: Whether it be a birthday, anniversary, promotion at work, or a day off, throw a celebration this weekend. There doesn't need to be a special occasion to bust out the balloons, confetti, and cake. If you ask me, a Saturday is plenty reason enough!

3. Be Fashionable: New York Fashion Week is in full swing. I know I will be taking some time to watch the shows online. So much of my event inspiration comes straight from the runway and I can't wait to see what's hot for spring!

4. Open a Book: With the holiday weekend behind us, I finally have some time this weekend to dive into Sloan Crosley's "How'd You Get This Number?" It's been on iPad waiting to be read for months now! What are you reading right now?

5. Plant a Garden: Now the weather is beginning cool, it's time to plant some new buds on the back deck that can stand up to the cooler temps and less sunlight. I'm sad that my snapdragons are gone but I'm excited for the new blooms to come!

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Warriors

Happy Friday! We made it through another week and it's time to celebrate any little accomplishment. Today, I am unveiling a new series called "Weekend Warriors" featuring five things celebrate or try this weekend. I want to start it off with five things I love to do every weekend. Here goes the list!

1. Spend Time Outside: If you are like me, you spend way more time than you would like inside. I constantly find myself looking out the window longing to be soaking up the sun. My challenge to you this weekend is to take some time and enjoy the beautiful weather. Summer is quickly coming to an end so take it all in while you can!

2. Get Crafty: For me, it's a creative outlet. I like to find something I love online and try and recreate it myself. This weekend, I'll be making this great cherry blossom cake stand that I'll share with you next week!

3. Make a Fabulous Meal: Whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, be creative with what you make. During the week it's all about being quick and healthy. Weekends are a perfect time to try out that daunting but delicious looking recipe you've been eyeing for months or maybe make a four course meal.

4. Grab a Cocktail: It doesn't matter if you are out on the town with a big group of friends or relaxing at home with a more intimate crowd, take some time to spend with the people that make you laugh. They say laughing helps you to relax and I couldn't agree more!

5. Sleep In: It seems so simple, but often times I find myself working so much during the week that weekends are left for that lengthy to-do list of chores and errands that I wake up early to accomplish. Sometimes, I like to throw it out the window and do just what I want, catch up on sleep!

Hope you enjoy the new series and maybe even try out a couple of these things this weekend!
