Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
Let’s see what brought the sparkle this week!
Remember last week’s sandals? Yeah, apparently, they’re not the only recent purchase I’ve made based on a favorite nail polish color! As I was working this week, I realized that the purpley-pink shade of my fun new keyboard and mouse is basically Essie “Splash of Grenadine”! 😁 Which I’m pretty sure I got on a lunchtime shopping trip with my work besties in 2013. 💜💜 #purpleisaneutral (How do I remember these things??)
My mom’s family was down the shore this week, so I made a day trip on Wednesday. I was not looking forward to the drive, but I really do want to “maintain my proficiencies” with driving and not lose all of my skills, as Moira Rose has!
This longer drive on multiple highways and a not-totally-familar route was good practice, and I really fared well! (Like, I’d had a bout of uncontrollable shaking while driving 10 minutes from my house in May, sooo being remotely chill for 90 minute stretches was a big win. 😂) I stopped at Starbucks beforehand (love having a fun drink for longer rides!) and had a lovely time sipping my Starbs, driving in the sunshine, and listening to the Holding Kourt podcast! Kourtney cracks me up, and I feel like we could maybe be friends in an alternate universe where I actually am a baseball wife and not just being mistaken for one at a AAA game (a story for another day!)! 😂
The giant bruise on my leg will be explained shortly…. 🙃
It was actually a bit cool and breezy, so we never made it to the beach, but my mom and I did have fun shopping on the boardwalk! And I did get to *see* the ocean from there!
Return of the “cool girl” top! 😂😂
I also learned that I have Gen Z sensibilities, as I was drawn to all sorts of cute and colorful things on the boardwalk that I am definitely not the target demographic for. 😂 Here are the fun little things I got! (Actually, my mom got most of them for me as early birthday presents. 😁)
At the end of last week, I somehow tripped going up the stairs and then fell down a few. Like, how?? It was truly impressive. The “sparkle” here is, thank God I did not seriously injure myself! Although this is also how I ended up with gnarly bruises that were the talk of the shore house. 😑
