Weekending: NKOTB and Wish Night

Well it's the start of another extremely busy week!  Work meetings, trying to hustle and meet new buyers, happy hours and going away parties are all on the agenda Monday-Thursday!  Let's recap the weekend shall we?  Linking up with the lovely Biana today!

My weekend started Thursday night when I grabbed 2 of my best girls and headed to the New Kids on the Block concert!  We had a great time and I'm pretty sure I didn't stop singing or dancing!

Nelly was the first opener and I seriously felt like I was back in high school driving my first car.  We used to blast the Country Grammar cd!

TLC was the next group.  It was REALLY awkward watching them because T-Boz sang the majority of the time and Chili danced (kinda half-ass dancing) with the dancers.  It was fun to hear all of their old stuff but just a little weird watching the 2 of them.

FINALLY it was time for the main event and I've seriously never heard a crowd SO loud!  My ears were ringing!

I'll let the next few pictures speak for themselves.

They did all of the old dances and I'm pretty sure the entire audience knew every word to ever song.  So much fun!

My mom got in town Friday and we picked up a few new pretties for the apartment.  I STILL can't find throw pillows for my bed that I like.  I'm super picky and everything I buy just doesn't work the way I want it to.  Blah!

Saturday I gave my mom her Mother's Day present and took her to Blushington to get our makeup done.  Yall this place was gorgeous and our makeup looked beautiful.  Unfortunately I forgot to get any good pictures of makeup but just trust me, they did a great job!

After the makeover, we headed to Wish Night for Make a Wish North Texas.  My mom is a Wish Manager and took me to the event as her date.  It was a beautiful night and so amazing to meet some of the Wish Kids that Make a Wish has helped throughout the years.

I will say that night was the HARDEST night of Whole30 that I've had.  When we sat down at our places, they had dessert already out.  It was freaking chocolate mousse which is basically my favorite dessert in the whole world.  I literally had to sit there and stare at it for 2 hours and not eat it.  I just had to keep reminding myself that it wouldn't be my last chance to have dessert and to just stick to my plan.

Sunday was spent in the kitchen and the laundry room.  So domesticated I am :)

How was the weekend for yall?

Weekending: Stars Game, Girls Night Out, and a Recipe!

Is it just me or was this Monday harder than others to wake up?  I think with last week being so off because of the ice storms in Dallas, my brain and body are confused!

This weekend was a fun one to say the least!  Back in December I gave my Dad tickets to the Stars game for Christmas.  He has seen every other major league sport and really wanted to go to a hockey game.  He flew in Friday night and we had a blast even though the Stars lost in the shootout.

However it would have been more fun if my favorite hockey player had been on the ice!

Saturday after Dad headed back home I got ready and met a few of the girls our for dinner and drinks.  We had a great time despite being served a $14 drink that I didn't order and running into a few incredibly rude Dallas douchebags.  I seriously have to just shake my head at some people!  We may have stayed out a little too late and ordered a little too much at Whataburger.

Someone please explain to me why I have TONS of eyemakeup on in that last pic and you can't even tell!  I need a makeover fairy godmother for sure (how fun would that be?)

Sunday was spent grocery shopping and making this amazing recipe that Biana post about last week.  So delicious and easy to throw together!

This week is going to be insane between working a ton at Pure Barre and trying to take full advantage of my ClassPass.  It's time to get serious about Operation Bikini Body!

I hope yall have a fabulous week and stay warm.  These darn freezing temperatures can go back to the North where they came from!

Linking up with Biana!

What I Want in Dallas

Since I've been back in Dallas my life has been a complete whirlwind!  Between starting the new job, then the holiday events, and now a few roadtrips, I feel like I haven't really gotten to explore my amazing city as much as I want.  I decided to make a list of a few things I want to check out in the next couple of months.  Hopefully if I put it up here, it'll be more likely to happen!

A restaurant where I want to eat:
Kitchen LTO

This is a permanent pop-up restaurant that changes 3 times a year.  Not only does the chef and the menu change but an artist comes in to change the interior as well.  How cool is that?

A boutique I want to visit:
Rio Ritz

Rio Ritz is a funky boutique that is supposed to give the feeling of hanging out at a girlfriend's house.  The precious owner Thais is the cutest thing ever and you may remember her from a little show called Courtney Loves Dallas.  Follow their insta for daily style inspo.

A workout I want to try:
Core Power Yoga

I haven't taken a yoga class since I was in high school but have heard amazing things about hot yoga.  I feel like I've tried almost every workout out there but for some reason haven't made myself go to a yoga studio.  Do any of you girls do hot yoga?  What's the scoop?

There are obviously a million more places to go and places to eat but right now these are my 3 big ones.  Stay tuned for a post like this soon with 3 new things/places!

Things I'm Obsessed With Lately.....

Obviously my mind is preoccupied with packing, seeing my friends "one last time", and soaking up as much of Dallas as I can before August 24!

I thought I'd share a few of the random things I've been obsessed with lately.

First:

Not only have I gotten to see these girls a lot lately, we got to go to my favorite spot in Dallas!  Katy Trail Ice House is seriously one of the best places to grab a drink (or a grilled cheese) and hang out.  Sunday Funday is always the best but really anytime you wanna go, its fun!

Second:

This pillow from this Etsy shop!  Obvs mine will have Texas and Michigan on it and I chose bright green for our color.  This will look great in the new living room!

Third:

The Waterlogged app.  I attempt drink at least 1 gallon of water a day but I want to make sure I keep myself accountable.  Especially on the weekends when I probably drink beer, vodka,  a little less water than I should.  You simply enter a goal of how many ounces you want to drink that day and then log in each time you drink a glass.  It's kind of interesting to see just how much it takes to drink 1 gallon.  And yes, I do pee every 15 minutes, thank you for asking.

Last:

These girls (minus baby Baylor) are headed to see me this weekend!  I have been friends with these lovelies since 6th grade and I am so thankful that they are coming to visit before I head up north!

I'm also obsessed with my new moving announcements from Tiny Prints but I can't show those on le blog....yet :)
