Weekend Bliss

I always love the weekends but, who doesn't? This weekend I had a great excuse to have some friends over for a Galentines celebration on Friday. I made the delicious cookies that I mentioned here, ordered pizza, made yummy drinks & caught up with the girls. The night was much needed & of course ended with us watching our favorite music videos like Beyonce, Britney Spears, Hanson & Backstreet Boys (I am a total 90's kid.)

Cookie bags + drinks for Galentines

I put the cookies in cute little bags (inspired by these bags by Spoon Fork Bacon) to make the girls feel extra special. The straws also add a fun touch to our drinks!

^^ How cute is Courtney? 

Even though I am single I still enjoy celebrating Valentines & appreciating all the amazing people I have in my life. My darling friend Jessica from home (Salt Lake City) sent me a sweet gift for Valentines. I had no idea something was coming until I got home & I discovered a package. Even after opening it I wasn't sure who they were from & I asked my sister if she ordered me earrings. It wasn't until after opening & digging into the package that I noticed they were from Jessie!! I also, got a rose from my Uber driver which was a sweet touch to the day.

She knows me so well! Anything with a bow, I love.

The day after V-day I met up with some friends to get brunch at The Regal Beagle which is right down the street from where I live. It's a small little restaurant with delicious drinks! If you're ever visiting Boston or Brookline you should give it a try! 

Also, how can you not love a restaurant who's mascot is a beagle? Oh & check out the yummy food I had!

There is nothing better than eating delicious food, hanging out with friends & hiding away from the snow. After brunch my friend Emily and I decided to stop off at the Brookline Booksmith to cozy up to some books.

While we were wandering around the store we saw a coloring book + crayons. What could be better? We of course bought them & headed back to my apartment. Coloring is super relaxing, I don't know why I ever stopped doing it. Oh & we of course bought half priced chocolate...

Coloring fun!

After coloring I decided to brave the snow again & go out...

Braving the storm with a mini top knot.

This morning the snow finally stopped & it was actually a gorgeous day. I decided to head downtown to pick up some stuff for this upcoming week (more on that later.) I always love going to Copley Square it's one of my favorite places in Boston...

Copley Square!

After taking in the gorgeous view, I headed into Nordstrom Rack to run some errands. Before Valentine's Day, Kate Spade, was having a 75% off sale & I had my eye on a bag but it of course sold out. So today when I was at Nordstrom Rack I saw this lovely bag & I had to treat myself! I don't usually splurge like this but I felt like I deserved it (ha!).

Splurge alert! 

All in all it was a great weekend! I am nervous about this upcoming week because it is a big one for me... I can't really talk about it right now but, lots of exciting things are happening. I hope to share with all of you soon. In the meantime wish me luck & send lots of good vibes. I hope you all had a great weekend + have a great week ahead!

Xo,

Emily

P.s. we are getting more snow this week, who else is ready for spring? Bring it on...
