Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend!  Tomorrow I’ll be celebrating my girl Sydne’s birthday with an all-day yoga and meditation session, followed by me watching hours of Sunday night TV, haha. But here are my favorite reads from the week…

Weekend Reading

My friend Kelly talks about a 30-day declutter challenge that I really, REALLY want to do.

These 90s hair accessories are bringing back some serious memories (and major laughs).

A “zero waste” kitchen seems pretty impossible but some of these eco-friendly products are pretty awesome (and useful).

I LOVE THIS. 15 life lessons we learned from Sex and The City’s Samantha Jones…

And this- 20 random acts of kindness that you can do today. <3 Spread the love.

This is horrifying, but hilarious.  Nine women share their most mortifying social media mishaps.

I’m currently watching the new Netflix documentary “Take Your Pills,” which talks about the country’s obsession with Adderall and the incessant need to “get ahead”- super interesting.

The velvet fringe dress I wore to my birthday dinner is on sale for $62! It’s so comfortable and I got a ton of compliments.

I’ve been using this lip sleeping mask every night and my lips have never been softer.

What I bought on Amazon:

This week’s buys were kind of boring, but extremely useful.

• I had to re-stock up on my favorite grain-free Siete tortillas! These are seriously SO good.
• Speaking of, after seeing this brand on Shark Tank, I decided to try Palmini pasta. We’ll see how it goes…
• My nephew is obsessed with Stranger Things so I bought this card to send to him
• My nephew also kept asking to use my sleep mask when I was in New York the other week so I ordered him a kid-sized version.

I’m the first to admit that I always #eyeroll every time one of the Kardasian-Jenner’s posts an Insta Story or Snap of one of their lavish flower arrangements. That money could be put to better use via a charity…just saying.

Are you following me on Pinterest yet? I’ve been pinning tons of content to my “lips are moving” board, as well as my “healthy food” board (both my faves).

Weekend Reading

Julia from Lemon Stripes did a great Acupuncture 101 post; acupuncture has done wonders for my back and is actually (shockingly) covered by my health insurance!

These new DIY rubber face masks make such a great gift (or fun for a girls night).

If you cry as much as I do every time that ASPCA commercial comes on TV then this post on 6 easy ways to help homeless animals should be a must for your weekend reading.

Leandra from Man Repeller watched Fifty Shades Freed so we don’t have to. Spoilers ahead but if you don’t plan on seeing the movie, this will satisfy any questions that you have, haha.

Here, my friend Amy Nadine (celeb makeup artist) shares her story about infertility and adopting two beautiful boys. Get the tissues out for this one, guys.

Speaking of kids, my friend Andrea wrote this great piece for the Coveteur about how leaving New York made her a better mom <3

This is a great Q&A about moving on from adult friendship breakups– they can be so rough!

These 50 Tony Robbins’ quotes are pretty inspiring. My favorite: “progress = happiness.”

What I bought on Amazon:

• Healthy snacks! My R.D. friend Jackie raved about these grain-free, coconut flour tortilla chips and I tried these jicama chips a few weeks ago and loved them (plus each bag is only 100 calories).
• A funny dating book (I Had a Nice Time…and Other Lies). The Betches wrote another winner, in my opinion. It’s super funny and relatable.

Because this is hands-down the best mattress I’ve ever slept on…

(plus my new bed frame and bedding!)
