Y'all, just a quick PSA before I jump into this Friday's Favorites. It's almost here. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This is THE SALE of the year. You can get new Fall lines at discounted prices. Today I am highlighting my favorites and including a couple of splurges in with the bunch. The sale begins July 21. You'll want to shop early because stuff sells out quickly. If you are a Nordstrom Rewards member, you get EARLY ACCESS. It's free to sign up - so do it! Early Access begins July 13! You get a whole week to shop before everyone else. Now on with the regularly scheduled program.

You all know my love for Podcasts. I listen to them all the time. Every so often I'll do a round up of what I'm currently listening to, especially since I am constantly adding new ones all the time.
The Popcast with Knox and Jamie. If you are a fan of all things pop culture this one is for you. It drops on Wednesday morning so it is the perfect thing to get you over the midweek hump. I have giggled out loud on more than one occasion. It's like listening to two friends discuss movies, tv, music, and all that other pop culture goodness.
Are you a sports fan? Have you ever watched the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries? Well they started a podcast and it is good. The most recent release was on the "Yankees Suck" chant and as a Red Sox fan I was tickled. Check this one out.
I stumbled on True Crime Garage this week and I am hooked. I am a sucker for a true crime podcast and this one does not disappoint. The most recent one was a two parter on the Madeleine McCann abduction. It's not sensationalized, it's not over the top, just informative.
The one I listen to first thing in the morning is Up First by NPR. First thing on my drive every morning I start this podcast for a quick news hit. It's 12-15 minutes and a good way to get a handle on what's going on in the world as I start my day.
Another recent discovery is Best Case Worst Case. A former FBI Profiler and a prosecuter take you behind the scenes. It's almost like a real life podcast version of Law & Order.
Smartest Person in the Room runs on themes. Every few weeks there is a new theme and the host interviews people based on the theme. Basically, the smartest people in the room related to a certain subject. Reality TV, Books, you name it. It's fascinating and riveting. I love it.
All Pro Mindset is motivational and inspirational. Hosted by Doc (a psychologist and my college roommate) and Coach, each week sees them interviewing different "pros" - actors, athletes, lawyers, about what it takes to be successful in their given area. Give it a listen!
And that's what's in my podcast queue - what are you all listening to? Sound off in the comments! I am off to Phoenix tomorrow - have a great weekend y'all!

Here we are - the last Wednesday of May - can you believe it??? I know I saw this just about every month, but this month went by soooooo fast. Holy Cow! And I don't see any signs of things slowing down. Here's what we've been up to this month!
I feel like we've been eating all the things because of our trip to New York. Trying to get back on the healthy eating train after that trip.
Monday - grilled chicken, roasted broccoli, and couscous
Tuesday - zucchini noodles, creamy tomato basil sauce, and turkey meatballs
Wednesday - honey chipotle salmon and roasted brussel sprouts
Thursday - don't know yet
Friday - not sure, maybe turkey burgers, per usual
Saturday - date night and I can't think that far ahead yet, ha!
The strawberries have been delicious lately so I have been picking up a container each week at the market. I'm trying to pack good, healthy snacks for work so I am not tempted to pick on junk.
Our trip to New York! We had such a great weekend. We explored so much of Manhattan. It was fun to share that experience with Phillip - it was his first trip!
And for real, go see Anastasia! We were not disappointed. A phenomenal cast and just so well done.
The trip ended on a high note - when you are 6'6" you hope that this is the seat you get!
At the moment, I am LOVING being a Stella & Dot Stylist. May was a really good month for me on this journey. I hit two milestones and I have just been having so much fun with it.

Commencement dominated my time at work.
I got to snuggle with this sweet boy.
Got some wedding stuff checked off the list. We had our tasting and ordered our invitations. Eeek! It's coming up so fast!
Got ready for swimsuit season by finding some great suits.
And of course, barre!
At the moment? Nothing. All is good.
I've been working on some Stella & Dot stuff for June as well as some wedding final details. Interested in hosting a show or know of someone who would? Hit me up, June dates are filling up fast.
A few weeks ago, our house looked like this:
But now...it looks like this:
Squeee!!! They've put the forms up and done some grading. Yay!!!! We had our pre-construction meeting and now they get started. Hooray!!!
I'm hoping to finish A Man Called Ove this weekend. And then it's on to The Woman in Cabin 10.
I binge watched Anne with an E on the plan this last weekend and I was NOT disappointed. It was so so good. It's a little darker and grittier than the much beloved 1985 version, but I feel it hews more closely to what Anne's life would have been like in the orphanage and in service prior to her arrival at Green Gables. I found it to be incredibly well done.
New podcasts I've added to the rotation: Sorta Awesome and The Daily.
Still in rotation: All the others, ha! My Favorite Murder, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey, The West Wing Weekly, Stuff Mom Never Told You...

This is my new favorite summer work outfit - and I found the top and skirt at Target! the skirt is a midi length and I just love it.
I think just laying low and catching up on some sleep.
A trip back to Rhode Island for my bridal shower and hopefully a day at the beach!
Not much, but ask me again in a week or so.
Hawaii!!! Hands down.
It was so beautiful and so relaxing. I cannot wait to go back this October.
That's it for What's Up Wednesday! Don't forget about the Giveaway!!! You have until tomorrow night to submit your entry.
You could win this gorgeous blue Passion Planner and a Starbucks Giftcard! Perfect to get a jump start on your planning for the next year.
Have a great day everyone!
