6 things that are essential this Monday.

 

1. Aside from the few home décor pieces and the groceries that make it into my buggy while browsing a local shop, "going shopping" is something I can't seem to grasp. I read once, money looks better in your bank account than on your feet, and I think I have been scared ever since. But this weekend, I thought it was time I start dressing like an adult, rather than the college student who is still wearing the clothes mom bought for the first day of senior year of high school. So, yesterday I went to the mall and purchased 5 new items, all of course had to be on sale, had to be able to be warn with multiple things and had to be something that had recently been pinned or a look alike of sort. At Tom Thumb and Target the day before... completely different story.

2. Cool weather and flannels. This is something that I missed, I can't decide if it is because I look better in baggy clothes for men or if it is because it means we are getting closer to the holidays! Lord knows I love a good holiday (especially if I get to decorate)!

Editors note: Saturday, I may or may not have had a mini freak out due to the fact that it is S E P T E M B E R and it just so happened to be 62 F degrees and my wedding is in the month of O C T O B E R. Hi, cold weather streak, faux fur coats for everyone?

3. ALL OF MY LAUNDRY IS DONE, small task seeing as how I do laundry for two... but a big accomplishment when it includes: rugs, towels, clothes, every blanket in the house and pillow cases. This was a great feeling because not 10 minutes after it was completed I was able to organize and color coat the closet(s).

4. Weekly lunch prep... yes, this is something I got excited about. Maybe because it was a first that my future husband and I got to experience together! We decided to be lazy and make The Easiest 5 Step Chicken Enchiladas and we made enough to eat each day and for dinner last night. Now saying we won't pack a sandwich one day is false hope, but they won't go bad, I promise!

5. Yesterday marked the one month mark until my 24th birthday. With that being said, I have surpassed my aging chances to become the next Miss. America, what a wasted youth, kidding. But Adam was so great at pointing out that he already had a list going of things that I might want, what a keeper! But while I think I should have said, babe, you're really all I need this year, I might have said I would love one of these... or these... or the 50 other things I pinned to my wish list on Pinterest.

6. Vlogging, that's right. I'm coming up for air and I AM SO EXCITED! I don't know when my first video will launch but... I do know that I am so pumped to start creating and showing my nail techniques, hair tutorials and recipe's that I show out on here! I want to know what you want to hear about, so leave it in the comments BELOW!

Sincerely, Shelbi
