 My BFF arrives in a few hours! I'm over the moon. But before I check out for the weekend, I thought I'd take a moment to reflect back on the past week and share a few simple pleasures ;) What brought you joy over the past 7 days? My #SJOTW are below... HEAR: "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten Is anyone else loving this song as much as I am? Totally Top 40, but also a female power song, which is one of my fave unofficial genres. If you're looking to have some fun while driving around this weekend, I recommend rolling down all of your windows, blasting this song, and singing along at the top of your lungs. You'll feel pretty powerful ;) Listen here. SEE: Orange is the New Black {Season 3} I am SO glad that this show is back! And now True Detective is back, too! But also, I haven't watched the last season of Mad Men yet OR Downtown Abbey yet! And I'm leaving the country for 10 days so I'm going to get even more behind on all of my favorite shows! Remember my old post, Pop Culture is Stressing Me Out? I'm back in a similar place right now right now. So little time and SO many good things to watch. But I've gotten off track--watching an episode of OITNB last weekend was a simple joy, for sure; Loving the new season. TASTE: Theo Chocolate's Coconut Dark Chocolate This chocolate has become my go-to treat around the house. It's really freaking good. I think it's so delicious because it's a really thin bar, so the pieces melt in your mouth...fellow coconut + dark chocolate lovers, I highly recommend. SMELL: That brand new yoga studio smell ;) One of the studios where I teach, Orleans Yoga, has moved into a GORGEOUS new studio space. The Grand Re-Opening is today, but I stopped by yesterday and fell in love. I know it sounds crazy, but a beautiful, light, airy, open, tall-ceilinged space really does make it even more fun to teach yoga. Can't wait to teach my first class in this new studio! TOUCH: Warm sand between my toes + sun on my skin = Our very first beach day of the season Ben and I had our very first beach afternoon of the season last weekend! Although we had tons to do, we had a gorgeous warm day, so we put all of our projects aside and spent a few hours at the beach together. Ben was a bit psycho about it (Wouldn't let us leave until a certain predetermined time, even though I was really hungry), but I was so glad we finally spent some time there. Hoping to get back this weekend if the weather behaves... That's it for this week! FYI, this will be the last SJOTW for two weeks, because I will be taking a blogging break while on my upcoming 10-day trip to Peru (Where I won't have internet for most of the trip and most definitely won't be bringing my laptop). Have a wonderful last weekend in June, bloggies!  Comments are closed.
