Top 5 Hairsprays
The temps have dropped about 40 degrees and it feels like FALL outside! This is affectionally called “fake fall” in the south. We will definitely have more 80-90 degree days in the next month or so, but I’ll take any reprieve from the humidity that I get!
Do you have plans for the weekend? My sprint triathlon is on SUNDAY. It felt so far away for so long and now it’s happening…in 48 hours. I’m excited and also have a lot of nervous energy! The beauty of this race is that I have one goal: to complete the race. And I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to hit that goal!
Beyond that, my parents are visiting this weekend so that should be fun, and I’m hoping to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the weather!
I love these stretch bracelets.
Amanda was wearing these Target sneakers at our meeting Wednesday and agreed that they are so comfortable!
This is a great intro to some wonderful Ole Henricksen products that I love.

Have you ever done a color consult? I’m currently in the process 🙂
Favorite charity? It’s hard to pick one, but an organization I’ve donated to regularly and happily support is Feeding America. You can read more here.

You had a Henley top on the other day. I’ve been searching! Advise?
It’s from J.Crew 🙂
Best of luck at your tri this weekend! I’m hoping to hear more about the experience in the next few weeks!
Good luck on your triathalon! Where did you get the ring you are wearing? It is so pretty!
OMG Kate! I‘ve had my Mini Cooper for over 7 years now and did NOT know about this secret compartment! As soon as I saw your story on Instagram, I ran outside and checked… and there it was! I can‘t believe it. 🤣🤣🤣
So, many thanks for that and hugs from Germany! Love you!
Who did you use for your color consult? Would you recommend them?
