Coffee Conversations


Helloooooo! Friday is here!

It’s my last official day of work until September 1st, I can’t believe it! I remember talking about this day back in March and here we are. It’s been a rather insanely busy week, so I’m very much looking forward to shutting the computer down at 5pm today. Once I’ve finished my obligations, it’s time to pack up my office for our move! All of these things that Mike and I have been talking about for months are starting to happen and it’s wild. Time flies!

My bachelorette trip last weekend was so. much. fun. My matron and maid of honor did an amazing job planning a trip for the seven of us. If you missed it, we spent the weekend in NYC! Also, if you’re  ever tasked with planning a bachelorette outing, I highly recommend private karaoke. It was so fun to travel with that group of girls, as it will likely never happen again!

I shared on my instagram story yesterday that I received a mailing from Charlotte Tilbury (!!!) which included this amazing palette. I only used it once but I’m already recommending it to people. So perfect for travel, too. I also tried the overnight mask and woke up with a nice little glow!

Definitely packing this adorable romper for our honeymoon.

I’m re-watching Pretty Little Liars and too happy about it. I think I stopped somewhere around season 3 or 4 last time. The drama, you guys. It’s one of a kind.

Mike and I head up to the lake for the 4th of July weekend on Sunday! My sister and her family will get into town that day, and my brother will be there, also. So looking forward to a little bit of downtime before the real madness begins.

Have a great weekend!

    Testimony on how i got my LOAN from fundingloanplc@yahoo.com

    I'm Isabella Tyson from 1910 N Halsted St Unit 3, Chicago IL60614 USA,, i have been searching for a genuine loan company for the past few months and all i got was bunch of scams who made me to trust them and at the end of the day took my money without giving anything in return, all hope was lost i got confused and frustrated, i find it very difficult to feed my family and vowed never to have anything to do with loan companies on net and went to seek of assistance from a very good friend which i explained all my experience regarding online companies with and said he can help me that he knows of a Godsent and well known company called FUNDING CIRCLE PLC, he stated he just got a loan from them although i was still very unsure about this company due to my past experience but i decided to give it a try and did as i was directed by my friend and applied, i never believed but i tried and to my greatest surprise i received my loan in my bank account within 24 hours, i could not believe that i would stand on my feet financially again. I’m glad I took the risk and applied for the loan and today i'm thanking God that such loan companies still exist and promise to share the good news to people who are in need of financial assistance because the rate of scams on net is getting very serious and i don't want people to fall victim when we still have genuine and Godsent lenders.. You can contact this Godsent company using the information as stated and be a partaker of this great testimony.. Email: fundingloanplc@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +14067326622 thanks

    THE BEST PLACE TO SOLVE YOUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ( upstartloan@yahoo.com )

    Hello everyone in this forum, I am Jane Robin from palm Harbor Florida 34682. USA and want to use this medium to express gratitude to UP START LOAN for fulfilling their promise by granting me a loan, i was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never with success, and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, i was introduced by a friend named Mary Williams to UP START LOAN whom also confirmed to me that she also obtained a loan from them. In an attempt to resolve my current situation, i got in contact with the company via email and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Mary, i was also granted a loan of $80,000.00; So my advise to everyone who or know someone who desires a loan, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact UP START LOAN. Besides, he doesn’t know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, i'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on ( upstartloan@yahoo.com ) or Text/Call +1(574) 301-1639 —-===
