Coffee Conversations

Hello and Happy Friday to you! It’s been a productive week around these parts, particularly yesterday, so I’m feeling good. I’ve been in a bit of a creative/motivated rut the last couple of weeks. That usually happens when I get particularly busy outside of work because I’m more tired and always looking forward to the next fun thing happening, so it’s hard to concentrate. But I was able to have a power day yesterday and cruise through some things that have been on my list for weeks, if not months. Never mind the fact that I haven’t washed my hair since Monday 🙈 That’s happening as soon as I hit, “publish” on this post!

Part of my project yesterday was shooting a bunch of new product photos for Elisabeth Ashlie. I love getting to do that really creative stuff for the business – most days it’s just managing inventory, shipping orders, and responding to customer service emails. I love all of those things, too, but when I get a day to put my creative hat on and go all in, it’s always the most fun day.

This looks like something that should be in my closet.

I’m officially a homemade bread maker! I made my first no-knead bread and it was so easy, which is dangerous for me to know. I would add a bit more salt next time, but otherwise love how it turned out.

I shared these on my facebook page earlier this week, but HOW CUTE?! The absolute last thing I need is another pair of sneakers, but the bow just kills me.

We don’t currently have any plans for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, but I feel like I may have to make some homemade guacamole and have a margarita. I mean, that’s what I want to eat nearly every day, so might as well take a solid excuse like Cinco de Mayo to do it, right?!

Reporting back on this lip mask now that I’ve used it for a week: it’s amazing. Worth every single penny. I’d gladly give up 5 lattes for this.

Hope you have a great weekend!

    No knead bread sounds exactly like something I'd be able to accomplish.
