Welcome back to another weekly to-do list of my extra-curricular activities. This week is also Holy Week leading up to Good Friday and Palm Sunday. I'm not entirely sure what my weekend and Easter Sunday looks like just yet, however most years my boyfriend and I go to church service and lunch afterwards. As I write this seemingly silly post on the little fun errands + things I have planned for the week, I'm also making space to reflect and embrace this week for it's true meaning and purpose. As a believer, daughter of God and lover of Jesus Christ, I'm eternally grateful for the history and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for me and humanity. Without Him, we are lost. With Him, we have hope and a future. Worthy is the King who conquered the grave! Wishing you all a blessed and celebratory week ahead!
WEEKLY TO-DO'S:
+NAIL APPOINTMENT - Tomorrow I have an appointment for my first gel x fill. I'm currently on my second set of extensions so I'm excited to see how a fill goes + change out my color for Easter and the next few weeks.
+WORKOUT - Alright, I played a little catch up last week so now I just need to get in two more of my Orangetheory workouts by the end of the month. Today I did a Strength 50 class which was the first one I've been to in awhile + was a nice change up from the regular 2G. I think I'm slowly starting to get my exercise groove back after being in a bit of a lull since the start of the year!
+BIRTHDAY SHOP - JJ's birthday is this Friday so tomorrow's agenda is to do a little more gift shopping for him + all of the birthday prep.
+BF'S BIRTHDAY DINNER - Also on the agenda this week is celebrating his birthday. We usually just do a nice dinner out somewhere which is always fun + a great occasion to dress up for!
+MOVIE DATE - I never made it to that solo movie date I wanted to do a few weeks back so I'm tentatively adding it to my list for tomorrow. I definitely think the current releases are a little underwhelming but I think I'd enjoy watching either the new Ghostbusters or a new one my theatre has called Snack Shack.
+LAUNDRY - Ms. Laundry is the loyal bff you can always count on. She never leaves you high + dry, ya know? You can always count on her to have your back and be there, lol. As usual, it's a never-ending job and every week I try to get through most of the necessities + do a sheet change.
+WEEKLY CRUMBL - Okay, when I saw CARROT CAKE I immediately added trying this week's Crumbl cookies on to my to-do list. Gotta keep my priorities straight! As a huge fan of carrot cake, I have to have it. It looks so bomb + I just know it's gonna be a win. I'm also intrigued by the strawberry pretzel pie... definitely looking promising.
What do you have going on this week?
Week 3 of Ulta's Semi-Annual sale starts this Friday, March 22nd! There have been so many great buys throughout the sale so far and I'm just excited about week 3. If you're new to the event, each day of the sale features select beauty products for 50% off of the regular price. The sale on those items is only good for that one day + then each day after new products are featured and put on sale. What makes it even better is that all of the products included are from higher-end, "prestige" brands you normally don't find on sale. I've had so much fun picking up some of my faves + a few new things to try out! Here are my top picks for week 3:

TGIF, friends! We're kicking the weekend off with today's blog post on the Top 5 Most Popular posts of this month. Here's what made the lineup:
1. OURA RING UNBOXING - It's no secret how much I love my Oura Ring. If you are in to health and tracking data + progress, I highly recommend buying one. I use it primarily for tracking my sleep but I also love that it also records stress levels, overall readiness + the feminine cycle. I also saw this week you can now purchase the rings here on Amazon which is so convenient!

2. SHE READS TRUTH BIBLE | UNBOXING - Another fave that I read every day is my She Reads Truth Bible. Because it's a CSV, it's very easy to understand and translate. This post is an unboxing with some more info + photos if you are shopping for a new Bible.
