Well, hey there!
I survived the bachelorette party in Texas last weekend–hands down one of the most epic weekends I’ve ever had. Basically, from the moment my mom picked me up at the airport it was like I was living in a movie. There were obstacles that hindered our plans, crazy characters around every corner, and oh-so much dancing. And drinking. And celebrating life.
Epic, I tell you.
Here are some notable Instagrams (and then I swear I’ll tell you about the spice tea and breakfast quinoa), because as we all know–if you don’t Instagram cool things that happen to you, did they really happen?




1. I got a bonafide Louis Vuitton. Late 25th birthday present. I am in a relationship with this bag.
2. Me and the bride!
3. Lovely Bass Hall in Fort Worth. We saw West Side Story. Life changing.
4. First Trader Joe’s experience after Shelton picked up whisked me away from the airport!
5. You should really follow me on Instagram. I follow back! @sarah1119
The weekend was such an adventure, there’s no way to wrap it up. Just awesome. That is all.
No, wait! That is not all.
I’ve had the opportunity to guest post around the interwebz on some pretty awesome blogs: Pricilla J. Designs and Polka Dots and Lemonade. I shared my mom’s delish Spice Tea recipe (winter staple!) and my take on Breakfast Quinoa. You should visit these lovely ladies’ blogs to snag the recipes and see what they’re all about! More pictures to whet your visual whistle:

I hope you are all having a great day. I know I’ve been pretty light with posting this week, but I am working on some fun things for you! The February issue of Swoonful drops next week and that’s sure to be awesome.
