Thoughts for Friday

*UPDATE: re-post...sorry! Blogger formatting was a little messy for a bit - now it's fixed! 

Happy Friday! I am so excited it's the weekend, how about you? I am ready for a low-key, relaxing weekend with no set plans (nice for a change)! Maybe I'll go to the pool, maybe I'll go to the beach, maybe I'll go shopping...or maybe I'll just relax! I am relishing in the fact that I can do whatever I feel - know what I mean? 

I'm loving this Essie polish, "Cute as a Button." I currently have gel nails (anyone else obsessed?), but am thinking I will give my nails a break next time and go for this fun, summer shade!


How refreshing does watermelon and strawberry lemonade sound? I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and am hoping to try it out this weekend. 


I have a love/hate relationship with chalkboard walls, doors, cabinets, etc...On one hand, I love the idea - I think it's a fun, unexpected way to spice up a dull space. On the other hand, some of them end up looking so messy, it takes away from the charm. Here are a few chalkboard spaces I am currently loving. What are your thoughts on the 'chalkboard wall?' Do you have one in your home?

Cheers to the weekend! What do you have planned?

  3. great inspiration pics! I love how chalkboards look in other peoples homes but I'm more of a dry erase type of girl....although some how I don't think that would look as cute ;)

  4. I get Shellac, is that the same as gel? Its's wonderful--lasts for weeks and doesn't chip!

    I like the chalkboard paint too. Our friends have one wall in their guest bathroom painted with it. Kind of fun but out of the way at the same time.

  5. I love that Essie color! I like the idea of a chalkboard wall and in our house I painted a piece of wood and framed it instead of painting a whole wall or cabinet door. That way I can easily take it down if I get tired of it! Hope you are having a great weekend!

  6. i think chalkboard walls can either be great or, like you said, a big mess. however, when they are cleaned and maintained, they can really add to a room. i like all the images that you have of them :)
