Summer Lovin’ Questions (A Week Later)

I know I’m a week late to the party, but I thought today I’d answer the link up questions from last week!
1. Walk or Bike Ride?  Since I don’t own a bicycle anymore, I guess I prefer walking ha!

2. Favorite Picnic Food?  Sandwiches–either a tomato sandwich or a BLT.

3. Pool or Lake?  Pool for sure since I can see to the bottom.  I definitely have gotten less fun as I’ve gotten older because I’ve gotten practical like that haha!  I think about all the times I swam off our pier at our lake cabin as a child and never had a worry in the world about what was in that water.  Please tell me I’m not alone in this!  I’ll still swim in the lake or river, but I’d prefer the pool overall.

4. Favorite Flavor of ice cream?  Chocolate chip cookie dough FOREVER

5. Ice Cream Cone or in a Dish?  Cone

6. Flip Flops or Slides?  These flip flops!

7. Jean Shorts or Jean Capris?  Out of those two choices, I’ll say jean shorts.  I just got a pair this summer that I actually like, and full price they’re under $30!  And they stretch!!

8. Favorite summer Fruit?  Strawberries!

9. Corn on the Cob or Cut Off the Cob?  On the cob–I’m not afraid to get it between my teeth haha!  I just have to floss after.

10. Favorite summertime song?  When I think of music in the summer, I think of classic rock–Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix…that’s what I want blasting while I’m outside or on the boat.  

11. Favorite summertime activity?  Not going to school!

12. Favorite Berry? Strawberries and blackberries

13. Bikini’s, tankini’s or one pieces?  I’ve never really been a fan of tankini’s on me, and right now during this season of life, I’m in one pieces.  I’m so glad they are making a come back because lots of one pieces are so stylish!!  I recently bought this bathing suit in a maroon color.  I have to be really careful buying one pieces since I have such a long torso, so I usually end up sizing up one for the length.

14. Dresses or Skirts?  Dresses all year long and I really like to add in skirts in the fall/winter

15. One Word to describe Summer?  Perfect!

Friday Faves

Happy Friday, y’all!  

I’ve got lots of FAVORITES to share with y’all today!

-Before I get to those, I’m putting together a Q&A post for next week, so if you have any question for me, either leave in the comments or email me!  Dustin even submitted a question last night on stories, so I’ll be answering his next week haha!

-The Pure White Cotton Bath and Body Works candle–I’ve been burning it 24/7 and I love how light and clean the scent is!  What’s your favorite summer candle scent?

-I’m almost done with season 5 of Suits!  I’m trying to hurry and finish all 7 seasons before I go to The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference with my bff because she’s watched all of them and I plan on having long discussions about it!

-Sephora released a new kind of lipstick with their Sephora Collection make up.  My mom has raved about it, so I finally bought some (it’s super cheap!).  I really like it!  It’s creamy and stays on well–my only complaint is that there aren’t a lot of colors to choose from!

One of my favorite meals in the summer is anything grilled!  Last night we grilled hamburgers (using meat from my mom and stepdad’s farm) and corn on the cob.  SO GOOD!  And if you’re from the South, you can’t forget a tomato–I’ve got enough slices for a tomato sandwich today for lunch!



I got a question on yesterday’s post about these shorts.  Because I still can’t respond back to any comments (thanks Blogger 😫), I’ll link them here!  They are my favorite shorts to lounge around in and wear on days that I’m wearing comfy clothes.


Here’s a new favorite song for y’all!  The band, Dawes, is coming to Birmingham in November and I want to go!  

Have a great weekend!

Life Lately

Happy Thursday, y’all!  I’m coming at you with a little life lately since I haven’t done one of those in forever!!  Before I get started on it, I have to comment on the Blogger comment email issue.  It’s driving me crazy not being able to respond back to anyone’s comments and for other bloggers who I comment on to not be able to respond back to me!  I miss the communication!!  Does anyone have any updates on it?

And I would have typed out this post yesterday, but any free time I got I was watching Suits #noshame


 I was finally cleared to workout regularly again so this is me after my first high intensity workout–after I changed clothes because I was sweating so badly ha!  I worked out before I went to grab lunch with my dad and put on some dry clothes only to get soaked having to run out to my car in a thunderstorm 🙈



 I talked my dad into lunch at Starbucks!!  My smoked turkey protein box was great.  I ordered the strawberry green tea to drink and it was okay.  Probably not going to order that again.



 I sent this to Dustin to show him the OOTD he was missing haha!  Isn’t my summer uniform glamorous?!  And yes, I wear my slippers even in the summer haha



 Saturday morning I went over to my sister’s house to do a 30 minute Beachbody workout–it was so tough and I was sore for at least 2 days afterward haha!  Later that night, I was her second shooter at a wedding, so you can imagine how well I slept Saturday night 😜



 Again, summer #OOTD!  I ran Tuesday morning, changed into the outfit above and went to yoga, and then stayed in that outfit in order to run a ton of errands.  I also voted in our state primary!



First, I want to give major props to women whose husbands either travel a lot for work or who are married to men in the military and have to go through deployments.  Dustin was gone on a work trip for a week and it was the longest week of my life!  I was fine during the day because I kept myself busy with friends, but I had a hard time sleeping at night while he was gone.  So I was VERY happy when he got to come home finally!  We went out on a date last night to see Adrift (GO SEE IT!!!!  AMAZING STORY!!!) and eat at PF Chang’s with dessert at Edgar’s!  And now I’ve had two great nights of sleep ha!
