Five Friday Favorites 06/03/16

Happy Friday! As you know, it’s been a crazy busy week, but I decided to take the afternoon yesterday to chill a little. So, I’m here to chat a bit. How’s your week going? I hope it’s been lovely. Aaand before we head into the weekend, let’s talk about some of the good things from this past week. I like finding all the positivity I can in regular life – even the “finals weeks” of life. Let’s do it!

• I was home for the weekend

Oh, hey, you already know this. But you don’t know how awesome it was. Granted, I did not end up doing all the things I thought I’d do. I intended to go visit my grandparents and attend my cousin’s high school graduation party, but I had a lot of work to do. A lot. Instead, I hung out at home and read Drugs for Life and did econometrics homework. Fun stuff, right? Yeah. I still got to see my parents, some teachers, and my dog. And eat tacos!

Tacos are always a good idea.

• Gel manicure

On Friday, my mom and I got manicures. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not huge on manicures because I ruin them in about 3 seconds flat. It usually goes like this: paint my nails, let ’em dry, eventually make a snack, wash my hands, wash the dishes, aaaand yep that’s a chip. This is the second gel manicure I’ve gotten, and they just don’t chip and they look nice. Like, my nails will grow too long before they chip. That’s awesome. Also, I’m not coordinated enough to do my own French manicures 😉

• ZzzQuil

I’m typing this before I’m certain it’ll work, but I’ve had some loud apartment-mate issues this week and also general finals anxiety that have combined to mean that my sleep has straight-up sucked. I still have two finals to make it through, though, and need rest to do that. So, I took ZzzQuil at about 6:00 pm yesterday, ate dinner and a snack, and went to bed by 6:50. Generally, ZzzQuil can get me about 10-12 hours of decent sleep, which is pretty awesome. Now, I generally advise living the kind of lifestyle that allows you to sleep healthy amounts without taking meds, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. I’m willing to take ZzzQuil a few times a year if I really need the sleep and am just not getting it otherwise. This is one of those times. Today, I’m going to use my restored alertness to start writing my final essay.

• Classes are over

I’m done with all the classes in the econ core classes! And my social science requirement. And it’s almost my summer. I am so endlessly excited.

• The Food Entrepreneur Summit

Sure, it’s not the perfect timing for me, but I’ve been loving watching the masterclasses and chatting with the wonderfully talented, amazingly generous participants of this event. Even if I’m not totally caught up on all the videos, they’ve been a really great way to productively decompress over this week. Nicole did an amazing job organizing the event and I’m so happy to get to experience it.

And that’s all for me for the week. Have a beautiful weekend!

What’s your go-to nail color? My toes are usually some shade of bright pink in the summer. My fingers are usually light pink or bare.

What are you loving this week?

Do you have anything on the agenda this weekend?
