Work from home lunch inspiration

work from home lunch inspiration | hello fresh

Happy Tuesday. Hope you guys enjoyed my weekend wrap up post yesterday. Before I get into today’s post, I figured it’s my public duty to tell ya’ll to watch Squid Game on Netflix. We’ve had several friends tell us how good it is, so we started it this weekend. It’s pretty interesting – kind of like a very different take…

Weekend Wrap-Up +Signs you are #adulting

killens in the heights

Happy Monday! I’m starting my morning off with a cup of (you guessed it) Pumpkin Pie Spice Nespresso – with a side of about four meetings. Anyone else have more meetings since you moved to remote work? I had an equally restful and busy weekend over here. My house did not get decorated for fall, but that means it’s 100%…

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! I’m headed down my office in the Medical Center in a bit to meet one of my co-workers to help her clean out her office. We are all slowly making that transition to working from home one hundred percent of the time forever. So, I’m up early this morning trying to get through some emails. I’ve got…

Good morning and happy Monday! I’m starting my day off with an early morning meeting. I’ve got a proposal I’m working on this week, along with several other things. And, on Friday, I’m meeting one of my co-workers for lunch! It was supposed to rain in Htown this entire weekend, but luckily, we actually ended up not getting any at…

Friday Favorites – Fall-ish Things

Happy Friday, Friends. I hope your morning started off well! It’s a rainy morning here in Htown, which is one of my favorite ways to work. I’ve got a candle going, and I have a warm cup of coffee and my breakfast. That’s some greek yogurt, with blueberries and granola. Delish! I’m sitting here working on emails, and I’ve got…

Thursday Things + Self Care

I received an email today that made me pause for a brief second. The subject of the email was “Take Care of Yourself,” and it was addressed to my entire Division. You see, we have wonderful IT people who keep things running seamlessly at work. It’s a job that’s often under appreciated – and met with frustrated customers. Add in…

Skincare in your 30s

Happy Tuesday! I’ve mentioned several times now that it was my gift to myself this year to start going more regularly to get facials. Admittedly, I haven’t always taken the best care of my skin. I grew up in California, so I was out in the sun and at the beach a lot when I was growing up. And, I…

A cold front + Friday things

birdies

Happy Friday! This is Houston’s weekend forecast, and I might just go ahead and get myself my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte of the season: Speaking of pumpkin spice, I still love my Pumpkin Spice Cake Nespresso pods. They are delicious with my Pumpkin Oat Milk creamer – or with some regular oat milk that I froth in my aeroccino.…

Favorite Trader Joe’s Finds

Trader Joe's pizza items

I always love the posts where people show some of their favorite finds from Trader Joe’s. It’s one of my favorite stores (and that’s how I know I’m old – I have a favorite grocery store). I don’t do my main grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s, but they have some of my favorite specialty finds – and snacks! So, now…

Happy Monday + A Trader Joe’s Fall Favorite

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend – they really go by too fast. I had a long list of to-do’s on my list, but the essential item was a pedicure. No – really – I needed one. Ya’ll know that I started my Friday morning off with that Pumpkin Pie Spice Nespresso goodness. I found new creamer that I’m…
