Thank Gosh It’s Friday + Highlights

I’m looking forward to this weekend more than most weekends. It’s not because I’m traveling. I’m actually going to spend my first weekend of the year at home in California. I’m so looking forward to the weekend because I need a mini break. I’d be lying if I said I had a great week (you may have noticed my absence from Instagram and 2 day break from blogging). I was in a car accident and it’s a lot of work to deal with the aftermath but every person involved was uninjured, which is the most important thing! Time to regroup and move ahead! I hope everyone has a great weekend. XO
