Weekend Highlights

I had a wonderful weekend -- dinner and drinks for a friend's birthday on Friday night, a lot of productiveness on Saturday around the house and in terms of getting homework done, and had a wonderful Easter meal at my sister in law's house. Here are some images of my favorite parts of this weekend:


My mother in law gave me some paperwhite bulbs in February -- I recently planted them and I swear they have been growing at least an inch per day. I love the touch of green they add to my window sill.



New lipstick -- Covergirl Enchantress {LOVE!!!} and accessories worn on Friday night. I only recently discovered the wonders of lipstick. Typically the most adventurous I get is tinted Burt's Bee's lip gloss. However, for our Christmas Card photos last year I, on a whim, picked up a redish-orange lipstick and got SO many compliments. I now LOVE lipstick because of how dramatic it can make an otherwise simple outfit. I also feel that a bold lipstick with an otherwise neutral outfit makes you look more "put together."


The runner that has been featured on my family's table every Easter for as long as I can remember. My Mom gave it to me a few years ago and I love it because it reminds me of childhood.



What remains of the huge stack of personal sized blueberry pies that I contributed to the Easter dinner. {Basic recipe can be found here}


Trying to keep my parent's fig tree alive while they are on vacation in Cuba for three weeks!

This weekend we also made it through our third bag of starburst jelly beans, mini cadbury eggs, and a lindt chocolate bunny. All in all, not a bad weekend!  : )
