You knew I’d still produce a Friday Finisher for you, even with this slow week on the blog! I’m kind of loving these little groups of a few days off, here and there. You should do it yourself if you haven’t been already! When I do step back, it always feels so much harder to step back in…but then it can feel good once you find the groove again. A mix of emotions, but it gives you some perspective on what you want when the slow summer months are over. So if you’re still with me, and still on the internet, and still reading posts, I’ve got some good links and pins to check out as always. I just can’t not provide you guys with great content for long!
Happy Friday and enjoy the weekend sun (heatwave here in NJ!)
Wednesday: Frosty Coconut Mint Green Tea Mocktail
