Missing the sun and sand right about now. No plans for the weekend other than finally tackling my skincare and beauty products and getting them organized. I’m also attempting a crafty little DIY to organize my jewelry, if it goes well I’ll be sure to share. Craig and I head to Vermont (again) next Tuesday to look at one of the houses we liked again, nervous but excited. Happy weekend.
