Oh my gosh - we've made it to a three-day weekend! I'm so excited that Monday is Labor Day and we are off work. We don't have an exorbitant amount of things on our to-do list so this weekend should be a great time to catch up on some fun things, as well as do a little relaxing. Let's kick it off with my five for this week ~
1. National Forgiveness Day
Today is a day we should all take a minute to celebrate - it's National Forgiveness Day. It's a day dedicated to embracing healing, understanding, and unity by encouraging forgiveness and fostering empathy. Who couldn't benefit from a little bit of that!
2. The Breakaway
Jennifer Weiner's newest book was released this week! I've loved all the books I've read written by her and am excited to dive into this one. Here's the summary from Amazon ~
Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True, she still has gig jobs instead of a career, and the apartment where she’s lived since college still looks like she’s just moved in. But she’s got good friends, her bike, and her bicycling club in Philadelphia. She’s at peace with her plus-size body—at least, most of the time—and she’s on track to marry Mark Medoff, her childhood summer sweetheart, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend. Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp Golden Hills, when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark, it feels like the happy ending she’s always wanted.
Yet Abby can’t escape the feeling that something isn’t right...or the memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously. When Abby gets a last-minute invitation to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls, she’s happy to have time away from Mark, a chance to reflect and make up her mind.
But things get complicated fast. First, Abby spots a familiar face in the group—Sebastian, the one-night stand she thought she’d never see again. Sebastian is a serial dater who lives a hundred miles away. In spite of their undeniable chemistry, Abby is determined to keep her distance. Then there’s a surprise last-minute addition to the trip: her mother, Eileen, the woman Abby blames for a lifetime of body shaming and insecurities she’s still trying to undo.
Over two weeks and more than seven hundred miles, strangers become friends, hidden truths come to light, a teenage girl with a secret unites the riders in unexpected ways...and Abby is forced to reconsider everything she believes about herself, her mother, and the nature of love.
3. Lifestride Shoe Sale
There are a ton of sales out there this weekend, but one I'm super excited about is the one Lifestride is having. Right now you can get 25% off sitewide and free shipping. I bought a pair of hot pint espadrilles earlier in the summer and literally every single time I wear them I get compliments. They are also so, so comfortable! They are are sale right now and I'm going to pick up another pair (or two) in another color. Grab a few pairs for yourself while they are on sale!
If you read my post on my fall goals, you know that one of the things on the list is to clean and purge my closet. That reminded me to restock the sachets I love having in there. These come with a hook to make hanging on the closet rack easy or you can use without the hook and pop in a drawer. I've also used them as goody bag items for girls' weekend. Love them!
Okay - let's get out there and enjoy the weekend! See you back here soon!
Oh that last meme had me cracking up! Enjoy your 3 day weekend.
