Self Care and a Big Blog Update

Are you well-rested from your weekend? I had a lovely Saturday. I lathered my face with skincare products, propped my feet up to watch tennis on TV, and did absolutely no cooking or cleaning at all. I was at my mother's and never do any of that stuff anyway, but this time I called it “self-care”.

Saturday night, JD and I went with my parents to watch my niece in a play. She's the cutie in red. It was called Amelia Earhart, and the students did a great job.

As we were leaving, I asked my mom if she'd gotten teary-eyed at any part, and she said, “No. The ending wasn't a surprise.” 🙄

I did muster the energy this weekend to update some of the games. Marlene left a comment that the WordFind game was too big for her phone, and I was able to fix that issue. Then I got on a roll. Now the Just 5 Letters game has a keyboard underneath so that you can see what letters you've used. The Ladder game works correctly and the Link 4 has changed for the better.

The biggest change is with Words Galore. Instead of counting words, now it gives you more points for longer words, and keeps a tally of the top 5 scores. My cousin, PlayerOne, was at the top of the leader board, but I made it my mission to topple her!

We all do “self-care” in our own way. 🙂

I hope this week brings you an abundance of self-care, in whatever way you choose.

Today's Post

Friday's post was on bathing suits, so I thought I'd continue the theme. Tania was just at the beach. Any other lucky folks going on vacation? This post is for you:

Fun Finds

This is cute, has pockets, and comes in alot of colors. Plus, a great price!

This is giving all the Summer feels! This sweater would look great with white pants or shorts.

I bought these for my mom and she wore them to church today. So cute!

Susan left a comment on Friday's bathing suit post and asked for tankinis. I had only linked to a few because I like sets and a lot were tops only, etc. My trick is to buy several tankini tops that have black in the pattern, then wear the same black bottoms will all. This top is from the Miraclesuit brand.

This is an Amazon set, and there are lots of options. Very affordable!

I love these! Super sporty chic. 🙂

New Featured Retailers

I'm on the hunt for some new retailers to share. I love the tried-and-true brands, but I don't want to be in a style rut! Here are some retailers I don't think get enough love. 🙂

I'm officially in my kaftan era! This would be perfect for around the pool, at the beach, or on vacation.

Where are my tennis peeps? This says “Love” on the other side. There are actually lots of options, like swimmers, fruit, cherries, etc. It would an elegant way to carry your purse and lipstick to an event.

Here's a brand I'd never heard of – Spartina 449. This cape-like scarf is on sale and just $28 dollars!

They also have jewelry. I wish I'd had this necklace on my trip

to the DR.

A lovely summer cardigan in a trending color. Wouldn't it look pretty with jeans and a white tank?

I have heard of Boston Proper, but I haven't shown a single item on the blog before today. They have some nice things and aren't as expensive as some other brands. This travel dress also comes in blue.
