Good Morning,
You'll be happy to know that I survived my 12 hours of fasting. It wasn't the absence of food that was so difficult, but I enjoy my morning cup (or two) of coffee.
The blood draw went well, although my order called for six vials and they only took five. JD said it's actual proof that a little bit of me goes a long way.
The house is coming along. My dad patiently explained to me that things tend to go more quickly when decisions are made promptly. I patiently explained to my father that it's my brother's fault.
This is how it goes: My brother/builder will show JD and me a concrete patio and ask if we like it. Then I'll ask him what else is available, which is when he sends me to the concrete plant to check out colors and finishes, then I head to Pinterest, then my brother takes us to some houses to see what other people are doing, and then..I go with his initial suggestion.
JD and I just approved the kitchen design. My brother hooked me up with a cabinet showroom. They sent back a quote. I asked for something different. We ordered a door that takes seven weeks to arrive, which, upon seeing, I realized I didn't like, and then we accepted the first quote.
I think you see my point. If my brother were more persuasive, we'd be much further ahead.

Here are the choices: the darker color for the hood, and the light for the cabinets, although the door style will be slim shaker like shown in dark. At least I think that's what we're doing. I'm 90% sure.
Now on to the next decision. I can hardly wait to see what my brother recommends so I can totally disregard his suggestion.
I hope you're making nothing but the right decisions today! And timely ones, at that.
xo,
Lisa

Today's Post
Today, I have two posts! If you're in the market for sandals or sneakers, I've made it easy to find your perfect fit.
Save or Splurge

From the Save or Splurge Archive
We have so many new folks, I thought I'd share a fave from the Save or Splurge files.

More Fun Finds
Jelly Sandals are everywhere! These are some of the cutest I've seen. Love the hint of sparkle.

They have great reviews. Doesn't Himalayan Cashmere sound like it will smell wonderful? Better than dog, I'm guessing.

This looks cool and comfy and is just $29 dollars!
Another favorite is one I linked previously. I ordered it, and it came in yesterday. Love it!
The sale at Wayfair continues! Anyone else about to expire from the heat?! I need one of these cooling towers in the office for when I'm trying to sleep.

JD and I made a quick trip to have lunch with Rachel, and she was rocking some new glasses. She spends a lot of time studying staring at screens and she swears she's had better sleep since buying these.
Super Stretch Twill with Patch Pockets. Also available in black and olive.
Chic Athleisure for hot days! The top is here, and the shorts are here.
My Style – Farm Rio Sale
Farm Rio has a very distinctive, bold and feminine look. I don't often see their pieces on sale, but all of these are!

Living Well Tip of the Day
Use the "Wall-Sit Test" for Leg Vitality
The 30-Second Strength Check: Find a clear patch of wall, lean your back against it, and slide down until your knees are bent at a comfortable angle (aiming for a gentle slope, like sitting in a chair). Hold yourself there for just 20 to 30 seconds, keeping your breathing smooth and steady.
Why it works: This simple, static hold—called an isometric exercise—is fantastic for building lower-body stability without putting stress or impact on your joints. It fires up the quadriceps (the large muscles on the front of your thighs), which are the primary protectors of your knees. Keeping these muscles strong makes getting up from chairs, walking up hills, and staying active feel entirely effortless.
