The Weekend Guide

November 4, 2016 by jessica 3 Comments

The Weekend Guide 11.04.16

Happy Friday! It’s been entirely too long since I’ve blogged regularly, much less put together “The Weekend Guide” for your perusal. As usual, September and October were two stress-filled months at work that left me with little personal time and the last thing I wanted to do during those fleeting moments was sit in front of a computer! Happily, though, that’s behind me and our little getaway to Kentucky and Tennessee left me refreshed and eager to dive back into the blog.

EAT
Airline food gets a bad rap, but it’s not all terrible. Learn more from an in-flight dining critic who has a surprisingly captivating Instagram feed of his own mile-high dining experiences.

VOTE
Election Day on Nov. 8 is fast approaching! Make sure you’re prepared with the location of your polling place and what will be on your ballot.

STOP
The word fiancé is falling out of vogue with Millennials.

LEARN
Kate Spade’s Cameron Street collection quickly became a huge success when it debuted earlier this year. The brand is focusing on the collection’s popularity this holiday season with more inventory and accessories like interchangeable straps to personalize the handbags. (Personally, the last thing I need is a new purse, but I’ve considered this strap to add a little pep to my black bucket bag. Although, I’ll probably go with this Rebecca Minkoff option instead.)

SWIPE
I’d love to live in a world of cashless transactions and there’s a few countries already on their way to making that a reality.

SIP
With a combination of gin, grapefruit, and maraschino, this 1930s-inspired cocktail is on my must-sip list for the weekend. Cheers!

SHOP THESE SALES
Spend $40 at Bauble Bar and get a free choker.
Cozy up this winter with Mongolian lamb pillows now 30% off until Monday.

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
