Monday Musings

This post contains affiliate links.

Happy Monday! I have felt totally off my blog game lately but now I’m getting back into it! I can’t believe it’s already July!! I hope everyone out there had a Happy Fourth of July!! I and to work so it was just another day for me. #HospitalLife

4th-of-July

My vacation is coming up at the end of the month and I couldn’t be more excited! Actually the correct word to use might just be overwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, I am super excited to road trip it with my bestie all up and down the east coast but my OCD control planner inner self is really wanting to plan every minute and then at the same time I just want to have a very relaxing vacation and not feel rushed to do anything. I’m a total weirdo.

I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge last week-ish. I’m currently on day nine so the Cleanse phase is almost over…hallelujah and praise Jesus for no more fiber drink! I can honestly say that eating “clean” hasn’t really been all that bad. I have to eat something every three hours so it feels like I am constantly eating. I am also drinking tons of water so I feel like half of my day is spent in the bathroom, LOL! Confession- I really only wanted to do the 10 Day Cleanse because I didn’t think I would last the whole 24 days but a few days in I decided to buck up and order the rest of the products and just do the whole thing. I can do it!!

I posted this pic on Instagram last week…

…and then I never told you where I got the shirt from…bad Ricci! I got this adorable monogrammed baseball tee from Southern Trademark on Etsy. It was only $19 and $24 shipped. It’s lightweight and perfect for a hot summer day. Go get you one! *not sponsored in any way at all, I promise!

Here’s a full pic of the shirt from the Etsy shop-

It’s just too cute for words!

I don’t know about you but I crushed the new season of Orange is the New Black when it came out and I currently have a huge girl crush on Ruby Rose. She seems like such a bad ass and she loves her dogs. Also- I would totally rock her haircut if I could get away with it.

Princess Charlotte got christened this past weekend. I may or may not have phone stalked Google waiting on pic updates…lol! I can’t wait for the official portraits to be revealed, Prince George’s portraits were adorable from his christening.

Also- I can’t end this post without saying something about the US Women’s Soccer Team…can I get a WOOHOO for the USA winning the Women’s World Cup Sunday night?? WOOHOO!! GO TEAM USA!!

    I’m curious to hear how the Advocare Challege works for you. I tried it a few years ago but I didn’t really stick with it too well! If it works well for you I may have to give it another shot!

    Love the shirt. It really looks good on you. Don’t worry, we’ve all done that thing where we post a pic and then realize there was something in the pic that we hadn’t reviewed yet. I know how that feels!

    I’m a bit lost on The Orange is The New Black series. I’m not big on watching television.

    I am so proud of the US women’s soccer team. Soccer is my favorite sport and I’m so happy to see all the advancements it has come in the professional area. I was playing a few years ago when I was forced to quit because of my back. I miss it so much. :(

    I did Advocare eons ago when they first started and had about 50 reps and we were all in the same state. LOL They had about 5 products and I loved them all. They are really a great company with awesome products.
