Happy Friday!! Blog post number 2 for the week coming in hot…HA! I promise to get better at this whole blog thing but summer has me wanting to spend all my time outside at the pool reading books! Ya feel me?? Anyway, enough rambling from me, here is this week’s Friday Five…
ONE. Like I said, I’ve been living in the pool lately and I freaking love it. This pool may be one my favorite things about having an apartment…LOL! That being said I think that overall apartment life is pretty great. I live on the third (highest) floor of my building and even though I walk up a million steps each and every day it’s worth it because I only have to worry about the people below me and so far they are quiet (throwing up ALL the praise hands!)! The only issue I’ve had is with UPS not wanting deliver packages to my door (loooong story) but I think I got that all sorted out now!
TWO. Another thing I love about my apartment is my balcony. I love sitting out there and enjoying the breeze, drinking a beverage and reading my books! Sophie also loves it too!!
THREE. I have been reading soooo many good books lately!! I can’t wait to share my July reads post with you because there will be some great books on there, and I’m talking actual books not just e-books or audio books. I have picked up actual books this past month and I love it!!
FOUR. I haven’t cooked much in the new place yet but I have made this Chicken Taco Soup quite a few (3+) times already and I can’t wait to share this super easy crockpot recipe on the blog next week!!
FIVE. I polled this on Instagram last night but I want your opinions too!! I have a hair appointment next week and I’m debating on staying with the blonde balayage or chopping it (not too short) and going back darker?? I have head shots in a couple of weeks so I am kind of leaning towards darker but I want to hear your opinion!! Tell me in the comments which one you like!!
And that’s it for this week’s Friday Five! I hope you had a fabulous week and an even better weekend!!
Happy Friday!!
Sounds like life’s been great for you! Congrats on getting an apartment that you really like. Hanging out either at the pool or the balcony sounds like the perfect thing to do this summer! YAAAS! I love the darker and shorter hairstyle but it’s completely up to you! Have an awesome weekend!
I recently read The High Tide Club and loved it! Reading by the pool is one of my favorite things. I like your hair both ways but I’m leaning towards darker. Those caramel highlights are so pretty!
I like the Darker Hair Color and I miss my apartment and being able to be in the pool all the time. But I also love my house as its close to parks I can walk in. Then the book you read I had seen at our local bookstore and almost picked it up and I may go back and get it this week as I also love reading and I can’t wait till you share the Soup Recipe as I love making Soups for my lunches.
It sounds like you are really loving the new apartment especially the outdoor pool and terrace. I will await this taco soup recipe it looks so good.
Our condo has a rooftop pool and I spend nearly every weekend up there!! Gotta love the pool life :) And I’m with you on the balcony too. I especially love dining on our balcony in these warm months.
I need to make more time to read. I love crockpot recipes, particularly in the summer so the house isn’t heated up more from cooking on the stove or in the oven.
Maybe it is just summer, but I am still loving the blonde. UPS can be a trip, right?? (insert eye roll)
Girl I wish I was poolside right now. The weather has been so lame here all week!
I hope you have an amazing weekend as well. I’m loving the hair color choices. Looking forward to see your new hair look next week.
How awesome must it be to have a pool – it isn’t a common thing to have over here yet something I would be such a fan of! Glad your apartment seems to be working out so well for you!
Yay for good books! One of my favorite things to do is read by the pool. We have one in the neighborhood that I like to relax at!
I could handle 3rd floor apartment living! I wouldn’t want anyone above me, that’s for sure. That pool looks fantastic, and I don’t blame you for enjoying it as much as you are.
When I was in an apartment, I LOVED my balcony too. It was the best to go out there with some books & a great drink!!
The dark har color is my favorite! I love that you can read by the pool. We have a pool and I love reading…but I have like 10 kids living here this summer – so reading is not an option! :( I am reading tons of books on Audible this summer though so that works!
It’s really awesome that you found the best apartment and that you’re having a great time! I like that it has a pool and that your view from the balcony looks amazing!
What a great week! I totally love bayalage but I love the darker hair, it looks perfect for autumn coming and such a lovely rich colour!! The new apartment looks amazing too!
Sounds like you had a relaxing week! For the hair, I like both, but I really love the darker hair the best. Maybe I’m biased, since I have dark hair. :D
I think you look great with darker hair but that’s me, I am biased with darker hair lol. While yoy spend a lot of time in pool, I am doing gardening and can’t blog as much as I’d like either.
Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! I am due for some time in the pool, especially with a good book. Thank you for sharing your Friday Five. So fun!
