5 Things I'm Loving Right Now ♥

  • Friday, March 25, 2016

Hooray & happy Friday everybody! Although Saturday is my favorite day of the week, there's something so satisfactory about Fridays. It's the end of something stressful & the beginning of something exciting — the opportunity to sleep in or run all the errands you've been wanting to complete. Unless you work weekends of course. That's another story. Aside from weekends, here's what I'm loving right now:

san juan capistrano

San Juan Capistrano

If you recall, I went on a short trip to San Clemente last week & during the vacation, we took a brief trip to San Juan Capistrano. By brief, I mean literally one hour. We checked out the Mission San Juan Capistrano gift shop & that's about it, but it's beautiful.

farmer's market

Farmer's Market

I don't head to farmer's market as often as I would like or as often as I should, for that matter. I did a bit of research & there are several markets in a short vicinity from me, so no more excuses! Anyhoo, I bought some mouthwateringly delicious garlic rosemary bread, cranberry orange loaf, & some dried fruit. Don't mind if I do.

st. patrick's day

St. Patrick's Day

This is the second year in a row I spent St. Patrick's Day out with my girlfriend. Apparently it's a tradition now. We went to Aztec Brewery in Vista & grabbed a flight of tasters. Absolutely no green beer for us. We did have some green jellybeans & had fun trying to guess the flavors. Our favorite? Pear.

tequila

This Sign

Let's be real. There's no way I could resist this sign. I'm a huge fan of cartoons & cute characters, so it's no surprise that this one caught my eye. Tequila isn't for me but this sign is. I hope you get a little bit of joy from it too.

spring blooms

Spring Blooms

Can you believe that spring is here? It's definitely one of my favorite times of the year. The beautiful & prevalent blooms are simply irresistible. I've been noticing them everywhere — on the side of the highway, during a hike, & even in the parking lot when I went to get an oil change.

What are you loving right now? Anything from my list? :]

  5. Farmers Markets are so fun to shop in, I always feel so healthy after leaving with anything from the market! I also love the flowers, spring is blooming and it's so exciting! So many new opportunities on the way and the warm weather definitely helps. Hope you have a lovely weekend, and a very happy Easter love!

  9. Farmer's markets are the best! Especially because you're supporting local AND you get the freshest food possible. I definitely need to hit one up soon.
    Good idea to go for a beer tasting on St.Patty's ;)

    ReplyDelete

  38. Summer?! I want to enjoy the slight briskness of spring first! Where are you from, Katie? :]

    ReplyDelete

  40. When does the blooming start where you're from? How was the farmer's market experience? :]

    ReplyDelete

  41. Oh yes, absolutely! You hit the nail on the head with that one. The beer (& jellybean) tasting was fun for sure. :]

    ReplyDelete

  42. Some of the farmer's markets near me are held in the middle of the week, so it makes it difficult to attend. :]

    ReplyDelete

  43. I do 5 Things I'm Loving every other Friday & encourage you to do it too; it's nice to take a step back & reflect on the joys of life. :]

  45. Cheese?!! I have to keep my eye out for cheese at the next market. I'm missing out. I absolutely relate; I'm already missing the cool, cloudy days. It's sunny in San Diego 364.5 days out of the year it would seem. :]

    ReplyDelete

  46. It love keeping my eyes open for the colorful blooms everywhere. Have a great week. :]
