Stop & Smell the Roses Vlog: Week 14, Vol. 7

I was so sad last Wednesday because I wasn't able to link-up with Mandy over at House of Rose for the weekly Stop & Smell the Roses post! :( First of all, I was scheduled to blog about the book review, and second, I was traveling back to Charlotte from a work trip. So, although I had great intentions of filming it a little later that night and posting it a bit later, it just didn't happen.

BUT, I'm back this week...

 
So here's what I'm smiling about:

I mean, come on YouTube, can't a girl get some better thumbnail options?! Hehe :P

Here's a close-up view of the necklace:

The top and middle stones are white, the bottom three are a pale pink - from The Blue Door Boutique
I don't think they still have it in stock, but I think they also have some other versions of this necklace at Bridier Baubles (great stuff)

What are you smiling about this week, when you "stop & smell the roses"? 
If you want to share, link-up &...


THANKS for hosting Mandy!!

      Yeah you do! :) I've found it in a few different colors too on various websites. I am just obsessed with all of these fun statement necklaces! SO glad we got to hang out a little bit on Sunday, it was great to see you & chat blogs for awhile. Wish I lived closer, we'd hang out more for sure. Have a great week & keep updating everyone on the house progress!!

    I am so glad that I got to see you at Crossfit this past weekend! Not to mention that you rocked the work out! I wish you lived closer so you could workout more often with us! So glad you had a wonderful trip back home. I know how hard it must have been and I was praying that you were surrounded by love while you were here! Sounds like you were! YAY!

      Thanks girl - I am SO glad I got to see you, and I wish I was closer too so that we could hang out & work out together more. I appreciate the prayers so much...I knew it was gonna be a 'mixed feelings' kind of trip, but I did have a good time and enjoyed seeing everyone so much! :)

    I live about 1000 miles from home and it's always nice to get back and visit. Glad you had a great time! And that necklace is awesome!

      It's so hard sometimes to be so far away, isn't it? But it makes going back to visit that much better...you cherish every minute you can get! :) Thanks and thanks!!

      I don't think I did...my part for my bangs might be a little further over...and this was VERY soon after I got ready (so maybe it's that "fresh, just got ready" look, hehe)...but thanks! I tend to go back and forth between good hair days & bad ones! :P

    I'm so happy you got to spend some time in your hometown this weekend...although you know I'm always 100% jealous that your new "home" is my home sweet home!! Sigh. Also- super jealous that you and Mandy got to CrossFit together!

      Thanks girl, it's always nice to go home for a visit, but after a few days, I'm definitely ready to head back. :) Mandy kicked some butt, Crossfit is no joke, hehe :P

    I am so jealous that you and Mandy got to hang out. It would be so fun to hit CrossFit with you two (although I would totally not be able to hang)! Loving the cute necklace as well!

      Thanks girl! We had a blast, but I was so worn out afterwards. I'm really getting into Crossfit though, it's such a good workout...and believe me, anyone can do it!

    I totally admire you ladies with your Crossfit. I am such a wuss...I don't know if I could handle it!! And I am loving your necklace!! I think I need to start following you in Instagram if you are posting cute stuff like this all the time. Although, that might not be good for my late night online shopping habits. Ha! Great vlog this week!

    Hey girl!

    This is my first time stopping by... And it's totally late but I had to watch your vlog after following you on Instagram today. :)

    So glad that you had a good trip home! I will be praying for you - so sorry to hear about your mom passing away.

    Also loving the necklace... You are so pretty!

    Hope you have a great weekend. :)

      Aww, thanks girl, you are so sweet! :) So glad you're following me on Instagram and checking out my vlog & blog. Going home was really nice...thanks for the prayers, the past 6 months have been so hard without her. But, life just keeps going & I'm doing the best I can :) Hope you have a great weekend too!! <3
