Extra Elle: 5 Things

It's been a busy week around here, one of those where I don't know if I'm coming or going, so I thought I'd share 5 Things! I've never done this link up before, so y'all bear with me! Here we go:

Pampering Day

Yesterday, I had a mini pampering day before going to work in the afternoon. It started off with a blow out from the Cherry Blow Dry Bar Midtown. I posted pics on my Instagram story of my Beachy Keen waves. I grabbed some coffee next door before heading to get eyelash extensions--I'll post pics and everything next week. It was a nice treat to sit and relax.

Movies + Mint

Yes, I am one of those crazy people who has to try whatever the latest Starbucks treat is. So sometime last week, I took my dog Charlie and we headed out to get one for me. While walking around I noticed they were filming a movie, which never gets old! I love looking for celebs and stuff--they are currently filming 60 something shows and movies around Atlanta. Because I'm a dork, I kept walking Charlie by the set. I was hoping they'd see him and think he's so cute he had to be in the movie. Better luck next time, Charlie! ;)

Good Weather

I feel like I've officially become an old lady talking about the weather, haha. Atlanta has two seasons: REALLY hot and not as hot. We had a dip in temps recently and it was so, so nice to be in the 60s. I stayed out with the kids for hours. I took really long walks with Charlie. It's back in the 80s, nothing crazy yet, but it was a wonderful treat while it lasted.

Soft Skin

Earlier this week I posted about my 3 faves for soft skin. I have dry skin, plus keratosis pilaris, so I am obsessed with have soft skin. Go check that post out if you haven't. But my fave thing has been the sold-out-online Scrubee from Lush. Yes, I'm still talking about it. Even the kids I nanny for have noticed my arms are softer. Go find a Lush store and grab one while you can. I'm still figuring out how to make my own.

Heading Home

I live about 5 hours away from my hometown, so I don't get to pop home every weekend to see my family. But this weekend I'll be there for Mother's Day! I can't wait! We are also celebrating my late dad's birthday, so it will be great to see everyone. If you can, be sure to give your mom an extra hug and maybe even take a pic. After losing my dad suddenly, I DO NOT take my mama or the rest of my family for granted. Trust me on this one. But back to the topic at hand--Homeward bound tonight!

So that's it for me this week! Be back Monday with a review of a new product you've heard of--I'll explain! Safe travels if you're on the road like me! And please, please enter again to win $200 from Sephora from me, as a thank you for reading my blog!

Happy Mother's Day!
