Virtual Postcard Game and Weekend Reads

Happy Friday everyone!  If you’ve been following along in my stories, we’ve been virtually traveling the world through my virtual postcard game this week.

I asked all of you to submit your favorite travel photos from anywhere in the world and I’ve been re-sharing it on Instagram so that others can enjoy.  This is a really simple thing, but something that can replicate between family and friends trying to connect.  Sharing all of the submitted pics below.

The sale of the week is definitely the Sephora sale.  It only happens twice a year, so this is when I try to stock up on all the things I’ll need in the coming months.  I’m sharing a HUGE list of picks below.

You can virtually travel the world by taking a virtual train ride through some of the world’s most beautiful spots.

My goal this week was to be active every day.  My reward: these $26 bright workout leggings!

Planning on making this Broccoli Bolognese this weekend with our CSA broccoli.

I’ve recently discovered this podcast and am really enjoying it.  Great for fans of “How I Built This.”

Obsessing over this $50 duvet cover.

I desperately need this: 10 braided hairstyles for beginners.  I am a TERRIBLE braider.

Portland friends…many of the bars and restaurants are offering cocktail mixers to whip up recipes at home.

And more and more of Portland marquee restaurants are now offering takeout.

I have been in search of the perfect bath towel for a very long time.  Why are so many of them so short?!  Might try a few of these top rated towels during quarantine.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people rave about these $35 Amazon sheets, so I just ordered them to see if they live up to the hype.

One of the boxes I still need to check-off on my Coronavirus activities list is make a coffee shop coffee at home.  Here’s some Starbucks copycat recipes to try.

Watched Too Hot to Handle?  One of the couples say they’re already looking at rings.  LOL.

A story of true love during quarantine.  SO cute!

And now for MAJOR sale picks.  The sale of the week is definitely Sephora’s spring sale.  They only do this a handful of times during the year.  It’s a great time to stock up on all your favorites that you’re low on or try something new you’ve been eyeing.

Below I’ve shared my tried and true favorites in skincare, makeup and hair as well as the products I’m thinking about buying and trying.
