The Week in Review // 4

1 // There is a pizza vending machine. We repeat, there is a pizza vending machine. 

2 // It’s time to recognize the cost of people-pleasing, and it’s time to say goodbye to that toxic best friend.  Start with a nonjudgemental bestie instead, and then pull the rest of these people close.

3 // Back-to-school days are closer than you think (and it’s already happened for Georgia public schools!).  Shop our  20% Off Back-to-School Sale  on all desk accessories in the shop, this weekend only.  Use code STOCKUP at checkout. 

4 // I’ve had a great time cooking with my spiralizer this summer! I’m excited to try this fresh, crunchy salad with tangled roots. 

5 // Seth Rogan channeling Drake at the end of this lip sync battle is kinda amazing. 

6 // Explaining to your parents how you make money as a freelancer neverrrr gets easier.  Check out these other things only freelancers would know. 

7 // MKR has officially joined the Kayla Itsines BBG workout train.  With a medicine ball, jump rope and dumb bell weights officially ordered, she’s ready to see results from this super popular HIIT plan. 

8 // Speaking of workouts, I’m terrible about keeping up with workouts when I’m traveling (and I’ll be on the road next week).  Here’s a full-body workout I could actually get myself to try. It seems like the perfect combination of all of my favorite classes on ClassPass.  

9 // We’ve always said that this is the must-have decor item that every home should have, and this roundup made us even more convinced. 

10 // You can totally visit all of the locations shot in Netflix’s Stranger Things in Georgia! #GeekingOut

11 // “Technology has made it easier than ever to connect and communicate with customers at scale. However, speed and efficiency are often mistaken for quality and authenticity. I believe that going forward, businesses must find a way to strike a delicate balance between this technology-enabled efficiency and old-school authenticity to stand out from the crowd.” No wiser words have been said.  The entire team was inspired this week by what first-time CEO and startup founder Chris Myers says about the lost art of the Maître d. 

12 // With fall around the corner (though I am in denial that August is already halfway through), I’m dreaming of a great camel suede skirt. Currently loving these high-low options here (50% off at least!) and here.  I’m just hoping I can look as effortlessly cool as Lucy Williams looks in hers.

13 // We’re all Team-USA over here, and we’re OBSESSED with the US Women’s Gymnastics team and of course, Michael Phelps.  And if you’ve heard Leslie Jones hilariously commentate on the Olympics, you’ll agree she deserves this trip to Rio!  So, so, so good.
