FINAL-TheWeekinReview4

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.

Homemade trail mix with pecans, pistachios, sesame sticks & more - recipe by @waitingonmartha

I’m a snacker.  In fact, I never like to have the stuff around in the house because I will devour it all in one sitting.  I kid you not.  So when I do get the craving for that salty-crunchy-sweet-and-maybe-spicy bite, I like to take the homemade route, and whip up a batch of trail mix. 

Last Christmas, you remember me loving on Georgia-grown Schermer Pecans.  And I love them looong after the holidays are done.  For my homemade trail mix, I use both their plain pecans and cinnamon pecans, along with salty pistachios and crispy sesame sticks.  To add a chewy, fruity punch, I mix in sweetened dried cranberries and some orange peels.  But THE secret, my friends, is all in the fresh OJ and egg whites.  It coats the trail mix, allowing the brown sugar, salt and chile pepper to cling to it all in the best, best way. I mean my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Of course, the beauty with trail mix is you can add anything you heart desires.  Though, I do highly, highly recommend the Schermer Pecans with whatever you do choose…they’re divine!  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

Packed For A Picnic

A perfect picnic in the park A kite in the park What to pack on a picnicPacking for a picnic: don't forget your picnic basket and turkish towelLet's go fly a kiteSummer entertaining ideas in the park Picnic Season A picnic in the park (with games of course)A perfect picnic How to pack for a picnicFly a kite Picnic season

One of my absolute favorite things to do all warm weather season is take advantage of Atlanta’s gorgeous green, hilly parks and pack a picnic with friends.  I do it so often that in my humble opinion I’ve become somewhat a master of the picnic pack.  In fact, I’d say I’ve got it down to an art form at this point. 
 
First when packing a picnic, keep the menu light, seasonal and simple.  I opt for food that is easy to transport and can be eaten with minimal utensils, like a cheese platter and my fresh grilled corn salad (recipe coming Wednesday of this week).  And I love bringing melamine platters and trays such as these to serve drinks on because the ground tends to not be the most even of surfaces.  Don’t forget to factor in the the heat; whenever entertaining in the hot summer sun, I always use festive reusable ice cubes to keep drinks cool without watering them down.  And what’s a picnic without the necessities: soft, light blankets and a great picnic basket, of course.

Lastly, don’t forget to pack a little entertainment and outdoor games.  Paddleball, horseshoe and a classic kite will provide hours of play and are great for both kids and adults alike.  Turns out, I’m pretty skilled at the art of paddleball, kite flying not so much.  Tell me Loves, are you planning to pack a picnic this summer?  Truly, MKR
