Happy Friday!!!!!
Is that a Friday quote or what?! Speaking of which, today, I posted this…
…our Easy Marg recipe in case your Friday needs them too. I posted this recipe and video on Stories a few weeks ago but wanted you to have it too. Super easy!!
Today, I have my little list of weekly favorites and, as always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea 🙂 .
Happy Friday!! xx
I feel like Sue and I should be friends 😉 .
Well, this had to be my first favorite for the week…
…on Monday, the construction for the new Mix and Match Travel Agency office began!!
I was GIDDY!!!!
After 3.5 years of praying, planning, preparing, I was kind of shocked when they actually showed up. Ha! I opened the door to take Yankee for a walk, and they were there to start. It made my day/week/year…it made me so excited! As much as I love my cozy laundry room, I’m really excited to have a legit space to work. This is going to take several months to build, but as soon as I have some pics, I’ll post them so you can follow along (this space will be added on to our existing house). I’m so pumped!!
Speaking of pumped…
…I know you’re looking at my s’more here, but look more closely…do you see my shoes?!?!
Um, I’m in love with these Birkenstocks!
I haven’t worn Birkenstocks since I was in the 8th grade, but DANG, they’re so comfortable!l They fit so perfectly, actually give me a little arch support and are great for all of the outside stuff we do. I bought them in white but they come in over 20 different colors for both men and women. LOVE!
I mean…someone could use a pedicure, but try and focus on the shoes instead of that 😉 .
I have been celebrating MAY all month long with little giveaways and that has been my favorite of mine!
Each week on Instagram, I’m giving away something you would want to take with you on a trip. So far, I’ve given away a Kindle, Airpods and this week…
…Tom & Sheri’s Iron in a Bottle 🙂 . We don’t go anywhere without this stuff in our bags!!
I have two more weeks of giveaways before…
…our 31 Days of Getaways ends and then, I’ll have our sixth and final HUGE giveaway!
These first few are Instagram only, but don’t worry, if you’re not on Instagram, the final one (that’s huge!) will have other ways to enter.
What I love most about sharing fun finds with you ladies is that you turn around and share them with me!! Last week, I told you about the detangler and the thermal spray that I love and well, two of you told me about this…
…when I saw that it was “coconut”, I immediately bought it because…you know that word is like “pumpkin” over here. I see it, I buy it. Ha!
Have any of you used this? It smells so amazing!!! I’ve only had it about four days, but so far, I have just spritzed it on my wet hair as a leave in conditioner and then before I swam earlier this week, I sprayed some on my dry hair to help with the chlorine. Win, win!
Okay friends, here’s hoping you have a wonderful weekend!! I’ll see you back here on Monday! xo
Beth Knecht says
So excited for you to have an office! I’m sure a bigger area is much needed!
Nicole says
What size did you get in the shoes? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
8-8.5 🙂
Erika Slaughter says
I can’t wait to see the new office!!! So excited for you!! ????
Heather Green says
Birkenstocks are the best!! We live in Germany and they are my favorite travel shoes. I have walked all day and a few miles in mine and my feet never hurt. I own a few styles.
Mix and Match Mama says
They have such great arch support! I had forgotten that (from the 8th grade 😉 )!
CATHY says
I love the arch support I use one of my pairs as “slippers/house shoes” all summer when it is too warm for actual slippers.
Rachel says
I just purchased the biolage spray. Amazon is running a buy 2 get 1 50% off promotion on it!! I’m hoping it’ll help me and my girls hair with all the pool activity starting up! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s crazy good!! Yay! And yes, I think if you spray it every time, you will see a big difference.
Andrea says
Welcome to the Birkenstock club. It’s comfy here. 😉 hahaha
Mix and Match Mama says
Um, why haven’t I listened to you sooner?!
Sheaffer Sims says
Coconut Infusion? Sounds like a drink that I need.
Mix and Match Mama says
I just LOL!
Ranisa Brletich says
Speaking of things you should try….I have been on the hunt for shampoo and conditioner for YEARS. I like Morocanoil the best overall but I would always get split ends really bad with it. I would have to keep a short hair style. I have a friend that recommended Function of Beauty. You have to fill out a hair quiz online and they custom make and ship it to you. It’s amazing. I recommend the add on hair mask and leave-in conditioner. I now have soft, shiny hair that feels stronger and healthier.
Casey says
Ok so this is a random question but…what do you use as far as skin care for the body? Wash, moisturizer, etc… I am desperately looking for something good. i have dry skin and can’t find anything that works. You skin is always glowing!! I’ve searched the blog, but can’t find anything and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a post or two!! Thanks so much and Happy Friday!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve been using the body wash that goes with the Bum Bum cream I love so much at Sephora! There is a wash that smells great and works really well that complements it!
TriciaKW says
Hi Shay!
Can you link the body wash, I can’t seem to find it?!
As always, thank you for your positivity and transparency, always such a bright spot in my day!
Mix and Match Mama says

Shay-there was one time, a long time ago that you told us about Keune shampoo. At that time, I placed an order but as you know, it’s often out of stock. So, last week!, a bottle arrived. (Whaaaaaaaat?) It was so funny. I was really excited and tried it and my hair fell SO FLAT it was crazy. Well, a couple days later, another bottle arrived and I realized I had been using the conditioner instead of shampoo-lol! I LOVE it now that I’m using the shampoo as shampoo. I would love to hear any of your IT Cosmetics reviews once you’ve tried some new things from their site. Congrats on the new office and have a great weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh, Julie! That is totally something I would do too!!!
Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says

Amber says
I am so happy for you and excited to follow along with the construction! I loved your outfits this week! Can you post where you got your small necklaces from that you have been wearing lately? Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re mostly all Gorgjana from Nordstrom!
Patrice says
So excited for you to get your new office!
Will Erika work there too or is it just for you?
Mix and Match Mama says
She will mostly still work out of her house, but now, we’ll have a dedicated space for office meetings and in person client appointments.
Jaimie says
Yay! So glad you’re liking the coconut spray so far! It’s been a game changer for me!
Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says
I haven’t had Birkenstocks since the 8th grade either but I do remember them being so comfy!

Francesca says
I have those same Birkenstock’s but in navy with a cork footbed. I wear them EVERYWHERE.
Mix and Match Mama says
Navy would be a great second color for me!
Amy A says
They have these if you are local to McKinney at Pumps on the square if you would like to support local businesses. Either $34 or $44
Mix and Match Mama says
I didn’t know that! I love Pumps!!
Emily says
Do you ever notice your leave in products causing discoloration on clothes, sheets, etc? I had a big problem with that years ago so have been afraid to try any since then.
I want to love Birkenstocks so much but I have big feet (size 11) and they make me look like the jolly green giant when I wear them. The fact the sandal surrounds your foot unlike other sandals is just not flattering the bigger they get.
Mix and Match Mama says
No, I haven’t! Our sheets are light too, so I think I would notice if there was discoloration. That’s so weird it happened to you! And listen, I agree about the Birks not being flattering. I don’t think they’re flattering on my feet either…comfy and practical, YES! Super flattering? Probably not 😉 .
Emily says
Oh I think they look good on your foot! I was saying they aren’t flattering for me!! I may have to try them one more time…
Liza Galloway says
Is your yellow watch band the lemon cream from the apple website? Yours looks so much brighter than the one on the website.
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought mine 2 or 3 years ago…and I do believe it was called “lemon” but I don’t know if it’s the same or not?
Kathy says
Any good hair perfume suggestions. Not one that’s smells like flowers. Coconut, cotton candy, some with these types of scents.
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!! Drybar’s Sparkling Soda! You’ll love it! LOVE.IT!
nayeon says
LOVE the jean shorts you’re wearing on the trampoline. Where did you snag those?
Mix and Match Mama says
