Happy Saturday, friends!
Whew! I got home yesterday afternoon just in time to grab some Mexican food with my peeps (ironic, right?) and head to the varsity football game which was huge because it was against our biggest rivals. Today, we have sports, and then it’s OKTOBERFEST!
I hope you are having the loveliest start to your weekend. If you haven’t looked through my Pinterest boards lately, you totally should. My boards are on FIRE with fun fall and holiday content right now. It’s the perfect pairing with your Saturday morning coffee 🙂 .
Here’s a little bit of bonus fun from my cozy morning to yours.
Happy Saturday!
You guys, it’ always so fun to travel with friends because they teach you/tell you/show you so many random things that you never would have known without spending that extra time with them. Brooke was telling me about these Verb Energy Bars that her family orders and loves. She was sweet enough to share a birthday cake flavored bar with me on the way home, and it was so delicious!
You know I’m not really a “bar” person. They’re typically so grainy and leave that yucky aftertaste, but this one was super delicious. These bars are small and each one has a bit of caffeine in them. Maybe I’m the last person to hear about Verb and you’re all already enjoying them…but if not, let me assure you I thought mine was delish, and it gave me a little pick me up. I think I want to try lemon or chocolate peanut butter next. If you already love them, please share your favorite flavor!
Speaking of things I learned from friends on our trip…
…Clare and Mackenzie both told me I would love The Bear on Hulu. I was able to watch the first episode on the way home, and I am HOOKED! Now, I’m only one episode in, but so far, I really like it.
Anyone else squeal when the fall/holiday magazines start to arrive? One of my guilty pleasures in life is sitting on my patio while Andrew watches football and reading a festive magazine.
I’ve blogged about this before…but hi, my name is Shay and I ADORE a magazine.
I used to subscribe to about 20 magazines, but over the years, I’ve scaled down to about five that I get regularly. Good Housekeeping is always my favorite, but I also still receive Southern Living, New England Living, Coastal Living, and Taste of Home. I will purchase magazines at the store as I see them and feel compelled, but these are the ones that continue to show up in my mailbox each month. Right now, each and every magazine I especially devour.
The view from our hotel in Mexico this week. More pictures and deets to come, but I was SO excited about our views and rooms. Waking up to the ocean is one of my favorite things.
You guys, you know I’m obsessed with Vuori, so it shouldn’t surprise you that I’m a huge fan of THIS JUMPSUIT 🙂 . I wore it last Saturday to my kids’ games and then to run errands and then…
…I wore it yesterday on the flight home. THIS JUMPSUIT comes in a variety of colors and runs TTS (I bought XS). It was perfect for a travel day and flight! Comfy, easy to take on and off in the restroom, doesn’t wrinkle, easy to layer…love. You can find my GOLDEN GOOSE HERE.
I am such a sucker for THESE FALL NEUTRALS on sale right now!
Plus…
…SKINCARE is on sale right now too!
You guys, just as a reminder, our clients LOVE THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!
If you haven’t ever thought about the DR, what are you waiting for? Not only do they love it…
…my family does too! Our trip there this March was TRULY one of our very favorites. Look how gorgeous this is?!
Whether you’re thinking the Dominican Republic, Mexico or somewhere else, it’s been a super amazing week away, but we will be back in the office on Monday ready to help our clients with new and exciting vacations. We would love to help you too! You can reach out to use HERE for more information. We would LOVE to work with you too!
And finally…
…one of my favorite blog readers, Paula, sent this to me to see. How cute is this HOCUS POCUS LEGO HOUSE?! Agh! Forget my kids, I want to build it myself! So adorable! Thank you, Paula!!
Okay friends, I’m off for Oktoberfest! I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend! I’ll see you on Monday! xx

I agree! The only one I read. Thanks for all the fun content every day.
Kimbrough says
What do you do with your magazines once you read them? I hate to toss them but don’t love them piling up around the house, too.
Mix and Match Mama says
Different things over the years, but right now, I mostly share with my mom/friends/mother-in-law and my little girls LOVE to use them and cut out things to make collages/mood boards/etc.
Gail says
I am just curious of how you go to the bathroom with the jumpsuit on. Does it not fall to the floor? I keep thinking of getting one for travel but then I worry about using it in the bathroom on the plane or in the airport.
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s SO EASY!! I just pull it down (no zippers/snaps/buttons) just like I would if I had on a pair jeans/leggings/joggers. Super, super easy!
Kelly Anthony says
The Bear is amazing!!! I have watched and rewatched it, it is so good!!!
Mix and Match Mama says

I love the peanut butter crunch flavor!

Mix and Match Mama says

Mix and Match Mama says
I just lol! It’s so cute, right?!
Carole says
Oooh I need to check out those bars! I recently discovered Tru bars – their chocolate chip cookie bars and PB&J bars are delicious!!
Kay says
Fall music+pumpkin spice nespresso+pumpkin caramel Kringle (TJ’S)+your blog=BEST Saturday morning ever! My husband and I have been through the wringer this week with my oldest’s college applications, daughter’s starting to DRIVE and life in general. I love beginning the weekend with your happy blog! Thank you for providing so much fun and uplifting content.
And I LOVE magazines, especially during Fall and Christmas! It is such a pleasure isn’t it? Have a nice weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says

Mix and Match Mama says
You are going to LOVE it!! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of another vacation! We are so blessed by it!
Ashley says
Loved this fun Saturday post, Shay! 🙂 I need to try those Verb bars since I’m usually like you, not really a bar person because I’m usually disappointed in them even though I want to love them, haha! That Hocus Pocus lego set looks amazing, I’d definitely put that together myself even though I don’t have any kids, haha.
Have a fantastic weekend! 🙂
Make Life Marvelous
Sarah says
I’ve never heard of those verb energy bars before, but they sound so good!
Breanne Crawford says
I love verb bars! They’re the perfect kid morning pick me up. My favorite by far is chocolate chip banana bread but the s’mores and vanilla latte are good as well.
Jodi says
The chocolate sea salt verb bar is my fav. I also like the chocolate peanut butter one (the 110 cal, not 90 cak-that one is chalky). My experience with their bars is the lower sugar ones are way chalkier and the texture is very different.
Laura says
I like those verb energy bars too! The company sent some to our unit (I’m a nurse) during Covid times and we all fell in love with them. Also The Bear is so good, watching season 2. Thanks for the Saturday post – love getting an extra day!
