I am not sure if the Zara sale has started for all countries or just Canada at the moment but I swore I was going to avoid it. Surprise, surprise I didn’t. When I got the “Zara Sale has started” notification on my phone the adrenaline kicked in.

It brings out this weirdly competitive side of me that I wasn’t aware existed until I started shopping this sale. The good news is that they kept everything that I had in my cart before the sale started, in my cart.

I am sitting here at midnight staring at a box of jello that my youngest daughter placed on my desk so that I wouldn’t forget to make it before I go to bed. So it looks like I’m making jello later.

The amount of laundry that appeared in the last 48 hours in mind boggling.

Minimalist style is having a moment this season. Not minimalism in the traditional sense of fewer things, but the visual look of minimalist with its neutral, clean lines, and tone on tone looks. This summer capsule wardrobe reflects this trend.

I personally think that minimalist is a very chic look for the summer.

It is so simple yet so perfect and easy.

I have had a monster of a headache for the last 24 hours. It seems to be finally going away but it’s not a fun way to lose a weekend. I was trying to have a little nap on the couch for a few minutes earlier this evening, but Merle was giving me a non-stop play by play of what was taking place in Minecraft which made it impossible.

So I’m just sipping tea and rewatching The New Girl while hanging out with this post.

I am doing something a bit different this week. Years ago I did a different 10 day packing list that went from day to night. It was actually one of my most popular posts then and seems to have begun to gain traction again which is weird since it is old.

I guess it is the fact that many countries are starting to open back up for travel and people are starting to research. That post was due for an update but I always put it off since I had a never-ending roster of posts that were either requested or that I wanted to finish.
