I hope you all have had a great week!
Today I am linking up with April, Natasha, and Christina; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Five on Friday, Oh Hey Friday!, and Friday Favorites.
ONE: Back to Topsail this weekend! With the Honor Roll Designs crew and our little boys! Thank you to our awesome employee/brother-in-law, Seth, for holding down the fort while we’re gone!
Last year we took a big trip to the Caribbean, but with babies on the way for both of us, we at least wanted to fit in one weekend away together before the newborn stage. Love these 3 people so much!
TWO: I posted 2 new recipes this week: Sparkling Pineapple Mint Meyer Lemonade and Apple Rosemary Grilled Pork Tenderloin. If you missed them, you should check them out! They are both perfect for entertaining.
THREE: Self-tanner review! I posted about the Fake Bake Flawless tanning system a few weeks ago. (The link takes you to a seller on Amazon…Prime eligible and only $15!). You can also find it here and probably find a discount code, if you aren’t a fan of Amazon.
I used it once after I bought it and immediately loved it. Then I used it again this week, and I am still loving it. If you’re looking for an inexpensive, at-home tan, this is the way to go! Without a doubt. It comes with the mitt, so don’t worry about getting it all over your hands! I do have to say – this time I put on clothes and got in bed soon after applying…I woke up with a streak on my arm and my leg, BUT, the streaks came right off with a quick rinse in the shower. Next time I will be sure to let it completely like I did the first time. And it is washable from your sheets and clothes.
FOUR: If you’re in an area, such as Charlotte, Fort Mill, Charleston or Nashville, with a Juice Bar, I highly recommend trying it! Last week I got their Sweet Greens juice, and it is unbelievably good – and healthy! And I really am not a big green juice person. If this spot was closer to my neighborhood, I might be there every day. Juice > Starbucks…yeah?!
By the way, my aunt and my mom introduced me to Essie Ladylike (on my nails in the picture above) and it is definitely on my to-purchase list.
FIVE: Goals for this weekend. Yes, yes, and yes! (source + a great instagram account to follow)
Happy weekend to you all! Thank you for visiting this random space of mine that I enjoy so much! I love and appreciate all of the comments and feedback and friendships made from blogging.

I love your sunglasses Lindsay, I have been looking for another pair! Would you mind sharing where you got these? Have fun in Topsail, I haven’t been there since I was a teenager, which seems like a million years ago, lol ????

Erin, I’m sorry I didn’t answer your question! My sunglasses in those photos are really old ones from Marshall’s, but I believe they are Cole Haan brand.
Caitlin Williams says
The juice looks delicious! I have been in the market for a new self-tanner. I may have to try the Fake bake! Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
sevenlayercharlotte says
Thank you for commenting, Caitlin! Go for it! It’s a good one.
Megan says
Oh how your posts always make me want to throw a party! That meal sounds delicious and I feel like I can just taste that drink!!
sevenlayercharlotte says
Girl, I always want to throw parties. Ha! It gets my budget in trouble sometimes. 😉 I am planning to make the drink again soon – we loved it!
