#WEEKENDVIBES

'twas a good weekend full of friends and fun.

Ello mates! It's been quite some time since I last posted a #weekendvibes. This weekend was much needed after a long week of dealing with work, events, cramps - all while recovering from a head cold. Yuck. By the time Friday morning rolled around I was ready for some R&R!

As Friday night approached I was excited to get off work to meet up with some old friends. We were celebrating my college best friend Johnny's birthday and decided to meet up at Highland Park Bowl for drinks and bowling. It was my second time at Highland Park Bowl and although the neighborhood is a bit questionable, the inside of the bowling alley is such a vibe. If you haven't been, I highly recommend checking it out!

Saturday morning came around quick and for some reason I found myself up at 6am scrolling through the gram. I honestly hate that I wake up and look at that app sometimes. After wasting about an hour of my time envying my friends' timelines I decided to get up and be productive. I cleaned my room and got some laundry done.

Next thing I knew it was just about time to hit the beach with my two best friends. We packed up the car, grabbed some snacks and booze, then headed out to our favorite spot in Malibu (which permits drinking on the beach, we follow rules over here..sometimes).

Saturday night rolled around and we ordered a Lyft to head out to a spot off Sunset Blvd that Chanise recommended. Adults Only was the name of the bar and it was also such a vibe. The DJ played so many throwback songs and as the night got longer he started to spin some new joints.

My favorite part of the night was watching Million Dollar Baby play in the background.I don't know why, but for some reason I was super tired and just not in the mood for dancing or much of anything Saturday night. I know I looked like a total bore and wall flower (couch flower, I sat all night, LOL) but I was okay with it. My friends had fun and I was out of the house so it was a plus.

Often times I get overwhelmed on the weekends. Yes, it's a few days off; but there's also SOO MUCH that needs to be done during that time off. Laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, meal prepping, relaxing, church, oh and hanging out with friends and family.

Somehow I managed to get to a majority of those things but in the back of my head I still feel like I'm running out of time. To keep myself from getting overwhelmed and feeling bad I think it's important to keep in prospective what really matters. For me, that's making memories by spending time with the people I love. & luckily, I got to do that this weekend.

Til next time,
