Fav Shorts for Summer

I love summer. & I love summer clothes. I wish I could wear shorts every day of the week, but its probably not appropriate for work. I still need to invest in scallop shorts and fun print ones with elastic waist bands. Seriously whoever started the trend of elastic waist band shorts for during the day is a genius.
 
A | Because I can imagine they feels like pajamas

B |  Or like wearing work out shorts all day long

C | Can we say insanely – comfy

D | I  just need to get me some ASAP.

 

Speaking of getting some ASAP, I really need to go on a shopping trip. The mall is calling my name and it happens to be my birthday week, so it sounds like the perfect week to do some damage (don’t worry husband).  But seriously, it needs to happen.

 

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8

    Lovin’ these trends too! I told my mom and husband the same thing: whoever decided silky, PJ shorts were okay to wear during the day is AMAZING in my book! But alas, I don’t own any either. I need to get on that!

  • #ad Christmas Teacher Gift Idea 🎄I love being able to run in @walmart and grab gift cards for the kids teachers.

They have such a wide variety that you can pick one that’s personalized to them! Then to jazz it up a little, I added the gift card to a snack box with goodies. 

It turned out so cute and it was so easy to make! Such a fun gift card gift idea 🎁 

Make sure to grab your gift cards at #walmart or Walmart.com!

  • #ad 🎄The holidays mean festive gatherings, cozy movie nights, and our favorite, cookie baking! 🍪 Thankfully, we have the @BISSELLclean PowerClean Furfinder to help with all the messes. It works so well.

❤️COMMENT “shop” for the link! It’s a cordless, self standing stick vacuum and my favorite feature, by far, is the bright headlights. They are seriously so bright, so you can easily spot hidden debris.

It also has a tangle-free brush roll and a 200w motor that delivers a powerful suction. And, it converts into a handheld.

The snap on the fur finder tool helps you effectively remove up to 95% of embedded pet hair. Plus, the crevice tool is great for hard to reach places like in between couch cushions. 

✨YOU WANT THIS!✨ BISSELL helps me handle the mess, so I can enjoy this special time with my family during the holiday season. 🎄
