coffee and flowers

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday morning, whether you are a lay in bed until noon kind of person or a carpe diem/don't waste the sunshine person. Either way, as long as coffee is involved it is sure to be a winner.

And now for some good reads to go along with said coffee.

1. It's self tanner season for those of us who are pale. The girls at A Beautiful Mess rounded up the best self tanners for all skin shades. It's worth looking at if, like me, your apartment pool is now open (which happened to coincide with a freakish cold snap.)

2. Girls still at Harding, it's official, long shorts are coming back into style. If you are looking for "dress code appropriate" alternatives to Nike shorts, or want something a little dressier, then you don't want to miss this list of bermuda shorts.

3. I'm still laughing at these tips to grow your Instagram account. Anyone who tells me to take more pictures of books with coffee, is seen as a source of wisdom to me.

4. I don't want to drop too many hints just yet, but a Nordic adventure is happening on the horizon. And one of the must sees is the Abba museum in Stockholm. When in Rome, right? And I may be jumping the gun on this one, but I've already found a hostel for us to stay at there: City Backpackers Stockholm. Apparently they are the 5th best hostel in the world?

5. It's that time of the year for many...internship applicaiton/job application time. Mackenzie has some great tips on the process of getting all of your application materials together and taking the time to complete all of the applications.

What you missed this week:
Berry Banana Pancakes 
An Afternoon in Monet's Garden
My love for desserts

Ohhh, Stockholm?! Love!

Sammy Dorn said...

Yes! I hope you do end up staying there. Such a great place.

Also, hooray for long shorts!

Chantel Klassen said...

I'm excited for longer shorts, excited to check those out!

I just got home from a weekend trip to Stockholm and cannot wait to share about our trip and you should go as it is a great city!

Jess said...

Ahh! Can't wait to read your post and add more to the list besides the Abba museum :)

Jess said...

It's so refreshing that they are becoming fashionable again.

Jess said...

Thanks for the suggestion! Thankfully I never had a horrible hostel experience, but reading real reviews of them always helps making a decision about where to stay.

Jess said...

I envision a week of reindeer print scarves and whale safaris. And Abba. Lots of Abba.

Jess said...

You and me both. But I've almost reached that point in my life that I have just accepted my pale skin and rest on the fact that when I'm 60 I'll still have good skin.

Haha love that Instagram tips post! If books with coffee is all it takes, I should be the most-followed person on Instagram. ;)

I am so excited for pool season to start again! With the temperatures we're about to get this week I need to check out if our pool is open yet. Stockholm sounds like a fab plan!
