Tuesday Things.
1. I don’t even want to use the chalk above, it’s so pretty. But it’s not like I can DISPLAY it. Just use it already, right.
2. Have you seen unicorn ice cream?!? All my dreams come true.
3. I know it’s kind of old news right now, but thoughts on Victoria’s Secret no longer selling swimwear and apparel? I haven’t bought anything there in a few years but something about no longer seeing the catalog makes me insanely, sadly nostalgic – in high school I remember getting so excited and picking out a swimsuit each year! Also, I always found that they might have a top or bottom that worked that I couldn’t find elsewhere. Whomp whomp.
4. Absolutely can’t stop listening to (and watching) the Can’t Stop The Feeling Megamix.
5. TV things! I’m not loving (like, not even hate-loving) this season of Mistresses. I’m excited that Nashville got un-cancelled in a way, but also felt like the ship had sailed. Not watching anything else at the moment but I keep watching The Intern on repeat because I live for anything Nancy Meyers writes.
6. Would you believe that I had never made a walking taco before? I remedied that on the fly Friday night, using a BIG bag of chips – and served it for dinner for everyone with forks. New favorite thing ever.
7. I 100% feel like my mom (it’s her birthday today, P.S.!) because my summer world is revolving around my flowers. They are so bright and flourishing and I literally have zero idea what I did this year to make them like this. My succulents, however – that’s another story. How do I save them!?
8. GUYS. The cicadas. Oh my gosh. Okay, so they aren’t near our house, but we went south of the city this weekend and the moment we stepped out of the car, they SWARMED us. As my dad said, they were actually aggressive. Landing all over us – on my neck, legs, in my hair, on our clothes, on Max, in the stroller, dive bombing us and they look like huge gigantic roaches. Yes, I know that they don’t hurt us and yes I know they have been gone for 17 years but I loathe bugs. I am a baby and have a phobia of bugs. It is what it is. I basically haven’t slept since Saturday. My skin is crawling.
9. How to find the work – life balance. Million dollar question.

Omg, this is the first I’ve heard of the VS news, what’s happening to the world! Also, the walking taco just got bumped to the top of my list. AND, and, major kudos Girl for the fact that you are able to rationally tell about the cicadas when I probably would have just died of a heartattack right on the spot. Haha, but I’m totally loving this list! Happy Tuesday and may there be tacos!
I have a love/not love relationship with Mistresses as well. It seems to suck me back in every year. I do love Jocelyn…and wonder why the actress who plays her is not in more things. I really like her and want to be her friend…or the characters’ friend…not sure which, ha! I am glad Nashville is unconcealed…love the original music every week.
Have a great, cicada free day!Â
I didn’t know VS is going to stop selling swimsuits?! I have SO many of theirs and my friends and I would send each other ones we wanted via text/IM all the time. OMG THIS IS SO SAD. They were so cute!!
CICADAS ARE THE WORST. Omg, I’m going to flip my sh!t when I have to go walk Winston in the summer and if they swarm me..you better believe I’m going to scream, run home and cry. I hate bugs of any sort!!
Omg that mix!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. I’m never going to be able to stop listening.Â
Also, just your story about the cicadas is enough to give me nightmares ahhhhh. So sorry you had to experience that! O____OÂ
That unicorn ice cream looks so cool! I love the fun swirls! Also, yikes about those cicadas!!! I definitely don’t miss those!

That unicorn ice cream is actually magical. I hadn’t seen that Megamix until just now <– This is one of many reasons why I keep coming back to your blog :)) Happy Birthday to your mom! And GROSS. I cannot handle cicadas. They terrify me if they come close so I cannot imagine them aggressively landing on you or Max!
i swear by asos.com for swimwear. i’ve struggled for years to find tops that fit. most sellers just have s/m/l and i need a small for the band size and a large for the cup size. asos to the rescue! they sell bikini tops in bra sizes at affordable prices and have a large selection.
You should watch Unreal- it is a show about a fake Bachelor type reality show. So, so good.
I need that ice cream in my life ?
Happy birthday to your Momma! Â Yep, walking tacos are amazeballs! :D
work life balance simply does not exist and is some kind of  crazy idea developed by men to keep us focused on something other than taking over the world.  LOL at least thats my 2 cents.  second you have broken my heart.  i LOVE vs swimsuits !
Hi, try watering your succulents once a week or even once every other week. Also, if they are in direct sunlight they can get burned, you can put them in indirect sunlight or under a shade canopy or something like that. Good luck :)
Wait, VS isn’t selling swimwear anymore?!?! That’s literally the only place I buy suits! I’m so sad now.Â
I need to try that walking taco thing..sounds right up my alley!
Haha I can only imagine that cicada scene…it’s making my skin crawl thinking about it.
Still totally bummed about the VS thing. I love their swimwear and their activewear so much! And happy birthday to your mom! :)
I felt the same way with the VS swimsuits. I haven’t gotten one in for.ever. but seriously love browsing that catalog. Now what?
Wait a second. I was wondering what was happening with VS! Bummed a little bit since I always loved their swimwear. That’s so strange. I wonder why. At least they’re not quitting sweatpants. Whew!
The cicadas! Â Ugh. Â They are so gross. Â One year we came home from vacation and one flew into the house and landed in a light fixture. Â I made my husband get the ladder out, bag the light in a trashbag and take it outside before I would go to sleep in that house. Â Of course since then we’ve had 2 occasions of bats in our house which is even worse. Â None of them were invited and I just can’t have it.
I know what you mean about BUGS. They are evil and disgusting. I probably would have run screaming and flapping!
My bff always serves walking tacos at her kids’ birthday parties. So easy to put the taco meat in a crock pot, have various toppings and bags of Doritos. Minimal clean up, too!
