Happy Monday!

Oh Monday, you always come too fast after a great weekend. I am happy to start this week and I woke up at 5:30 ready to start my day! (I know, crazy! but I take a long time to get ready!)

5 Things for Monday
1. There is a TORNADO WATCH for OCEAN COUNTY today! From just watching the wind whip the trees around outside- I am afraid of going outside today!
2. I think it's finally time for me to give up the search on the 3.1 Philip Lim for Target Tote with Gusset in Black. I have been to FOUR different Target's in the area and to no avil there are none to be found. It's such a pretty bag.  As much as I would love to add this to my collection, It just isn't going to happen.

1.

 It's just a pretty bag that I am in Love with. It is as elusive as trying to find a boyfriend in my case.
3. Being a Maid of Honor, for Biff's wedding is kinda really important, I am starting to realize real quick, as I mentioned in other posts (LIST POSTS) It's funny, I feel as if I would be the last person to pick for this job. I'm organized but this is someone's wedding! I will keep you updated on it.
4.I need to fix my printer that has been out of serivce since maybe the beinning of the Summer! There are so many cute outfits I find from my fellow bloggers that I would love to print out and put into my look book but I just can't.
5. Lux hit 300 miles over the weekend! Yes I did just get Lux 11 days ago and I have been driving non stop it feels but its so darn comfortable to drive how could i resist. ( I got Lux with 28 miles on it.)

What I am Reading:
 Currently I have been reading Quiet Influence by Jennifer Kahnweiler PhD. I thought it would be intersting learning how introverts can be effective in mangement positions. I typically relate to more introverts than extroverts just because i need time to recharge my batteries after being with a large group of people for a long amount of time and for other reasons too. I've only just started reading it and it seems it will keep my attention for a bit.

Noteable quote:
     " I believe with all my heart, that if you treat little things like they are big things, the mundane thlike they are all the miraculous, the tiny detail like they are the big picture, your life will be infinitely better. Start slow and try it. Notice more, See more, Appriciate more. You will find out. " Tyler Knott on Instagram today..

Does anyone have exciting plans for this week?

My oh My!

My oh my, what a week this has been.....

I am happy that the week is over and grateful for a new week to start. 

I have found my creativity again, which makes me happy and sad. 

I am happy I can be creative, painting, doodling, baking, jewelry making- I even opened my open Etsy shop too: Handmade by Gabrielle7!

The sad part is that it always takes a boyfriend breaking up with me, to find my creativity. I had high hopes for this boy too but alas, he ended it, and I was left crushed, heartbroken and with a bunch of unanswered questions that he would never answer. I am a strong person and I will get through this little hiccup in my life, as I always do. 

I am eager for this week to start, I have some plans, some ideas and new projects I would like to start this week. 

My to-do list this weekend was pretty packed solid, and I was happy to finish most of it, some of the things (reorganizing my extra closet in my room or cleaning out my nightstand) were just too large for this weekend, and I wanted to enjoy some of the beautiful weather.

New Jersey sure has been trying to hold on to the summer still- with it being so hot out! 

Goals for the week:
*Get to the gym twice
*Dinner and Catch up with Emily
*Read each night
*Try a new craft

Breathe.You can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
