Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend. I have two whole days with no plans!! In the next 8 weeks I will only have one other weekend without at least one event if not two so I am going to enjoy not getting out of my PJ’s unless absolutely necessary. Seamus is going to get a few extra walks, I am going to read, clean, bake and watch a lot of Netflix. It will be glorious!!
One. So I may have put too many books on hold at once at the library and have been trying to catch up, but I got the dreaded email saying I have 2 books due in 2 days and 1 book ready to pickup. I just finished a book last night so I am starting one of the two that are due. Totally possible, right? Ugh! #booknerdproblems

Two. My junior and senior year of high school I wore a dress everyday even in Winter to school except for one day when a friend asked me to wear jeans. I love dresses because really it is much easier than trying to decide which top to wear with what pants. It is also very fun and flirty when you want it to be. I just ordered this dress from Venus for only $29.00 so excited to wear it for Spring, when it finally arrives.

Three. Who got a mug this week?
Amanda from Meet at the Barre is a Barre instructor so this one is perfect. Though switch in school for at work.

Lauren at Eat, Drink, and Be Lauren is always reviewing lots of local restaurants and food trucks in and around Houston, it leaves me drooling.

Four. Everyone is getting the Urban Decay palettes and I just can’t justify the price but this one from Coastal Scents is only $19.95 so more my style and I love all the neutrals.

Five. I have some of the most amazing friends and family who support me. I have also cut out some who were not supportive or overly negative. Choose your inner circle.

That is all i have for you this week. Go enjoy the weekend, it’s supposed to be in the 40-50’s this weekend so I may even try to go hiking if the majority of the snow melts.
I’m having the same book problem right now! I’m only halfway through one book that’s overdue and I already have another one waiting for me. But I’d rather have too many than nothing to read. And I 100% agree about how much easier it is to throw on a dress than to have to figure out which pants and shirts look good together.
So true! Rather have too many than none. My library has a one day grace period so that may save me. I tried to renew but they are being held for someone so I couldn’t extend them. Dresses for the win!
I just got that Coastal Scents pallette too and I love it! I looooooove that you wore a dress every day in HS–that’s too impressive! I have like 2 dresses–but I’d live in them if I could! I’m a dress girl in the summer for sure!
Isn’t it the best shade of colors! Yes, the summer just screams maxi dresses!!
Oooh I have never heard of Venus but that is a great price! And I love how the palette is called Revealed instead of Naked, how clever! Thanks for giving me a mug – that is too perfect! I had someone suggest a chain restaurant to me this week and I was like “UM really do you not know me at all?” So so true – go out and eat local, everyone! Have a great, restful weekend!
Ohh I love Venus, so many good dresses and tops for really cheap. Very welcome. Do they not know you??? Haha!! Hope you have an amazing weekend!
i always love your mugs! and that dress is so cute, im a dress girl too! how do you like that book so far?
Thank you! Dresses are just so much easier! 🙂 I like it so far. The main character is funny and going through lots of unfortunate events but still managing to be lighthearted. Worth a read.
That dress. It just became a need. Tony now thanks you. haha
Isn’t it so pretty. It makes me want to twirl! Haha! You’re welcome Tony!
Perfect mug for Lauren! I prefer dresses in spring and summer and wear them most days.
I lost a library book on the train this week. First time in six years that happened. I fell asleep and it must’ve dropped. I blame my mexican illness.
Thanks! Yes, I am not as brave as I was then to wear them in the Winter, but i am stocking up for Spring and Summer! 😉
The Mexican illness is not cool, doesn’t it know not mess with our books! Probably not, but still. Bummer!
OBSESSED with that dress!! I seriously love everything about it!! thanks for the book recommendation – I need something new to read!! Hope you have a wonderful and what sounds like relaxing weekend!
Thank you! So excited to wear it. Are you on Goodreads? I have like over 200 on my to-read list. Haha! Don’t think i would ever go without a book again. Hope you have a great weekend!
your weekend sounds awesome! sometimes you need those weekends to recharge, or at least i do! have fun and hope you get through some of your books! ellesees.blogspot.com
Thank you! Yes, I desperately need it. Being running on fumes lately. Hope you have a great weekend too!
I love dresses from Venus, I don’t wear dresses very often but I love owning them!
I think my closet would say the same thing lately! They are not getting enough use with this brutal Winter but I am dusting them off this weekend in preparation.
i love that dress! i have to admit, since i lost weight, i’ve been wearing more dresses because now i’m not ashamed of my arms 🙂
Haha! So true right. Though it would still look great with a jean jacket over it too for those not so brave souls. You totally have the biceps to pull off not wearing one though.
Love that last quote. And happy relaxing weekend to you! 🙂
Thank you! It really is about quality people. Hope you have a great weekend!
I live in dresses in the Spring/Summer! It’s just been too cold here this winter to wear them even with tights. Enjoy your relaxing weekend 🙂

It has been brutal. I just couldn’t but this Spring will be so exciting to bring them back out of hiding!
I love that mug!!!!! Thank you so much for thinking of me it’s absolutely perfect!!!!!
You are very welcome! I thought it was perfect and suited you perfectly. SO glad we met through our blogs.
SO. Our titles are similar and we both showed our new Venus finds, LOL. I love it Kerry! And I am with you on the Naked Pallette. I cannot justify spending $52 on some plain eye shadow. If I am going to spend that much, I want lots of fun colors!.
Haha! Love Venus, so many cute things. There is a coral maxi dress I want but it only came in small. Yes, I love palettes with a lot of variety and CoastalScents is always sending my links for discounts or sales! Big hugs girl! Hope you have an amazing weekend!
I have similar book problems, which is why I use a service called Booksfree – it is like Netflix for books, so you can hold onto the books as long as you want and when you send them back you get the next one from your queue.
Love that dress! I cannot wait for summer dresses!
Ohhh I haven’t heard of that one before, I’ll have to check it out. I usually go to my library because otherwise I would be in the poor house as much as I read. The warm weather really can’t come fast enough!
I love Amanda’s mug! I also loveeee weekends with no plans. I don’t have any plans this weekend either and it’s the best. Have a great weekend!
It totally fit her. We are going to have the best time doing nothing!!! Haha! Enjoy!
Oh, that dress is cute cute!! It makes me so ready for spring!
It just makes me so excited for Spring! The warmth on my pasty legs is so needed!
That dress is awesome!!! Love the color combo. Happy Friday!!
Ps I’m way to cheap for those palettes too.
Thank you! It’s so flowy and breezy! Perfect for spring! Have a great weekend!
I’m so with you on the fact that dresses are just so much easier – I stocked up on a few a couple weeks ago, so now I just need some Spring weather!
Yes if only we could get some night temps. Though we are supposed to get up in the high 40’s tomorrow.
I love that dress and have never heard of Venus so I will be on that site all day now! I want that coastal scents pallet so bad too, no way in hell I am paying $50 for something I rarely use. Your #5 is similar to my #1 today. I hope you have a great relaxing weekend!
Oh you will love them then. So inexpensive but really cute items. It is so much cheaper and colors I will actually use a lot. We did have a similar vibe going today with our quotes! Great minds think alike!
I totally have 3 books waiting on me at the library too! I am so excited that it’s the weekend so I can start them!
Don’t you love that, but I get nervous too that I won’t finish them before they are due! Haha!
I LOVE that last quote. Over the past few years, my “circle” has dwindled but definitely for the better! Quality over quantity. I am so looking forward to spring shopping. If I could wear a dress everyday, I would! Can’t wait to bust them out this spring.
Yes, I would rather spend my time with people of quality, who inspire me, encourage me, and don’t bring me down. Once this weather improves I will be wearing them a lot. This Winter was brutal so must air them out! 😉
How’s that book? I want to find a good book to read. I am in love with venus. They have so many cute clothes. I ordered a dress last year from them for my cruise and love it!! Can’t wait to start wearing dresses again. Love the quote. I am happy to hear you are cutting negative people out of your life too! Life is too short for all that! Happy Friday darling!
I like it so far, but I am only about 100 pages in. Venus has the best dresses, and inexpensive. I haven’t had to cut anyone out recently but it is sort of how I have always lived my life. A rough patch is fine but staying in it, is not. Life is way to short for negativity. 🙂 Happy Friday!
I can’t believe that whole palette is $20! Thanks for the heads up!
Yes, and so many colors. I love them and have about 7-10 of their palettes so know it’s worth it.
Yes to #5!!!! Good for you!!! 🙂
I can’t justify the cost for UD pallets either. I told Pete I wanted one and how much they were and he said ” Is it a tattoo?!”
It is crazy expensive for the naked palettes, I have like a dozen from CoastalScents and I love them. Totally worth the price, and good alternative.
Maybe we should make Sip Happens a pajama party? And I think i am going to order the same dress….
That would be fun!! You should get it, so fun and perfect dress for spring!
I so love that barre mug!!!! xx
Isn’t it just perfect!
I can’t imagine spending that on eye shadow because I hardly wear it and the last one I bought a few years ago is still mostly in tact! Congrats on having nothing planned, I love those weekends and OMG booknerdproblems for the win! I’m still waiting on the pick up email for two books! In the meantime I’ve been reading things I already had.
Yes, I mean if I can buy 2-3 palettes for the price of 1 I am going with variety. The waiting part is the worst! I had way to many at one time but now I am down to two real books, plus 3 e-books to read.
I love this! Your weekend sounds fabulous- you really can’t get better than a puppy, PJs, and lots of Netflix!
xx Kait
Yes, those are the best kind of weekends!
i’ve been wanting to wear more dresses too since they’re so easy to wear. i’ve been on the hunt for some new ones for spring!
They are the easiest. Check out Venus and Jane.com they have the best deals.
Yes, so easy and lighter for when it gets warm.
Oh my gosh, I love that dress. Might need to make the purchase too. I am totally a dress over pants person. I actually just texted the whole dinner party tonight to see if anyone was wearing a dress because I am not in a pants mood!
Thank you! You totally should it seems perfect for spring. Pants are the devil, hope you opted for the dress!
You’re going to look stunning in that dress!!
Those coffee mugs are too cute 😉
Thank you! I can’t wait to get it. I think they were perfect for them.
Hope your weekend was as glorious as you hoped!
Thank you! It was a little more hectic than I thought it would be but still really restful and I got a lot done.
I have about a million things to say about this post…first I have been wanting to try that costal scents palette for awhile now…I own the urban decay (only because I had Macy’s gift cards!), but I want a second to use when I’m not using that one soooo let me know how you like it! That dress is gorgeous. I also live in dresses the minute the weather allows me to. And those mugs are adorable! I’m a sucker for a cute mug and I have no.clue.why!
I have about 7-12 of the Coastal Scents palettes and I love them all. Pants are so restrictive and hot so the minute we get warm weather the dresses come out! I love a cute mug, i am a little addicted!
looove dresses! especially in the summer!
Aren’t they the best! It’s too hot for pants!
Book nerd problems! I always feel like I bring half the library home with me whenever I go. I have a stack of like 10 books next to me right now, but I finished 3 last week because it was a slow week behind the front desk.
Also, that dress is going to look amazing when spring gets here!
It really is a sickness. I want them all! I am so excited to get it, love the color combo and the length.
Girl I want that Urban Decay shit too!! augggg. but the one you got is soo pretty!!
It is too expensive for me but I really love those palettes. I have a ton of them and use them daily.
That dress is going to look FAB on you! So cute.
Thank you! I can’t wait to be able to wear it once the snow clears.
