Celebrating Fourth of July with Rico’s

Thank you so much to Rico’s for sponsoring the products in this post.

IMG_2722.JPGHappy Friday, friends! This week was 1000x times more productive than the past few weeks.  I got so many things for my home, for the blog, and for myself done and feel so much more at peace physically and mentally. Definitely more relaxed than I felt in all of June, which I’m thankful for. I talked a lot about heading to the beach in my last post (check it out for 4th of July outfit Inspo!), unfortunately, like I thought, heading out to the Island just wasn’t in the cards for my husband and I this year. It’s totally cool though because I think my city is having a fireworks show, which I can’t wait to enjoy! I know it’ll be great because I’ll also be celebrating Fourth of July with Rico’s snacks! I made a quick party tray to give y’all some yummy food inspo for the fourth! IMG_2837.JPG  Continue Reading“Celebrating Fourth of July with Rico’s”

Fourth Of July Outfit Inspo

Hello Lovelies! Can you believe that July is already here?! June was so long, but so short at the same time! The beginning of July also means it’s time to celebrate! I love celebrating Independence Day by heading to the Island for a barbecue with my family! My Dad is so kind to share his trailer with us during the summer time (he usually uses it at a fishing spot), so we can stay at the beach overnight. We’re so lucky to have a place to stay at the island during this uncertain time, but even so I’m still unsure of how we’re going to be celebrate the holiday this year. I usually buy two outfits: a swimsuit and an after beach day top or dress. Since everyone celebrates a little differently, I decided to pull some Fourth of July outfit inspo for y’all! There’s still time to order, and most of this stuff can be ordered and picked-up in store! My FAVORITE way to shop lately!IMG_2027 Continue Reading“Fourth Of July Outfit Inspo”

Workout Motivation

Did I really let a month go by between posts? Oops! Maybe it was just a little too much celebrating during birthday month or maybe it was just 2020 exhausting me, but I hadn’t felt like sitting down at my computer for a while. I’ve also had a hard time staying consistent with my workout routine. I seriously went from working 5 times a week to only 1-2 times and I have no idea why. Today will be my 50th ride with the peloton app (and the end of the free 3-month trial, sad day) and to celebrate the special day, I’m sharing something that has helped me with my workout motivation: work out sets!

3 Ways to Wear a Slip Dress

Welcome back, friends! I inadvertently took a week off from the blog on my last work week with kiddos.  I have definitely lost some motivation to get dressed these past two weeks, so this post is actually about a look that I wore in the middle of quarantine. I was snapping a quick #ootd pic and actually got a surge of inspiration for a blog post showing y’all three ways to wear a slip dress!AlyandtheValley_3waystowearaslipdress317 Continue Reading“3 Ways to Wear a Slip Dress”
