This week I have been swooning way too many things! From new touches to the house to upgrades to my closet!This week I FINALLY figured out how to get pictures of myself, lol. So many of you probably already know how to do this (I had an idea), but I never put it to work. Until, now! I’ve invested in a tripod people! Best. investment. ever. Well, the best part is actually that it’s only a $10 tripod from amazon that is going to take my Instagram to the next level! Not only can I now use self-timer for selfies, I can use it to get the camera steady for even more clear pictures!

 

The Camera above I purchased as this kit about 6 months ago. It is a DSLR and yes it took me a little bit to get the hang of it, but no regrets!

Proof the tripod works wonders:

This picture was taken using a 10 sec timer, while wearing yoga pants and being distracted from cleaning. It is the first picture of mine to get on the “Top Post” section for hashtag #TheInstagramLab. (that is a win for me!)

Needless to say, I am pretty excited about my instagram gains.

Now, I’ve been swooning so many things lately. Mostly clothes for VACATION! That’s right… I turn 25 on July 21st and were packing up and going to MEXICO! This is my second time to Mexico but this time it will be a different resort.  

This time I hired a Travel agent and let her do the choosing! She is sending me to Occidental Grand Xcaret ( All-Inclusive!!!) in Playa Del Carmen! I am so stoked.

I will be doing a post about what to pack, how to pack, why I chose to book through a travel agent and OF COURSE how my 25th birthday in Mexico was! 

Ok, enough of that back to the other things. All the things I’ve been loving this week! 

Starting with my new Fiddle Leaf Fig! Pictured Here on Instagram!

I woke up Saturday morning and decided that on Sunday morning I was going to the local Farmer’s Market and picking out a dang Fiddle Leaf Fig! I see them EVERYWHERE and always liked them. This was sort of an impulse but I am so happy with it! I feel like it ties my whole house together. The leaves are so bright green!

 

And last, but most def. not least! My favorite score this week is the tank I’m wearing for the 4th of July! Because, it is SO me.

Real quick: I saw this in Bloomingdales for $68 and because i LOVE online shopping I put it back on the rack and checked online later. I went to Ebates (site that pays you to shop online I currently have $78 coming back to me) they were giving 3% back for Bloomingdales. Clicked through Ebates to Bloomingdales site find the shirt online, on sale for $51! PLUS they’re having a huge sale $25 off every $100 Duh I bought it! And it’s one of my fave brands: WILDFOX
essentially, i got this shirt for $38! 50% less then I would have paid in the store + 3% cash back on Ebates 😉
