Happy Monday! I hope you had a relaxing weekend and were able to rest up for the week ahead! Last week I shared 4 goals I had and I’m happy to say that I did all of them!! I luckily had a great book (The Light Between Oceans!) and we had one technology free night where we played card games. I think I’m going to keep up the reading – it was so nice to have some time just chilling with a book.
I also wanted to do a shout out to anyone who is reading to follow me on Instagram (@helenlovesblog), Twitter (@helenlovesblog), and Pinterest (pinterest.com/hbs)! My profiles are in the top right (menu area) and you can click on the icon to go to the right social media site. I typically post more details about my outfits, daily life, and more items I’m loving but don’t have a whole post for. I hope you check them out 🙂
This post I want to share some of my favorite recent posts from across the web. No big theme connecting them – just a bunch of articles that I loved for various reasons! Enjoy and happy Monday!
The Sneaker Trend – Merrick’s Art
- I honestly check this post for ways to wear all my new sneakers! This post explains all the types of sneakers and how to style them — such a good read if you’re loving the sneaker trend like I am. It’s been super helpful when putting together outfits.
Why Being Alone Doesn’t Mean Being Lonely – The Everygirl
- Working from home can be seriously lonely sometimes! Plus after moving to St Louis 2.5 years ago I’ve only made 1 friend here that I really connected with. So between working at home and being in a new city I’ve had a LOT of alone time. I think people imagine that being at home all day is the dream – and it is really nice, but it’s hard to be social or meet new people. I loved this post because it’s a great reminder that being alone isn’t all bad and you can enjoy it!
6 Six Things to do on a Short Trip to Charleston – Gal Meets Glam
- Charleston has basically become the coolest city to visit – and now that Julia Engel lives there it’s even cooler!! It’s definitely on my short list for a weekend trip so I have bookmarked this guide and will 100% be referencing it for a future trip! Maybe this fall?
5 Secrets to a Happy Marriage – Sequins and Stripes
- I love when bloggers reveal personal stories or more than just their clothes. Liz Adams is great because her IG and posts are so real.
How to Spread The Love this Valentine’s Day – Glitter Guide
- Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and although I’m not big into this holiday (a bit too cheesy for my taste and I’m not a super romantic person) it is a great day to think of the special people in your life! This list has great tips for making the day more than a fluffy romantic holiday.
Here are my last two Monday posts if you want to read them: February 6, January 30.
I hope you have a great week!
