5 on Friday: Oh Hey March!

It’s the first Friday in March y’all! How did that happen?! I’m ready for a fun 5 on Friday, how about you?!
Frankly, before we get started, I’m pretty pumped March is here because in my world right now, March equals decisions being made! Like renting the “flat” where we’ll be living in London, solidifying our house being rented out in Charleston, getting a UK bank account (the hardest thing in the world believe it or not!) firming up Sully’s part-time daycare and oh so much more.
This is going to sound like a total diva moment, but I don’t know that I would have survived February without my close friends (you know who you are!) and my acupuncturist. Cupping and the hour lying on that table with zen music and those perfectly placed needles was my saving grace. Not to mention Lisa’s calming and insightful presence!
This month I have a great mix of 5 on Friday items, no matter how you’re feeling at the beginning of this month!

{ONE} Travel_InHerShoes

Do you ever come across someone on Instagram and literally can’t get enough? That’s what happened when I found Aggie and her 426K followers. Her adventures are amazing, her photo editing stunning (and she sells her presets!) and her Highlights are my go-to when looking at where we’re going to travel when we move abroad!

{TWO} Article – What Those Words on Beauty Products Really Mean

The Free People blog kills it y’all, I love it and this article was short and sweet enough that I actually got it. This is particularly scary:
“… a lack of regulation makes it incredibly easy to slap the term ‘natural’ on a label without anything to back it up. Many products that claim to be natural are likely just jumping on a marketing trend.”
I’ll be looking more for this label:
“Three cheers for regulation! To be “organic,” a product needs to pass a test of sorts put forth by the USDA: it has to contain at least 95% organic ingredients that have been grown and processed under a strict code of guidelines, and be free of additives.”
Y’all need to school me on this topic, what else do I need to know about ingredients? Which ones do you stay away from when you look at ingredients? That’s what I want to know next!

{THREE} Shopbop Buy More, Save More Sale (Ends Tomorrow!)

Oh the big Shopbop sale… gets me every time! This round though I’m very conscious of the fact that anything I buy I will also have to haul on suitcases on the plane (yep, we’re bringing everything on the plane with us!) when we move. So here are the two things I did buy:
Calpack Packing Cubes
Free People Midi Dress
(full disclosure – I returned this dress because it is so not made for busty girls!)
Now, here’s a few other things I really wanted:
Rag and Bone Jeans
Cashmere Travel Scarf
Macrame Circle Tote
Oh Joy! for Calpak Suitcases
Eberjay PJ Set
Cotton Candy Sunglasses

{FOUR} Perfectly Pink Raincoat

Last clothing thing on the docket today and how perfect is it?! London is going to be all black everything, but the preppy pink loving American in me is swooning over this coat!
JCrew Pink Raincoat
{FIVE} Things You Have To Do / Do Not Have To Do
This Instagram post by @bymariandrew really struck home for me this week y’all. I am really contemplating printing it and hanging it up in my office, fridge and bathroom mirror! What are other inspirational accounts you love?
That’s it for this week y’all! Stay tuned to see my favorite new work backpack and more info on our big move. Make sure you don’t miss my Instagram-worthy London Bucket List too!
