Weekending | The One Before the Big Launch

This week is finally here…the first event for Bespoke Boston Weddings is happening this week and a lot of this weekend was spent finalizing little details!! I still managed to have some fun and even knocked out a workout! 

Do you ever have a craving that just needs to be fulfilled! Well after dinner on Friday night, both Gary and I were craving something sweet and funny enough have never made brownies together! So that changed and we had a relaxing night – watched a not so relaxing movie – and then promptly fell asleep before 11:00 PM! Perfect evening if you ask me!

Saturday started with a trip to the Loft Salon. I think I may have finally found a “home” salon here in Boston!! I worked with Vanessa and ultimately decided against the side swept bangs, but believe it or not she took off a good three inches off the bottom and cleaned up my layers!! I’ll be back and she said next time we’d go dramatic – not sure what that means! My friend Jessica was in back town for a quick trip so we had a girls night at Bastille Kitchen. I’d been out to Bastille before but never to eat and it was amazing – their Baby Kale Salad was delicious, as were the fresh croissants in lieu of the regular bread we are all accustomed to! 

Jackie and I spent a few hours Sunday finalizing some last minute details for our event!! We put together some really fun little treats for all the guests, let’s just hope they all show up or else our husbands will have a lot of macarons left over to eat! 

I’m also very excited because in a short while B~Loved Boston will be getting a bit of a face lift!!! I’ve been working with Erin from Two Thirds Hazelover the last few weeks and she is helping me create a really crisp new space! I’m so excited for the new design and hope you guys like the look we’re going for!! 

I’ll leave you all with my favorite quote as of late and pretty fitting for the week ahead!! Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!

    Never made brownies together?! WHAT?!?!
    Croissant in place of bread is HEAVEN. They make breakfast sandwiches with them in the cafeteria at work and they're to die for!!!!!!
