It’s been for-ev-er since I did a scenes from the weekend post! A lot of you have been requesting more “daily life” -esque posts, so I’m going to start doing more of them again…starting now 
Rewind to Friday where I spent the day with Jessi, lunching + working. We spent a few hours doing a photo shoot for Ben Amun jewelry, which I was also able to take home with me to wear later in the weekend (perks).
How gorgeous are these pieces?!
We had lunch at Friend of a Farmer (one of my faves), where we unintentionally celebrated National Pie Day. Shepherd’s Pie for me, Chicken Pot Pie for Jessi.
Also on the EATS agenda for the weekend was:
* mixed berry smoothie bowl topped with shredded coconut, raw oats, cashews, and flax
* thee BEST version of Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had at Saxon + Parole (Virginia Surryano Ham, crispy potato parmesan cakes, poached eggs, yuzu hollandaise)
* sushi on sushi and tons of other deliciousness at Lure Fishbar for Rachel’s birthday dinner
Earlier on Saturday (I’m bouncing all over the place, oh well) we kicked off Rachel’s birthday celebration with a group of us taking SoulCycle together. It was my third class in a week, who am I?!
(BTW - pictured below are my good friends Natalie and Sydney. Not sure if I ever introduced them on GML yet :))
I spent most of today (Sunday) in bed getting caught up on a bunch of work + blog stuff. I wasn’t planning on doing that, but I’m really glad because a productive Sunday = a better Monday.
I fueled through with a healthy lunch from The Squeeze + this INSANELY good “Squeezuccino” of theirs. Definitely a new favorite.
Then I did the normal Sunday thing - church, errands (stocking up for the big blizzard coming, eek!), and now I’m going to watch a movie and call it a day.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! xo

Gracie… What a splendid weekend you had!
That Squeezuccino looks and sounds absolutely divine - I’m jealous. The vanilla bean sounds like a wonderful addition to caffeine, I’ll have to try it in mine one day!
it was soooo good, tasted like a coffee milkshake!
Looks like it was a wonderful weekend! And that Ben Amum jewelry is so pretty, but are stunning in those photos girl! That Squeeze sounds awesome, I’m always on the hunt for yummy, clean snacks! The highlight of my weekend was having a really great deep talk with my mom- one of those ones that you can’t plan but is just so good for the soul!
ah, thanks babe!
I agree - nothin’ quite like a good talk with mom <3
Those jewelry pieces are stunning! My weekend was spent with lots of good girly time which is always a good thing.
That Squeezuccino looks SO good!! Looks like you had a fun weekend! The highlight of my weekend was going to check out a house! My husband and I are buying our first home in Charlotte so it was a fun experience.
how exciting!!
Your weekends always look so fun and busy, but I always get the most jealous of all the delicious food you post about! That Squeezuccino? omg. And the eggs benedict are calling my name even though I don’t like ham!
Highlight of my weekend was leading my first solo lesson for the Youth Group I work at!
I’m so curious about Soul Cycle! We don’t have any near me and spin classes usually aren’t my thing, but I’m still interested in checking one out sometime!
I didn’t think spin was my thing either! but it is SO fun…hands down the most fun workout I’ve ever had!
highlight of my wknd was a wine tour bachelorette party for my cousin in Austin, Texas! such a hip town.
ah, so fun! 😀 I’ve always wanted to visit Austin
I think the definite highlight was feeling like I had a lot of downtime, instead of being scheduled Friday night through Sunday. We had some CrossFit friends from Owatonna, MN visit us up in Duluth at our gym, so it was great to WOD with them + hang out Friday night.
I’m ready for our competition training on Sundays to become less mandatory after a competition a lot of us are doing next month! I need my Sundays back!
Oh my gosh - I love the Ben Amun pieces on you.
