Happy last Friday in April!! This week was a blur, between work and a couple of events (more on that below) I’m happy to see Friday! Here’s a few of my favorite things from this week! Oh and I’m working on a new blog design, attempting to do this one on my own…so stay tuned!

Since Cinco de Mayo is next Thursday I was looking for fun cocktail to make and this Sangria Swirl Frozen Margaritais at the top of the list!!
Favorite App
Favorite App
I randomly came across the Sworkit App and decided to try it out. It’s basically a way for you to get a workout in as little as 5 minutes up to 60 minutes. After putting in all your information it gives you different exercises based on your goals. You don’t need any gym equipment, but some of the exercises could be made harder by adding weights – which I was able to do at home. The bonus is that it does pair with your apple watch! I really liked the core strength one, because I run out of ideas for what to do for my abs and you get a handy dandy demo of each move before it’s time to move on. Oh – it’s a FREE app!

I stopped into CVS earlier this week and was craving some new lip gloss – as if I need more! I always love the feel of the NYX Butter glosses and picked up the shades “Fortune Cookie” and “Γclair” – I love that they smell good, but since they don’t taste like anything – I don’t end up eating my gloss off! Anyone else do this?

I’m not sure when I decided going out two nights in a row during the work week was a good idea, but I still had a blast. Wednesday night Tess and I attended a sneak peek of the “Fashion in Bloom” event at the CambridgeSide Galleria – celebrating, you guessed it, Spring Fashion! We pretended to be on vacation by sporting some new sunnies from Sunglass Hut.
Thursday evening Gary and I attended Copley Square Hotel’s 125th birthday with it’s new refreshed look! They’ve had all the rooms redecorated and redone as well as the lobby!! One of my favorite little bars aptly named “Mini Bar” is located inside of the hotel and we were able to enjoy a few much needed cocktails!
That wallpaper is textured and gorgeous!
That would be a Boston terrier painting.

I love workout apps- I use one called 7 minute workout which gets a full body workout in super quick.
I can't wait to see the new blog design, I think I'll need to be redoing mine soon too.

That cocktail is calling my name! Sangria is my fave (after champagne of course). Do you guys have Blockheads in Boston? They have a few in NYC where they make something similar that is this margarita/sangria hybrid. I cant wait for the warmer weather so I can sit outside and have some sangria and guac al fresco! I will have to remember that hotel the next time I am thinking of where to stay in Boston. Have a great weekend! xo
I 100% need to try this frozen margarita recipe! I cant wait for Cinco de Mayo- whats better than a holiday celebrating tequila!? Also, thanks for including me lady! xox

I love you find such cool workout apps – I never think to look there
O.M.G! The frozen margarita looks delish! And I'm not even much of a drinker! Haha! Downloading that app as I type! Lately I've been loving PopSugar Fitness videos…they are the best! Last minute I did a 30 minute fat burning video…loved it! You rarely need equipment with any of their workouts…but I do like to add weights if I can. Loved seeing your snaps throughout the week…so fun that there are SO many events in Boston. Kinda wish I lived in a bigger city! LOL! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I can never decide if I like Sangria or Margaritas more… sounds like you found the perfect blend of the two!! Happy Friday!
You look amazing in this red dress. Love these lipglosses , and the hotel room looks very pretty.
Have a lovely weekend ahead. xx

The spring fashion event looks so fun!! I love events like that! And I downloaded that app a while ago and never used it so I deleted it. I'll have to get it again and try it out!

As someone obsessed with Scandal, and obsessed with Keri, you best believe I will be picking up every last one of those polishes! haha I'm ridiculous. (;
Cinco de Mayo slipped my mind last year. I will not let that happen again this year!
So pumped for Cinco de Mayo, I love any excuse for Mexican food π Your two events this week sound really fun!

Another great recap, Biana! First off, I LOVE sangria, so that drink is right up my ally, I have to give it a try, too! I also need to download that app which sounds amazing! I, too, run out of some ab workouts, so it's great to have an app that provides some suggestions WITH demos! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Ummm I'll take a few Sangria Swirls…those look SO good! I love the NYX Butter Glosses, so great and so cheap!
Happy Friday! That sangria swirl looks amazing! And so does that event you went to. Have a great weekend xo Beautifully Candid

I love that you go to the store just to get a new lip gloss! I totally do the same thing…. I get a need sometimes, you know???? Have a wonderful weekend!
I need that workout app! So embarrassing but I've maybe worked out once since Brody was born. Lately I've been waking up craving a good cardio burn! This might do the trick! And love those glosses! And OMG those pink sangria drinks!!!!! YUM. Happy weekend, Biana!! Can't wait to see what you come up with for your new blog design!

I love how that hotel room is decorated. My master bedroom is in desperate need of a renovation. I am thinking hotel-chic to make it more of a sanctuary…although I would need to add a huge lock on the door to keep my little ones out! That sangria margarita looks amazing, too. Have a great weekend!
Love these photos!

I can't wait to see your new design! That sangria recipe looks amazing, and I'm definitely a huge fan of NYC lippies! Have a great weekend!
I'll be saving that drink recipe for a couple months from now! π YUM! And that hotel room is just gorgeous!
I love the events you go to go to. The new redecoration of the hotel is beautiful. Loving the spring trends and I can't wait to rock them. And that marg looks heavenly!
Ooooh I can't wait to see your new blog design! I bet it's going to look fantastic! I really need to pay someone to do mine, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet!
That cocktail looks amazing and I'm definitely checking out that fitness app. I love finding new ones. Have a great weekend girl!
That drinks looks perfect for Cinco de Mayo! I'm obsessed with the holiday and my husband makes fun of me so much haha. That hotel event looks like so much fun- we attended something similar with the Charleston Blog Society and I loved it!
Looks like a fun week! Fun to read your round-up. I'm bookmarking that app for post-baby and am going to do my darndest to find a good cinco de mayo drink that looks as good as your pick, but no alcohol. Hope you have a relaxing weekend!
That hotel bar reminds me of the Spectator Hotel from what I could see; cheers to that (and y'all needing to do a return visit!). I love the Nyx lip gloss (favorite is Creme Brulee). Happy weekend, gorgeous!
That app sounds amazing and very handy to customize your workouts. I like that a lot! NYX butter glosses are seriously the best. I have about 5 different colors and have stopped buying any other brand. They really nailed it with the texture and huge variety of colors.
Oh man, that Kerry Washington OPI nail polish collection is going to be wonderful I'm sure! And going out multiple days in a row can definitely take a lot out of you, but both events sound like so much fun! The Copley Square Hotel is beautiful! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
that Copley Square event looks so fun! What a treat for your eyes and your palette. And yes, going out on the weeknight can be very hit or miss, lol. That cocktail sounds so yummy!
I love the swork it and nike work out apps. They are perfect. And NYX lip butter is the best. That hotel looks so fun. It is hard to go out after work during the week for me haha. It takes a few days for me to recover even if no drinks were had.
Omg I need that margarita NOW! Happy weekend, girl!

Yummy margarita! Those Nyx Lippies are my fave too! =)

Sounds like a fun week! I agree going out a lot during the week is hard but I always have a good time. Looks like you gals did too. Excited for your new blog layout. I love a refresh every once in a while! Have a good weekend π mymonochromaticlife.com
Super intrigued by that app-definitely going to check it out this weekend! Have a good one! π
I love SworkIt! That app is so awesome and great for when you're traveling. The hotel looked so nice in your snaps and get in all that going out during the week!
Wow! Good luck designing your own site! That's amazing, I wish I knew how to do that! And I seriously had to pause reading your blog to download that swork it app — it looks perfect! I am so excited to try it out. Thanks for the tip. Happy weekend!
Designing your own site is very impressive! I want a new design too, but definitely wouldn't know how to design it on my own! Ooohhh I can't wait for Kerry Washington's OPI line, I want to be Olivia Pope! Ha (well maybe not this season!)
Those margaritas look AMAZING!! Can't wait to see your new blog design!!
That margarita looks so colorful and pretty haha! Almost too pretty to drink! π Good luck with your new blog design, can't wait to see!

This weekend was for cocktails. Let's see the new blog!
I am so glad you posted these! I saw the app at the top and was going to download it, then I remembered I have the Fitbreak app on my phone that ties in with Weight Watchers (I am in Weight Watchers) and I was like "duh, I think I need to start using this lol" thanks for the reminder!!! catchatwithcarenandcody
All those events that you attended looked so fun! I'm definitely checking out that fitness app, and it's about time that Kerry Washington do a nail polish collection. Happy Sunday!
NYX butter lip glosses are my favorite!!

That floral art piece and the fruity cocktails sound divine. I must try the NYX lipglosses now. And what great events. The hotel looks great. I like your blog design now but looking forward to seeing the new one!
Happy May B!
Mmmm that margarita sounds delish! That app sounds great, thanks for sharing!
That Copely Hotel event looked like so much fun– I passed it a few times and it looked like such a cool hotel from the outside, so it was fun to see more of the inside! Also, I'm totally going to check out that fitness app- it sounds awesome!
hahaha that boston terrier painting. the hotel looked so fancy. and oh i love nyx butter glosses, especially eclair. i eat off my gloss too, so i love that they don't taste like anything.
That hotel looks amazing! And I feel you on going out two nights in a row! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
