Happy last day of February friends! It’s March tomorrow and that makes me all sorts of excited! I love doing these currently posts about once a month and my last one was in early January so before the official end of the month – here’s another little recap!

I have been really wanted fresh salads and over the weekend I made a Caprese salad with a twist! We had the standard grape tomatoes with mozzarella cut up, but also added in avocado to give it a little bit more flavor and also a bit more to the salad. Needless to say, we both loved the salad so much we had it on Monday night as well! I didn’t follow a recipe per se, but this one is similar.

Well we got hooked on Altered Carbon which can be found on Netflix and are almost done with the first season. It’s very sci-fi driven and nothing like what I would normally like. Even though it’s set so far in the future the baseline of what the characters deal with is all relevant today. From power, to money to love – everything we struggle with now apparently are still struggles in the future just a but more high tech! The new season of Homeland also started so we’ve been watching that as well!

I just shared my most recent reads, but I’m almost done with this book by a favorite author of mine.

My birthday definitely snuck up on me this year – it’s next Saturday!! I feel like I was just celebrating in NYC last year with everyone! I’m excited to see what Gary has planned, but he’s being very secretive!

All of my new clothes! As soon as I get something new in my closet I NEED to wear it immediately!

To do our taxes! We have all the pieces we need to actually get them done, but it feels like adult homework we just keep putting off!

Patchology has some of my favorite masks and eye gels out there and they sent me their newest lip products to test out! Their gloss to balm treatmentis all I have been wearing on my lips for the last 3 weeks! It smells so good and hydrates my lips perfect when their chapped from weather. The bonus is that it looks good on it’s own without any other lipstick or lipgloss and brings out the natural color of our lips.

Really looking forward to our trip to Ireland – we have finalized everything so now the packing needs to start! We’re still a few weeks out, but I’ve been checking the weather and it’s been a little colder there than normal so that’s a bummer! BUT – we aren’t going there for the weather 😂

Leaving work these past few weeks it’s still light outside which is so exciting! Spring is coming you guys!!
On a different note, I’m interested in doing some Q&A posts once a month on anything and everything! If you have any questions feel free to leave them in posts or email me blovedboston23@gmail.com! I’ll do round-ups at the end of every month!
I can’t believe our birthdays are next week! I’m excited to see what Gary has planned for you- I’m sure it’s going to be great! Ireland sounds amazing too! All sorts of fun stuff!!
It's so nice leaving work in the daylight! And a caprese salad with avocado is one of my favorites! Of course, I love avocado with anything haha!

Happy early Birthday to you! I can't wait to see what you guys end up doing! You are absolutely right about taxes being adult homework. We have been procrastinating terribly this year.

My husband started watching Altered Carbon and I fell asleep (my standard lately) on the couch, so I missed it, but he said it was really good! Have you guys watched Black Mirror?

Happy almost birthday!! And we binged watched Altered Carbon the other weekend and it was so crazy – a really good show, but made me uneasy at times with some of the concepts, probably because they aren't too far off from technology that could maybe one day happen!

That is a great idea to add avocado to that salad! I need to start making those for lunch! I could probably eat that every day and never tire of it!
Are we birthday twins?! And Ireland? – what a dream!!!
Altered Carbon sounds like an interesting show! We’re always looking for something new to binge so I’m going to check it out! And hooray for your Ireland trip! I can’t wait to live vicariously through you!

I always film fashion hauls before wearing my clothes so its such a struggle when I can't get to filming because I have to hold off on wearing!
