Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start to summer, is just about here, and this rain in Dallas can't hold me down. I am in full count-down till 5 o'clock mode ya feel me? The forecast is predicting temps in the 90's for Saturday and the high 80's for Sunday funday. A perfect time to spend some quality time outdoors, with a grill, and those you love. When my friends and family are just lounging around we chat, and share our latest and greatest finds. Here are my memorial day must haves, and 3 links to get the conversation party started. 

CROSSFIT MEMORIAL DAY WOD  

This weekend is always a fun one to be at the gym. Gym friends, and all fitness lovers... Reebok is having a 40% off sale. Matt is in need of some new gym shorts, and so am I. Love this camo print, and I'm a sucker for a his and hers moment. On Monday, it's rumored we are doing Murph, pray for me :)

PROTECT YOUR FACE WITH SUNSCREEN 

So as of recent, I am digging deep into my skincare routine. If you remember from my last post, I'm wearing hats forever and ever while outdoors, but that is not enough protection. This will be slathered on myself and innocent bystanders who are around me this weekend.

ENTERTAINING - FLAG PLACEMAT 

I bought these placemats last year for Veterans day, and they have become so handy! They can be used for July 4th, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and various other USA themed events. Snag them soon as they are on sale! I love that they can be dressed up or down, dependent upon your event. Dress them up with linen napkins, chargers, and flatware, or dress them down by using paper plates & utensils.

SHORTS TO LIVE IN 

This weekend makes it officially shorts season. My long thicker pants, and leggings move up to the top part of my closet, and the shorts make their way down. These jorts (jean shorts) are perfect for lounging, are not too short, not too expensive, and just happen to be on sale. I suggest purchasing them asap, and possibly even 2 pairs because they are just that good.
