Fridaze 025
I wasn't expecting to not blog for a few weeks, but you know how life just gets ahead of us sometimes. I wanted to come back a lot sooner, but I've been having a lot of problems with hacking on my site. I think I finally have everything in check, and I won't have the issue anymore! I technically had a post written up for last Tuesday, but since I didn't get the chance to take pictures, I decided to upload it for next Tuesday. Here we are on a Friday though, so let's chat about my Fridaze.
Mardi Gras/New Orleans for Bachelorette
The main thing that happened since I've been away is that I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! I've always wanted to go, so I was really excited when Patty decided to go there for her Bachelorette party.
There were a lot of ups on this trip, and some downs. The town has beautiful architecture, the food was delicious, and the people were all so friendly! The one thing I will say, is that most of their specialty alcoholic drinks are so sweet, which is not typically what I drink, so I would not recommend those.
While Mardi Gras was a bit rowdy, I would go back during a different time of year!

Booked Next Trip
My best friend, Amanda, decided that we should take a couples trip this summer! I usually don't take big trips in the Summer, mainly because it's more expensive in the Summer, and I don't have a job that requires me to take off only during that time.
Amanda's a teacher, which means she only has a certain time she can take off. We looked at a few places, and decided we're going to Mexico! Even though I went last year, I'm excited to get to experience different things with different people.
Getting Sick
Upon coming back from Louisiana, I got a cold! I think it had to do with going from a warm place to a cold place, and then not dressing properly. I spent the whole weekend hanging out with Joe and resting.
I still have some sniffles, but I feel really well!
Being in Charge at Work
My parents went to visit my brother in South Carolina, so I'm in charge! Usually it's a very stressful few days, but to be honest, I feel like this has been the smoothest it's ever been while they've been gone.
I don't know if that means that I'm getting more comfortable taking over, or if I just got lucky!
Looking at Apartments
This might be the most exciting things to share. I never shared this before, but I was originally planning on buying a house, but with the ridiculous rise in housing prices, I decided to lease an apartment for a year!
I started looking for apartments for the past two weeks, and while it's a bit daunting, it's also very exciting. I can't wait to start this new chapter in my life.
Can we Talk about Peacemaker?
J hyped up Peacemaker so much, and I finally got the chance to start it. Not even two weeks later, I finished the whole season! While I feel like DC cinematic universe isn't the best, this show was a hit for me.
The plotline was good, the acting was good, and I honestly can't wait for the second season to come out! If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend watching the second Suicide Squad, and then watch this one. It's 100% worth the watch!
Shows/Movies I’ve Watched This Week:
- Sword Art Online Season 1 episodes 1-7 [Netflix]
- Peacemaker episodes 1-8 [HBO Max]
- Emily in Paris Season 2 episodes 3-10 [Netflix]
- Community Season 1 episodes 16-17 [Netflix]
Books I’ve Been Reading This Week:

I thought I would have a lot more to chat about since I skipped two Friday's, but I guess most of it took place during my trip! As always, I hope you guys have a great weekend. Sending you all the love, strength, and positive vibes you need. Thanks for reading xx
I'm glad you got the hacking situation sorted! A couple's trip sounds amazing and to Mexico! I haven't been abroad in a couple of years because of Covid so I'm really excited about going away this year.
I've just finished watching Emily in Paris S2. It's so easy to binge on! xx https://www.thestyleoflaurajane.com/
Ooo! Do you know where you’re planning to travel to?? And agreed, while the show isn’t exactly what I would consider quality, it’s such a fun and easy watch!
Ah I'm so glad you had a fun time with your friends and so excited for you about your next trip! It always feels so great to have a trip to look forward to. 🙂
I'm glad you are feeling a bit better now and yay for taking charge AND the apartment hunting! Wishing you all the very best in this new adventure! Sending you lots of love, take care of yourself! xx
It's a little overwhelming to find the next place I'm going to call home, but I'm excited for this new chapter in my life! Thank you so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x
Your trip to New Orleans sounds fun. Sorry to hear about the hacking. Wishing you good luck with the apartment hunt!

Yes, I finally got everything figured out! I paid for monthly security to monitor my site. I never want to deal with that ever again.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time (site hacking excluded).
I am loving the fabulous photographs you took in New Orleans -
of the bride, of the festively decorated balconies overlooking the pedestrians on the street,
and especially the photo of the four absolutely stunningly gorgeous bachelorettes!
You all looked very beautiful!!!!
Thank you! I had such a great time in New Orleans, and while it was a little hectic at times, I'm so glad I got to experience it! I recommend that most people should go and try the food and get to know the culture. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x
I like this blog!
This blog told a little about you, it's well written and your writing style is good. Best wishes.
Also, I hope everything is sorted with your site. 🙂
I haven't had any problems since fixing it about two weeks ago, so that's good! Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about the hacking. That's happened to me before and it was so stressful! I pay for a security company to backup and monitor my site now.
Good luck with your apartment hunt!

It was super stressful! I have now paid for a security company to monitor my site too. I'm actually looking at 2 apartments this week, so fingers crossed one of these might be the one! xx
