Friday Five

:::1:::

This week for Girls on the Run we took money that we made at a bake sale and donated to the No Kill Animal Shelter here in LA. The girls and I got to take a tour of the awesome facility and got to play with some the puppies and new born kittens. Besides my allergies going wild - it was such a treat. And I really wanted to take home this sweet baby named Pearl.

When Joel was in Seattle he visited with our friends Max and Anne (Hi Anne!!) and loved a canvas they had that reflected Chicago and Seattle's skylines. He ordered on for me as a surprise birthday gift and it just came in last night. I love our two cities (LA and Chicago) and can't wait to put it up this weekend.

I decided to get a cut and color before we leave for Paris. Every week on RHONY I fawn over Kristin's hair (and body...and style), so I took her picture in for my hair stylist to gain inspiration

 from.  Minus my awful selfie taking skills, it's actually pretty close and I think it will be a great summer hair cut to work with.

I desperately needed my wedding rings cleaned, and I had no idea you could take them to any jewelry store to get them cleaned for free!? Is that like a secret that everyone knows? It took 3 seconds, they ran both through an "Ultrasound cleaning machine" and my rings have sparkle I haven't seen since I got them!

I have to say I am struggling HARD to think about anything besides the fact that we will be in Paris in 6 days. It's hard to work, cook dinner, run errands - even sleep - because I am just SO dang excited! This weekend we are wrapping up all of our loose ends, exchanging our money for the Euro, and packing our bags (well, I am). I do love vacation anticipation!!
