Stress, Pampering & Local Coffee

It's no secret that it's been incredibly stressful around here for the past several months. Health scares for both of my parents (they were both in the hospital while I was traveling for work in May), getting laid off from the job that I loved for 6 and 1/2 years, Lil' Miss getting rushed to the emergency room on the last day I was working, and her long awaited ear surgery which was last week. Now that we are on the other side of her surgery, I've been mentally preparing for my dad's upcoming open heart surgery which I'm flying up to Connecticut to be there for. Yeah, it's been a lot. 

But there's always goodness mixed in. We received amazing news from her doctor after her surgery, and she's been healing quicker than originally thought. My dad's surgery was originally scheduled for the same day which meant I wouldn't have been able to fly up and be with my family, and never mind the extra stress I would have had on that day. Woof. I've also been able to enjoy being treated by some local businesses including a custom HydraFacial at Relive Health and trying out the flavors of fall breakfast menu at Foxtail Coffee. Spoiler alert - everything was delish! 

I haven't been doing a lot of shopping lately due to being laid off, but loved this $20 dress so much in pink that I wore to the HydraFacial and to board our Southern Caribbean cruise last spring that I scooped it up in black as well for the fall months. Here in Florida I'll wear it as-is, but when flying up to Connecticut I'll throw a jacket over it and pair it with some sneakers. 

When I arrived at my appointment, I was greeted by esthetician and had photos taken to take a deeper look at my skincare needs before the main event - the customized HydraFacial. Every last second was pampering and relaxing, and I loved leaving with that beautiful glow.

I pulled out the fall decor over the weekend, to get things decorated before I travel. I like to keep our USA and American flag decor from summer up through Patriot's Day on 9/11 so I decided to pull out all the leaves and pumpkins. Oh and of course the candles.

*The iced Amaretto Latte was DELISH*
