I hope everyone enjoyed their long Memorial Day weekend. We were super busy with our first summer vacation and neighborhood block party.
Today's post consists of a few of my Instagram photos from the past week. You can find me @becauseshannasaidso.
Loving my Bauble Bar giveaway win from Jessica at Here and Now. I am not going to lie. I have been a giveaway winning fool! Maybe I should play the lottery.
Okay, so this one is slightly blurry. This is a belly dancer at Phara's Mediterranean Cuisine in Austin. If you live in the area, I highly suggest this place. You can bring in your own wine or beer and enjoy belly dancing on Wednesdays! We had our monthly girls' night here and had too much fun! The food was mediocre, but they have a fabulous outdoor atmosphere. And who can beat a BYOB?!?
All I have to say is this is my new cocktail of choice. Dee-lish!! Get your skinny on!!
Another place to go if you live in Texas, Sushi Zushi. Ross and I just can't get enough. May I suggest the Cosimo and Domain rolls? Simply heavenly!
Logan and I fed the stingrays at Sea World. This was seriously one of the coolest feelings ever. You hold a dead fish between your fingers and they swim up to you like flies on sh*t and suck the fish right out of your fingers. It's like a vacuum. We were a little nervous at first, but were pros by the end of the day. I really could have stood there all day. Maybe my true calling was to be a marine biologist. Okay, maybe not.
I finished the last book of Fifty Shades. I just don't know what to do with myself now. Christian Grey came into my life and then left so suddenly. I know the writing isn't the best we have ever read, but the story, the love, the passion, the intensity, it always left me wanting more. Now, what do I have to look forward to when everyone has gone to bed...Nothing but a sad, sad face. I hope we will see a fourth one in the near future.
And these my friends, are my sweet, precious angels on Memorial Day. They even picked their own swimsuits in honor of the day. How lucky and blessed am I to have such beautiful and healthy little girls? God Bless America!
I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. Did you do anything exciting?
Cheers to the best app in the entire world...Instagram!

Glad you had a great weekend girl! If those books are that good, then I need to read them. I know what you mean about feeling sad and not knowing what to do with yourself after finishing a good book. What's a girl to do?!

I've been dying to try that Skinnygirl Sangria! I just started reading Fifty Shades and I can't put it down. I'd much rather be reading it than here at work, haha. And don't be too sad about finishing the books, the movie is in the works!

1. Glad to hear the sangria is good. I have a bottle of the peach margarita and its just okay. Though mixed with Sprite its pretty good.
2. Such withdraws with 50. I've heard that 'Bared to You' is good so I am going to try that but I have a feeling nothing is going to compare.
LOVE that necklace!!! Your girls look so cute on Memorial Day!!
I highly suggest playing the lotto if your on a winning streak you just never know! Your so brave to feed stingrays, they are so crazy looking I don't think I could do that lol Good to know they just feel like vacuums eating the fish. I was going to read Fifty shades but haven't had a chance to grab it I'll have to keep it in mind.
Glad you had such a good weekend :) Sunday was the Golden Gate 75th anniversary so there was a fireworks show but that's about all I did. Thank goodness for long weekends tho!

Love the necklace! Your girls look precious in their red, white and blue suits!
I am nearing the end of the 3rd 50 Shades book and have been purposely reading slower so it won't end! Glad I'm not the only one that will be dreading the day I don't have Christian Grey in my life :( Let me know if you find something else that is good!
I've been loving your instagram pictures especially the one of your girls! So cute! And you know I love your necklace too of course :)

OMG! I know I really love you now. Tell me how the skinny girl sangria was. I sent out a tweet last week asking about them and no response. I LOVE sangria. I want to try the Pina Colada too.
