You're prepping for an important work meeting, catching up with an old friend for drinks, and trying to figure out the maze that is wedding planning. Your week has turned into one crazy, non-stop hustle, and you can barely slow down enough to enjoy a week night in with your sweetie to binge watch all the shows that you've missed.
It's exhausting, right?
And the LAST thing you want to do is go to the grocery store to wade through the crowds of other exhausted and multi-tasking career men and women, who are just trying to pick up dinner so you don't have to order take out for the 3rd night in a row.
I'm tired just thinking about it. And if you are like me, I HATE meal planning! I just have some sort of mental block that when it comes down to planning out the week and deciding what to eat each day sounds exhausting.
I like cooking, but hate the planning. It's the "chore" aspect of it that I just continue to resist.
THE SOLUTION
I'm here to tell you the simplest solution of all solutions, that will immediately free up your mind and your week.
Enter, HelloFresh.
If you haven't heard of them, they are a meal delivery service that will bring pre-portioned ingredients, with step by step instructions right to your door. FOR REAL. You can customize your likes and dislikes, quantity of of meals, frequency of meals, and just about anything else that will immediately simply your week and your life.
They have a great variety of meals, and they are all so fresh, so diverse, and have yet to bore me. I've considered other services but the recipes just aren't as exciting.
For the price of 3 meals, you can eliminate the Sunday night struggle of meal planning and the after work task of running to the store for forgotten ingredients, and will instead have a built in date night with time to spare! Open a bottle of wine, get your sous chef chopping veggies, and settle in for that Netflix binge session.
And maybe a little bit of Pinterest wedding planning during the commercials...you know you want to...
Since I want you to have the best quality of life during this stressful time, I'm giving you $40 off of your first box!
YES! REALLY! (Just scroll down through the pictures, and yes...I know...I could use a cuter cutting board!)
HelloFresh wants to share the love with as many people as possible. So take this code below, drop it into the box at checkout, and get ready for at least 3 built in date nights so you can FINALLY spend some quality time together!
I'm telling you...it's amazing and I just picked out my meals for next week. Check that one off the to-do list!
YOUR TURN
Have you tried HelloFresh yet and are you as obsessed as I am? What's been your favorite meal so far?
Wishing you a stress-free week, and all the best in love, business, and life!

Wedding invitations may be entering your mind as you go down the list of to-do's. You've searched Pinterest and a few online shops, but haven't found "the one" yet, and are wondering if the investment is really worth it.
The short answer is, yes.
Here are three reasons why you should invest in your wedding invitations.

Nicole and Bryan came to me from somewhere out in the social media wonderland, and I'm so darn happy they did.
Nicole has so much energy and excitement, and they were both SO in love. Nicole knew that she wanted an invitation suite that would accent her designer gown and gorgeous chandelier-filled reception hall when sending it to their over 300 person guest list! She knew she wanted pinks and maybe some green, and wasn't a fan of too much cursive.
The sun has set and the ocean breeze has chilled the guests, but the memories of Jen and Mike's wedding are still warm and fresh in our minds.
I had the amazing pleasure and honor of not only being a bridesmaid, but also stationer for Jen and Mike's New Jersey Beach Wedding. It's not often that I am so involved on both sides, but for Jen, I'd do anything.
Jump on in to hear more about their special wedding day, and to view some pretty pictures of the event!
Working in the wedding industry is a crazy, exciting, and very emotional thing. We get to be a part of the very best days in a couple's life, and it is an incredible experience to take part in. I've worked with and met many other members of the wedding industry, but the professionalism, enthusiasm, and passion that emits from Teresa from the very first email is what sets her apart from the rest.
Read more about Teresa, our project together, and why this was one of my favorite projects of 2016!

You may remember me talking about a Valentine's styled shoot last year that had everything to do with Kate Spade. You can read about it here, and as you may notice, I was just a LITTLE bit excited about it.
I mean...did you SEE those inspiration boards?!
Well it's almost Valentines Day again this year, so it's fitting that I finally follow up with this today. In the post I mentioned that I'd show you the final products of this Kate Spade Valentines Shoot...
