I've pushed my brain to the max. A lot of travel, fun-but-keeping-me-up-late plans and not nearly enough sleep has me feeling a homebody/lazy urge something strong. Now that the weather has taken on a more summer-like temperature, I must, must, must be outside this weekend but only if I'm sprawled out laying down reading a book. While I say I don't "tan" anymore, soaking up some rays in an effort to be something darker than paper white is indeed a goal. I'll double apply my SPF and call it even, k?

As I tick off my to do list I'll be Instagraming up a storm so give me a follow if you want some farmers market porn and summer inspired shots. What are y'all up to this weekend? If you're being lazy like me, you'll love the weekend reads - seriously good stuff in here this week...

Is break up in a box the new pint of ice cream?

Local gripe: wtf is up with these insane waits at restaurans on 14th St!? Absurdity.

Oh. Cringe. If texting is the new email, like hell I want work texting me instead of emailing. Because email is where ideas go to die.

Summertime real talk: my thighs touch and therefor chafing is a problem. Capitol Hill style runs through the options to prevent it.

Love this list of 7 things guys need to know about dating PR girls. #3, ahem. Yeah.

To top off the week, lovahs, let's have a laugh over the funny shit kids say. We already know they're creepy sometimes, but then there's this:
