unplug and unwind.

have you ever reached that point when you're just tired and stressed and overwhelmed and just really need to get away? i reached that point last week and was so thankful that i had already requested last friday off work and that we had plans to go to san antonio with my family for my sister's graduation.

the time away from all the stress was SO needed. i not only used this little weekend trip as a chance to unwind, but also as a chance to unplug. i purposely left my computer at home and spent very little time on social media except instagram this weekend.

while 'unplugged', i spent plenty of time with my family and the hubs, shopped a little, ate too much, and even ended up at a tattoo parlor. no, i didn't get a tattoo, because they said what i wanted wouldn't look good. so now i need to decide on something else.

i really needed this weekend and the chance to unwind and unplug. i love blogging and all the friends i've made through it, but sometimes you just need to take a step back. after that little break, i'm feeling refreshed and revived! i'll be back to tweeting like crazy because tonight is the gossip girl finale and the bachelorette is back!!! SO excited!!

my sister and i at her graduation!

also, don't forget!
the BIRCHBOX BRAG link up will be next monday, 5/21!

I know just how you feel - I am super stressed at the moment and have lost my blogging time because of it! I have a date marked when things should hopefully (fingers crossed) calm down and I can get back to normal again. Cannot wait! :)

Dang! You've started a Monday link up. I have my Monday Kiss & Makeup link up, however I haven't been successful at getting anyone to play along. Oh well, maybe I'll give up on mine and join in yours! I've been wanting to check out the Birchbox thing.

Happy Monday! Glad you got a weekend to unwind!

Love your dress! I went to my parents' house, too, this weekend (heading back home this morning. Sometimes it's EXACTLY what you need!

Yeah, I've probably been taking too many blogging/social media breaks, but oh well! I am enjoying those breaks!

I feel you on unplugging every once in awhile. It can seriously consume your life (social media and blogging) if you let it. I am glad you are recharged. Sorry about not being able to get the tattoo. Better to be safe than sorry! You and the sis looked adorable! Gotta love the Webster!! ;)
xo,

I've been feeling that way too, like I just can't keep up with all the updates and comments and reading. I've been lazy! And I do feel guilty but I shouldn't. I hope you feel refreshed!

I need to do that too! I am too addicted to social media sometimes. I love your outfit, btw!

Sometimes a break is totally needed! Also, I'm curious what tattoo you wanted.
