5 for Friday

Poland tomorrow

I am off to the motherland tomorrow!  I’ve been counting down and annoying the life
out of all of you talking about this every week.  I can’t wait! 
I get to see my family and eat all of the delicious food.  For those of you who don’t know, I’m the first
person in my family to be born anywhere but Poland.  Therefore, everyone except for my mom, dad,
and brother are back in Poland.  I went
to Poland last year and shared all of my adventures with y’all. 
If you missed any posts from last year’s trip to Poland you can click here, here, and here!
Guest posts while I’m gone
Since I’ll be gone for 2 weeks (I’ll be back to normal
blogging on August 17th, sometimes taking a vacation not just from
life but social media is EXTREMELY relaxing) I have posts scheduled.  The first week is all about some of my fellow
bloggers.  These lovely ladies will be
taking over my blog next week, so stay tuned because there are a lot of helpful
ideas that will be thrown around next week that are DEFINITELY worth
reading.  I actually took some tips from
some of these ladies.  The following week
I have my own posts scheduled for you so stay tuned for those too!

Have pink hair
Since I’m going to Poland for two weeks, I won’t have to go
to work.  I work in the corporate world
and as much as I love different hair colors (especially pink and Kylie Jenner
green) unfortunately that’s not accepted in my working environment.  I figured that since I will be gone for two
weeks, by the time I get back the pink would fade.  So, why not?
My little helper Lilly, she’s definitely not thrilled about this remodel haha.
Room remodel
Can I please just say how much of a project my room remodel
is?  I’ve been working for the past
week!  There was so much spackling to do
since the previous owners did a terrible job when they installed a new door in
my room so this had to be spackled quite a few times.  When we remodeled my room 12 years ago it
wasn’t this bad, but a lot can change and fall apart in that amount of
time.  Then the wiring in my room is atrocious.  I’ve dealt with all of these problems my
whole time living in my room, but since boyfriend and I are doing everything
ourselves, we decided that since everything is already out of my room, might as
well take advantage and really do a good job even if it does mean spackling and
sanding for 3 days.  I seriously won’t be
sanding any walls for a few years after this haha!  I really can’t thank him enough though, he’s
been such a trooper, not only helping me and doing a bulk of the harder work
(this is my first time even painting a room, it’s definitely different from my
jars on Etsy) and dealing with my mini tantrums when something doesn’t come out
right or when I realize that this won’t be done before I leave.  THANKFULLY boyfriend said whatever is not
finished will be done by the time I get home. 
I really got lucky with this guy.

Black Birks
If you read my posts about Birkenstocks (here) a few weeks
ago you’ll see that there is quite an obsession with these sandals.  I’ve been wearing them since I was about 4 or
5.  I got my first pair while we were vacationing
in Florida with my parents.  Ever since
then I’ve worn them, well except for when they weren’t cool and I didn’t want
kids making fun of me.  Then last year I
saw how much the BLEW UP in the blogging world. 
I mean, they were cool again.  A
few years back I bought myself two pairs at the shoe store I was managing and
wore them at work because if you have ever worked or currently work in retail
you know how straining it can be on your body physically.  I have an issue with my knee so these helped
me so much at work.  I’m no doctor or
specialist but I really think that these sandals helped save my knee a little
bit while I was working in retail.  Every
time I wore them I didn’t have too many issues but when I wore any other shoes
I was limping or in pain by the end of my shift.  I know that a lot of knee and back problems
can be caused by what shoes we are wearing and getting insoles or the correct
shoes helps.  I recommend Birkenstocks
for the summer time, like I said I’m no doctor or specialist but they really
made my knee feel better, as for actually making it better that I can’t really
say for sure.  Nevertheless my new ones
came in!  So excited to wear them while traveling
they are going to be so comfy!
