Happy Friday, friends! I feel like I say this every Friday, but seriously. Slow. down. summer! As excited as I am for my upcoming trips, I know that once they get here, they’ll just fly by, so I’m really trying to enjoy the anticipation too!
This week has been all about cactus! I’ve really loved seeing how cactus are so trendy right now! I feel like lots of cute symbols are getting their due fame (pineapples, flamingos, unicorns). Is it just because there’s an emoji to match?? Maybe. I’m not complaining about it though 😉 I digress. Let’s get back to the CACTUS!
So, I’m pretty much cactus obsessed lately, and this week I’ve celebrated that.
My first favorite is the party decor I shared on Monday. I had so much fun gathering all this decor for two different events, and I love the shades of greens and pinks. So summery! Get the details here.
My next favorite is my #tastytuesday post, where I shared a Prickly Pear mocktail and cocktail. Both equally delicious! Get the recipes here.
So, like I mentioned above, I’ve pretty much seen cactus everywhere lately! During a recent trip to Fred Meyer I spotted some amazing cactus home decor (remember that store, I mentioned it earlier this week. It’s a favorite store for sure. Friends from the south, trust me! ;)). Here’s what I found… What do you think I need to bring home? All of it? Yeah, me too. These finds are definitely a favorite this week!
And, again with being “on trend” – hey Starbucks! Check out that Prickly Pear Frapp!! She modeled for some beauty shots for me. 😉 A little tart, a little sweet. Go get you one, if you can find it! Most locations are already sold out.
My final favorite this week goes back to my Girl Scout troop end-of-year party. I loved the party favors I gave the girls at the party.
So fun right?!

And, because I feel like I’ve been seeing cactus everywhere, here are some bonus cactus favorites this week!

So much cute, right?! What’s your fave??
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I’m headed to Sunriver, Oregon, and I’ll be blogging a bit while I’m there, so I’ll see you back here next week.
Party on!

How fun! I love the party favors too. Those are really cute. I’ve been a fan of pineapples for a long time, which is why I tend to gravitate toward that trend, but I love this one.

We live in Hawaii so there aren’t any cacti here but OH MY WORD! I’m totally swooning at all your cactus photos! How freaking cute are those drinks?!

Thanks! Hawaii!! I’m so jealous. Loved my first visit there last year, and can’t wait to go back. Next week my blog will have a tropical theme, so you’ll have to check back. 🌺
