Hello my loves! I have been blog MIA for many reasons... first and foremost, exactly one week ago, my family and I put down our lovely amazing doggie Coco. Coco was almost 14 and she had a very long amazing life filled with so much love. She was the cuddliest, cutest, most beautiful baby ever and we are going to miss her so much. Coco had been in pain for a few years due to back/neck issues and she had had 2 surgeries for her spine. She was barely walking and you could just see that she was not happy anymore. To add to that, she went completely blind in early January. It was the hardest thing we have gone through as a family so far. Especially for my younger sister Stephanie who had grown up with Coco since she was 8. However, I know we have to remember the 14 amazing years that we we were all able to enjoy with her. I know she is up in doggy heaven chasing squirrels and eating as much bacon as she wants to! I got the sweetest messages on instagram so thank you so much for your kind words, it meant a lot to me and made me smile all through last week.
Rest in Peace Coco Sanchez! We love you!

Coco spent her entire life alongside Simba, our oldest dog who is 15 and is the sweetest dog around. We did not want to leave him alone in our house in GA since my parents are always traveling, so my sister and I moved Simba in with us! I think he is adjusting pretty well. It's been a bit of an adjustment, but we did not want him to be alone after loosing Coco. So far, so good!
Last week, I headed to Miami for a market visit and due to the snowpocalypse that occurred last week, I was stuck there till Friday. I know there are much worse places to get stuck, but I literally had no summer clothing with me and Miami was boiling hot! We ended up having to move hotels three times and it was just annoying not being able to get home. However, I did get to see my friend Heather who recently moved down there and our friend Sara was there too so we were all able to see each other!

I spent half my Valentine's day at the Miami Airport - the airport was crazy with all the cancelled flights! Luckily, we were only delayed about an hour and I got back to snowy Charlotte on Friday late afternoon. I headed to pick up essentials - aka wine. I honestly did not even acknowledge that it was Valentine's day. It is my least favorite holiday and wish it didn't exist.
Saturday, I went shopping a little bit and hit up my new favorite spot - the Origins store! I have been getting more and more obsessed with their products lately and this mask was one of the items I got. My skin felt AMAZING after! Esp after a week without all of my proper skincare and weird weather, it was just what I needed :)

I have a busy week ahead of me and I leave for Chicago on Thursday for my first grad school interview!! AH. Wish me luck! I hope you all have a great week!! :) xo
I couldn't agree with you more about Valentines Day... I'm not a big fan of it and we hadn't really celebrated it in a couple years, but we decided to have somewhat of a mini celebration at home this year. I'm all set with the jewelry, cards, flowers, candy, and dining out on v-day. It's craziness!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great trip, and I'm glad you weren't delayed too bad with all the yucky weather.
And I'm so so sorry to hear about Coco, I can't imagine how you all feel right now *hugs* but enjoy your new addition Simba.. such a cute name!!
I am so sorry to hear about Coco. Loosing pets are seriously the same as loosing family members. The last of the dogs my family had growing up passed away about 4 years ago after 17 years and I still look for them when I visit my dads house only to remember they are no longer there. That is so sweet that you guys moved Simba so he didn't have to be alone.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Coco, losing a pet is so hard they really are family members! Good Luck with your interview, you are going to be amazing!!!
