Fan of Fridays Vol. 3


Happy Friday, everyone! I can't believe we're almost at the end of October. It's mind-blowing how fast this month has gone by but we've still got one good week left! This week's highlights were/are:

1. Birthdays! It's my birthday today and while generally I wouldn't make too huge a deal out of it, some of my best friends from undergrad and high school are coming into town and I'm so excited to see them. Now that we all live in different towns, reunions come few and far between so I'm especially grateful for when they happen!

2. On that note, I found this article on how friendship changes during adulthood super interesting. Every few years or so, I end up moving and it has a noticeable impact on my friendships. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it's a change nonetheless. [Also, in the event anyone is interested in Royal happenings like I occasionally am, this article is worth a read!] 

3. The Day Designer hype. I'm a huge planner nerd and ordered my first Day Designer during the presale this week! If you're interested, today's the last day to pre-order and get a fun pack of stickers with your order! If you're a daily planning/list making fanatic, I'd highly recommend this one.

4. Star Wars. I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. It was one of the first movies I watched with my dad so not only was it a great bonding experience but a chance for him to instill his fandom in me. I guess it worked because I have been obsessing over the trailer all week! Bah! So excited for opening night!

5. I feel like my blog feed is full of about a million topics and I absolutely love it. Angela from the Sunday Chapter has great advice about fighting anxiety, Eliza talks about picking the proper primer, and May is doing a cool introduction series accompanied by serious gorgeous pictures. 

Hope everyone's weekend is A+ :)

  1. Happy Birthday, Ally! I'm not too fussy about birthdays, too, but the gatherings with old friends and kins are always the best. Star Wars have been firing up a storm over at Nerd Central here, too, haha, and I'm too excited for it! Thank you for the little shout out!

  2. Happy Birthday Ally!!! Hope you have the loveliest day! That friendship article is so interesting, must be quite challenging and rewarding to move every few years.

    P.S. I'm such a planner nerd as well! :P

  6. Happy Birthday! I've never gotten a Day Designer but I kind of want one! I'm going to have to read these articles, I find moving really does change friendships, but with the right people I think you still have that bond which doesn't change. I hope you had a good weekend!
