Weekend Snapshot 2.6.17

/

Aaand it's Monday again. 

RECAP:
It was a pretty fun weekend over here on The Guide. Shelby had her hair dyed with a nod to our fave unicorn (loveee). I saw Georgia Tech lose to Wake Forest after winning a free pizza during a dance off near the half, and then went to a Lee Brice and Justin Moore concert (country feels). And Sunday was for extra sushi, getting back to the yoga vibes, and the big game we've been counting down towards...

In an unprecedented close of a 19-point lead, the Patriots beat the Falcons in the Super Bowl LI, and the 2017 game became one of the most exciting ones in a long a** time. I wonder how many Tom Brady jerseys were bought last night? You can catch the seven best (and worst) Super Bowl commercials from The Verge here. 

Fun things you should know? Five ways to to use avocado for something other than guac; why sports writers aren't 'sticking to sports' anymore (and it's a good thing); and why kids might gain more satisfaction from pets than their own siblings. 

THREE FAVORITE WEEKEND THINGS:
1. A jam-packed Saturday with my favorite people. 
2. Hard cider and popcorn during the Superbowl.
3. My new sleep mask. Bless. 

THIS WEEK:
This week we're going puppy searching; mastering the art of sugar cubes; and getting ahead - or at least on track - in some work (boring but necessary). 

+ How was your weekend? What are you up to this week?

It's finally summertime! So many fun things are coming to The Guide this summer; a summer of popsicles, great interviews of inspirational women, and some incredible cocktail recipes are headed your way over the next four months, and I can't wait to share them all with you. To start the week on a high note, here are my favorite nine links from the past weekend.

5. This artist who repairs broken pottery using the 'kitsugi' technique. 

6. The office space of my botanical dreams. 

7. Delicious raw Pad Thai I can't wait to make.

Happy Monday! Xx.
