Five on Friday {7-22-16}


Five on Friday will feature five things I'm diggin' each week!

 ONE.
"I Let You Go" - Clare Mackintosh
First of all, I could not put this book down! Last week, I was traveling and finished this book in a matter of two days. The plot twist is genuinely shocking and the book  has a heavy emotional connection. I don't want to give anything away, but I was speechless when I finished. If this isn't on your reading list you need to add it. Now.
**Who would be interested in a book club?? I was talking to a friend and we think it'd be fun to create one. Let me know what you think.

TWO.
Fresh peaches and blackberries from the Peach Stand in Fort Mill, SC. Oh. My. Gosh. One of the many things I love about summer is the availability of fresh fruits and veggies. On our way home from our trip last week, we made a stop at the Peach Stand and got some local peaches and blackberries. So. So. delicious!

THREE.
In June I took a trip to NYC and as you can imagine, I took hundreds of pictures. I don't know why I just now discovered Shutterfly.. Hello FREE 4X6 prints!! I downloaded the mobile app and uploaded my NYC pictures straight from my phone. When they have the free 4X6 promotion all you have to pay is the tax and shipping. I now have 500+ pictures that I only paid $30 for! If you have pictures that need to be printed head over to Shutterfly.  


FOUR.
Savannah Bee Company.
I am extremely indecisive. I could've spent hours trying to pick out my favorite honey at Savannah Bee Company.  If you are ever in the Charleston or Savannah area, you should definitely stop by one of the Savannah Bee Company stores. I ended up buying the tupelo honey (which is amazing!!) and the honey for your tea (haven't tried it yet.) I drizzled some of the tupelo honey on my fresh fruit from the Peach Stand. 

FIVE.
The Bob Marley from Wet Willie's. Still day dreaming about this drink. Wet Willie's was the perfect place to grab a frozen drink in the Southern heat last week. If you're 21+ you can enjoy their frozen drinks too! I can't wait to create my own version. It had strawberry, mango, and sour apple mixed together. 



 Until next time...
XO,
Jayna

Welcome to New York... It's Been Waiting for You

{New York City Trip Recap} S o this may be 3 months late, but I hadn't originally planned on writing a post about our trip.  As most of you know, I recently graduated from college. As a graduation gift, my mom and step dad let me pick a place to travel to. NYC has been on my bucket list so I figured why not? After hours of planning and list-making the time came for us to head to NYC! DAY ONE Along comes June 8th and we're off to the airport at 3 a.m. We ended up arriving 45 minutes early and took a cab to our apartment in Chelsea. No one should have to wake up that early and endure their first NYC cab ride during rush hour.. Oh my.  We were cranky, tired, and hungry which isn't a good combination when traveling!  We settled into our apartment, a third floor walk up, and decided to head out and explore. We bought our 7 day MetroCard and took a train to lower Manhattan. We wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty first so we purchased a NYC CityPass , whic

Embracing Change: 20 Things I'm Going to do This Year

"What's next?" -- A question that has been haunting me every day for the past month.  I am so thankful that I have people who care about me and who are interested in my future, but this has been the hardest question I have been asked lately.  After applying to 10 programs, I didn't get into graduate school.  The whole process was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting and I am so not prepared to do it again in the fall.  Becoming a speech-language pathologist is my dream job and I will do everything I can to become one, even if that means I will have to apply again or even five more times. I recently heard from my last school that their program was full and I was not accepted, so this is something that has been weighing heavily on my heart lately.  Out of the 10 schools I applied to, I did get on 5 waitlists, but unfortunately every single program was full before they reached me on the waitlist.  The acceptance rate for the SLP graduate program is a

Next Stop... Charleston!

{Charleston, South Carolina Trip Recap} After we checked out of the Thunderbird Inn in Savannah, we made our way to Charleston, South Carolina. It took us about 2 hours to get there, including getting pulled over for speeding... whoops! We booked a room at the Town & Country Inn and Suites in West Ashley , which was only 6 miles away from the historic district. It was almost impossible to find a room for less than $200 per night this week, but we scored a great deal with this one! The room was beautifully updated and super clean!! I would definitely recommend staying here on your visit to Charleston. We also got two $15 food and beverage vouchers for each night we had booked. DAY ONE We got into Charleston around lunchtime. We were starving, so we stopped at Persimmon Cafe . This cute little restaurant was inside a laundromat, which didn't help us cool off any... I ordered the adult grilled cheese and it had smoked gouda, cheddar, prosciutto, and apple slices. So delici
