A Few Friday Faves

May 22, 2020 By Ann Marie Scheidler Leave a Comment

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! How did that happen? This reality makes the blurriness of the last few months even more so, but at least it means we’re inching just a little bit closer to summer where the light is at the end of this crazy pandemic tunnel. To kick off our first holiday weekend of summer, here are a few of my favorites for this week.

Forest Park Beach Reopens Tomorrow (Saturday, May 23): We’ve all been chomping at the bit for this one and it’s finally happening. Lake Forest’s beach will reopen tomorrow with some restrictions. While the boardwalk will be open for you to stroll, the playground, boat launch, and volleyball areas will continue to be closed to minimize crowds from gathering—there is also no swimming. But let’s not be discouraged. The closer we adhere to the social distancing guidelines now, the sooner the beach will be completely open again to all of us.

Elawa Farm’s Virtual Market: Did you know that Elawa Farm has been hosting a virtual market this month? Each Friday in May, they have opened ordering at 4 p.m. and closed on Mondays at 4 p.m. for pick-up the following Friday. Curbside pick-up takes place at Elawa Farm on Fridays between 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.  Elawa hopes to open their actual market the first weekend in June, but until then, this is a good way to support the farm and get some of their amazing goods.

MH Kitchen & Coffee Now Open: Market House’s little sister MH Kitchen reopened this week with a twist. They now serve specialty coffee drinks, breakfast sandwiches and more, to help you start your day beginning at 8 a.m.! Order online and pickup on Bank Lane with their contactless pickup service. 

Before I let you go, here are some other things I’m obsessed with this week:

  • Currently downloaded: Have you checked out the Lake Bluff History Museum’s Lake Bluff Walking Tours App? This free app provides digital tours of the village’s most iconic and historically significant buildings, neighborhoods and stories while sharing a few secrets along the way. It’s the perfect thing to do if you’re looking for a fun walk this Memorial Day Weekend.
  • Currently reading: Have you finished And They Called It Camelot: A Novel of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis? On Friday, May 29, I’ll have a review of this fun book up on the blog and will be announcing what we’ll be reading for June. (There will also be a giveaway, so be sure to watch the blog and Instagram for details next week!)
  • Currently wearing: I splurged on some summer lipstick colors that I’m absolutely loving (and by splurged I bought several colors, not that I spent a lot of money!). They’re from a clean beauty brand at Sephora called Bite. A sucker for a pencil, these go on creamy and last nearly all day. My new favorite color is Honeycrisp. (Disclaimer: Sephora’s shipping these days is super slow.)

Happy Friday!

Happy Wednesday! With the weather being so sunny t Happy Wednesday! With the weather being so sunny this week, I really believe that summer is in sight (thank goodness!). So later today, I will be sharing my warm weather skincare routine on the blog, very similar to my winter one with a few little tweaks. But the one thing that I think has been the biggest game changer has been getting more sleep! 😴 This old lady now heads to bed about 9:30 p.m., with lights out not long after 10 p.m. These days, I'm getting about 8 hours of sleep and it's crazy how much better I feel, how much brighter my skin is, and how much clearer I can think. 💤 

How about you? How much sleep are you getting?

P.S. Cute PJs can definitely help you sleep more soundly. It's a fact! 😉 This cute set is from @printfresh and you can get 15% off with the code ANNMARIE.
Good morning and happy Monday! After eating all th Good morning and happy Monday! After eating all the things this weekend, and after eating ALL THE THINGS on spring break, I woke up feeling like my diet needs a reboot. If you're in the same boat, today on the blog I share some plans I've used in the past to get my eating back on track. Let's go!!⁣

It’s hard to believe that we’re more than a ye It’s hard to believe that we’re more than a year into the pandemic. Yet even with all of these months behind us, each new development in dealing with it–from Covid tests to getting the vaccine–takes a lot of learning. That’s why we’re so lucky to have people like Lake Forest’s Nicole Phelan in our community who just jump right in and figure things out. Today on the blog, I share the work she's been doing with some faithful volunteers to get our local seniors their vaccine appointments.⁣
⁣
I'm so excited to share this story because Nicole is one of those amazing women who sees anything being possible. She had a vision over the holidays to light her entire Meadowood neighborhood with luminaries and she did it! Nicole truly does the most selfless things with such kindness, and this got me thinking....⁣
⁣
The local school board race has been really heated, especially going into this final stretch to election day on Tuesday. At the end of the day, regardless of who you are supporting, these individuals are VOLUNTEERING to serve our community. I think it would help everyone if we assumed from the jump that we are all coming from a good place and doing the best we can--even if we don't agree. ⁣
⁣
As we head into this holy weekend of Easter, I'm reflecting on something Mother Teresa once said: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”⁣
⁣
Have a great weekend! ❤️
We had the best spring break! ☀️ It was short We had the best spring break! ☀️ It was short and sweet and involved absolutely no watching of the news or crazy checking of email. It was amazing!⁣
⁣
As a result, I actually finished a couple of books, watched a few new shows, and binged some podcasts. Today on the blog, I round up everything in case you're looking for something fun to do this holiday weekend. Happy Thursday!⁣
