Happy Monday, lovelies. It's hard to believe it's already the last day of June and we're heading straight into the second month of summer. It's been going too fast, but I'm trying to savor and enjoy these endless days of fun and relaxation. Hope you all are also! Today's links are coming to you from the many things I've clicked on and have been interested in for the past week or so. Trust me, it's going to be very random. ;)

First off, I'm a huge fan of Big Fish Games & Blue Tea Games coming together to collaborate on a fantastic series called, "Dark Parables."  I've talked about this series several times on my blog and Twitter, and you can't understand how excited I was to see they had released their next chapter early! It's called Dark Parables: Ballad of Rapunzel and it's absolute perfection! It's the 7th, yes 7th, game in this collection and I'm in love. The graphics are stunning, the storyline is so interesting and there are tons of throwbacks to the previous games. Not only do you get to play Hidden Object scenes, but you play a Master Detective who gets to hang out with characters from your favorite fairytales. Uhhhh, you can't go wrong there! Go check this game out! You can play a demo of it for free and get a taste of what this has to offer.

I'm starting to sell some clothing that I just can't keep in my closet anymore, and my first #shopmycloset item is a pair boots by Madden Girl. They're size 10 and reasonably priced at $30! Let me know through here or my email if you're at interested!

I can't get this song out of my head. That chorus though!

My city supporting Gay Pride this past weekend by lighting up a main bridge in the flag colors! So lovely.

The Copper Hen in Minneapolis is a new bakery and kitchen that you have to check out if you live locally. It's aesthetic is very warm and inviting and it's décor matches perfectly to the type of food they are serving. I haven't had the chance to go there, but it's at the top of my list of places to check out.

This beautiful feature from Minnesota Monthly that talks about local Twin Cities bloggers that are making a big impact. It's so inspirational and makes me strive to continue to produce quality posts like they do. These are a group of influential ladies that I hope I can someday be apart of.

An interesting article from Levo League that really hit home. Job searching is not fun, and it's especially not fun when you spend almost a year doing it and don't find anything.

This tasty drink sounds like it would be perfect for the upcoming holiday. Thank you, Anthropologie!

Last, but not least, the gorgeous Keira Knightley worked it on so many levels last week! No wonder she's consistently my style icon! Goddess divine is my nickname for her, and I think it fits her quite well.

I'm always on the hunt for a good bargain, who isn't though? You don't have to spend a lot to get a good quality product sometimes, but it's all about how you approach finding that particular item. I'm literally on sites everyday making wish lists here and there for items that catch my eye, and I'm always thinking about what I can afford and what is necessary for me. While the latter is usually not the case for me when I do go shopping, I kind-of binge shop sometimes, it's always nice to be thinking ahead of time for when you can make a unique purchase that will last a long time. I do like to use my discounts I receive from work, and am always trying to boost business at the company in doing so. I have rounded up ten finds that are all under $50, wahoo! It's just a mix bag of anything and everything that has caught my eye lately. And really, what hasn't caught my eye lately? Enjoy!

Another year, and another year older. Only this time I'm going to be a quarter of a century older. Where did all the time go? Where did my youth go? I'm not going to make a huge reflection on this, but it's just so crazy to think that I'm essentially no longer a kid. While I haven't been for awhile, I just still feel like I'm 21 and about to take on the world. Changing ages shouldn't be such a big issue, but for me it's just about how far I've come personally and professionally. I don't feel I've accomplished everything I wanted to by this age, and all of the expectations I had for myself were only reached about halfway. The career and position that I've dreamt about is so close I can almost touch it, but the opportunity on the other edge of the cliff is plucking my fingers off one by one. I'm just not where I'd like to be, and after trying so hard with college and applying to different positions, I'm burnt out. I have just taken on a new path in my career, it's not what I expected, but I'm hoping that it's the right thing for me to do since all my other options are out the window. I guess I have to let fate lead me where I'm supposed to be and wish for the best. I'll just cross those last few fingers that are teetering on the edge and hope that I can move up quickly in the new position I've accepted. Wish me luck!

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. So excited it's finally here (again) and the weather is absolutely gorgeous outside. It's the perfect time to mix and concoct some tasty drinks to bring to the party. It's so hot here right now, that really anything fruity is at the top of my list. It's my goal to at least make one of these at home, so check out my IG to see if I can come up with all of the ingredients. Here are 5 cocktails to sip and taste this weekend. Let me know if you try any of them!
