Weekly Notables

January 24, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

This week has been a crazy one, y’all! I felt like I had zero time to just take a minute and chill. Honestly, I barely had time to write this blog post in time for the weekend lol. But next week things will finally slow down and I’m excited to be able to take some time to do things that aren’t work or school related.

Click here to see my previous weekly notables, and let’s get into this week’s post!

//one//
Lilly Pulitzer’s Valentine’s Day Collection

Lilly released TWO Valentine’s day prints this year, along with some great jewelry and accessories. I am obsessed with this collection, and I already bought myself one of the dresses. Check out my Like To Know It to see my try-ons from earlier this week, or check out my “Try Ons” story highlight on Instagram. I ended up snagging the Kayla Stretch Dress in Love You Bunches, but I also really want to get the Resort Scarf in Lilac You A Lot.

Lunch Time

If you read last week’s weekly notables, you know that I started working at Gatorlillys in Winter Garden. That being said, I’ve had to start packing my lunches again! I’ve legit been obsessed with those Starkist tuna packets you can get for like $1 at the grocery store. My personal favorite flavors are jalapeño and herb & garlic. I eat them on Trader Joe’s Pita Chips and have some fruit on the side. A great lunch that is quick, easy, and affordable!

Caloosa WaterWear’s Latest Collections

If y’all didn’t know already, I am a brand rep for Caloosa WaterWear! This week they came out with two new collections, along with some other fun pieces. They have a great Valentine’s Day collection titled Love is in the Air, as well as their Coastal Cruise Collection. I love their pieces because they feature beautiful artwork and they’re UPF, so your skin is protected from the sun and moisture is wicked away. I personally love wearing them to work out and to the Disney Parks. You can use code JAYME20 to get 20% off your purchase!

Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business

I’ve read two books this month! Who am I?! If you want to see what other book I read in January, see this weekly notables post. Also, stay tuned because I will be doing a blog post on what I read this month! Shark Tales is by none other than real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran. You’d probably recognize her from the TV Show Shark Tank. I got Grant this book for Christmas since he’s always asking for business books. I really didn’t know we’d both enjoy it a lot! It’s part memoir, part business advice. Easy to read, and very interesting if you’re interested in business or a fan of Shark Tank. I could write so much more about this book, but I’ll save that for a future post 😉

//five//
Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

We are officially less than a month out from DPHMW 2020! I really cannot believe it is so close, and that this will be my FIFTH YEAR running! Let me know if y’all wanna see any posts leading up to the weekend, including questions you may have. Also, be sure to check out my YouTube channel since I did a whole series on the race weekend last year! The information is still relevant and helpful.

Cheers!

xoxo

The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
