Insta Me aghan: Life Lately

Today I just wanted to share some Instagram shots from around Saint Augustine over the last couple weeks. Don't you just love my little town!?
At the edge of the Ponce de Leon looking onto the marina and the visiting pirate ship.
Caught a beautiful sunset over at a friends house in Vilano Beach.
It looks a lot warmer than it actually was, don't be too jealous of Floridians.
Fog over marsh, bird
A foggy morning in Saint Augustine, FL.
My 3 everyday bracelets.
Dogearred moon & star bangle, Sailor's Omen bracelet, gold & silver bracelet
Homemade Margs, fresh flowers from the hubs and my new Erin Condren planner.
Check these out and spend the money to get one if you are a planner nut like me.
I won't be looking at all the planners in Marshalls this year because this one has everything I could ask for!

Shopping on Black Friday with my friend Kelsey! Find anything good on your shopping adventures?

Christmas came early!! New Vintage LV from the hubs. <3 td="">

Taking Chloe to grandma's for a visit. She was a little cramped. :/
Tackling new ingredients in the kitchen: Israeli Couscous and Fennel.
Highly recommended, I will be cooking with them both again soon!

Insta Me aghan: Long Weekend


After a long and relaxing 4 1/2 day weekend I am one happy girl. Not only did I get to catch up on my sleep and hang with my loves (man +3 dogs), I got to see some really good friends I hadn't seen in over a month.

We finally made it out in the boat, no fish and a sun kissed burn later-I'm still all smiles. :)


I made a kiwi tart last weekend, so it was time for a blueberry one. Super easy and yummy!


And of course what is a 4th of July weekend recap without some abstract looking form of fireworks!?

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and have a great week!

Insta Me aghan: Weekends Recap

So I know it's only Tuesday, but....anyone else looking forward to Thursday night and a 3 day weekend! Wooh woooot!!
Waiting for a table with my new mint pumps(I am in love) from Forever 21, and Kelsey in her mint Celebrity Pink Jeans . 


It was a rainy stormy weekend here in Saint Augustine.
I had some new crystals, so I took advantage of the cleansing rain.

A chilly evening at the beach with my current read, and watching my fiance surf.

Insta Me aghan: Wishing for Spring

Doing some Sunday morning destination wedding research over tea.
Peacock ore and my sweet home manicure. I guess you would call it floral abstract art?
Homemade mini pies
1st attempt at doughnuts, passed!

Girls night out sushi and martinis!
It's been a little while since I posted an Instagram recap on here. Wedding planning, baking, new crystals, and weekly manicures. My Instagram stores memories from most of the good things in my life. It's a rarity that something beautifully delicious or fun gets by my iPhone without a shot. Haha, anyone else have this problem? Insta-addiction?

Insta Me aghan: Doing Fall Things

Good Morning! Here's an instagram update of what has been going on lately in my world.
 Over the weekend Dee and I carved pumpkins with his brother Carlos and his girlfriend Dana. We went to a church around the corner from our house to pick our pumpkins and then made a party out of it- hot chai tea, creepy music and all. How sweet is my sugar skull carving? :)
I took a long walk with our big dog Chloe through a trail by our house. The hanging moss on the trees is gorgeous when the sunlight shines through. And how about these beauty berries, what a bright color!
After our walk and carving pumpkins I had a hot mug of apple cider and cinnamon while watching The Holiday. Now that my pumpkin is carved my brain is ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas... NEXT!
After heading to bed a little early last night, I woke up around 6:30 today and made a batch of blueberry muffins, cheater style. It was easy and at 7 AM after my 5 minute meditation (the first in a long time), it worked. :)

Do you have any morning rituals that you do before starting your day?

Insta Me aghan: Enjoying the little things



It feels like the last few weeks have just flown by. I'm constantly feeling like I can't catch up and there's so much more I would like to do in a day. Mainly relax and read, be it blogs or books.

Top to bottom, left to right:
Calamari francese, caprese salad and a leaning chocolatini from Romano's, where 
I spend my Friday and Saturday nights either hostessing or bar tending.
Chopping chocolate for the ganache on this week's Sweet Sunday post. Way better then chopping onions!
Doggy baths to make everyone smell like flowers!
A blueberry beer I enjoyed during a sunny afternoon shower.
Lunch of eggs poached in marinara sauce with a good book.
Preliminary designs on my business cards, they have been majorly revised since then and 
will be here this week, just in time for CFL Blog Conference this weekend!!

I hope you have a great day and have some time to enjoy the simple things in your life. :)

Insta- Me aghan: Dog days of Summer

It's that time of year again where every day is hot and popsicles and A/C are a requirement!

Ziggy went to go visit some new dog friends.  The top 2 pictures were on the way there,
 where he first discovered the vents; the bottom is after getting chased around for
 almost an hour by 2 dachsands in the hot Florida heat. hahah He enjoyed it though!
A little late to share, but here are my July 4th nails- gone fishin'.
We bought some cheap Popsicle molds and Dee made Horchata pops for us! Delish!

Grilled Avocado, Spinach, Pesto, Mozzerella & Goat Cheese Sandwich - Nom Nom Nom!

Peonies & Friends!! A little surprise from my love when I came home for lunch this past week. :)

Nerdy Driving Picture- You can really see the true colors of my Ombre hairstyle here.
Thank goodness for A/C!!
This was beautiful, this image is untouched, no filter and taken from my iPhone
The rays were coming through in lines like that and projecting over the entire sky.

 Follow me on Instagram @mmulligan, I love new followers as much as you! ;)
