Happy weekend! It’s been another exciting week for the Pretty & Fun team — Cait has been traveling all over the place (did you catch her NYC pics?!) and I’ve had my hands full with lots of freelancing work. This weekend, my brother and his girlfriend are visiting me in D.C. and I can’t wait to show them some of my favorite spots and eat all the good food — before our 5K on Sunday that is! It’s so fun to host houseguests and play tourist for a few days. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
