FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday! Although this week has certainly flown by, I am more than ready for the weekend! We've got a few fun things to look forward to as well as some things I need to get done around the house.

It's Restaurant Week in our new city which means you can try any of the participating restaurants and enjoy a 3 course lunch or dinner for a fraction of the price. I have enjoyed going through the prix fixe
menus to see which one we want to try (which are several!). Note to self, I better make reservations today! But first, I've got a fun list of all the things I have been loving lately!

My favorite thing this week was definitely going out for a girls night with my friend Emily. We are fortunate that her and her family also live in the same city and it was so nice to catch up with her! We ate at Mamma Luisa, a local Italian favorite,  and it was very good, and we had excellent service! For dessert we picked up some treats at a candy shop and then headed back to her place. We decided we need to have girls night a few times a month!

Our rental has a small office space and I was thrilled when my hubby said I could have the space and decorate however I want. I love all of the natural light and the french doors!! It also has a built in desk with lots of storage! I am almost done with the decor but I want to add a small rug and I am looking to replace the pillows with some smaller ones. I will post all the details once its complete!

During our move, I lost my beloved dry shampoo. I was looking for a more affordable replacement recently and the lady at Ulta suggested this one for my darker hair. I didn't want to commit to a full size bottle so I picked up a smaller one to try out. So far so good! I do want to add that I saw some full size bottles at our local TJ Maxx store for $7.99!

I had only heard good things about a local donut place (Ma's Donuts) and when my husband surprised me with a box this week, I decided I am a fan! It might have to be a regular thing for us. I especially loved their coconut cake donut! 

Well, that's all I've got! Have a great weekend!

FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hi all! Long time no see! The past couple of months have been a whirlwind! We packed up our home, rented it out, drove cross country (visited family along the way), moved into a rental house (tour coming soon), and have been getting settled here in the Northeast. I have never been to this part of the country but I am enjoying it so far. There is so much to do and I am really looking forward to writing all about our time here. I have several ideas for posts in the coming weeks but today I want to write about things I am loving lately.

I stopped in a $5 and below store recently and came upon this workout dice. I'm currently trying to come up with a workout routine and I think this will come in handy. 

I am loving my new wallet! I got this as a super early birthday gift (that's a thing right?) 

We've found and a church and I joined a women's bible study this week and it's a favorite this week. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a new study!

Hubby and I started watching this show and we are hooked! Really makes you think about healthcare these days!

Absolutely loving this song! It's Hillsong's "So Will I". I can't help but get emotional when I hear it!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend! 

FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday ya'll! I am loving today because my husband is off for the holiday weekend! The sun is out and we are planning on a chill day (per his request) and I am ok with that! We have a low key weekend but I am hoping to complete most, if not all of my Christmas shopping. A girl can dream right?!? I've got some goodies on today's Friday Favorites list that I am truly loving right now!

ONE

This sweater from Costco! Let me tell you, I have worn it like 5 times in the last week. It is super soft and very comfortable. I think its versatile and can be worn for lounging or paired with some fun sneakers for a more casual look. I am hoping to add more colors to my collection!

TWO

Pumpkin bread mix, also from Costco. Just a handful of ingredients and very moist and delicious! 

THREE

This show was recommended by Emily and we are hooked! We love military shows and this one does not disappoint. If you haven't watched it already you need to check it out!

FOUR

Happy 242nd Birthday Marines! My husband and I are both Marines so today is a day for celebration in the Marine Corps community. Semper Fi! 

FIVE

I recently got these as an early Christmas gift (there is such a thing in my world!). I think these are going to be put to good use especially when we relocate to a colder place next year. I will be freezing in style :)

  

Have a great weekend!
