Friday's Favorites

Happy Friday loves! So glad the weekend is here...

This week was fairly uneventful with my regular work routine. No afternoon happy hours or celebratory lunches/dinners but that's okay with me. Quiet and routine was nice for a change.


~ K and I started a 10-day herbal cleanse earlier this week. I've been interested in trying one but I didn't seek it out. K is friendly with a Rep from Advocare who somehow convinced him to buy us the cleanse kits. Ta da! Today is day 4 and I feel fine and it's really not hard to keep up with. Nothing crazy otherwise to report. I will let you know if it made any difference after 10 days. 

~ Buddha's quote "Be where you are. Otherwise, you will miss your life" sits on my desk at work with his smiling statue. It's something to think about especially with the distraction of technology and social media. Sometimes we must enjoy the moment instead. It's something I always need to remind myself especially as a blogger.

~ Afternoon walks with Lola around the neighborhood and apparently rest breaks too. 

~ Our low-carb dinner meal plan for the week was a success. My favorite is making a Mexican chicken fiesta salad, which reminds me of Chipotle's salad but with lighter ingredients (the sour cream and dressing). So good! 

Now on to some more favorites and joining the lovely Amanda for her weekly linkup.

Favorite Fashion Find:
Cute Maxi Dresses for the spring.


Favorite Recipe:
Jessica's Mahi Tacos with Chipotle Mayo look delish!


Favorite Fashion Quote: 
Wouldn't it be nice to have it all at the same time...

Have a fabulous weekend!

    I love your Buddha (of course).

    MFD did a 24 day advocare thing and loved it. He still uses some products like spark and supplements.

    Girl, the chicken fiesta salad looks amazing. So do the mahi tacos! I love maxi dresses, but I am just too short for them to look good on me! Haha. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. :)

    Haha cute shoes are definitely a "gateway drug", it's a sickness! That salad looks delish! I make something similar for us each week for dinner, and then we each take leftovers to work the next day for lunch win-win.

    Can't wait to hear how the cleanse goes, I've always been curious but know I could never swallow those horse pills *womp womp* :-P

    Happy Friday <3

    I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the cleanse! I've been wanting to do one but there are so many that I cant narrow it down! I started an apple cider vinegar detox today so hopefully that works.

    I fall more in love with Lola every time I see here! So precious.

    I just finished the whole Advocare 24-Day Challenge and it did some impressive things to my waistline. After the cleanse your whole body just feels so good! And I agree, it really wasn't that hard to keep up with either. :)
