Friday Favorites

We made it over that hump and I'm crashing right into the weekend. Lots of relaxing, a beach day, and hopefully more relaxing is in store. This week was super busy at work. I worked until 10pm some nights leaving no time for relaxing or family time. I envision tonight looking like what you see below...except with a glass of wine in hand (of course) and maybe a side smile.


I loved having two of my favorite girls visit me recently and I spent most of the week missing them after they left and I returned to my mundane (yet crazy busy) schedule.


Joining Amanda for some favorites on this Friday....

Favorite Article:
I stumbled upon the Wandering Mon and her article about 11 Things You Learn Living on an Island. Let me tell you, she knows what she's talking about. It made me miss home but not really in some other aspects.


My additional two cents is that Coconut water cures everything. Not the crap you get here in the store. Real coconut water from a coconut, nothing added. I truly believe it cures most of my ailments.. stomach troubles, headaches, lethargy, hangovers...you name it.

Favorite Shopping Finds:
I'm loving all of the cute swimsuit coverups I posted about yesterday. I think I made my decision to purchase this Lattice-Back Cover Up by Jessica Simpson for our summer Vegas trip since we plan to spend the day at the pool for 4th of July.
Favorite Recipe:
I need to make these Slow Cooker Tacos Al Pastor asap. Sounds like a great Sunday night dinner.  

Lola's Favorites: 
Treats of course! She can't get enough of the Wellness Core Grain-Free Protein Bars from Chewy.com. We got two types to try but her favorite were the Chicken & Turkey with Sweet Potatoes.

That's all I have for today...

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

  3. Cute cover-up! I've heard amazing things about coconut water but have never tried the real stuff, only the bottled supermarket kind. Hope you have a great weekend!

  13. Mark's parents always tell me that! "Not that crap you buy from the store" Every time I go to their house they always make me drink coconut water ;-)
