Friday Faves


This was the first cold weekend in Florida and it was nice to bring out the boots and scarves however I don't have many warm pants other than jeans. Recommendations? I'm looking forward to another fairly quiet weekend with lots of R&R which sounds like perfection. I'm finally back on track with the work/blogging/personal life balance after the crazy holidays which is definitely good for the soul. So how about some faves for this week...

Favorite Article:
Ashley from The Grits Blog talks about her Blogging Pet Peeves and I couldn't agree with her more, especially #1.


Favorite Purchase:
This dainty silver leaf bangle bracelet from Express goes so well with my watch and has gotten lots of compliments.


Favorite Recipe:
This Healthy Kung Pao Chicken with brown rice recipe looks so good. I'm a big fan of stir-fry recipes and love trying different combinations of meat and veggies.


Favorite Holiday Gifts:
I didn't post much around the Christmas long weekend but two of my favorite gifts were both from K and I'm in love!

#1: Marc Jacobs 'Decadence' Perfume
Smells amazing! Definitely my favorite new perfume on the shelves.



#2: Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Styler 
This is seriously a life-changer for me. My hair is very thick so it takes a long time to wash and dry which has always been a dreaded "chore" of mine. This brush/hair dryer combo has cut that time down significantly and I absolutely love hoow it styles my hair. I give it a 9 out of 10 because it could have more heat settings but otherwise it works wonders.

Favorite Funny:
Me everyday.


Have a great weekend lovelies!

  12. That happens to me all the time! I'm looking for the adult, and then realize that it's me. Growing up is no fun! Hooray for finally having cooler weather in Florida! We had some more this week, and I loved wearing tights and booties and all those fun cold weather clothes! That bracelet from Express is so cute! It looks like it'll pair well with so many different outfits!

  16. Ohhhh.....so looking into that dryer for my daughter. She absolutely hates having her hair brushed and dried. And that quote...lol...I love it! I seriously was laying in bed last night thinking about how I perceive myself as about 28 years old...but my oldest child is 25 and that is just weird. haha

  19. Love your bangle! I need to try that dryer! I have super thick hair too, so it sounds amazing! It takes me forever to style right now.

  20. I am with you on having thick hair. It literally takes me half hour-45 minutes to get my hair completely dry and I haven't got time for that. Definitely going to invest in that brush.
