Friday Favorites


This was the sunset I caught in my neighborhood last night arriving home from work. Absolutely breathtaking! I also posted a live video on SnapChat if you follow me (emilyalisonb).

This week was the coldest one for the year so far. While I don't mind a break from the heat, I seem to get shocked by everything I touch when it gets cold outside ~ every door handle, the gas pump, my car, and sometimes other people. Back in UCF days, I remember stepping into the campus shuttle and getting shocked by the railing to walk up the stairs and yelling "F*#%" in front of a bus full of people. It wasn't pretty! So I guess that's my pet peeve when it comes to cold weather but on a brighter note, how about some faves for the week?

ONE

K left on Sunday morning for work and returns today so lots of "me time" was had this week...or shall I say "Lola and me time" because she requires all the attention. Either way it was nice to rule the remote and get caught up on my shows.



TWO

These Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are on my radar to make at home. I've ordered lettuce wraps before at restaurants but it's about time I try my hand at making them for a healthy weeknight dinner.


THREE

I stumbled on the Look Human online shop this week via Pinterest and love all of their cute tops and sweaters with fun sayings/designs such as this Mascara & Mimosas pullover sweater.
FOUR

National Popcorn Day was celebrated at the office on Tuesday. I'm just thankful it wasn't national chocolate or cheesecake day because diet out the window.


FIVE

I loved reading this article about Meditation for Beginners and really want to incorporate some meditating into my routine to clear my mind and relax since work and life can be stressful. Kerri also talks about her Meditation Journey here which is a good read.


Enjoy the weekend!

Linking up with my fellow Florida girl Amanda for her Friday Faves linkup.

  11. I saw you and Kerri post that picture of the sky and it was absolutely gorgeous! Chris was out of town this week too, and even though I missed him not being home, I really enjoyed my me time! It gave me the perfect opportunity to get all caught up on The Bachelor and Real Housewives! Hope you have a fantastic Friday, and I can't wait to "meet" you tomorrow!

  16. I know, right? Isn't it kinda nice to have the alone time every now and again? I can put on the Kardashians without my husband going "how can you watch this?" every.effing.second. Ugh, shut up! I didn't even know it was National Popcorn Day but I'm all for it. We make popcorn at home all the time! it's truly my favorite stuff in the world. And definitely gonna try those Buffalo Lettuce Wraps. YUM.

  17. I have incorporated meditation in my life too, I downloaded this free app called Headspace and it's great, just 10 mins a day to just clear your mind is wonderful and freeing! Me time/Lola time sounds divine so soak it all up! I need to try that lettuce wrap, it looks delicious and healthy! Have such a wonderful weekend friend!

  19. Your office totally knows how to celebrate - sad that I missed National Popcorn Day since it's one of my favorite snacks, but I have a feeling it'll be on the menu this weekend when we're all hunkered down for the snowstorm!
