Friday Faves

Happy Friday friends!

I have to admit it wasn't the best week for me. I'm not going to go on about it but I'm ready for a break this weekend. I do believe brighter days are ahead!

In much better news, K and I have been planning and finalizing some of our trips for 2016 and four have been booked so far. Can you guess where we're going? 


On Wednesday, my company had an Empanada food truck visit the office and give out free empanadas for all employees. So delish!



I've said this before but the mornings are not my favorite beast to tackle. I'm just not a morning person but I found some tips from this article were useful.



I've been warming up to one piece swimsuits and I found these two beauties at Target. Both I would definitely wear.





This Avocado Caprese Skillet Chicken recipe is on my radar for dinner next week. I love an excuse to eat more avocados.


One thing I do every weekend is plan my meals ahead for the upcoming week. This also ensures that I don't overbuy at the grocery as I tend make impulse purchases (still do sometimes) but this free printable has been handy to keep my meal planning organized.



Do you do weekly meal planning? How do you stay organized?


Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

  10. Sorry for the crapper of a week. I hate them.

  11. So excited for your trips-- not sure where the photos are from (maybe Toronto for the last one?) I a definitely going to check out that article because I'm not a morning person either. Anyway, I hope you a good weekend to make up for a not so great week.

  12. I really like the blue suit and I tell myself I am going to get one but I don't want the tan lines from it :/

    Hope your week gets better and judging by the look of your trips. One thought is Vegas, another is FL keys?

  13. Sorry you had such a rough week, sending you some more *hugs*. Target has been killin' it as usual, and they are making one-pieces a thing again. Definitely picking up one or two for myself! And yay for all your trips! I know most of the locations, so my guesses are Denver, Jamaica, St. Augustine, and Seattle. Am I right?! Happy Friday gurlie <3

  15. I love those printables! They look so incredibly for meal planning and taking stock of what you already have! That's so exciting that you have some places already booked for trips this year, and I can't wait to hear where you already decided on going! Do I see Denver in one of your pictures?

  20. We loosly meal plan dinners at our house. We will go through Pinterest and pick a few meals and then grocery shop from that. We usually make a little extra so I can take leftovers for lunch too.

    Your vacation spots look fabulous!
