Friday Faves

I lost my blogging mojo the past few days. Honestly my energy was spent helping a friend in need and that's all I could handle on top of work and life in general. I almost didn't post anything today but the crisis has been averted, so to speak. Having said that my Friday Faves are going to be short and sweet. I do hope each and every one of you have a fabulous weekend!


I thought this photo was cute but I'm neither here or there about April Fool's day. Probably because I usually forget it's approaching and don't care about freaking people out.

Some things I do love and happenings from this week:

Autism Awareness
Today we're wearing blue at work in honor of World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD). WAAD was started by the United Nations in 2007 to shed a light on autism as a growing global health priority. This photo is from last year.


Favorite Beauty Purchase
I can't say enough good things about Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara. It does wonders for volumizing and lengthening eyelashes. I actually don't wear it to work because it works too well and I prefer natural looking eyelashes for everyday wear.


Healthy Recipe Alternative
I haven't had lasagna in ages but I'm determined to try out this delicious looking Zucchini Lasagna recipe from Skinny Taste.
 

Good To Know
After the holidays and then Easter tacked on to that, I found this article really helpful to get back on track and cut out some food and drinks that may cause bloating.


Favorite Photo
Only a year late but I finally got my hands on this photo of us taken on the Orlando Magic basketball court. I'm looking forward to going to another game this month even though they absolutely suck. I'll still show my face to support my city even if it's only once.



I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Don't forget to link up your travel related posts for our Wanderlust Wednesday linkup next week. It can be anything from a quick day trip to a winery/national park/museum to national and international travels. We love learning about your travel adventures!

Linking up with Amanda from Meet at the Barre.

  6. I'm so with you on April fools-- I've never been a fan! I love that your office supports World Autism Awareness Day & what a fun picture of you at the basketball game last year. Sometimes I think sporting events are still fun even when the team isn't very good :) I hope all is well with your friend & you have a restful weekend!

  14. oh, i hope everything is okay with your friend, even with the crisis averted. that lasagna looks delicious. i love better than sex! i do wear it every day, i just wear one light coat at work, and then for fun, i do a lot more lol. it's amazing. when i first got it, i didn't like it, and it was $18 or something and i was like SEE IT'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD and now i'm like I will never buy another mascara (okay yes i will, but i will always love this one!). have a good weekend!

  15. I love that mascara, but agree that it's not right for everyday use. I love Benefit They're Real for daily use. Hope everything with your friend is ok! Have a great weekend!

  16. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was a little MIA this week, but I'm slowly playing catchup! I'm glad that the crisis was averted though! I still haven't tried the zucchini lasagna! It looks so good and I think that we'd love it! I hope you have a great weekend!

  17. Awww doggie!!! I need to try that mascara! I am really liking the new Covergirl one that I got recently in my Allure box that I cant remember the name of. It works wonderful for a drug store but I like to have one high end one in the mix too! Been meaning to try zucchini lasagna, yum! Have a great weekend!
