Friday Favorites

January 8, 2016

Happy first-real-weekend-of-2016!  Jumping back into the real world on Monday was tough, but also kind of refreshing.  It felt nice to get back into a routine, and to continue implementing some new habits.  I hope you all have a relaxing couple of days ahead!

I am linking up with April, Natasha, and Christina; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Five on Friday, Oh Hey Friday!, and Friday Favorites.

If you missed my recent posts, here is a quick line-up:

  • 2015 Year in Review
  • New Workout Plan + Workout Clothes
  • Gluten Free Honey Polenta Cornbread
  • Recent Outfits: His + Hers

Now onto my five current favorites:

ONE: I am currently Caesar salad-obsessed! I’ve made it for dinner twice in less than a week. I have a recipe coming next week of how to make a Caesar salad from scratch at home, and then turn it into a chicken caesar salad collard green wrap.  SO good and very healthy!  Stay tuned for that.

p.s. The leftovers from the Gluten Free Honey Polenta Cornbread I posted earlier this week worked to make some yummy croutons for the salad!

TWO: If you follow me on instagram, you probably saw that we had a photoshoot for Honor Roll Designs with our business partners/crew/bffs last week.  We wanted to show some various ways that our shirts can be styled. Some of us (ahem, myself) were awkward and goofy, and we laughed a TON.  And some of my friends are just natural models!  I will post more photos next week, but here is my favorite group shot. 🙂

Honor Roll Designs; Friends t-shirt; Chicago Bulls t-shirt; Seinfeld t-shirt; Warriors t-shirt; Spurs t-shirt

THREE: For my birthday last week, Todd took me out to lunch.  I picked Luna’s Living Kitchen!  I had never eaten there, but we really enjoyed it.  That chai coconut milk latte?!  I am majorly craving another one!  I will certainly go there again.

Later that night, Sarah and my girlfriends, organized a girls’ night for us.  Girl talk, tacos, beers, yoga pants, painting nails…perfection!

FOUR: I have a current vacation dream that I just cannot get out of my head…30A Florida!  I’ve never been and now I’m dying to go.  Now to find an affordable rental. (I’m on a mission!)

30A Florida

FIVE: Absolutely.

Life is tough, my darling, but so are you

 

I hope you all have fantastic weekends! xoxo

    Love those shirts, especially the Seinfeld one! Huge Seinfeld fans in our house. I’ll have to check them out! And I hear you about craving a vacation…and it’s even cold yet, and I already am longing to get away. Happy Friday! Kristine @ mywesternnest.com

      I’m so glad you like it! They’re pretty fun shirts…and great conversation starters 🙂 I’m so much more of a Summer person than Winter! Have a great weekend, Kristine!
