The weekend is HERE! My husband is finally home from a long trip, I am attending a culinary competition today, and we have a date night tonight!
I’m happy to be linking up with April, Natasha, and Christina; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Five on Friday, Oh Hey Friday!, and Friday Favorites.
I think the drab, snowy weather has made me crave color. Here are my bright 5 Favorites this week!
ONE: These DIY marble and gold coasters. I am determined to plan a girls’ craft night and make these! I am not terribly crafty, but I think we’d have fun trying! And it would be even more fabulous if they turn out like this!
TWO: You know what added cheer to my week? This avocado! How silly is that?! Beautiful produce is kind of like fresh flowers in my book. Davis and I actually “fought” over this perfect avocado. Ha!
THREE: Target does it again! Davis and I went to Target the other night (because #stircrazy) and I spotted these fun bags! I also saw that adorable, bright pillow and almost instinctly threw it in my cart. If I had somewhere to put it, I would have bought it for sure!

FOUR: The Carolinas are all about our Panthers right now! Super Bowl 50, here we come!! While on our target shopping spree I found this teal/turquoise nail polish (Essie Garden Variety) that is pretty darn close to Panthers blue! It will also be perfect for Spring and Summer pedicures!
FIVE: Speaking of the PANTHERS! I am seriously so excited! I posted on Monday about our new t-shirt design in the etsy shop honoring some of the Carolina Panthers greats. It has been flying off the shelf, which is amazing, and we still have a few available. Since the Super Bowl is coming soon, I have been planning food and drinks to make! This one isn’t Panthers blue, but it’s almost black, and the ingredients would be great for a co-ed crowd! Black-beery Whiskey Smash
I also wanted to say that I have truly loved blogging lately. I have received so many encouraging comments, which is fuel to keep writing. THANK YOU ALL FOR READING! I appreciate you so much! Have a wonderful weekend!

Well I can definitely say my team was no where close to being in the playoffs (cough cough cowboys, yikes). And that drink looks delicious, I might have to try it!

Those coasters are so cute! And that pillow from target— heart eyes!! I’m new to your blog and will keep reading! I’ve been slacking with my blog but since January have been giving it much more time and energy and I love it too!
sevenlayercharlotte says
Thank you, Paige! I will definitely check yours out! And gosh, if I had a place for that pillow, it would’ve come home with me immediately! Happy Thursday 🙂

So many things to say. 1) Those coasters are goregous! And, I’m going on a weekend trip/staycation soon with all of my Nashville girlfriends. I think this would be so much fun to do! 2) Andrew and I just made up a whiskey/blackberry cocktail from a recipe similar to the one you posted and it. was. awesome. 3) I love the blog. Don’t stop writing because it’s saved under my faves.
sevenlayercharlotte says
Neely, I mean to reply sooner. The staycation sounds amazing – and of all people, I think you could totally handle that craft! Now I am more motivated to make that whiskey cocktail. 🙂 And your encouragement to keep blogging made my day. You’re the best. Thank you for always reading and commenting! LOVE YOU
