Favorite Song: I am digging The Hills by The Weeknd (leaving out the “e” is hard!)
Favorite Snack: I’m in love and I don’t care who knows!!! Australians have been keeping Tim Tam their thing for years. Well, they have finally made their way to US stores and I am stoked! I received a box of them free from BzzAgent last weekend and you can guess how quick these disappeared. Holy yum!!! You can find these at Target! Like you need another excuse to go, right???
Favorite Moment: Laura and I went to the fall beer tasting at Hop City on Tuesday night! I think I found my new favorite pumpkin beer, Boulevard’s Funky Pumpkin! It was freaking amazing!!!! We failed at getting a selfie but we did get the beer, because duh!
Favorite Lust: I am loving the long cardigans like this one from the Loft!
–Are you Gen X or Millenial? Take the quiz and find out! I am obviously Gen X.
–Have you ever spotted a gray hair? Oh, me neither. But if you were ever curious about what is fact and false about grays then you should check out this article.
–Having breakout problems? You aren’t alone!!! I found some of these tips helpful.
Oh, hey Friday!!!! Notice a little color change going on up top? Don’t adjust your screens. I have been playing around with my design. I have that itch to change something and thought the easier thing is accent color. Anywho, it is time for Friday Favorites!!!
Favorite Song: We were watching some old reruns of HIMYM and the episode with the flashback of Marshall came on…
When was the last time you heard Informer by Snow?? It is still full of awesome.
Favorite Beauty: I received a bottle of YSL Black Opium from Influenster and I am in love!!! Besides the fact that the packaging is just gorgeous, I think that this scent is really appropriate for fall! It is sensual, with scents of sandalwood, coffee, white flowers and vanilla. It isn’t overpowering so you can wear it for work or a night out. My only complaint is that I feel that it fades towards the end of the day. Though to be honest, don’t most fragrances? I will be happily displaying this beautiful bottle in my bedroom. Love, love, love!
Favorite Recipe: This Spicy Cashew Chicken looks amazing, right???
Favorite Lust: I need new pants, bad! I am thinking maybe these. Or these. And Amanda said great things about these. What is your go to brand?
Favorite Event: Laura and I went to the 10th Anniversary Party at Swoozies here in Birmingham on Wednesday night. We were in the top 25 to RSVP so we got swag bags!!! I love the gold color and the fact that there are elephants on it!!! I will say that I really thought there would be fun stuff inside it, but it was empty. Boo!
While we were there I grabbed a Corkcicle bottle. Have you seen these?
It says that they keep your drink cold for 25 hours or hot for 12 hours. They are BPA free and do not sweat. I am in love!!! I poured my water with some ice at 7:15am and when I pulled it out for lunch at 12:20pm it was freezing cold still!!! YES!!!! Plus it is so pretty 🙂 I found myself drinking twice the amount of water I usually do throughout the day because I like my water cold, not room temp. This bottle is a huge win.

–Michael had a great post about Stylebook and how she organized her closet and got rid of things she doesn’t love. This is something that I have been working on this year. She did such a great job on her post that it made me purchase the app!!! You can ask Chris, I never buy apps. It was that good.
–I sent this article to Chris for goals of our next home!
Obviously I am a huge Pug fan since Gracie is a Puggle, it says:
It’s been said that you have to have a sense of humor to have a pug, and pug lovers definitely do. People who love pugs enjoy laughing and are overall very cheery, positive people. They’re not always the most sporty (or coordinated), but that’s okay. They adore being pampered and taken care of, just like their furry counterparts. Pug lovers are open-minded and tend to be on the artistic side.
I do love to laugh and keep an open mind!!!

Favorite Lunch: I went to Whole Foods yesterday for their spicy tuna brown rice quinoa sushi. It is amazing. I mean, just look at it!!!
Favorite Beverage: While I was at Whole Foods, I wanted something fun to drink. Enter in this Strawberry Lemonade! YUM!! They had a blackberry flavored one too that I will have to try next time.
Favorite Recipe: This honey sriracha chicken looks amazing, right??? I want to try it but would use chicken breast. I am not a dark meat fan.

Favorite Song: Try Again by Aaliyah When was the last time you heard this song? It’s a great one and speaks the truth. If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again.
It also reminds me of this…
Favorite Recipe: I think these baked zucchini sticks with sweet onion dip would be the perfect healthy game day snack to tone it down some!
Favorite Snack: Have you tried the Sea Salt Roasted Chickpeas? These things are delicious!!! I had tried the chipotle lime ones a year or so ago and wasn’t impressed but these….these are awesome!!
Favorite Lust: Has anyone tried the Too Faced foundation yet? I really love Too Faced eye make up but haven’t tried any face products. I would love to know your thoughts! I am about half way through my Make UP Forever Matte foundation and I don’t know if I love it like I used to.

This weekend is going to be one of bad decisions. Mainly bad food decisions. We are heading to Breakin’ Bread on Sunday and I had the best time last year, so I know it won’t disappoint!! Basically 35 of the best restaurants around Birmingham will be having unlimited tastings all in one place. Birmingham peeps, if you have’t gotten your tickets already…well then I am not sure what you are doing with your life!
Favorite Song: I Can’t Stop Drinking About You by Bebe Rexha. I think this song is about a year old maybe? I don’t know but it is Friday and it fits!
Favorite Treat: I tried macaroons for the first time. I know, I know. I live under a rock, I am sorry! But seriously, these were delicious! I loved that they weren’t overly sweet. I went safe with vanilla and strawberry. What are your favorite flavors?
Favorite Moment: Getting to see my sweet, sweet friends to honor our mommy to be at her baby shower on Saturday! And also getting to see Courtney who flew back from Texas for the shower! I didn’t get to recap my weekend because it was quite busy. It included some delicious foods at the baby shower Saturday, followed by a little football, Chris’s car battery dying on Sunday, me missing another baby shower 🙁 and starting Friends from the very beginning Sunday evening while cooking a late dinner, Browned Butter Sage Sweet Potato Gnocchi.
Let me know if you want me to share the brown buttered sage gnocchi recipe next week!
Favorite Beauty Product: I have been wearing Lancome’s Optic Sheen for years. YEARS!!! Mine ran out this week and it made me so sad. I ran by the Lancome counter at Belk but they were out. The lady said they may be doing away with this color because a lot of stores were out of it. Noooooo. I am going to snag one online before it’s gone, you should too!
Favorite Lusts: I really want to snag a couple of fall dresses. I don’t really have any and that is a crime, right? I really like this little number that is on sale right now!
Oh and this one because fall doesn’t have to be boring….
