Friday, it is about time! I am so ready for a weekend right now. Just a few more hours and we are freeee! For two days, anyways. It is supposed to be rainy and gross Sunday through mid-week so I am going to have to take advantage of today and tomorrow!
Favorite Moments:I received a super sweet package in the mail from Lindsay this week! I cant even begin to tell you how thankful I am that blogging has lead me to wonderful friends like her. I cant wait to enjoy the amazing smelling bath bomb that is inside that box!!!
I had a rough day Tuesday and I decided that I was going to stop letting shit get to me and focus on the positive. I stopped by Saigon and grabbed a Thai tea and headed back to the office with a positive attitude. Sometimes you just need a little something to push you through.
We had some delicious meals this week! We had sloppy joes over baked potatoes, taco bowls, and peanut butter chicken with thai quinoa slaw this week. Just look at those gorgeous colors in that slaw!! I will get the recipe up soon.
Favorite Recipe: How delicious do these Greek quinoa bowls look??? Thinking they need to happen for lunch next week.
Favorite Sephora Picks: The Sephora sale starts today!!! I have actually replaced a lot of things recently, and don’t really need anything right now. Doesn’t mean I am not cruising the site today to have a little looksie. Recently I splurged and got the Brazilian Bum Bum cream that I have been wanting forever. This stuff smells soooooooo amazing and makes my skin so soft!!! I highly recommend this little bit of luxury in the mornings. Totally worth it.
Some of my ride or die favorites are the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion, the Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow Stick in Sand Dune is an amazing every day color, the cult favorite NARS Orgasm Blush, full coverage Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation that lasts all day long even in the south’s awful humidity, the Elizabeth and James Bourbon Rollerball is my absolute favorite every day fragrance that is perfect for the office, and the best liquid lipstick I have ever found….Kat Von D in Lovesick. What are some of your favorites??
Favorite Lust: I am in need of some sandals, bad! I also am in need of a serious pedicure, that is neither here nor there. What are you favorite at home fixes for awful looking feet? I feel like nothing I have works anymore. Anyways, Michael Kors is one of my favorite shoe designers. They are relatively affordable for designer brand, and every pair I have ever owned are seriously comfortable and last a long time. I have my eye on these black/gold plated sandals...
And the Penelope Wedge that is on sale at Belk and Nordstroms right now. They come in a gold color, as well as black. I really like the black. I have dressier black wedges and I need a more casual pair like this.
Also, how amazing are these Carlos wedges????? They have rose gold and gold. I am leaning towards rose gold. They are such an amazing price at Nordstrom Rack! I love knowing that if I order them and they aren’t comfy, I can take them back to my local store no problems.
Favorite Funnies:
Linking up with Amanda. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

LOL the kid meme!! HAHAHAHAHA it’s 100% true, too.
i didn’t even know sephora was having a sale! time to hoard
Those wedges are so cute and isn’t it funny how just a little pick me up like a yummy iced drink can perk up The Whole day! I am sorry it’s been a rough week but Fri-Yay will make it betta!!!! Love the Sesame Street Meme! Hope this weekend treats you awesome!
So, so thankful for our friendship! Hope you enjoy that bath bomb (and some wine) this weekend. 🙂 Things will get better! You’ve got this! UGH I went overboard with the Sephora sale, and now I want half the stuff you mentioned. Have a great weekend!
I laughed way too hard at the laundry meme…because it is 100% true. Maybe I’ll even finally put the clothes that I washed, dried, and folded LAST weekend into my closet. One can dream.
I love hearing about all of the amazing things bloggers do for each other. That was so thoughtful of her! I hope your week has gotten better. All of your food always looks so amazing and I feel like I need to get more creative with our nightly meals and better at having them planned out. I hope this weekend is a good one for you and the rain holds off! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
What a sweet thing to get in the mail!! Loving both pairs of those wedges and I’m really into flatforms right now, just a bit of a wedge but not too much!! I actually decided to get a jump start on my laundry and did it last night #adulting 🙂 Have a great weekend girl! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston

I so laughed at the Caution in the wind.
I am all about anything with quinoa. That quinoa slaw looks amazing too!!!!
Such a sweet little surprise!! And yes, that tea can cure any ailment! I almost fell on the floor with that caution to the wind meme. You have always had the best memes!! Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!
Hah! Love the caution to the wind, and Winter storming back in over and over…seriously, leave us alone, Winter! I hope you can get some new, cute shoes. I really need some new ones too. 🙂

That ernie meme made me l-o-l 🙂
I really want those wedges in the gold!
omg LOL at that meme about staying up too late and then being tired af– that’s definitely us right now, lol. That’s such a sweet gift from Lindsay! I totally thought that the picture of the slaw was sprinkles on a cake or cupcake at first glance, lol.
Such a sweet package in the mail from Lindsey! Surprise mail days are the best! I hope you enjoy this weekend even though the weather is supposed to be crappy….it is here as well all weekend so I’m trying to think of all the productive things I should do but probably won’t. lol Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
That meme about getting into bed needs to find it’s way to my husband, he’s already so worried about Serena as a teenager – ha! Love that sweet package from Lindsay, a great pick-me-up when you need it most. And that Thai tea looks DELISH! Enjoy every second of your weekend sweet friend <3
All your food sounds sooo good. And I love those black wedges!!
Hope you have a great weekend!!
Your funnies are always so funny! 🙂 Why do I always look so much better in the mirror than on camera?
Oh what a sweet gift! I was so bad at the Sephora sale. Gets me every time. I love the Bum Bum cream, it smells so good! You will be so happy with it.
I’m LOVING the bumbum cream!
Now I really want that bum bum cream. Good for you on treating yourself with the Thai tea. Sometimes you just need that little pick me up. I am trying sloppy joes over a baked potato. Yum!!
Sloppy joes on potatoes?! That is amazing. I’ve never thought to do that.
It’s the weekend and time to do laundry… YUP!!!! Hate that.
