Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites 01I decided to take the week off from blogging. It was so nice BUT I missed all of you!

Today, I’m linking up with these beauties: Erika, Narci and Andrea. I guess I did some shopping on my week off. 😉 Take a peak!

One.I got this shirt and love it! It can be worn so many different ways and to be honest, the picture doesn’t do it justice for how cute it is!

Two.Christmas FireplaceI started Christmas shopping and I’m way too excited about it! I wanted to start early and take advantage of my extra time this summer so i can enjoy the holiday season a little more. 😉 Christmas in July anyone?

Three.

These leggings from the Loft are on sale right now!

Four.

I got the best massage yesterday. I think I may still be in heaven. 🙂

Five.I bought this shirt before leaving for Colorado, thinking it would be a good summer shirt. It’s become my favorite summer shirt and I completely underestimated just how much I would wear it. As in, I would reach for it everyday if I didn’t see the same people several days in a row. 😉 I went back for two more last weekend in grey and white!

*I go to the store to buy these since they are normally in stock there!*

Have the best Friday and be sure to check back on Monday for my Lemon Lara Bar recipe!

Friday Favorites

Settle in ladies because it’s Friday Favorites with Erika, Narci, and Andrea!

One.

Ladies…you gave me great suggestions and I ended up getting this sunscreen! It’s sold in most drugstores and can be ordered online. I didn’t want to spend a fortune but I wanted something that would be healthy for my skin. Here’s the answer! 😉

I’ve talked about my love for Lara Bars and that love just keeps growing. I decided to try to make my own and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you! You can see the sneak peak here!

This video was so fun to put together and sum up our vacation! We loved visiting Colorado! 🙂

We ordered a cocktail shaker (instead of our makeshift mason jar with holes) and it showed up on our doorstep with no lid. Soooo we tried again and got this one that works great!

I also love these for a different look:
