Friday Favorites
It’s the first week back from vacation, and I went from feeling completely on to of things to completely behind on everything! Am I the only one that feels this way?
But it’s Friday, and I have some favorites to share! Here we go! Grab some coffee and energy bites to power through to the weekend friends!
One.
First thing’s first. We might be ordering this in the very near future because we fell in love with espresso. Of course it tasted extra delicious in Italy but I’m thinking it might be a fun memory whenever we sip it at home? Does anyone own one? Recommendations?
Two.
Before we left for Italy, I was doing a lot of research on Collagen PeptidesΒ and how it helps your body. Fast forward to Italy, and although we ate some amazing food, we ate a lot of pasta and bread that my body isn’t used to. I decided to get my butt right back into gear after we got home and I ordered some! It promotes youthful skin, healthier hair, and stronger nails, while keeping your bones strong and healthy.
It comes in powdered form, which was perfect for putting into two (one. two–on this smoothie I left out the protein powder) of my smoothies this week. You can’t even taste it! I’m going to try using it while baking next week also! So far, I love it! You can buy it here! Send me a message if you have any other questions! π
Three.It’s our second anniversary on Monday, so we have a nice little weekend planned to celebrate! Gosh, I love him! But the real anniversary gift for us was Capri! You can see the post here! I’ll be recapping Tuscany and Florence next week!
Four.You can see my best recipes here! My Homemade Lemon Larabar recipe is by far my most popular pinned recipe! You can follow me on Pinterest and see the recipe here!
Five.
My best friend got me a tea towel at a local store (she knows me well!) that has little manners written all over it. Plus, it has a linen texture, which I love! This isn’t the exact one she got me but it’s the closest I could find and wanted to share! You can buy it here! Isn’t it cute?!
Happy Friday everyone!! Have the best day!

Going to Italy definitely makes you want to buy an espresso machine! There is something just so relaxing about starting your day with espresso! Hope you find a good machine if you do decide to buy!
Also, for your energy bites, do you have any recommendations for the type of flaxseed to use? I was thinking about making some of them. They look perfect for eating as a snack on the go!
Hope you have a happy anniversary weekend!

Right?! It’s addicting when we had it multiple times a day!
I have always used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Brown Flaxseed Meal. It’s better for digestion (rather than the whole seeds) and can’t be tasted quite as much. Plus, the health benefits are better. π It’s at most grocery stores or online. I’ll put the link below for you!

I love that you guys got a chance to get away for your anniversary! We don’t do gifts, we do trips, too. Our 3 years is next month and we are off to Bali..I can’t wait! Florence is one of my favorite cities in the world so I can’t wait to read more π

Happy Anniversary! We have a little stovetop espresso maker and love it!! It fits the bill without taking up additional counterspace. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
