Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, y’all!  You know, these Friday Favorites posts aren’t near as fun to write during summer break because that means I’m one more week closer to the beginning of school!  Slow down summer!


 I can’t believe I’ve forgotten to mention this on a favorites post but I LOVE watching the Duggars….especially now that it’s Counting On.  Joy’s wedding was recently featured on the premiere episode and I loved it!!  Austin is the cutest and seems so genuinely sweet.  

If I had to rank the Duggar daughters based on their wedding dresses, mine favorites would be Jessa, Jinger, Joy, and then Jill.



 I’ve recently started watching Mallory Ervin Youtube videos, and one I watched recently was on her weight loss.  She talked about her new exercise routine for burning calories fast and I’ve started doing it!  You walk at a really steep incline (without holding onto the treadmill) for at least 30 minutes.  I’ve done this about 4-5 times so far and the spike in calories burned (based on my Apple watch) is insane!  Since I’m still a beginner, I’ve been walking at a 13 incline at 3.1mph for 30 minutes.  I do increase my speed the last 5 minutes to make it a little harder.  Y’all….it’s tough!  When Mallory talked about it, I thought it wouldn’t be that hard but it is.  I also use that time to listen to podcasts!



 This workout tank is a new favorite!!  Guess where it’s from??
WALMART!
My partner teacher had the cutest tank on one day at the gym and she said it was from Walmart, so I left the gym and headed straight to Walmart to buy 2 of them!  They were under $6 each!!  I sized up to get it loose and baggy since I don’t like tight workout tanks.  The thin material makes it even better.  Run to your nearest Walmart to get this Danskin tank!  I told my best friend about it on the phone and she went and bought one and loves it too!



Tropical storm Cindy has hit Alabama and made her way up the state.  We had to get out of the house so we made a special trip to the book store to read magazines.  I could sit for hours and read magazines!



I know this is the weirdest thing ever to say but knowing that the Nordstrom sale is coming up has me dreaming about fall clothes!  I am loving the summer weather and summer break, but now I’m looking forward to wearing fall layers 😜


I posted Wednesday about my current wish list that I created for Dustin so he could know what to buy me whenever he wanted to buy me a gift!  I got a lot of feedback about the White peplum so let’s hope it looks good on my body type!

UPDATE: My sweet friend Victoria texted me to let me know this top runs small and feels cheaply made.  I will be taking this off my list, and I wanted y’all to know in case you were thinking about purchasing!

My Current Wish List

With our anniversary next month and the fact that Dustin realizes I need to be surprised with gifts since I’m always surprising him with things 😜, I’ve compiled a wish list of a few things I’m wanting as of late.  I’m happy to say that with the exception of the Lilly dress, EVERYTHING IS VERY REASONABLY PRICED!

**Not pictured are the gift cards I listed in my email to him (yes, he asks for an email of things I want ha): Sephora, JCrew, Nordstrom, Anthro, Lululemon

White peplum || even though they are such a staple piece, I never seem to have white tees in my closet!  This is a low peplum hem, so I think I can pull it off because peplum never seems to work for me.  Obviously I’m still trying for it to work since this is on my wish list haha!
UPDATE: My sweet friend Victoria texted me to let me know this top runs small and feels cheaply made.  I will be taking this off my list, and I wanted y’all to know in case you were thinking about purchasing!

Lilly dress || I’ve wanted this dress since Easter and it’s been out of stock in my size in the blue until now!

Eye Brightener || I’ve read some great things about this under eye brightener that I want to try it in place of concealer.

Sandals || I already own this style in 2 colors so I want to add more.  These would be cute to spice up a casual outfit!

Jeans || I love a good pair of jeans and the ones I’ve been buying have been really, really expensive.  I thought I’d try out a less expensive pair–it has a lot of great reviews, too!
