Friday Favorites!

Happy Good Friday! We had our Maundy Thursday church service last night, so I’m currently writing this early Friday morning 🙂 I think this Holy Week has renewed an excitement in me because unlike last year, we’re getting to worship in person this year. I’m never going to take that for granted again.

Like usual, I’m going to share a few FAVORITES with you today!!!

I shared this picture on Wednesday, but I want to talk about my lip color. I’ve mentioned this lip stain before, but now I’m back to tell you IT’S MY FAVORITE EVER!!! I probably would never have been willing to try this matte lip stain if it weren’t for the unique circumstances of this past year. It all started because even though I’m teaching in a mask all day long, I still wanted to wear color on my lips so I could feel more like myself. Lipstick wasn’t cutting it because it was wiping off way too easily, so I tried this lip stain. While it does transfer a little to your mask, it has never transferred over to my face. I reapply after lunch and I’m good to go! The price is the best and I have probably 5 different colors at this point. #13 is my go-to every day color!

I didn’t think it would work for my body type, but I’ve found a pair of biker shorts that are a major FAVORITE!! These are super soft and buttery feeling and are also the perfect length–not too long (which was a worry) but also not too short. Yes, the price is a bit high but I plan on living in these once it warms up. All of my other IVL clothing has held up well so I know these will also!

I finally took Ally Love’s 30 minute Nikki Minaj class on the Peloton and it was a lot of fun! I enjoy taking Ally’s classes because she’s so motivating and fun. My favorite instructor is definitely Cody, but I also love taking classes from Ally, Jess King, Emma Lovewell, and Kendall. Ones that I never gravitate toward but still enjoy are Alex and Olivia.

Wednesday was such a gross and rainy day, and Harrison and I definitely got stir crazy staying in the house all day. Earlier in the week, Harrison had helped me make cupcakes, so I iced one to give him as a snack (which is definitely out of the norm for us!). He ate the icing and that was it haha! And as you can see, he was really enjoying himself 🙂 Everything about him is a FAVORITE!

I recently finished The Blue Bistro and it might be my FAVORITE Elin Hilderbrand book ever!! I love all of her books (except for The Matchmaker–my most disliked book of hers haha!), but The Blue Bistro was excellent! I love that her books are still chick lit, but a little deeper because her characters have real issues. This one was different than all of her others and also REALLY made me want to visit Nantucket! Dustin may not realize it, but we’re going as soon as we can haha!

Lastly, it’s weird to have a scale as a favorite, but this one really is. I bought Dustin this scale for Christmas (but we both have accounts) and it’s been extremely helpful since we’ve both been working to lose weight since Harrison’s 2nd birthday party. I love that it measures a multitude of things along with your weight–BMI, water intake, muscle mass, body fat percentage, metabolic age, etc. It also keeps a record of each time you weigh and graphs it. I can go back to the first day of our weightloss journey and the most recent time I’ve weighed and see how much body fat I’ve lost. It’s been a great purchase! You can get 20% off with this link!

I hope y’all have a wonderful Easter weekend! If you’re local, I’d love to have you worship with us on Sunday, so send me an email and I’ll send you the address to our church!
