Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, y’all! I’m back at school today after being off for two days because poor Banks tested positive for RSV Wednesday. Dustin is home today with him. It’s always so sad when your babies are sick.

As usual, I’ve got a few FAVORITES to share with y’all today!!!!

one

This is literally my #1 FAVORITE for this week! I read this book in 3 days–which for me and my crazy schedule, is a big deal. I love Amy Lea’s adult books so much, so when she recently published this YA novel, I wondered how her writing would translate. In short–she did PHENOMENAL! I was so obsessed with this storyline that I didn’t want it to end. It’s like a 13 going on 30 plot except the main character, Charlotte, is 17 and after a fall, wakes up engaged to her biggest enemy from high school. I LOVED this story so much! I would let my 8th grade daughter read it and I’m recommending it to everyone I know–if you end up reading it, let me know what you think!

I just recently finished my setting powder I’ve been using and let me say, I love this stuff more than the Laura Mercier translucent powder that I used to use–and this is about 1/3 the price! I apply this over my concealer to set it, or if I’m not wearing concealer, then I apply it under my eyes and on any area that tends to get a little oily. I saw this recommended from a make up artist I follow on IG and this product did not disappoint–time to buy again!

I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday and had my first ever gluten free birthday cake since this is the first birthday that I’ve know about my gluten allergy. I was nervous (and a little sad too) about getting a gf cake because most gf baked goods are gross. But this cake was AMAZING!!! Dustin even said he might want his next birthday cake from the bakery that made my cake because it seriously is so good–which works in my favor haha! This is the vanilla birthday cake flavor but I was also considering the snickerdoodle or wedding cake flavor.

I’ve had some questions about my lip color, so I thought I’d share it here since I pretty much wear this combination year round. I line my lips with Soar and then I also do a rough color in of my lips in order to keep my lipstick on longer–that’s the key. Then I put on my lipstick, which is Fabby. Here’s the good news: BOTH OF THOSE ARE ON SALE!!!

My mom got me this book for my birthday and I’m excited to dig into it! It covers daily habits like work, screen time, discipline, etc, so I can’t wait to read and hopefully implement new habits and rhythms.

I hope y’all have a great weekend! And if you don’t follow me on instagram, follow along here!
