Friday Favorites

Friday Faves!!

Happy Friday!!  How many of y’all shopped the Nordstrom Sale yesterday?  I found a pair of jeans for the school year, so I’ll report back on if they worked or not once I get them in!  This is the best time of the year to buy jeans because you can get them for half off their normal price!  And my best friend isn’t a card holder, so I grabbed a blardigan for her–I told her I was her life saver ๐Ÿ˜œ


We’ve just finished our first full week of fundraising!  For those of you who wish to donate, you can still do that through PayPal!  You can either use paypal.me/DustinShaneyfelt or you can go to the website, choose send money to a friend, and enter in this email: dshaneyfelt@gmail.com.  We are fully trusting in the Lord for people who give and we are so thankful!  I just picked up thank you notes, so I’ll be sending those out hopefully tomorrow!


And since it’s Friday, I’m sharing some of my FAVORITES with y’all!


I have LOVED looking at baby clothes–even though right now I’m only looking at gender neutral things!  I started thinking about it and I’ll have to have a whole bunch of stuff (like clothes) to take with us once our baby is born!  And I don’t want to have to spend a ton of money at once so my goal is to buy maybe one outfit or item every 2 weeks.  
I saw this on the Nordstrom website and maybe I’ll bite the bullet and buy it at some point ๐Ÿ˜œ  I think this is the MOST PRECIOUS thing ever!!  Yes, I know it’s a little expensive for a baby outfit, but I’ve spent so many years buying expensive clothes for other people for their baby showers that I just want to buy my own baby something nice ๐Ÿ˜Š



Last night was the finale of Southern Charm and Cameran is ALWASY my FAVE!!  Her sense of humor is the best and she seems to stay out of the drama (which is what I like!).  Last night just reaffirmed Ashley’s insane psychotic ways.  I don’t get how she functions in society?


Okay this is NOT a favorite–I watched the first half of Very Cavallari.  I was not impressed.  I liked Kristen’s part in the show, but her husband seemed rude and arrogant.  And I was not into watching her shop girls’ dramatic lives play out.  Anyone else feel that way about the show?


I’m heading down to Birmingham to meet up with my bestie and our college women’s minister for lunch and looking at cribs!!  I’ve got a post coming next week about baby stuff….and all the help I need from y’all!  Have a great weekend!


Friday Faves!

Happy Friday, y’all!

First, I want to thank you for your kind words regarding Dustin’s grandmother–one of the many reasons why I love the blogging community is because of the friendships formed!

Speaking of the blogging community, I am so aggravated that the comment notifications are STILL not working!  I hate not being able to respond back to everyone’s comments.  So, if you have a comment that you want me to respond to (until this stuff is fixed), please email me so I can respond to you!!  My email is saraheshaneyfelt@gmail.com.

As usual, today I’m sharing a bunch of my FAVORITES!!

 THIS is hilarious and also describes my childhood with Rachel very well haha!  Rachel was a bad child ๐Ÿ˜œ and I remember my mom telling me that SHE was the parent and I should let her parent–I’m sure I had told her to spank my sister after she did something haha!  That’s what happens when you’re 4 years older than your sister!



 Rachel and I eat lunch together every Tuesday and it’s something that I really look forward to this summer!  She had told me that day that one of her coworkers asked if I ever wore makeup because she hadn’t seen me wear it either in person or in any pictures lately haha! Rachel had to assure her that I, in fact, did wear makeup and that I wore it often…just not much in the summer.  Anyone else?  I’m not a makeup wearer unless I am going somewhere.


Speaking of not wearing makeup much, I’m trying to really take care of my skin now that I’m able to use retinols again.  I bought this cream and have been using it for over a week and I’m really pleased with it so far!  It doesn’t burn my face when I put it on (my skin is sensitive!), and once it dries, it makes my skin feel so, so good.  I hope in a couple of weeks I can see my discoloration even out.



Let me explain the next couple of photos…ever since I started teaching, I have refused to go to our local swimming pool because I didn’t want to see any students.  Middle school students are unique in their own way and I just knew that they’d see me out at the pool and put me on snapchat ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ One of my friends had been asking me to go with her and her kids and because it’s been so unbelievably hot lately, I finally gave in.  These photos are proof that I went haha!!
 Jessica’s little girl, Caroline, is the cutest!!

Caroline wanted to take a picture of us next and she did a good job!  Jessica was the first person to really welcome Dustin and I to our new church and we’ve become such great friends since then!  My pool experience wasn’t bad at all, so I may venture back with them another time ๐Ÿ˜œ



Anthropologie is having an extra 25% off their sale right now, and I spotted this online.  The extra 25% the sale price makes it a really reasonable price!



Yes, this song has been out for a while, but I can’t believe I haven’t shared it yet on a Friday Faves post!  If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with John Mayer!  I was a little iffy when he first released this after I heard the intro, but this has become a FAVORITE song!  The intro is weird, but the rest of the song is gold.

Friday Faves!!

Happy Friday, y’all!  I hate to say it, but I feel like this summer is flying by and I don’t like that one bit!  I need everything to slow down so my summer lasts much, much longer!

I’ve got a lot of FAVORITES to share with y’all today!!

My first one is this really cute tank that would be perfect for the 4th because it comes in both red and blue.  And it’s on major sale right now!!


 I really love drinking coffee–I mean vanilla lattes, and those aren’t the healthiest to drink every single morning.  I like leaving those as little treats whenever I stop by Starbucks or a local coffee shop.  But I like to have caffeine each morning whenever I wake up which is why I enjoy drinking Spark every morning since it’s only 15 calories!  My favorite flavor is the Mango Strawberry, but they just came out with a new one, Pineapple Coconut, and I’ve got to try it asap.



 Yesterday, i missed the Girl Chat linkup about favorite hair products because Wednesday was super busy, so I want to share my two faves right now.
This spray is a damage control protectant that I spray on my hair after I get out of the shower and before I brush through the tangles.  It works not only as an adult detangler, but also helps keep my blonde hair healthy from the heat tools.



I just went a little ashy with my blonde hair (the picture below is before) and I’ve wanted a purple shampoo to help keep my hair bright and blonde and not yellow and brassy.  My hair dresser told me about this purple masque (conditioner) that not only keeps my hair bright but will also keep it soft and moisturized.  So far I’ve used this product 3x and love it!  You have to keep it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing.


 I never got to write about this, but about two weeks ago I got to meet Amanda from Klein dot Co!  She was as sweet in person and she is online, and we had a great time walking around and shopping Bridgestreet!
 I snapped this while I was under the dryer during my last appointment.  Since I was changing up my blonde, it took a little bit longer.  The sacrifices we make to look good, right?! LOL!



 Tuesday after my yoga class, I met my sister for lunch at Moe’s BBQ.  We’ve decided Tuesday is going to be our weekly lunch date this summer.  Side note:  Is Moe’s BBQ a local thing or is it in other places?  They play really great music (Jimi Hendrix. DMB, Led Zeppelin) while serving only freshly made bbq.



I bought a new face cream to try at night.  I read in Good Housekeeping that they gave this brand’s retinol the award for the best drug store brand, so that was intriguing because the last tube of retinol I had cost $80+.  I’ve used this the past two nights and so far I really like it.  My skin in sensitive and this hasn’t caused me to turn red or my face to burn.  I put it all over my face, neck, and the base of my neck, and it has a nice, light and clean scent to it.  It’s supposed to help the discoloration in my face (aka sun spots) while keeping the lines at bay.  The price was the selling point!


And my weekly FAVORITE song pick is…
Aloe Blac’s newest song!!  I saw him on The Today Show yesterday sing it, and the first thing I did was try to find his new album so I could buy it.  He reminds me a little bit of Leon Bridges!
