Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites!

I am SO glad that Friday is here and that warmer weather is on the horizon!  Yesterday I left home with it sleeting outside, and now it’s supposed to be in the 70s all next week.  This crazy weather is going to make a lot of people sick!  But who has time for that?  It’s Friday and I’ve got a list of Favorites to share!


ONE

I’m so glad I gave in and bought Converse.  Even though every junior high child is wearing them, I’m wearing them too now because they really are so comfortable.  I pretty much only own skinny jeans and I needed a pair of shoes that could make an outfit casual.  I highly recommend them to everyone!

I had to go get my license updated with my new address on Monday so I could vote on Tuesday.  I totally forgot all about it until Dustin texted me at school reminding me.  And my hair looked like that.  My last license story was hilarious: I went to get my tag the morning of my sister’s wedding rehearsal so I had just left the nail salon–no make up, didn’t brush my hair,  did brush my teeth, and the lady made me get my license done before getting my new car tag.  And now this year I’ve got crazy, big hair.  #cantwin

I know I’ve talked about this before, but my daily Spark drink is a FAVORITE to start my day out with.  I love that it’s packed with vitamins and gives me that little boost to get my day going.  And it tastes great!  Right now I’m drinking mango strawberry, but watermelon is a close second.

Last Saturday I went to Anthropologie and tried on a few clothes.  I tried on this romper and immediately fell in love with it.  I’m long waisted so it’s hard to find a romper that fits me.  I didn’t buy it but thought about it all weekend.  Well, I bought it on Monday and it’s supposed to be delivered TODAY!!!  Yay!  Bring on the warm weather so I can wear this romper All. The. Time.  I mean, as soon as I put it on in the store, I immediately decided this would be a dinner outfit on the cruise in June!

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday y’all!  It’s supposed to be sunny this weekend and I feel like it’s been forever since we got any sun around these parts!  It doesn’t matter if it’s 20 degrees out–if the sun is shining then I’m in such a happy mood.

I’m linking up with Andrea for Friday Favorites today.

ONE

I used to not be a fan of candles–so strange, I know.  The only scent I liked of anything was a fresh linen scent.  Then my sister became obsessed with Bath and Body Works candles….and I did too.  The last time she and I were at BBW together, I picked up this new candle because it smelled like spring in a jar 🙂  I was able to burn it one warm day that we’ve had and am hoping to be able to burn it on Sunday after church since the high is 65!


TWO

I posted yesterday about my weight battles and my new Diet Bet game.  I got a lot of great support from other bloggers and I really appreciate y’all!  Each email I opened really encouraged me.  I have enjoyed taking control of my eating.  I’ve really realized that I let my eating get out of control and it became gluttonous–which is sinful.  I would eat even when I wasn’t hungry simply because it tasted good.  I am striving to glorify God in my body (1 Corinthians 6: 19-20) and to be healthy, so I can serve the Lord my very best.

 Since I get up super early during the work week (I’m talking 5 AM, y’all) and I eat breakfast then, by the time break comes at school at 9:55, my stomach is growling!  I’ve found a great, healthy snack that fills me up so I’m not hungry before lunch.  I have been taking a low fat vanilla yogurt and mixing it with 1/8 cup of high protein granola.  SO good!



FOUR

I’ve been getting my nails done professionally once a month and so Tuesday was my day for February!  I enjoy painting them myself, but I just need someone to clean up my cuticles.  I picked this deeper purple from OPI–unfortunately the label was removed from the bottom so I don’t know the name!

Friday Favorites!

Yay for Friday!  I’ve got lots of favorites today and one of them is the fact that we are out of school on Monday!!!!!  It’s a weather day that we haven’t had to take (thankfully) and so I’m loving the fact that I get an extended weekend 🙂

Speaking of this weekend, I am excited to finally get to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband.  Last year, for our first married Valentine’s Day we went to a wedding in Nashville. This year we’ve got reservations on Saturday night at Texas de Brazil (that I’m kind of nervous about….I hate feeling full and I know this is an all you can eat kind of place).

Here we are last year at the Hard Rock for the reception!
I surprised my FAVORITE Valentine ever with a package of sugar free pecan pies from Priester’s.  This is a place in south Alabama that we always stop at whenever we go to the beach.  The first year Dustin and I were dating, I had stopped there with my family and wandered over to their sugar free section–and I had no idea they even had that.  They had these sugar free mini pecan pies, so I bought him a ton.  After that, it’s been a Valentine tradition of mine to order a package for him.  Can you tell he was excited?
And apparently the one pecan pie he ate made him sleepy 🙂  But in all seriousness, anytime he sits in that chair, he falls asleep.  Our furniture is so comfortable that it’s always a FAVORITE!
Manly things are so attractive to me–so this is a FAVORITE sight!  He’s checking out something going on with my car.  He tried to explain it to me while we were driving, and it’s like I heard what he was saying but it just didn’t register.  Sorry Dustin!
Spontaneous little date nights are a FAVORITE
And taking pictures with my forever boyfriend are a definite FAVORITE….even when he’s tired of pictures haha!  Another FAVORITE is that I worked hard this week to get all of my assignments done yesterday, so yesterday around 4:30 I went outside to walk and walked for almost an hour!!!  It was so nice to be able to do that!
Mom and I are making another trip to Sephora right after school today….which means an Anthro trip, too.  Only because it’s my FAVORITE store in the whole wide world!
