Friday Favorites - August 19, 2022

It's Friday! It has been really warm this week and we might get some rain this weekend! How has your week been going? I'm sharing some the things this week that brought a little joy to me. 

A Salon Appointment 

I try to go every 6 - 8 weeks and get a partial foil highlight and every other time, I get a cut too. The cut was long overdue. I use purple brightening shampoo once a week or so to keep away the brassy tones. 




A Clean Garden

My summer garden was done and the plants were dry and crispy. The drought and heat really made gardening difficult this year. I cleaned it all up and now I am ready for fall planting! I LOVE starting with a blank slate!




Podcasts

I have listened to The Lazy Genius, hosted by Kendra Adachi, for a several years now. I get so many hacks for how to better streamline my life, home, work life, social, etc. Her latest episode #275 What's Saving My Life Right Now has something for everyone. Kendra gives such great advice for optimizing your life to find time for what is important. It's worth the listen! 

Friends

We have used the same veterinarian for years and have become great friends with her. She's always willing to lend a helping hand! Yesterday, our new horse had a little accident and ripped his nose, so we texted her a picture immediately. She called and said meet me at the clinic, so about 8:00 last night she started fixing him up. He's all stitched up and back home; we may have to bubble wrap this guy! He was such a good boy throughout his whole treatment with the doctor. 











I hope y'all have a fun week!

This week I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites!

Friday Favorites - August 8

  Happy Friday Friends! I've done absolutely terrible at life photos lately, but I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm loving in my life right now.  #1 Baccarat Rogue Room Spray I bought this room spray for my office and it's a pretty dead ringer for this high end luxury perfume. It makes my glum office feel a little more luxe. Two sprays is all it takes and it smells good for hours. They also have a candle. I got it awhile back and they've since had to remove the word Baccarat, but this is the same product just new packaging.  #2 Spotify Playlist Also office related, but this is also a favorite in home playlist of mine. The Spanish Guitar Instrumentals is just great background music. No words, but relaxing guitar. Makes me feel like I'm a fancy resort on the shores of the Caribbean. I also put my air pods in at the office and play this. It drowns out some of the noise from the fab shop.  #3 Caroline Girvan's App (CGX) I've done two rounds of Carol...

Friday Favorites - September 12

Happy Friday Friends! It has been awhile since I've updated, but I have a few things to share.  #1 Fishing in Canada      We had a whirlwind adventure to Minnesota then to Canada! We were invited by friends living in Minnesota to join their fishing trip to Savant Lake in Ontario. We flew into MSP, spent a few days hanging out at our friend's ranch in Buffalo, MN, then we caravanned up to Savant Lake. We stayed at Cliff & Roma's Wilderness Camp. Most people go in via float plane, but we had 12 peoples so we opted to take the trail in. It's about 5 miles to get back to the camp and lake. We had two four wheelers, a CanAm and a trailer. It took about 90 minutes to get all the way back to the camp, but once we got there it was a view! The cabins are all set right on the shores of Savant Lake and the camp is ran by the best people. We fished for walleye and pike and ate our fill! We even brought some HEB tortillas to make fish tacos. Warmed those right up on the wood ...

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...
