Friday Favorites - August 26, 2022

We made it to Friday! How has your week been going? I'm sharing some the things this week that brought a little joy to me.

Reading

I just finished Elin Hildebrand's, What Happens in Paradise. Oh my word, it is so good and ended with a cliff hanger. I'm off to the library to pick up the third book in this trilogy.

Drinks

I opened up this bottle of Joel Gott wine this week and it has become a new favorite. I picked it up at Sam's Club and it's under $20 a bottle. I have also seen it at several liquor stores as well. It is balanced and great on it's own or paired with a steak dinner. I will definitely buy a few more bottles of thi!

YouTube

I have been binging cleaning motivation videos on You Tube while doing my elliptical workouts in the evenings. Some have some great tips on organization, cleaning hacks, etc. This weekend I need to do a deep clean and wash the windows. Some people do spring cleaning, but I really feel the need to reset the house for fall and get ready for dare I say...the holidays. Some channels I've been watching lately are Amy Darley Faith and Flour, and Beauty and The Beastons. Let me know in the comments if you have any favorite bloggers or YouTubers with great cleaning and organization tips!

Pets

This guy brings joy to our family every day. He is definitely our child. We had Conway for 12 years now and I just love him greeting us when we come home and hanging out in the evenings while watching tv. He has so many little quirks and mannerisms, I swear he thinks he's a little person.

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...

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...
