Friday Favorites - September 2, 2022

We're getting ready to ring in a 3 day weekend! Do you have any special weekend plans? We are having a relaxing weekend at home. Matt is getting ready for an upcoming trip, so he's packing and I plan to do some reading, find a good movie to watch one evening and do a little gardening. We'll do a family meal with my in-laws on Monday. Here are some of my favorites from the week.  

A Relaxing Porch  

Last weekend I did a deep clean on the porch and sitting area. I've been enjoying happy hour and reading on the porch after work. It has been glorious! I am think of installing a few ceiling fans on this side of the porch for a little breeze. We have ceiling fans over the grilling area on the south side of the house, however, we site on the west side more often and could benefit from a little breeze. It's a beautiful place to watch the sunset. 








Gardening

I have a little row of some of my favorite summer veggies replanted. I have tomato plants, jalapeno peppers, zucchini, yellow squash and cucumbers in this row. On the next row I sowed 2 rows of green beans. 



The Good Stuff

In April a friend of mine introduced me to The Good Stuff which is a coffee additive from the Coffee for Wellness company of a couple of pro golfers. I have been adding a scoop to my coffee daily and it has really keep me full until lunch without snacks. My focus has increased as well. It contains collagen, MCT oil powder, L-theanine, and cinnamon...so all of the good stuff. I just add a scoop to my cup of coffee with a little heavy whipping cream. I have this at my desk with a breakfast bar and that's all I need until lunch. Prior to using this, I would drink straight black coffee or tea with my breakfast bar and still require a snack around 10 am. I'm not affiliated with this company in any way and it's not MLM. I am just a happy customer! 














I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

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...
