Friday Favorites - 08162019

Another week has flown by, friends! Not quite as stressful as last week for me, but still pretty hectic. I hope that your week has went wonderfully! Let’s dive into the my Friday Favorites for the week!

 

1. Suits

 

Please, no spoilers! My hubby and I just started watching Suits on Amazon Prime and we love it! We just started season two last night and are totally hooked. Have any of you watched it?

 

2. Learning New Things

 

Sometimes things can get mutinous, our daily routines can get old after awhile. It has been a little stressful this week (but not as bad as last week!), but it was so much more interesting because I was learning new things at my job. I feel very appreciative of the experience and it was refreshing, most of all because I was helping others while I was taking on these new tasks.

 

3. Coffee

 

It has been essential for getting me to Friday this week! I have been trying to make more of it at home to save money (and time!). I’m brewing Starbucks Tanzania Ngorongoro Ridge and using Almond Joy coffee creamer. It’s super yummy! What’s your favorite coffee/creamer?

 

4. A Small Break from Social Media

 

This is the most time that I’ve spent away from the computer in awhile. I’ve been working longer hours, and have just not been feeling my most creative self. However, it was honestly a refreshing break from social media.

As much as I like keeping up with Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and other sites, it was really nice to just take a short break and focus on self care after work. With that being said, I’m very happy to be back this Friday and will be sure to put in a lot of time on the blog over the weekend! 🙂

 

5. Your Comments!

 

Reading all of your comments always brings a smile to my face! Especially on those days where it feels like an accomplishment just to survive the work day. Even with not putting in as much time as I should have this week, I’ve still received your wonderful comments.

Thanks to each of you who have stopped by my blog, left a kind word, shared a post…it is truly appreciated!

 

Shout-outs

 

I wanted to add a new section to my Friday Favorites this week. These shout-outs are blogs that I personally read every week and truly look forward to their posts. I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do, so be sure to check them out soon!

      Yes! I don’t think I realized how important those breaks are until I took the unexpected one this week.

    We watch Suits and love it too. I love the witty banter. I’m glad you mentioned it… I’m going to check and see if there’s a new season out that I haven’t seen yet.

      Yes, that’s what we love about it too! I think the last season I’ve heard of is Season Nine, but not sure if that’s the final season or if it’s actually out yet.

My multiple planner friends will understand the ‘very first’ part! 😉
 
While I haven’t used a Blue Sky planner in a really long time, I have always appreciated their beautiful covers, their accessibility because I find them often at my local Walmart, and their affordability.
 
This chic Blue Sky Life-Note It Planning Calendar in the Latte cover (could there be a better option for me than a cover named after COFFEE?!) is an 8.5x11 productivity machine! ✨ It gives a luxury vibe with the gold coil and written year, and has plenty of space for us ladies who need to write down ALL the things.
 
If you’re a fellow planner girl, feel free to hop over to my YouTube Channel for a full walkthrough of this beautiful planner and you can visit my LTK Shop for the link! Both 🔗 can be found in my bio! 
 
What do you think of this Blue Sky planner? I’d also love to know if you’ve picked up your 2027 planner(s) yet?
