Friday Favorites

I hope October is treating you well so far, friends! I don’t know about you, but I am so thankful it’s Fri-yay!!

 

1. A Productive Week

 

I’m super thankful for having a productive week. Some of it was challenging and I let my head get in the way, but nonetheless, I persevered. Just in case you’re going through a similar issue, you can do it! Continue to trust the process and believe in yourself, and you can accomplish amazing things!

 

2. The Entire Series of Suits!

 

Okay, this is probably the last time you’ll see this on my Friday Favorites (or at least until I re-watch the series!). I finished up the last season this week and loved the ending! I’m so sad it’s over now, I am going to miss all of the fantastic characters. I am looking forward to starting Pearson soon though!

 

3. Pizza

 

Not the healthiest favorite, but it is oh-so-good! It’s been a long week and I’m typing this on Thursday evening…so you can guess what dinner is for me! What’s your favorite pizza ever?

 

4. Peace

 

This sort of goes back to #1. Even though I worried myself sick some of this week, and had a lot of different emotions all at once – I am thankful for the peace that only God can give. Today (the 10th) marks one year since my father-in-law passed away, and it doesn’t seem real. He was the sweetest man, and made it his mission to love others wholeheartedly. I can only hope to sow those same seeds over the years.

 

5. Fellowship

 

This is actually a favorite from last week, but since I didn’t get that post out – I’ll add it here. Our church did a little fundraiser, selling lunches last week. While it was a lot of work, it’s always nice to come together for a wonderful cause!

 

Let’s Chat!

What’s your favorite thing from this week?
Any fun plans for this weekend?
What’s your biggest goal for this month?

    I cried during the series finale of Suits. This show has been in my life for years and I’m going to miss it!

      Me too!! I’m sad I just started watching it not too long ago, but just fell in love with the characters. I think I miss Harvey the most!

    I love Suits too. The characters are great. I’m looking forward to catching up a bit this weekend. Paul’s away mountain biking with friends so I’ll have lots of time.

    I need to watch Suits, I haven’t even seen one episode! Also, pizza is life! My favorite type is stuffed crust, it’s so good!

      You’ll love it, Ashlee!! I promise it doesn’t take very long at all to fall in love with these characters! I was hooked from the first episode, and luckily all the seasons are on Amazon Prime.

      Stuffed crust is amazing!!

I’ve been using the @theinia_official Flare device and one of my favorite benefits is how it supports lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce puffiness, redness, and that tired look we all get sometimes.

It’s a simple, relaxing step yet makes such a big difference in how my skin feels and looks:
❤️ Less puffiness
🧡 More sculpted, refreshed look
💛 A little moment of self-care in my day

I love using it a few times per week or before getting ready when I want that extra glow! ✨
