Friday Favorites

It’s finally Friday, friends! This has been another super busy week, but yet so productive and fulfilling. I hope yours has went well so far!

 

1. My First Fall Bucket List

 

This probably seems redundant to those of you who read Monday’s post, but I had to include it in my favorites. I have read so many Fall Bucket lists from bloggers for as long as I can remember. It was a dream come true to be able to post my own on my blog this week!

 

2. It’s Starting to Feel Like Fall

 

We haven’t been having those low 90’s lately that just feel like you’re baking outside, and I’m so thankful! While I don’t like Winter at all, I truly love Fall and just a little cooler temperatures.

 

3. Three Ingredient Recipes!

 

Is there anything better than three ingredient recipes? They make me so happy! We are having a Ladies’ Day event at church this weekend and wanted to try something new for dessert. I’m bringing a three ingredient Hershey’s Pie! I found this recipe while searching on Pinterest, check it out here from The Lazy Dish!

 

4. Walmart Sweater!

 

I fell in love with this sweater while I was picking up my groceries about a month or so ago. I didn’t actually buy it then (I deemed it an impulse buy), but then I kept seeing it every time I shopped. I also saw it on a ton of blogs!! I had a work event earlier this week and decided I could buy it for that. It’s so pretty, soft and cozy!!

 

5. Downtime

 

It has been a busy couple of weeks, friends! I’m looking forward to some downtime this weekend. Even though there is some cleaning involved as well as the church event, I plan on curling up and relaxing in the meantime. 🙂

 

I hope you have the very best Friday and weekend ahead! Take time for you, you deserve it!

 

Let’s Chat!

    Oh, I like that sweater too. I love block stripes. I’m definitely trying that chocolate whipped pie recipe. That’s one that my daughter will probably like too.. and then she’ll make it for me. She loves to bake.

      I do, too! They had some other colors, as well. 🙂 Let me know if you ladies like it! It was REALLY rich. I’d like to find a way to lighten it up a bit.

    I cannot wait until I have some down time. Sadly, that won’t be until the first weekend of November!

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! ✨
