Thoughts For Friday

Thank God for the weekend!  After being so sick last weekend and then tending to my little man who also caught the stomach bug I am ready for a fun weekend with no illness (praying Matt doesn't get it, hoping he is in the clear since he hasn't caught it yet).  We have no big plans but I am looking forward to some quality family time!  I can't wait to hit up the drug store and buy some of the great stuff you gals recommended!

Last week I stumbled upon the most genius food invention ever, Brownie Brittle.  Have you guys tried this stuff?  It is amazing.  Tastes just like a brownie but it is thin and crunchy.  I was skeptical at first but it knocked my socks off.  Buy some you can thank me later or hate me later when you eat the whole bag.


My Forever 21 Dress came in the mail and me likey.  For the price it is a great maxi.  I highly recommend, for all you locals it is not in the store I checked you have to order online.


Thanks to one of my readers, Chrystal from Its Fairly Obvious, for recommending Oribe Texturizing Spray.  This stuff works wonders.  I spray it in my hair before I curl or straighten it and it gives it so much more body and it smells amazing.  It is not cheap but I promise it is worth the money.  It serves kind of as a dry shampoo as well as styling agent- double bonus.


For some reason I decided to DVR The Making of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.  If you really want to feel bad about your body just watch this (haha).  And sadly I was eating the mini Cadbury Eggs while I watched it,  which made me feel even worse, I kept thinking put the eggs away look at these skinny girls they don't eat cadbury eggs.  The girls were stunning,  bodies and faces.   In all honesty it was actually kind of an interesting documentary.   Lets discuss Kate Upton's Boobs- there is no way these are real, right??


This beauty is on its way to me.  Thank Jenny Andrews for making incredible art.  You guys should check out her Etsy shop HERE.  I love all her work!  Thinking I am going to hang it in our den.


I could not resist this shirt at JCrew for Sterling because well lets face it, he is a real heartbreaker.  Its on sale now too:)  For any of you curious about sizing I got him a 4/5 and it fits pretty well with a little room to grow.  Tell me this is not the cutest thing you have seen?

I have convinced myself I need a tortoise shell ice bucket.  I saw a picture somewhere of one filled with pink flowers and I loved it.  Then I came across this picture on a bar cart and I love it too!

I did a little researching and found this super affordable one at Nordstrom (Matt a great birthday idea would be to buy this and fill it with pink flowers for my birthday).  This would be such a fabulous house warming gift as well.


Love this quote, something I have been reminding myself alot lately.


Have a great weekend friends!

Love me some tortoise, I've had my eye on an ice bucket as well. Pretty much since I saw in on Jessie Short's home tour. I've been waiting a polite amount of time before I just completely copy the girl :)

So sorry y'all have been sick. There is nothing worse. Sterling's shirt is absolutely adorable like him. I'm just glad we can make him be Wells' prom date one day. He's going to be very busy when he's older I'm sure of it!

And that quote is SO TRUE my sweets. SO TRUE!

Happy Weekend!!!

Where did you get the texturizing spray? And do you think it helps hold a curl in your hair? Sometimes I have an issue with that on freshly washed hair.

Great ice bucket buy. And Jenny's latest batch is amazing, she's so great. I've bought the brownie brittle before and considering I'm more of a chewy brownie fan and liked them still, I'd say they're pretty good. Happy weekend.

My husband thinks Kate Upton's boobs are real. I initially thought no way, but she's pretty curvy in general, so it's possible. My 7 year old daughter saw the magazine in the Teeter the other day and was fascinated.

Kate's boobs look real to me. Need to try that spray from my hair! My hair always looks better on the second day after I wash it. Maybe the spray will make it look as good the day I wash it? Great maxi. Have a good weekend:)
