Here we are again with another weekend upon us and no one is complaining!! Hoping to squeeze the last little bits out of summer this weekend, seeing as Boston has decided to cool of this last week! Linking up with Amanda to share some favorites!
Favorite App
Thanks to my friend Jess for the introduction into this photo editor app! I know there are a ton of editor apps out there, but this one is free and it’s like having the magic of Photoshop at your fingertips with every picture. So far I’ve used it for flower photos and some food pictures, but I love playing with all the filters, settings and editing features it has!
Favorite Recipe
This is less recipe and more just ingredients. I’ve been looking to incorporate avocado into pretty much everything these days, and I’ll sub out the real bacon for turkey bacon for an easy morning breakfast…maybe with a side of eggs!
Favorite Video
This video has been shared by thousands of people now, but in case you haven’t watched it yet – this is what the “challenge” is all about – raising awareness for a debilitating disease with no cure yet! It starts out like most other Bucket Challenge videos, but if you have a few minutes, watch the entire video.
Favorite Giveaway(s)
Well that would be two this week – but a big congratulations to Kerry from Til Then Smile Often on winning the lip gloss set from Gloss48! I’ll be in touch shortly! Also, you still have a few more hours to enter the Tory Burch Giveaway!
Favorite Pin
My little bar cart dreams are coming true, slowly but surely – we aren’t going the conventional route – but instead doing this Ikea DIY Hack for a bar cart and after another stellar find on Craigslist by Gary (and another trip to IKEA we don’t have to make) this little guy will be put together in the next few weeks!! Can’t wait to style it!!
Favorite Links

Who would’t love avocado bacon toast?? That looks awesome!
I am obsessed with that app. When I first downloaded it, I hated it because I didn't know how to use it. Now I love it. Anything with avocado is just pure deliciousness.
Shut up! Bacon avocado toast? Excuse me while I run off to the market to grab some avocados! I know what's for lunch today!
Bacon avocado!? I MUST try this stat!
Mmm if you like that toast you'd like my avacado recipe, I put bacon in it. Bam! Yah I just went there. Lol.
Love the bar cart and the app – thank you so much! I hope you have a fabulous weekend my dear! xox
OMG that Ikea Expedit hack! I have one of those and I need to make this happen asap!! Happy Friday girlie! xo

oh my freaking god I am IN LOVE with that expedit turned bar cart. you guys are so fancy. cant wait to see it!
mmm avo on toast is my fave (good without bacon too lol)
I love watching that video! He is awesome, and such an amazing advocate and strong patient too. Thanks for sharing Biana! Also, Happy Friday!!
That toast looks really good. Watch out for turkey bacon though, I read on Women's Health that there can be a lot of fillers in it. Try the black forest bacon at Trader Joe's too. 🙂 I'll have to watch that video some time, that bar cart is cute. I wonder what kind of stories Audrey's granddaughter has about her!! She's a beautiful girl too. And oh the Dutchess always looks so flawless, love her. 🙂 I hope that you have a fab weekend lady! 🙂
seriously downloading that app as i type! i love a good photo app. and avocado bacon? good lord yes. i used to hate it solely because i didn't like the color. weird or what?! now i can't get enough! happy friday lovely 🙂
I've heard great things about that app but I've been a little intimidated by it since I'm not too tech-savvy…is it beginner friendly?
Avacado bacon toast looks amazing!! I have seen so many people using that Visco cam app, may have to give it a try! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
i love an ikea hack!! vsco cam is my fave pic app. it's what i used for almost all of them!
It has gotten cooler here. I love sweater weather!! Love the ikea hack and can't wait to see yours. I downloaded that app, can't wait to start using it.
Have a great weekend lady!!!
The Ice Bucket Challenge is incredible and the money and the awareness it's raised is awesome. My uncle actually passed away from this disease a few years ago so it is near and dear to my heart. Love that you figured out a bar cart hack! Can't wait to see pictures of the finished project!
I just downloaded that photo app, thx! Also, just watched that als video….It was very powerful.
Cute idea for the bar cart!! Can't wait to see how you do it up 🙂 And that avocado toast and bacon with a side of eggs sounds like the perfect breakfast. What time are you coming over to cook that? 🙂 Have a great weekend girl!
Avocado bacon toast?! That's 3 of my favorite things!!
I've never thought about making avocado toast. But yum! Happy weekend!
if you want to be fancy and italian you could call it avocado and bacon crostini! 🙂
Definitely going to download that app…thanks for the rec! And I was getting annoyed with all the #icebucketchallenge posts EVERYWHERE…until I watched that video a couple of days ago. Totally puts it all in perspective. Have a fabulous weekend!
I love that Ikea hack for a bar cart! I was thinking of doing that with the larger version of that bookcase! Cute and low budget, perfect! Also that recipe looks delish! Everything makes me hungry these days.. haha
Love all of them..specially the lipstick on the gloomy day 🙂

Thank you to you and Jess for that amazing app!! and they have it for android too! I'm in heaven! I'm adding that Ikea bar cart to my list! love it! Have a great weekend girly!
Oh golly… that ALS video just broke my heart… how a family has that horrible disease just run through it… what a brave man to be so honest
Thank you for sharing that app! I watched and shared that video on FB last night asking people to keep donating and doing that challenges. That video broke my heart and I'm sick of the people complaining about the challenges.
Girl, all I eat is avocado toast- you can mix it up in so many ways and with bacon? Um yes, done. Checking out that editor app now and I hope you have a fabulous weekend gorgeous!! xoxo
I have been using VSCO forever now. I love it! I like to use other photoapps as well like Pic-Tap-Go. Try using them both!! Super fun!
I stopped following the ice bucket challenge because it's turned into a pissing contest and social media hype to get likes and views.
That first picture is so pretty and I love that pin! Have a great weekend!
i loooove vsco cam. my fave app for sure!
Your bar cart is going to be awesome! I'll have to watch that video as soon as I get home!
Yum! Love that avacado bacon toast 😉
OMGGG avocado + bacon anything is amazing! I haven't watched the ALS video all the way through because I start crying uncontrollably. So glad that video is getting around, I'm tired of people negging out about the ice bucket challenge!
or you can sub out bacon for jerky…bc that's what i'm about to do! haha! have a great weekend 🙂
Ooo I can't wait to check out that app! And I love your bar cart! So pretty and different!

Love the getting ready attire! I just bought and customized purple tanks for my bridesmaids to get ready. Happy weekend!!!
That really was the best ice bucket challenge video- so, so moving and a great reminder behind the point of the challenge and the huge difference it's making spreading awareness! I've seen so many people use the vsco app but have never looked into it- maybe I will finally give it a try!
That toast looks DELCIOUS! I wonder if it'd taste okay with my soy "bacon." hahaha
Wow that looks so delicious !!
Now I'm hungry !!

Loved your article- you are such a great writer!! And I definitely think matching/themed outfits while getting ready is a great touch. I'm hoping I'm gifted a robe one of these days 🙂
I just started using that photo editing app too! I love it! I always forget my camera when I go out, which makes for less than professional blog posts! 🙂 Also, that avocado and bacon toast? OMG. And you really are a great writer, lady! xo
First time visits here, nice blog and sharing, I wish you to have a happy day~ =D
