Friday Favorites


We made it to another Friday…barely for me! I’m looking forward to spending some time with my cousin who is visiting from Italy and maybe even sneaking in a Red Sox game!!! Linking up with Amanda to share my favorites this week! 



Favorite Recipe

When Amandashared her roasted chickpea recipe I knew it was something I could get behind but then, I about fell out of my chair when I found this recipe on Pinterest!!! Roasted chickpeas and nachos – it’s like the best combination ever!!! 




Favorite DIY

SMP shared this seriously easy Confetti Popper DIY (there’s even a video) and I’m trying to think of the next event I have so I can make these!! 

Favorite Sale 

As you’ve probably seenSephorais having their VIB sale now through Tuesday the 21st! Since they don’t offer sales that often I decided to take advantage and picked up a few things I’d been eyeing for a while! I’ve heard so many beauty bloggers talk aboutthis concealerand I’m excited to see if it lives up to the hype! Another one in my cart for a while has been this Bare MineralsComplexion Rescue Cream– I’ve heard nothing but great things so I’m excited to test it out! I’ve had asetting powderon my list of things to buy and I really wanted to try something less pricey than the Laura Mercier brand, so took advantage and went for the Sephora brand. I was running low on my travel perfumes so I picked up this cute mini set by Marc Jacobs, the Daisy Mini Duo

Favorite Look

I stumbled upon this look on Pinterestthe other day and absolutely love it!! It’s classic with a hint of being trendy!! Just really love the laid back feel of it! 



Favorite New Site



I recently discovered Canva which is an online design software. You can create custom instagram posts, blogging materials and even menus if you want!! I’m just getting started using it, but I really like what I can do! We created our flyer invite for our Spring Dress Event on Canva and it turned out amazing! 

Also, Canva has no idea who I am…I just really like their software! 





I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! 

xo,

    I have that concealer and really like it. I usually put some on my hand and then put it on with my finger. I find that it works better that way rather than applying it with the applicator. Have a wonderful weekend with your cousin!! Thanks for posting about that design site, so need to check that out.

    I am obsessed with those flats in your pin and I will be making those nachos because holy crap my mouth is watering just seeing that picture! Also thank you for the Canva introduction because that looks so helpful!!! Hope you have a fab time at the game this weekend!!! xoxoxo

    I can get behind ANY type of nacho. Those look delicious, and less guilty than a big pile of brisket nachos, right?! Just like Amanda, the thing that stuck out to me was the flats in that photo – they're perfect!

    Have a great weekend!

    Do you need a reason to make the party poppers?! I think I might run around my office setting them off over people's desk… maybe when I'm ready to be moved 🙂 I need to go explore Sephora while they're having a sale- I'm curious how that Complexion Rescue does for you! I need something lighter to wear now that the dryness of winter is over with!

    Roasted chick pea nachos sounds so amazing right now. I am 100% going to have to get some kind of nacho thing for lunch today. How cute are those confetti poppers! I need to remember those when new years rolls around again!

    That recipe looks amazing!!!!!!!!!! I just signed up for Canva last week and haven't had a chance to play much but I loved what I saw. Maybe this weekend I can dive in more. I am going to have to check out that Complexion Rescue stuff. I want to get a concealer this weekend but I was leaning to wards the CC cream concealer by Tarte but you have me second guessing. I use Naked foundation..I wonder if I would like the concealer. Which foundation are you using right now? Hope you have a great weekend!
