Happy Friday lovelies! Short week around here, but overly excited to greet the weekend! I’m happy to link up with the wonderful ladies of A. Liz AdventuresCarolina Charm & Hello Happiness! for their 5 on Friday! 

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

One of the perks to where I work is that the building is connected to the mall…yes you read that correctly! On Wednesday I ventured to Banana Republic just to poke around and I purchased thisskirt for $12!!! The price marked on the website is higher than in store. It was marked down from $89.50 to $20.99 with an extra 40% off making this a steal of a deal!! Didn’t even think twice…

I really hope I am not the last person on the planet to read this article about Martha Stewart’s beauty regime, but if I look that good at 72 I’d be a happy lady!! For the most part she uses pretty high end products, but with drug store brands providing similar, if not the same results – maybe we can all achieve that level freshness!

My friend Erica sent me the link to the curl styler – I was amazed & fascinated watching the video tutorial on Sephora’s website…and then I saw the price (womp womp). I did find a cheaper alternative on Amazon, but still sort of pricey!! I’ll probably stick to my Wand for now… Please let me know if you have one or have ever used one!!

With some of the backlash that Wolf of Wall Street is getting in the press and from movie critics, I found thisNew York Times article to be so interesting. It’s a bit of read and at some points you do really question this man’s sanity, but it’s an interesting take on the “Financial World.”

While I’m certainly no Seattle Seahawks fan (sorry)- this commercial of fullback Derrick Coleman and how he has overcome his disability is truly inspiring! A little bit of the story is also found here. Side note, does anyone else get super emotional watching the Johnson & Johnson commercials for the Olympics…gets me every time!! 

And on that note – hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
