Friday Favorites |


Happy Friday friends! To say the weather has been a dream here would be an understatement – sure we still have our chillier moments (like this weekend coming up) but I ran outside for the first time in I can’t even tell you how long and it felt SO good!! Linking up with Amanda to share some favorites from the week! 



Favorite Lunch: 


Oh my word, when I spotted this recipe forBacon Gorgonzola Chicken Salad, my mouth started watering right there. I’m going to sub out the mayo for plain Greek yogurt, but with Gorgonzola and bacon – I might not want to eat anything other than this over the weekend! 



Favorite Movie Trailers: 


Two movie trailers came out this week – one forGirl on the Trainand one forJason Bourne. Say what you will aboutthe book, but Emily Blunt will give an amazing performance in this movie, I just know it! Fun fact: Love the Jason Bourne series and so glad that Matt Damon is back for this one! 



Favorite Delivery: 


I got my April Sephora Box this week and I’m really excited to try most of the products. The pep start eye cream from Clinique and Sephora’s Colorful ink gel topping that list! 



Favorite Spring Nail Polishes:


Bring on the brights and pastels!! I’ve actually thrown out a lot of my old polishes and this month have taken a break from getting gel manicures, much needed for my nails and I find it sort of relaxing painting them…getting the polish to stay on past two days is another story!! 





Favorite Links:




// Living so close to NH I need to plan a trip there to see some of these beautiful sites


//ICYMI I started my B~Inspired series back up with the beautiful Valerie and her boudoir photography


// Love these tips on creating storage in small spaces. 




That’s all from me!! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

    I don't know how I feel about the Girl on the Train trailer. I LOVE Emily Blunt, LOVE her. I know she'll kill it but it seems like they're putting a lot of the emphasis on Megan. That chicken salad looks amazing too! Greek yogurt is such a good idea! Happy Friday love! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    Yes to brights on the nails and toes, although I've got a super dark color on right now haha. Changing that up this weekend for sure! Yesterday's weather was a dream! We started our #Pena5K again, so excited. I walked with the belly, but am hoping to work up a jog within the next few days! Happy Friday! Xo

    The Girl on the Train movie trailer looks amazing, plus I love anything that has to do with Emily Blunt! I actually really enjoyed the book and I think it'll be interesting to see the difference between having the story be set in the US instead of England!

    That sandwich is calling my name! You had me at gorgonzola! Can't wait to read your next beauty review! I'm especially interested in that eye cream. And yes, you must take a mini vacay to NH! I went to college up there and it's beautiful there this time of year! I highly recommend Portsmouth because it's a quaint New England town with shopping and restaurants and the Maine outlets are very close by!!

    I know the weather has been so amazing this week, I've been looking for any excuse to stay out as long as possible! I'm super excited about the new Bourne movie coming out, too, because I'm such a fan myself! I love the polishes you've shared here, I believe I have the lavender one, which is SO pretty! I use ORLY's 'Bonder' base coat and Inm's 'Out the Door' top coat, both of which I think are amazing and have helped my manicures last for a full week, give them a try! Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

However, what I pictured while reading the book was not someone who looks like Emily Blunt or big homes like that seen from the train. I pictured upscale row houses in London. Still can't wait for the movie! Happy Friday gurlie <3
