Friday Favorites

lifestyle· Uncategorized

Happy Fri-YAY, y’all! I am currently writing this on Thursday night because I know I will be utterly exhausted by tomorrow afternoon because it’s Friday and it’s a pep rally day. You don’t know exhausted until you’ve experienced a pep rally as a teacher. Oh goodness! 
It’s been a fun week that was anything but normal. We were out on Monday and Tuesday because of Hurricane Irma, so we only had three days of work, but it feels like 10. I haven’t had a plan that hasn’t been taken up with meetings since last Wednesday. But, it’s all good! I love the weekends because you can regroup and start over on Monday!
Here’s what I loved from this week:
On Saturday, my Mom and I went shopping for fall decor. I shared what all I found in Monday’s blog post.
 My favorite thing was this pumpkin candy bowl for Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I didn’t find as much as I had hoped in the way of fall decor, but I found such cute things for Halloween! I am counting down the days until I can put this door mat on my front porch! 
Oh, LUSH! Lush is one of my absolute favorite stores in the world. The nearest store is about two hours away, and it’s just not the same when you order online because you can’t smell everything. I stocked up on bath bombs and bubble bars that I will be using sparingly LOL! 
I was reeeeeaaaallllly low on candles and it was time to buy fall candles anyways, so I’ve been watching for Bath and Body Works to have a sale because who can spend $22 on a single candle when they go on sale quite often! 

What are your go to fall candles? These are the ones I came away with…

This candle was an odd purchase for me because I usually don’t pick up coffee scents. I wouldn’t have even looked at it if another girl hadn’t opened the lid to smell it as I was standing next to her. It smelled heavenly and I just had to have it. I lit it and placed it in the kitchen and I absolutely hate it. It has a chocolate scent to it that I just cannot get past. I’m passing it on to my cousin!
Another favorite this week has been the cool weather we had at the beginning of the week. I broke out my $12 cape from Forever 21! I bought this at the end of winter earlier this year and I regret not buying it in every other color (if it did come in multiple colors!). It is the comfiest top and for $12 the quality isn’t bad! I’m keeping a check on the site to see if they restock. Crossing my fingers!
I was in Target and I saw their display on fall Glade products and I fell in love with this scent. If you like fruity smells, this is a great one to transition into fall from summer!
Do y’all love the Fitness Marshall as much as I do???? I have been checking and checking his page for a dance to Taylor Swift’s new song and he uploaded it Wednesday night. I cannot wait to start learning it this weekend! His dances are so fun and a great way to workout!

Fall is almost officially here and I spent yesterday afternoon get mums for my front porch! I cannot wait to decorate it this weekend. 🙂 
That was some of my favorites from the week. What are you loving right now! I’d love to hear. 
Happy weekend, y’all! 🙂

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
