Friday Favs

Beauty· books 2016· Home Decor· lifestyle· Uncategorized

Happy Friday, y’all! Only two more Fridays (and then two days) and I will be happily dancing my way into Christmas break!!!! (insert dancing red dress emoji here!) Here’s what I’ve been loving this week. Notice I’m not discussing the fact that Alabama ISN’T playing in the SEC Championship because we lost to Auburn last weekend or the fact that Prince Harry got engaged this week. Nope, those two things definitely didn’t make it into my Friday favs! 🙁
I’m reading the best books right now! If you’ve never read Mila Gray’s Come Back to Me, you must run out and purchase immediately because you will LOVE! There’s another book in the series that’s also wonderful and then this is the last book. It just came out this week. Even though they are all part of the series, they can be read as stand alones. In fact, the first two contain the same group of characters, but I can’t figure out how this book is related to the others. Either way, it’s still really good! 
Speaking of books, I blogged about what all I read during October and November here if any bookworms want to check it out. Follow my bookstagram account and Goodreads account to see what I’m always reading! 
Happy Everything plate // reindeer chip and dip server // under cabinet lighting 
My kitchen is slowly getting into the Christmas spirit! I LOVE this easy to “install” under cabinet lighting. The lights simply stick underneath your cabinets so there’s no drilling or screwing! Winning!
Okay, so I posted this insta story last Sunday while I was shopping for the perfect red lip color and a lot of y’all messaged me with suggestions! Here’s what y’all suggested:
Stila in “Beso” ***This was recommended by three different people! 
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in “San Paulo”
Sephora Collection “Always Red”
Hello Black Friday/Cyber Monday packages. Number of incorrect orders: 1 Number of security tags left on items: 1 Number of missing packages: 1 *sigh* I’m trying not to complain because the orders arrived SUPER fast and I know how crazy everything is right now in the world of shopping, but I HATE having to return things and deal with security tags! Ugh!
I tried this Diva wash from the Tyler Candle Company and I am in love. Santa, if you’re reading this (of course he is because Santa sees all!) please bring me some more of this! It is heavenly! The girl at the boutique gave me a little tip: mix this with unscented laundry detergent to make it last longer! 
I had the best TJ Maxx haul this week! I LOVE TJ Maxx and it is just the best when you find lots of fun goodies! Here’s a mini haul!
I was so stinkin’ excited to find Ashley Brooke Designs mugs here! ABD has the prettiest little gifts and I have been obsessed with the mugs for years. Love, love, love!
I also was floored to see this! Even the check out girls were talking about what a great find it was. One of them told me all the girls were fighting over them in the stock room! $19.99 for a Sherpa vest? I’ll take it!
The picture doesn’t do these two Kate Spade pillows justice. They are the prettiest pink in real life. I got them for Spring, but I love them so much that I might just use them as bedding pillows in my bedroom. They also have green ones that I want!
I was good and resisted this gorgeous Dooney and Burke black and white gingham tote because it was $100 and I thought that was a little much, but how pretty is it! Love!
What’s Black Friday without a candle haul from Bath and Body Works. They had their buy 3, get 3 deal going on so I bought 6 candles! I’ve currently got this one burning in my living room and I LOVE it! 🙂 
I’d love to hear what you’ve been loving this week! Happy Friday, 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!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

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!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!

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
