Friday Favorites

Things are pretty low key around this way. I'm wrapping up summer vacation and starting to prepare for getting back in the groove of work. I met one of my new principals this week, finding out that the storage half of my room will be removed and I will have an entire room this year! YAY! On that happy note, here are some of the things I've been crushing on lately.

Fave etsy Finds 
As the Royals season goes on, I always start to want new Royals bling. Just to torture myself, I looked up things on etsy.  Want. All. The. Things.

Fave Song

DJ Snake and Aluna George -"You Know You Like It"

I love just about anything by DJ Snake, so this is my jam and on repeat. 

Fave TV Show

Leah Remini It's All Relative

Ya'll if you haven't watched this show, I think it's def worth it. It's funny in the "WTF that is exactly like my life" way, not the scripted kind of funny. That and in one of the episodes Leah and her family discuss their leaving Scientology, in another how Leah doesn't look at her vagazzle & doesn't let her hubs either, and yet another about how she goes to therapy.  How much more real does that get?! Worth an hour of your life, swear.

Fave Recipe

Brown Butter Gnocchi with Mushrooms

I totally adapted this Brown Butter Gnocchi recipe to fit my needs. And by that I mean I used store bought gnocchi, added protein (chicken), and took out the cheese. But other than that, totally the same recipe. It was delish. 

Fave Purchase 

Gold Polka Dot Shirt

This shirt doesn't look amazing in this picture, but it fits perfect and the gold foil dots are slightly vintagey faded looking. It dresses up cute shorts and the neckline looks great with a statement necklace. Bonus? On sale for 9.99 and you can use whatever Kohls coupons you have. 

Wal-Mart Beauty Box Review {{Summer 2015}}

I got my Wal-Mart  beauty box subscription this past week. Wal-Mart boxes ship seasonally, meaning 4 per year, and only cost $5! They are filled with a variety of coupons, sample packets, travel size samples, and full size products. This to me is worth the $5 price tag. You can go here to get your own.

For the summer box, there was a bunch of goodies that I am excited to try. 

• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara: (travel size) excited to try this waterproof, clump free, volumizing mascara. 
• Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy: (travel size) I will definitely use this at some point, my scalp does get flaky during the winter which is rapidly approaching. I like the idea that hair gets stronger while your scalp gets the TLC it needs. 
• Nivea Soft Creme: (travel size) I plan on throwing this in my purse. It has a light scent, goes on clean and non-greasy, and feels great on your hands. 
• John Frieda Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray: (travel size) this has a light scent and I am excited to try it in my hair to see if it leaves a crispy feel. It touts that it texturizes and is non-drying, so we'll see on that one. 
• NYC Felt Tip Liquid Liner: (Full size) super excited by this eyeliner. I love to use gel liners and other precision eye liners and this one has a double sided tip, so that you can create a thick, full line or a smaller, softer line. 

There was also a few smaller samples that you can see in the picture, but the one I was most shocked by was the You & I perfume by One Direction. It has notes of fresh fruit and seasonal flowers, with an undertone of musk. It smelled good! I wish that sample had been larger, as it was only one application. 

Has anyone else tried the Wal-Mart Beauty Box yet?
