Friday Finds #106

No comments:
     Hello loves.
I hope you had a great Independence Day if that's your thing:) and if not then I hope it's been a good week to you and welcome to the weekend! I'm pretty happy to be sharing another Friday Finds, which many of you will recognize well since it's been an on-and-off feature since the very beginning of my blog. Anyways, let's get into it:)
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17
  1. This hat! I used to be scared of wearing hats because I thought they looked super dorky on me, but now I think it mostly depends on the style. haha I've been adding to my collection slowly and getting more and more comfortable in them, and now I can say I really adore and appreciate a great hat like this one.
  2. This is such a sweet earring set and I think the price is awesome too. About 95% of the time you'll find me in little tiny earrings or stud earrings because they're simple and dainty and they go with just about everything.
  3. I came across this beautiful textured quilt set this week and instantly saw them in the big girls room. They'd be an investment for sure but they're the perfect mix of modern and vintage looking, and the faded blush color is exactly what they are loving in there right now. So pretty!
  4. I think I found my dream laptop bag. The color caught my eye immediately, but then the detailing was so pretty, and I especially love that it's a backpack! I've been using a big leather messenger bag which I love but it's overkill really and too hard on my shoulders. This bag though is exactly what I've been dreaming of.
  5. I've been looking all over for the perfect wire bins for some pantry storage, shelves in the girls room, high shelves in my closet, and this week I finally found them! They're sturdy and super inexpensive and perfect:)
  6. I love these frames so much. We put together a big eclectic gallery wall in our old house, but when we moved here I started putting the various photos around the house and really loved where they ended up. I imagined a neat square grid wall instead with big white mats, and this frame is exactly what I pictured.
  7. Dry shampoo is maybe my best friend (and probably yours too.lol) but this stuff is a step above with a charcoal detox at the same time, and works so well! Click through to read the rave reviews if you don't believe me, but I give it five stars and this week I reordered my third can.
  8. I've loved Becca products for years and I'm really excited to try this face primer. I like to switch it up when I need a new primer and I've heard such good things about this one! I don't do more than a handful of steps for my usual makeup, but when I decided to primer for the first time it was actually pretty shocking at how much better my makeup applied and looked and lasted. Give it a try!
  9. Metal straws are amazing! Have you switched over to the light side yet?? Seriously though, we do LOTS of smoothies and juicing and such around here, so when I first heard of metal ones I decided to order up a pack and a brush to try them out. Needless to say, we all love them and they're perfectly easy to clean, and every year or so I order a handful more (some get lost and some get bent because toddlers were using them as swords, etc), so I thought I'd pass them on:)
  10. I love love the style of these baskets and could use them for so many different things don't you think? Can't you see a little tree sticking out of one?
  11. I'm sure it's hard to tell from the size of the necklace in the collage, but it's a zodiac charm! I actually thought of the two big girls with this one too, we've been playing a lot lately with personality tests and horoscopes, etc, so I think they'd love it! What's your sign? I'm a Capricorn:)
  12. This super cute jumper looks so crazy comfortable, and comes in black too! It's actually on clearance to so wait a minute for me to buy the one in my cart and then hurry and get one before they're gone.haha
  13. This miracle cream has been raved about by everyone and their mother's guinea pig for the last while I feel like, and since I've been dealing with some hormonal skin issues lately I thought I'd at least take a look. All-in-all I think it'll stay in my shopping cart for a little while, maybe until I get desperate.haha But it might be just what you've been looking for so I wanted to share!
  14. I've never bought cute luggage and I'm not mad about that, but I randomly stumbled on this really classic looking suitcase set and kinda fell in love with it. These will probably stay on my wishlist for a while since we have a couple perfectly functional black canvas bags (that blend in with everyone else's bag ), but they're on sale if you're in the market!
  15. I know I'm pretty late to the platform wedge sandal party/bandwagon, but that's usually how I roll.lol At any rate, I saw this pair and instantly loved how they looked more casual and sporty with the unique sole, and I think I'd get much more use out of a sandal like that! They come in so many different colors too, go check them out:)
  16. I'm so excited about this curling iron! I was really wanting to try some smaller curls and so I decided to look around for a 3/4 or 1/2 inch to see if they even existed, and I found this puppy for really cheap and from a brand I already love and trust!
  17. You can't tell by looking at them but these are anti-bluelight glasses! Maybe you've heard of them, maybe you haven't, but I have a couple different pairs now and this is my favorite. I just ordered another pair because somebody snapped mine:( But they're low in stock so go check them out! I have really felt a difference using these as someone who works for many hours on devices and was having lots of headaches. I try to use them especially before bed and I've been able to go to sleep faster too. Highly recommend! 

...And that's all for today! Let me know what you think about the post and if you've seen the evolution of my Friday Finds over the years:) Also if you'd like to see a certain themed set of favorites I'd love to hear about it! I've had a few requests already and I think it'd be fun.

Take care!

Friday Finds #105

7 comments:
     Well, I'm bringin' back the old Friday Finds feature after nearly three years, and I'm feelin' good about it:) Many of you might remember these posts from the old days, but if not it's merely a little collection of recipes, articles, wishlist items, etc from the previous week. Enjoy!


     And that's all for this Friday, and I really hope you have a Mother's Day weekend exactly as you would love to have whether it's a slow and peaceful one or one with lots of people and music etc, etc.haha Actually now I'm curious, what DOES your ultimate weekend look like? I mean excluding vacations and such:) 

     Share in the comments!

Friday Finds #104

10 comments:
This week I found:
 1 | this beautiful collection of house plants, in equally beautiful and simple pots,
 2 | this chocolate bark from Flourishing Foodie that makes me think of trail mix with all the seeds and dried berries, etc. except I'd eat this all up instead of picking through it like I used to do with trail mix when I was little. Tell me I'm not the only one.haha
 3 | this really simple layered necklace from Ann Taylor is my favorite type of jewelry lately
 4 | this light and simple bedroom scene that is so perfect in every way,
 5 | this etched walnut cutting board that I'm really in love with, but can't quite justify adding to my cart,
 6 | this type of citrus air freshener around the holidays has been a favorite trick for years, though an actual recipe is a treat and you should definitely give it a try,
 7 | these lovely DIY black marble coasters that are very practical now that I'm drinking out of mugs every day,
 8 | this quote has been a favorite forever, but has really been  my mantra lately. We. can. do. hard. things.
 9 | these type of slimming jersey dresses that are my fall uniform under oversized cardigans or with tights and boots, and this one is only $16.99 right now so git on over and snatch one:)
 10 | I mean, homemade chocolate peanut butter cups? come on...
 11 | this type of tunic style shirt that is my absolute go-to lately (not this particular one but much cheaper versions in various monochromatic colors.haha)
 12 | and this beautiful and serene shot that makes me yearn for travel.

Happy Friday Finds! I feel like it's a big milestone to be posting an old blog feature again after such a sporadic schedule. Keeping much of anything regular this year has been a struggle, but now that we're nearing the finish line with the big move, Martin is well into his second round of treatment, new little Evie is on a more regular schedule, Ellie is settled in kindergarten, and we finally have working internet at the new house(!), things are really going to pick up around here.

xo,
