Friday Favorites #142
Hello! Hello! Happy Friday everyone!
I hope you are having a great week and are ready for the weekend, I know I am! It has been a packed week and I have just as busy of a weekend coming up with family getting into town for Easter, but I can’t wait!
Signs of spring during my weekend away
Before I link up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites, I want to know what plans you have for the weekend? Something fun and springy? Easter mass and brunch? Maybe an egg hunt? Whatever you are doing, I hope it brings you joy! Let’s jump into this week’s roundups of Friday Favorites!
Snow White- I know it has been a controversial movie from critics, but I went to see the new Snow White movie on a rainy, Sunday afternoon. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I thought it stayed pretty close to the original Disney movie with the plot, characters, songs and themes. The ending was a bit different compared to the original movie and there were some roles and characters that were a bit more prominent. Was it the best movie I saw? No, but I didn't think it was as bad as people were making it out to be, even with the rumors of drama behind the scenes. Do you have to see it in theaters? No, I think it's one of those movies where you can wait and watch it when it becomes available on streaming services.
The Burnout- I just finished the book, The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella and loved it. The book follows a young woman working in a corporate job who has a nervous breakdown and gets burnout. She takes herself to a favorite childhood vacation spot and runs into old guests and hotel staff, and it brings up a lot of memories for her. She reunites with another former guest and sparks fly as they are both recovering from being burnout. However, when they find clues around the hotel, questions about their past start to rise. I loved the themes of nostalgia and remembering the good old days of childhood. This book got 5 Stars from me.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Soup- I picked up this soup on a whim and it was the perfect fix for a chilly day. I love a good old fashioned Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup combo and this was soup was so good. It was definitely a heartier and creamier soup compared to a traditional tomato soup. Two thumbs up for me!
And Just Like That Trailer- A bit of entertainment for you this week. The season 3 trailer for And Just Like That dropped this week and it comes out on my birthday. The theme is all about summer in the city. It looks like there will be a lot of great storylines. Here's a look at the trailer. I can't wait to be reunited with Carrie and the Gang!
Simplified Goodies- I promise this is the last Simplified favorite for a while. My order from Simplified came in this week. I purchased the planner pouch in Camp Gingham and a new recipe binder since my current one from Simplified is filled. I will be purchasing my planner for 2026 in the fall. I am already using my pouch for keeping all my things clean and safe. Definitely a favorite from this week.
There you have it! A look into life lately and what I’ve been loving lately. Some snacks, some outdoor time, and some entertainment. What are some things that have been bringing you JOY?! I would love to know! Have a great weekend. I’ll see you back here on Wednesday!
