Friday Favorites #147
Hello, hello! Happy Friday! I hope you have been having a successful week and are counting down until the weekend, I know, I am! After the past few weekends of travel and events, I am looking forward to the time at home for a calmer weekend.
I captured this beautiful sunrise on a recent run.
I love a good mix of events and home time. This weekend is also Memorial Day weekend, so although I will be working, I am looking forward to some time outdoors and the unofficial start of summer. Before we get to the weekend, I wanted to share some favorite things with you as I link up with Erika and Andrea.
This week’s batch has a lot of beauty products and entertainment options for you! Let’s dive in!
New lotion- As you know, I am a Bath and BodyWorks and fragrance girl. I always have lotions, sprays, and hand sanitizers wherever I go. I have recently been using this Emily in Paris hand lotion every day. I keep it in my car and use it a bit whenever I get in the car. It keeps my hands moisturized and soft and it smells good too. The scent is Paris Amour, it’s a rose-like scent that is not too overpowering, some of my favorite qualities in a scent. I love the freshness and elegance this scent provides.
Picture This- On the entertainment front, have you heard of or seen Picture This? You can find it on Amazon Prime. It’s all about a young woman who ahead of her sister’s wedding is told she will go on five dates and one of them will be her match. The question is, which one is the perfect pick for her? The lead is Simone Ashley, who you may recognize from Bridgerton. I really loved the family dynamics in this story and the Indian culture. A fun rom-com if you are looking for something different.
Protein Hair Treatment- I use a lot of products in my hair every day, from sprays, to washes, and conditioners, so whenever I can take advantage of a treatment or cleanse, I do it. I picked up this protein treatment on a whim and was very satisfied with the results. I used it in the shower and after washing it out, my hair instantly felt soft, silky, and healthier. It was a short-term fix but I was thrilled with the end product. I will definitely be using it again when my hair needs some TLC.
Daily sunscreen-The spring weather has brought lots of sunshine, which is great, except not for my skin. I have been working on getting back into the habit or putting sunscreen on my face daily. I find it so helpful to just put it on when I am doing my makeup in the morning so I don’t forget. Whether I am outdoors for hours on end or just for a few minutes, I know I am doing my part to protect my skin. This is my go-to sunscreen and I love it, plus it provides a hint of glow too!
Leaning into Comfort Shows and Movies- Another recent favorite of mine has been leaning into comfort and nostalgia, from movies to tv shows. In a time where it seems like there is always something new to read or watch, it’s nice to put things on pause and lean into a familiar favorite. For example, my mom and I recently watched the 1995 mini-series, Pride and Prejudice. It’s one of our favorite versions of Pride and Prejudice, who can resist Colin Firth?! It’s been nice to watch something that’s familiar and you don’t have to make a decision about it. Definitely a favorite of mine.
That’s a look into what I have been loving this week. Lots of entertainment and beauty recommendations. As we gear up for Memorial Day, what are your plans and what have been some things you have been loving? I would love to hear from you! Happy Friday, friends! Enjoy the long weekend!
