Friday Favorites #183
Hello all!
Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week and are getting excited for the weekend! How are you spending the weekend, doing something fun, I hope? I look forward to a hopefully, slower weekend.
As we continue our way through January, I wanted to share some things I have been really enjoying this week as I link up with Erika and Andrea.
Here's some fun recent finds!
People We Meet on Vacation- I loved Emily Henry's book, People We Meet on Vacation. It's one of my favorite books by Henry. When I heard a movie was being made based on her book, I couldn't wait to see the adaptation. I really was pleased with the movie, yes, there were some changes from the book, but I thought the movie was very close to the book. I thought the casting was spot-on and I really appreciated the gorgeous backdrops of the setting. If you saw the movie or read the book, what did you think?
The Pitt- Season 2 of The Pitt is back on HBO Max. I really loved the first season and I think the second season is good, but not as strong as the first and I think that's because we know what to expect. I do like the continuation with some change of the first season. I really like the storylines of this season and I do appreciate that we are learning more about the backstories of the characters and seeing what happened during the time jump. If you are a Pitt fan, what do you think of the first few episodes?
Apple Fitness Plus- At the beginning of this year, I tried out a two-week free subscription to Apple Fitness Plus. I used the app every day and did a lot of their different workouts. I tried their yoga workouts, meditation practices, cool downs, and strength and conditioning routines. I liked the diversity of the workouts, the trainers, and the different lengths of the workouts. I think it would be a great resource and subscription to have if you like at-home workouts, but since I belong to a gym, I don't have as much as a need for it. I did really enjoy the change in workouts and liked using the app, but ultimately decided not to continue with my subscription at this time.
Face Mask-You know I love a good beauty mask. I got this face mask in a goodie bag around the holidays and loved how it left my face feeling. It was a thicker, gel-like mask, not like the thin, paper masks I am used to and I really liked the thicker solution. I tend to put on my face masks when I am doing chores around the house, so I am always looking for something that is long lasting. I was really pleased with the consistency of this mask and will be buying it again.
Headache Mask- If you have been around long enough, you may recall, I get bad headaches. I got this head/eye massager and have used it multiple times since Christmas. I really like that it has sensors for both heat and pressure. It also connects to your phone so you can listen to soothing sounds and meditations. It does a great job at relaxing you and working out some of the knots in your head. Overall, I have been pleased with it.
That's a look into some of my favorite things from this week. What have you been loving as we make our way through January? I'll see you back here on Monday for another coffee catch-up!
