Happy Friday everyone!
Well it’s Christmas Eve eve, and the anticipation of gift giving, spending time with family, and a looming vacation has turned me into a giddy school child, but at the same time, I can’t believe the holidays are almost over!
I mean, we still have our pumpkins from Halloween in the garage!
I know.
No, I know.
But seriously, where has the time gone? 2011 was definitely one of the fastest years of my life, and I am so excited for 2012 to begin. I feel like I have NO idea what is on the horizon, which is very, very exciting.
Anyways, I’ll save it for the obligatory 2011 recap post in about a week. ;)
In the meantime, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite “why didn’t I think of that?”: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Krispies. My favorite cereal on earth in krispie form!
Favorite wrist bling: Michael Kors Runway Rose Gold Watch. I tried this on the other day at Nordstrom and almost died. It is SO beautiful!
Favorite moment. ’nuff said.
Favorite getaway. If you ever see me lounging in a hammock hanging from a palm tree over the ocean, slap me. Then get me a pina colada.
or one of these…
Favorite sip: Skinny Clementine Martini. Perfect for those cuties that are now in season.
Favorite workout: FitSugar Full-Body Circuit Workout. I’m trying this out today as part of my LAST workout in the 20 Day Holiday Workout Challenge!!!!
Favorite switch up: Cheese Enchilada Stacks. An easier, cooler way to serve enchiladas.
Favorite party dress: ASOS Tulip Dress. They also have this in Navy. I can’t decide which one’s cuter.
Favorite Sunday supper: Ricotta Dumplings with Chevre & Herbs. Thinking I can turn my luck around with ricotta dumplings with this recipe. Plus it’s got chevre, so even it it bombs…I still have chevre! ;)
Favorite knock out holiday dessert: Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cake with White Chocolate Candy Cane Ganache. AHHH!!! :D :D :D
Favorite furball. I think…I want a dog! Ben and I are going to discuss after the holidays!
Favorite festive pumps: Sofia Vergara Women’s Tipsy Red Carpet Pump from – get ready for it – KMART! These are SO cute!
Favorite festive serving platter: DIY Mint Platters. You have to check these out – they’d be perfect for Christmas or New Years!
And with that, I am out! Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, happy holiday and spectacular new year!
LOVE that watch! And I don’t even wear watches…but I totally want it!!
Merry Christmas!
I have not seen these Sh*t Girls Say videos, I am LMAO here at work! Thanks for sharing.
Also, give me a slice of that cake, with a side of the cinnamon krunch marshmallow bar, a drking, all while hanging in the hammock, with the sparkly shoes on and a puppy on my lap. I would be one happy gal!
great choices as always for the Friday Favorites! i want one of those stacked enchiladas RIGHT NOW! please adopt a shelter dog! there are so many that need a good home! if you don’t fall in love with one on your first visit, go again and again! unfortunately, they get a new batch of homeless critters in every day.
Please rescue if you get a dog! The Story County Animal Shelter in Nevada has a $25 adoption fee and the dogs are spayed/neutered.
Yup, still have my pumpkins on our front porch as well. I just hid them behind the poinsettias.
Also…I highly recommend getting a dog! My husband and I adopted a boxer two weeks ago. Don’t get me wrong, she is a handful…but it is unbelievable how much joy and love she has brought into our home in just two short weeks. I can’t imagine life without her.
Merry Christmas!
I have the MK watch in silver and I wear it every day. They are perfect! And… ohmygosh a dog?! Make sure to adopt, don’t shop! :)
I loooove that Michael Kors watch! A colleague of mine got one from her husband last year, and I knew I had to have one. Not sure I could pull of rose gold, but I’d take silver or regular gold.
Happy and blessed Christmas and New Years to you too. And I hear from my siblings that had pets first that dogs are good prep for parenting, plus they need to be walked every day so there’s exercise too. Other good benefits too!
That cake…oh that cake.
That watch.
Those shoes.
You’re killing me dude!
Lovin this post as usual :) That pink dress is adorable… and the cinnamon toast crunch rice krispie bars? Yum to say the very least
I have to check out those videos too… I need a good laugh
Happy Holidays!
Oh man, I just came across those videos via facebook this week… I couldn’t control my laughter. SO FUNNY. One of my favorites is “take these chips away from me” and then the other scene where she’s stuffing her face with chips. Love the workout too!
Those videos are hilaaaaaarious! I know right!!
Don’t worry about the pumpkins. Ours are still at our front door, bordering the welcome mat…with our Christmas wreath hanging above!!! All 3 of our pumpkins are still in tip-top shape so we feel so bad about getting rid of them!
Hahah, ok phew! ;) We keep meaning tho throw ours away, but they just sit week after week along the side of the garage in pristine shape as well!
Paint them silver and incorporate into xmax decorations!
