Happy Friday everyone!
This week went crazy fast, and I can’t believe another weekend is already on the horizon. No complaints here! ;)
Ben and I have some fun plans lined up over the next couple of days, starting with date night tonight. It’s been way too long.
In the meantime, check out my favorite finds from around the web in this week’s Friday Favorites!
Favorite Valentine’s Day treat: Pink Champagne Cupcakes. Pink Champagne Cake with buttercream icing is by FAR my favorite cake (it was the top tier of Ben’s and my wedding cake!) These individual-sized cupcakes would be perfect for V-day!
Favorite easy ‘do: Quick Twist. Elegant AND it works for short-medium length hair.
Favorite bite: Mini Mexican Chili Bites. Wish I would have found these before the Super Bowl – they are so stinkin’ cute!
Favorite bikini buster: Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars. As if the 10 (yes, TEN) boxes of Girl Scout Cookies Ben brought home last week weren’t tempting enough…
Favorite bling: Gold Vermeil Nugget earrings. Simple yet unique, and could work with a casual or dressy outfit.
Favorite funny. BAHAHAHA!
Favorite side: Cheesy Italian Bread. Oh my, this recipe is pure genius! The cheese combos are endless, too!
Favorite sweet accent: Heart Earrings. I let out an audible awwww when I saw these sweet studs.
Favorite find: How-To Make Popular Chinese Food Recipes. Droyling. (Drooling/dying.)
Favorite spot: Bora Bora Mansion on the Water. How much fun would it be to round up like 10 of your friends and rent this place out for a week?!
Favorite outfit. Beachy/chic. I totally dig.
Favorite vacation find: Bandau Bikini. I’m into white bikinis right now, and this would be perfect for Negril!
Favorite sip: Bahama Mama. COME to mama! Tropical thoughts are taking over my brain!
Favorite furball. HAHAHAHA, hungry spice.
Favorite accent: Gold Dipped Bar Bracelet. Kind of an upscale, grown up friendship bracelet, you know? Plus those colors are SO spring!
Favorite picture. Talk about the ultimate wedding bouquet. These colors are gorgeous!
Favorite print: United Stereotypes of America. Tee hee – this gave me a little giggle. ;)
Favorite cozy spot. I love the cozy, log cabin vibe of the huge wooden beams in this kitchen.
Favorite easy treat: Sugar Cookie Bars. I couldn’t resist! Now THESE might be the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert!
Have a superfunandhappy weekend, everyone! :D

sad I missed the giveaway!
I made both the Pink Champagne Cupcakes AND the Sugar Cookie Bars for a bake sale at work. They were both PHENOMENAL, not to mention the cupcakes were the PERFECT PINK. You understand the importance of that. I am now a living legend at my workplace for those cupcakes and bars. The bars were a thick, chewy, soft, almost sugar cookie dough like (because you really don’t want to overbake them at all) with an equal amount of frosting to bar which IMO is essential. Friday Favorites are my favorites, I’ve tried so many recipes from things you’ve posted on FF but these 2 are definitely at the top of the list. Thanks for doing the legwork! I’d pay you in Pink Champagne Cupcakes and Sugar Cookie Bars but umm, they’ve vanished. :)
Just wanted to say thanks for the shout-out! I hope you love the toffee bars as much as we did here!
[…] took some inspiration from the Italian Bread I featured in this week’s Friday Favorites and made Baked Garlic Bread for the side. Oh. Mg. Gah. SO […]
I made the sugar cookie bars tonight. They are so good! Tastes like a thick chewy sugr cookie – which are my fav Not fattening at all! ;) Thanks for all the wonderful recipes that you always post!
