Happy Friday everyone!
My apologies for being randomly MIA this week. A combo of spring fever, a full moon (I always sleep terribly during the week of a full moon) and taking on too much in my personal life has left me feeling like I’d lose my head if it weren’t firmly attached to my body.
Thanks to Evernote, Google Tasks, and Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss’s (seriously delicious) I think I’m back on track, and feeling super organized.
By the way, would you guys enjoy a post on how I (try) and stay organized in my daily life? My boss and I get a kick out of sharing tips and tricks with each other, which made me think you would too.
At any rate, please enjoy a roundup of my favorite finds from around the web and beyond in this week’s Friday Favorites, and have a super weekend!
Favorite thing in the whole wide world: Kate Spade Gramercy Watch. PER.FEC.TION!
Favorite sweet treat: Healthified Carrot Cake. This looks incredibly moist, and check out that frosting!
Favorite tutorial: 15 Ways to Pull Back Your Bangs. Perfect timing for the windy spring and warmer weather ahead.
Favorite brunch: Breakfast Bread. Kind of like breakfast casserole stuffed inside a baguette. Genius!
Favorite dream home piece: Readable Bookcase. HOW COOL IS THIS?! Click the link to see it all filled it up.
Favorite story: You need to read this story about a mysterious, sleepy dog. It is a HOOT!
Favorite soup: Chicken Gnocchi Soup. Easy & pleasy!
Favorite earrings: Boho Drops. I am really into bright colors this spring.
Favorite exterior. RIGHT?! All the things!
Favorite bite: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites. I cannot wait to make these – and how cute for Easter with colored almonds in the middle!
Favorite place: Elan Valley, Wales. Which is the sky and which is the water?
Favorite idea: Find the Time Print. So easy to recreate on the computer – and what a great reminder!
Favorite Friday night food: Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips with Chipotle Ranch Sauce. These look like Granite City Idaho Nachos – my fave!
Favorite DIY: Map Artwork. Stitch your vacation path on a map with bright red string, then frame it. Love this idea!
Favorite BLERG: Peanut Butter Passion Cake. I might start making this cake for every single one of my friend’s & family’s birthdays. BLERG!
Favorite sip: Skinny Sangria. This looks ruthlessly refreshing!
Favorite kicks: Sperry South Hampton Wedge. Adorable for the summertime!
Favorite hairspiration: Top Knots. I straight up had a dream earlier this week that I had a rockin’ top knot after seeing this pic! ;)
Favorite print: Holstee Manifesto. Must. Have. ASAP. Love, love, love, this – I want it front and center somewhere in my house!
Favorite bite: Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Glaze. There is NOTHING about these that I don’t adore!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
did you watch the video that goes with the Holstee Manifesto?? made me get a lump in my throat the first time i watched it… aaaand i bought the print 2 seconds later.
it’s in our kitchen right now, where we spend most of our time. it’s truly a great reminder of how good life can be, only if you WANT it to be, and “just do it.” (not to be stealing any slogan’s from old school nike ads) …and that life’s all about how you see your life in YOUR eyes, and not try to live through someone else’s eyes.
on another note, that chicken gnocchi soup is on the menu for next week! looks so delicious :D
i wish i knew how to do a topknot w/ my hair!!
O-M-G! Peanut Butter Passion cake looks RE-diculous… I would have to do A LOT of Body Rockin after taking a face-dive into that puppy
Leiny’s Berry Weiss is where it’s AT!!!!
Absolutely love your Friday Favorites. You rock!
I would like one of every single food item you posted here (especially the sweet stuff) AND a full pitcher of that sangria. WOW!
Have a great weekend!
Love it! You always find the coolest things!
Woahhh I’ve never heard of people not sleeping well during full moon weeks? Is that really true? Maybe that explains my restlessness…
Also – i. want. that. watch.
Yes, it happens every time – I hate it!
I’m going to have to start paying more attention to that!
I have NEVER put that together–but I slept HORRIBLY this week as well! I will blame it on the full moon & keep fingers crossed for better sleep next week! (Tonight may need a dose of Tylenol PM…I feel like a walking zombie!)
I love Friday Favorites, but they always leave me craving something! Food, travel, shopping… HELP!
Oh wow, I’m loving everything in this post! The outside of that house…AMAZEBALLS :). And that cake, good lawd I’d be in heaven eating that.
I would love to hear your organization tips! Great post! BTW I missed breakfast and all that stuff looks supper yummy. : )
As always, awesome post. I seriously wish my hair was long enough to put into a top knot now. And that I had enough money for that watch. Not to mention, I’m craving that gnocchi soup like crazy now. Happy Friday! I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend. :)
All looks awesome!! That watch it to die for!!
