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!

    You can buy the Holstee Manifesto poster on Fab.com right now for $19! I ordered myself on yesterday :)

      1. Daaaaaaang, it’s sold out! :(
      2. Where has this site been all my life? Holy awesomeness!

      1. Elissa says:

        Oh bummer! This is the second time they’ve done a sale on that poster since I’ve joined (about 4 months) so I’m sure it will show up again! Just be patient!

        So many amazing things on this site. And new sales every day! Ridiculousness. Have fun with it! And I’m going to apologize now for fab taking all of your money.
