Friday Favorites #80

Hey there sweet friends! Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your Friday. This week was all about getting back in the groove around here. There was grocery shopping to be done...at all the stores. Laundry to get caught up on. Boxes to open that had been delivered while I was gone. Mail to go through and so on. You get the picture. Right?

Now I have piles. Piles of clothes to put away, piles of things to return and piles of things that are just organized to be taken care of.

I did manage to find a few things to share as favorites, so let's get to it.
               

This was good for a chuckle.

           

One of my many stops this week was of course Target. I cruised through the clothes and picked up 2 dresses to bring home and try on. (which I still need to do) I also saw this cute bell sleeve sweater and couldn't resist trying it on. In store they also had it in gray. It was soft and cozy and all things a girl loves in a sweater. And oh yeah, hey Target, clean your mirrors.😜

                 

Nannying is giving this girl right here a little taste of the mom life and I'm how show we say, feeling validated. LOL On a side note. Check out her lashes! Are YOU ready to try Lash Boost???
                     


Check this out! We love all things GODIVA! I was just cruising through WalMart minding my own business when I did a double take. GODIVA is now making pudding mixes?!?! I have no idea why this excites me, because frankly we don't do much pudding eating around here, but I was all happy when I saw this.

I don't know if you know this, but if you don't you're going to want to thank me here in a second.
Did you know...
If you join the GODIVA club and spend $10 a year you then earn a FREE piece of chocolate EVERY MONTH. Yep! Just walk into the GODIVA store and tell them you want your monthly piece. Easy as pie. That's seriously a great deal. OH, and you get a $10 reward on your birthday, so really your getting CHOCOLATE FOR FREE!
🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

                        

And speaking of chocolate. If you missed Wednesday's post about this decadent cake you should really check it out. After Kent saw the blog he came home saying, "maybe we should get some out of the freezer".

These were some of the boxes that came while I was away.


I love the new redesigned AMP MD roller. Did you know that rolling aka micro-needling is beneficial for stimulating collagen reproduction? And collagen is what helps combat all those pesky little lines. The reformulated Intensive Renewing Serum contains RetinAl with a capital A because it has vitamin A in it. It's 20X more potent than Retinol. This is the strongest retinoid you can get without a prescription. It's specially formulated to deliver maximum results with reduced potential for irritation making it safe for even sensitive skin.
If you've been thinking about trying some of these amazing products, now's the perfect time. I always love a gift with purchase and that's what we're offering. You get this great carrying bag when purchase the AMP MD system. If you purchase the AMP MD and a regimen then you get 20% off both plus 10% off for Preferred Customers and FREE shipping. (that's a savings of almost $75...more than enough to get an eye cream 👀)

Okay, this next part wasn't a favorite, but I wanted to share.


Northern California has been having terrible fires. A lot of people have lost their homes and some have lost their lives. It's been really scary for this state. We live about an hour from where the fires have been. They have finally gotten them under control. THANKFULLY!

Tuesday when I went out to Target the air was really smokey and smelled terrible. I called Kent and he said the wind must have shifted up north and was carrying the smoke down here. Well when I got home I found out why it was so smokey. This hills behind our neighborhood had caught on fire. It was CRAZY. The big plane was flying so low right over our house and then dropping the flame retardant stuff on the fire. Fire trucks were coming up and down the streets and a few streets had to be evacuated. It was a little nerve racking.

Thankfully they got it put out and all is well. It burned about 40 acres. In the picture below you can see a small portion of the burnt area.

This is my current favorite shirt. I love everything about it and get compliments and turned heads every single time I wear it. For the moment it's sold out, but you girls who know Nordstrom know to keep checking because it can just as easily pop back up. These booties are back on sale too and they are a new favorite for sure. As for my jeans, well you know I've been loving my Old Navy jeans this year and these have built in sculpt and are on super sale.


P.S. EVERYTHING at LOFT is 40% off with code FRIENDS
EVERYTHING at ANTHROPOLOGIE is 25% off. No code needed.

WHEW, that about does. Every single week I sit down and wonder what I'm going to talk about and every single week I end up with quite the list.

Have a great weekend! I can hardly believe October is 2/3 over and in a little over a week we leave for Hawaii!

  2. Hmmmm...where to start. Let's see. Gorgeous Katie's eye lashes. Really? Is there anything NOT gorgeous about her? She's a beauty and her lashes are fabulous.
    I love that sweater from Target, too cute. I haven't seen it here yet and I can't get the link to work. We are actually having a cold front next week. Yup, the high is only going to be 78! You know what that means? All the Florida girls are going to be decked out in boots, scarves, and jackets. With the AC on high. For two days we'll have Fall! Me? I'll be rocking a long cardigan, I'm already scheming what I can wear to get my Fall on.
    You'll be happy to know I am a Godiva member, in fact I have been a proud member for almost 10 years! I rarely get my chocolate because I'm hardly ever shopping in person but when I'm there you know I'm all over it.
    As soon as this dang kitchen is completed I am making your cake. And Andrea's cookies. And buying Godiva pudding. And shopping for larger clothes which I'll be needing if bake and eat all that food.
    On a more serious note...the fires break my heart. How devastating to an absolutely beautiful landscape. The homes lost. The lives lost. Ugh, gut wrenching. When we had bad fires a few years back the smell of smoke was so bad we couldn't let the kids go outside for PE or recess. Serious stuff. Even though the fires were about an hour away the wind carried the smoke and even some ash. Everything looked dirty. God bless everyone dealing with this, especially those precious first responders who are exhausted but not giving up.
    Okay girl, you should be getting a package today or tonight! I hope you have a marvelous weekend my dear!
    xo,

    1. I can totally relate to your lack of fall like weather. We have much of the same here. This week it finally dropped to the 60's so I was able to pull out some of my sale things. It's supposed to go back up in the 80's next week. We desperately need rain to combat all the dryness. Every time we drive up the hill to our house we can see that big black burned hill. It's kinda eery. Hopefully the rain will start soon. You are such a darling, dear, sweet friend. I was over the moon opening my utterly perfect gift. I swear I wish we lived in the same town. I know we'd have the best time together. Have a wonderful weekend sweet friend!!! Love ya' girl! XOXO

  3. No wonder that's a favorite shirt.....CA....UTE!!! And let's talk your hair, your beautiful cascading curls.....so pretty! I am so thankful that the fires didn't come any closer. Eek I'm so excited for your trip, Mr. Nine and I will make it some day, with how much over we are on the house, we could've gone a dozen times, lol. You will have a ball! Have a sweet, restful weekend!

    1. Your house is going to be so worth it! I can't wait to build our dream home one of these days. I got several inches taken off my hair while I was in Nashville and it's so much easier to manage. Hopefully the rains will start soon and help with all the dryness. You and Mr. Nine have a wonderful weekend!!! XOXO

  5. I'm so sorry about the fires. That is so scary, and I have been watching the news about California every day. That sweater is so cute! I haven't made pudding in quite awhile, but I might have to try the Godiva version! Have a wonderful weekend!

    1. Thanks Tanya! Natural disasters are the worst and guess fires fall under that category. You know a lot about that too. I'm going to have to pickup a box of that pudding too. I guess I was shocked I took leave of my senses and didn't buy it....LOL Have a great weekend!!! XOXO

  7. A free piece of chocolate every month?! What is this madness? How did I not know about this?!
    Also, glad to hear that you guys weren't too badly impacted by the fires! My bffl works in Palo Alto and said it was all smoky there too. Either that area or closer to her house (near San Jose) had a forecast of "smoke" in the weather app. Like, what?!

    1. You better get yourself all signed up! We are pigs and get the biggest piece we can and then share it.🐷 (Hazelnut caramel cluster....YUM) They have this thing called "spare the air" days and you whenever our daughter was going to have kids over for a bonfire, we'd have to check to make sure it wasn't one of those days. Oh California, you drive me crazy!!!😜

  8. Oh, my lashes are unbelievable since using Lash Boost for 4 months. I get excited putting my mascara on everyday. :o)) And, the roller, I got mine just before the new one came out. Shucks! Glad you all were okay during the fires. So awful! A great list of favorites and I do love that blouse too!

    1. Yay for long lashes!!! Lea, if you've had the roller less than 60 days and want the new one, I'd say return the old one and just reorder the new one. It shouldn't be a problem with the 60 day money back guarantee. Just a thought. XOXO

  9. Well Lisa I loved this post and started doing a 5 for Friday myself, last weekend. So sorry about the fires. But girl you look red hot in that pretty plaid top with your gorgeous curls and thank you so much for letting me know about Godiva which I know. I will most definitely sign up!

    Welcome by Thursdays every week and linkup with me. Love your style. Thanks, Ada. =)
