Does anyone else really enjoy Friday Favorites posts?! I hope they don’t bore you too much because I really love them. People always post about a mix of such cool things and I always end up getting exposed to a new product, a new site, or just a little something to spice up my day! It’s fun to see what other people have been enjoying lately…at least I think so.

So if you’re and FF hater, sooooorry but I am jumping on the bandwagon this week!

My Faves for this lovely Friday…

1. The trailer for the short film I am in!

A Cows Tale Teaser from Howie Murray on Vimeo.

It was just released today! I love how everything is coming together and I am SO excited to see the finished product later this year.

2. Forever 21’s Workout Gear

It’s cheap and really cute…and seems to be pretty good quality too! I just can’t justify spending a ton of money

3. Steamed Kabocha

Since I am on a soft foods diet right now I can really roast up a crispy kabocha like I usually do. But that hasn’t stopped me from getting in some of my favorite food! I actually really like it steamed…it doesn’t lose any of its amazing flavor and the texture is really yummy! Might have to add this method in to the kabocha cooking rotation Smile

4. Healthy Aperture

I know, I know I’ve mentioned this site before (and have even been featured on it a few times Smile ), but this past week there have been some particularly delicious looking dishes. I have my eye on these cinnamon raisin bagels…

Weekend project perhaps?

5. End of the month magazine restock!

I always look forward to the end of the month when all my magazine subscriptions come in the mail!

6. Summery Shoes

I love when all the stores start putting out their Summer clothes…it means we are that much closer to warm weather.

7. This snack…

I mentioned this yesterday. I know it doesn’t look like much but it is seriously delicious! No crunchy fruit for me right now so I heat up a chopped pear with some frozen blueberries until they are both warm and soft, then top with peanut butter. So good. Warm, melty peanut butter…omg.

What are some of your favorite things from the past week?

Any fun weekend plans?

I have hot yoga on the agenda tomorrow morning!! Haven’t gone in a while so I’m pretty excited!

What are your favorite stores to shop at?

When I am trying to be frugal, Marshalls and Forever 21…when I have a bit more money, Aerie and Target!

Have a great (long? I think for some of you!) weekend!!

Happy Almost Weekend Everyone!

Just a quick pop-in from me tonight!

Despite having the week (or at least 4 days of it!) off, I have to go into to school tomorrow for a bit to give a commentary for IB. Basically we go in, are given a random passage/piece of poetry, have twenty minutes to annotate it, and then have to discuss and analyze it for another twenty minutes while be recorded. Talk about stressful!

So I spent the day prepping for that! That means nothing to exciting to share…except:

AN AWESOME GIVEAWAY!

Two giveaways in one week?! You bet!

(speaking of the other giveaway…the winner still hasn’t come forward and if they don’t by Saturday I am picking a new winner!)

And this one is unlike any other one I have ever done before! It’s for all you fashionista’s out there.

A couple of days ago, the nice people over at Shabby Apple offered me the opportunity to share with all of you some of their cute products! I wasn’t very familiar with Shabby Apple prior to them reaching out, but all it took was one trip to their website to know I like their stuff!

They seriously have EVERYTHING! Dresses to skirts to jewelry to swimwear! Even things for your home. And everything has a cool vintage feel to it…totally appropriate for the trends right now!

Some of my faves from the site:

I especially like the fitness gear…everything looks so COMFY!

I highly encourage you to check out the site for yourself! But let your wallets be warned…you might just fall in love with something!

Luckily, for one of you, the people over at Shabby Apple allowed me to pick one item for a giveaway!

Here’s what’s up for grabs:

A beautiful KEY TO WONDERLAND necklace!

Hand made in the USA baby! (oh YEAH.)

I have to admit, I’m a little jealous. I may even consider entering this giveaway myself…just kidding. Maybe. Winking smile
