Friday Favorites

Posted on February 17, 2012

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!!

Friday’s Fun and Favorites

Posted on January 27, 2012

It’s the freakin’ weekend! Hooooooraaaaah! Got my commentary done today…and I am feeling goooood! Another weight lifted off my shoulders and one step closer to my IB diploma (AND GRADUATION!). YES.

Friday’s are one of my favorite days of the week. For obvious reasons of course. But also, because it gives me sometime to reflect on the week…especially all the fun stuff!

Here’s a rundown of the best stuff from the week past:

Posted on January 6, 2012

Hey everyone!

The weekend is FINALLY here! Even though it was a short week, it feels like it took FOREVER to end. I am so happy it’s the weekend…but unfortunately I have a ton of homework. Thanks teachers!

But Friday is strictly for relaxing. No work, no stress…just fun! So tonight I have some fun things to share that I’ve spotted all over the place!

But first…I have an announcement.

I have finally entered the real world.

I am now the proud owner of an IPHONE!!!

Now I can finally discover all the hype about angry birds, the addictiveness of Words with Friends, the convenience of Instagram, the frustration of auto-correct, the amazingness of Siri, and all the other INCREDIBLE things that this piece of technology does! Aaaaah, can’t wait to explore! If you have any tips, must have apps, or anything else ya feel like sharing about the iPhone…please do!!

Okay…deep breaths. Getting a little to excited here.

Moving on.
