Fabulous Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Has this been a long week for you? It sure has been for me.  Nothing especially hard or trying really happened this week but I think the fluctuation of weather has put me through the ringer this week- warm, cold, windy, and rainy. Can Mother Nature make up her mind?!

This sunset from the other day gave me such hope that Spring was really on its way!

I have been struggling through my current book- What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan. I can’t seem to really dive into it.  I think i might try to jump into another one on my nightstand. Does any one else feel like they hold books hostage from the library. You have such high hopes to read them when you are at the library and then by the time you get home and its weeks later, they are scared, untouched and want to go back to the library BUT no, you have you little hands on these books and you don’t want to give them up that quickly (ITS BEEN THREE WEEKS—- the books say!)

Here are some of my favorites from the week:

Classic Dad Outfits in 2020
This is way too funny. I couldn’t stop laughing reading this. These outfits in 2020 are ridiculous looking but they are so much fun. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for my entire life!”

Why Courting is Better than Dating
This article is very interesting. Dating in 2020 is hard and I don’t think I am the only one who agrees. Courting seems to be a little more focused and more intentional about how you go about spending your time with someone you hope to have a relationship with. I have been devouring articles about this and it seems intriguing.

Pantone New Color Collection
Pantone never ceases to amaze me. They are ‘the color authority’ and somehow they keep coming up with more and more colors. I don’t know how they do it. This new collection has 315 new hues in addition to their already very large catalog of color clocking in at 2,625 different hues. Can I work at Pantone?!

Carrie Underwood’s New Fitness and Nutrition Book
I am just going to say what everyone is thinking, Carrie Underwood has amazing legs and from what I have read her leg workouts are killer! She has created this book that she wished she had years ago. I am eager to dive into and see if she shares any more secrets on how to use exercise as your medicine to feel the best you can.

Before and After: House Plants
This is absolutely amazing; what a little love, attention and care can do to a houseplant. I personally talk to my plants each day and try to check in with them all. I feel in the short few weeks since I’ve had the Orchids , they are really blossoming and the one I thought was dormant, is starting to bud! Proud Plant mom moment !

What are you reading?

I’m linking up with Andrea, Narci and Erika for Friday Favorites.
