Five Favs on Friday!!

Can you believe it? It's Friday! This week has gone by so fast!! Not working Monday & Tuesday really helped! :o)

Here is my template I am working off of...

1. Exercise or Food item (these two go well together eh?)

2. Etsy or some unique item

3. Decor image

4. Fashion item

5. Website

So here are my top 5!
1. Exercise: I love interval training... I use interval training on any cardio machine, it makes the time go by faster and it burns a ton of calories... Try Shape.com's interval workouts Click HERE

                          

Also, this is my favorite workout of all time.... I noticed results from this workout in less than a month,... Jillian Michael's is awesome! I have used this workout as my go to "get in shape quick" workout since 2008... Click HERE

                       

2. My unique item is "Nose Secret" this is a $35 kit, that comes with these inserts that you put in your nose and they contort your nose so you wouldn't need a nose job,.... If you are interested you can purchase it at http://www.nosesecret.com/.. unique huh? :o)

                                       

3. Kitchens... I have kitchen envy, I can't wait till I have a large kitchen to play in! These are some of my favorite kitchen concepts...



I love these cabinets and beams



This is from a loft in Italy

Marigold... love it.

Definitely want a fireplace in my kitchen... cozy

These are my favorite cabinets, that show the dishes, and I love the veggies out, they really add color to this white room.

Again,... love the exposed dishes.

This is from Martha Stewart's favorite kitchens, and it is definitely one of my favorites too...

I love this organization!

4. I actually have 2 items and I want to share here,... First...these are two purses that I am drooling over... one is by Kate Spade and the over is Simply Vera by Vera Wang

Best price is at Amazon $275

On sale for $45 at Kohls

                                                  

4.1 OK I love these wrap watches... The one by Burberry is my favorite, but being way out of my budget, these wrap watches by swatch (around $50) look perfect!

Perfect for Spring!



Burberry $455






Urban Outfitters has some wrapy watches more reasonably priced too .... $30-45





5. The website,... you need to check out http://www.instructables.com//... it has instructions on how to make arts and crafts, food, decor,... etc... it is pretty cool (Miley Cyrus)

Update!!

Wow, so much has happened in the short time I have been blog-MIA....

Most of you know that my dear friend Anna was expecting a baby boy, Emerson, he wasn't due until March 21st, and first babies are notoriously late,... so I was not worried at all about going out of town for a few days....

Well that Friday I made Anna a motivational board, we thought it would be nice for Anna to have a focus point during the birth, and a fun way to remind her that she is loved...

I thought that making this board was just precautionary...

Saturday was a very busy day...

We had the McGuire's run in the AM,... I made these costumes for Rachel and I... aren't they fun?! :-D If you want a costume for next year, I am taking orders now :o)

sooo many people!

Then after the run, me and mom headed over to New Orleans for my sister Amelia's cheerleading competition,... my mom's best friend Rhela had taken Amelia over to New Orleans that morning to make it in time for her competition...

My mom and her BFF Rhela

me and Amelia

River Walk




We tried 3x to wait in Cafe Du Monde's ridiculously long line.... finally got some!

Well on the way to New Orleans we find out that Anna is having her baby boy Emerson! He was born March 12 at 6:35pm weighing 7lbs 5 ounces! Perfect!



By the way, this is the way that everyone should spend their spring break... just sayin!

For Christian's birthday he asked for a cookies and cream cake.... and I knew just where to go! My best friend Haley Sue has posted a blog before featuring a cookies and cream cupcake recipe, and it was delicious as a birthday cake! Click
HERE - Marital Bliss
 for the recipe!



The cake was a huge hit! yummm!!



And then today, Anna brought Emerson to visit us at work!!!

look at his tiny hand!

I can't believe how beautiful he is!

No more bump on the hump! :o)

Isn't he gorgeous!!!??

That's it, I'm sold, sign me up for one!

Look at his ruffle ears!!

Absolutely precious.

Cranes, no trains or automobiles

Last weekend started out so amazing... my dearest Anna took us to get pedicures at Spa Auburn.... it was so needed and relaxing...

So cute and preggers :o)





                                                           

                                                                  my toes

 

Anna's toes



And this weekend Christian was busy with training and school work..., so I got to be lazy guilt free!! :o)

But I do get to cross off #48 "Learn to fold an origami Crane"....

I had some left over zebra paper from Anna's shower...

This website is what I used, and it was super easy... http://origami.org.uk/origamicrane

Fly 5 on Friday!

  



Happy Friday friends!

I was thinking about my 5 favs, and thought that maybe I needed some continuity or organization...

So I am going to build these 5 favs based off of this template...

1. Exercise or Food item (these two go well together eh?)

2. Etsy or some unique item

3. Decor image

4. Fashion item

5. Website

And by the way, veganism is going great! I have just been chowing down on my veggies and non-dairy goodies :o) ... but soy cheese pizza is gross, if you have a brand that is good, please please please share!! :-D

My 5 Favs For Friday....

1. Newman-O's - these are dairy free organic oreos! sooo good. and they go perfectly with peanut butter

                                                                             

try it, you won't regret it.

2.  I love this seller on Etsy ~ Room Of Your Own, her vintage style is very appealing to me, I love that all of her pieces have a romantic feel to them... my favorite is her white vintage cocktail ring,... here are some of my favorites that she has available...

 

3. I have a few home decor images I want to share,...

I love this cast-iron bath tub,.. I can see the candles now....

There are some items I do not like in this room, but I love the chase and the fire place....

This is from Gwyneth Paltrow's home, this is in her sun room, and I adore that idea....  

The wall paper is gorgeous, the chandelier is amazing, and I love the night stand.


4. I love Dries Van Noten summer 2011 collection, mainly because of the bright colors and captivating patterns...

5. http://www.ecoist.com/ their slogan says it all "Buy a bag, plant a tree" ... not that this will help you want to buy an ecoist bag, but Paris Hilton is set to be their spokesperson... I hope I did not detour you from making this purchase...
