Friday Favorites

Friday, we meet again. As summer draws closer, the weeks have started going by faster and faster. I continuously find myself thinking the week will never end, only to find that Friday has arrived in no time. We are now in the season of patio nights, summer dresses, and sangria. And I couldn’t be more excited. In preparation of summer, Friday Favorites Posts seem to be the perfect way for me to share all the little things that you need in your life.

1. Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Lip Balm
I can pretend it’s just a summer thing but let’s be real, lipstick is an all year staple for so many of us. I find lipstick to be the easiest way for me to instantly change my simplistic makeup to that ideal “A game” status with the perfect shade. However, the downside to lipstick is that no matter how moisturizing it claims to be, my lips become instantly chapped and dry. Luckily I found the perfect solution - Maybelline’s Baby Lips Dr. Rescue. There are a variety of different shades; I prefer the clear because seriously I slather this stuff on.




2. White High Top Converse
Now we all strive to be as put together and stylish as we can, but i’ll be the first to admit that realistically it just isn’t always possible. Seemingly just a pair of sneakers, my White High Top Converse have become a godsend for outfits that just need a little extra. Whether you’re a high top or low top kind of girl, you can’t go wrong with white. You might be worried about the pure stark white perfection of these beauties. Here’s a little secret: spray them with fabric sealant to prevent scuffs and stains. Get yourself a pair, throw on your favorite black skinnies, a simple tank and a jean jacket. Whallah! You’re good to go.



3. Toasted Coconut Vanilla Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt
I still haven’t come to grips on the fact that summer no longer means tanning poolside, vacations, and spending countless hours out with friends. Here in the real world, we work. All summer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t at least take a five minute break at your desk to pretend you’re on the beach. This Toasted Coconut Vanilla Yogurt will take you there. I promise. Peal open your heavenly yogurt, sit back, close your eyes, and just imagine it. I can hear the waves crashing now.



4. A Thousand Wishes Bath & Body Works
During the warmer months it’s time to switch up your scent to something fruity and fun. I’m a huge fan of body sprays. Obviously there’s a time and place for high priced perfumes. But for those of us on a budget I’ll stick with my Bath & Body Works. A Thousand Wishes is my absolute favorite. It’s fruity but sophisticated. Plus, I’m a sucker for good packaging, and this one is just gorgeous. Immerse yourself in A Thousand Wishes and you’ll be smelling like summer.



5. Matcha
Need I say more? If you don’t know about matcha yet, you need to. It’s basically magical green tea. With matcha I guarantee you will feel refreshed. Here’s what you do. Go to Starbucks and order a venti ice water with 3 scoops of matcha and 2 sweet n low. Then you fall in love. But seriously this simple drink packs major health benefits. It seems too good to be true that something so delicious can be so nutritious but it’s real.



Do you have any Friday Favorites? We would love to hear what you're loving this week!
