Hello everyone! Happy Friday! I am out of town today on a weekend getaway! It’s nice to break up the routine and rhythm and do something a little different. Plus, it was also nice to escape the snow we got this past week. My poor flowers!
Even though, I am out of town, I would be remiss if I didn’t pop in to say hello. More about my trip is coming later, but for now, I wanted to share some highlights of this week as I link up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites!
Here’s a look at what I have been loving this week.
Audiobooks- I have been on an audiobook roll. As soon as I finish one, I immediately start looking for another to download. I get my audiobooks through Libby, which is an app that connects you to titles through your local library. I use Libby to read books on my phone and iPad and to listen to audiobooks. It makes me feel good that I am supporting my local library and saving money too! Whenever I download a new audiobook, the time remaining to listen is always daunting, but it goes by so fast when I try to listen as much as I can. I will listen at the gym, on a run, (if I’m not listening to a weekly podcast) and in the car. I find myself getting lost in the stories that time flies. I also think it has a lot to do with the narrator too. Plus, it’s a great way to get more reading in too!
Chocolate Orange Slices- I ventured into Marshall’s to see what was new for spring and walked out with more than I expected. I purchased these chocolate orange slices as an impulse buy and it was a good purchase. I love the sweetness that they carry. It’s just enough to have a few slices to satisfy your sweetness cravings. I love anything chocolate covered or flavored and these were a win for me. A perfect snack or dessert treat.
New Shoes– Another Marshall’s find! I was looking for a fun new summer sandal and these slides were calling my name. I like how they are dressier than a regular flip flip or sandal and I love the platform. The rick-rack is very beachy and summery. I can see myself wearing these with shorts, a sundress, or even a flowy skirt. I know I will be getting a lot of use out of them this summer and can’t wait for warmer temperatures.
Rice Crisps– Do you sense a trend with impulse buys?! I saw these advertised at Target and was intrigued to try them. I enjoy regular rice cakes especially with peanut butter and banana and when I saw these mini chips/crisps, they looked like the perfect snack companion. They did not disappoint. I love the cinnamon apple flavoring and the mini version. There was also other flavoring like caramel and chocolate, but I think I will stick to the apple cinnamon for now. But, if you see them at the store, give them a try.
Simplified Launch Day– Last week was Simplified Cover Reveal Day and this week was their Launch Day. Even though I didn’t buy anything this time around, I love all their launch day activities and product launches. As of now, this will be my planner pick for next year, but it was so hard to choose, with so many beautiful covers. If you are a fan of Simplified, what cover or products will you be choosing?
That’s a look into some favorite things from this week! I should have named this post things I bought, but didn’t need, but I am satisfied with all my purchases and I know I am getting good use out of them. It’s hard to resist items at the store when they look so good.
I am going to end this post with a mug I saw at Marshall’s, but did not purchase. My wallet was thanking me. Haha!
Have a great weekend and I will see you back here on Wednesday for another post!
