Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you had a great work week and are ready for the weekend. It’s the weekend before Valentine’s Day, which means it’s time to bring out all the heart shaped treats and goodies, put on a cute outfit and celebrate LOVE this weekend or early next week.
I made these heart shaped peanut butter cookies last week from Mix and Match Mama and they were so good and the perfect way to enjoy February!
Before we head into the weekend, I have a fun round up of Friday Favorites for you as I link up with Erika and Andrea.
Let’s Dive in!
MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street- I just finished this four part documentary series on Netflix and really found it interesting. I knew who Bernie Madoff was and what he did, but never knew the whole story and all the background. I found this mini-series to be fascinating and informative. I really liked how they re-enacted crucial moments in history in addition to the interviews of those involved. You can finish this in a weekend or over the course of the week after work. Netflix did a really good job with this docu-series.
Covergirl Concealer- I’m trying a new concealer from Covergirl and I’m loving it. For the longest time, I was using their concealer stick for makeup touch ups. But I wanted to try this new liquid concealer and I have been happy with the results so far. It goes on super smooth and blends really well. There are so many different shades, so you can match it easily to your skin tone. I’m always hesitant to try new makeup products but have been happy with this new concealer so far.
Midnight at the Pera Palace-The winter months have me hunkering down and watching shows and movies on my watchlist on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Midnight at the Pera Palace has been on my watch list for months and I finally got around to watching it and wish I had watched it earlier. There’s only one season so far and there’s eight episodes in season one, so it’s not too much of a time commitment. It’s a Turkish show, but you can watch it in English and with subtitles. It follows the story of a young journalist who does a story about an old hotel and realizes there’s more to the hotel than its history. Hint: it involves time travel and making sure the past doesn’t affect the future. 10/10 recommendation.
Caramel Apple Bourbon Trail Mix– I love trying new trail mixes and snacks from Target and Giant Eagle. This trail mix is the perfect mix between sweet and salty. There’s cranberries, almonds, apple bites and pretzels. I’ve been enjoying this with lunch or as an afternoon snack. Just enough flavor for an afternoon pick me up.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris– I saw so many previews for this movie and couldn’t wait to watch the movie. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris follows the story of a woman who works as a house cleaner and looks to fulfill her dream of wearing a designer gown. This movie takes her from England to Paris where she gets a newfound sense of confidence and makes some friends along the way. This movie will have you dreaming of a trip to Paris! Such a cute mother/daughter or girlfriend movie!
That’s just a look at some things I’m loving this week. Tell me! What are your plans for the weekend? Do you plan on celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy Friday!
