Happy Friday, friends! Here’s hoping your week was a good one and that you are looking forward to the upcoming weekend. I know I am! Today I am sharing what I am loving lately – basically a random assortment of this and that! Hope you enjoy it, I am grateful to have you here.
Loving Lately
Some days I have to remind myself that while not every day is good there is good in every day! That’s a bit how this week felt. My job has been very busy and I feel as though there hasn’t been much downtime. But the flipside is that our younger son is home – just for a short break – and I love having him here! Even though he tends to leave things on the counter and not put his laundry away immediately I am practicing acceptance. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try people are who they are. I love him and in order to enjoy our time I NEED to change. So I am. That is definitely the first thing I am loving lately.
On Monday I shared what I ordered from Walmart. Well…I made a mistake and ordered a wine colored bomber jacket instead of black. As much as I like the cuffed jeans, I need to size up one in them. They are a higher waist and I’d be way more comfortable. But you know what I am really enjoying about them? The cuff is sewn that way. In fact you can’t take them down. The hem is unfinished as well so IF you wanted to shorten the length you could.
But let’s take a look at this pretty denim dress. This is a keeper for sure! It’s a heavy weight denim, super sturdy with just a little stretch. Not only does it look good with a sandal but it will be great with a pair of boots. I bought a size small. Oh, yeah, the buttons are fully functional.
Lately I have been loving my new bag too. It’s been so handy! The size has been great for throwing in things I might need like an umbrella or light jacket. I’ve also enjoyed throwing in my water bottle.
Did I ever tell you that I remove my make up with coconut oil? I started doing this quite some time ago after my friend Amy shared it on her blog. It made perfect sense! Cleansing balms are all the rage but they are pricey. This works great! Last Friday I had a facial and told the aesthetician and even she approved! Have you tried this? BTW, it does not need to be organic.
I don’t think I have ever shared my Owala water bottle here or maybe I have? Anyway, back to Amy. She shared her bottle last week I think. It’s the very same one I have. In January I returned my Stanley cup – I hated how heavy it was and frankly I cannot stand all the attention it gets. I think it is way overrated. My older son turned me on to Owala. It literally does not leak! The straw is inside and I’m a fan of that as well.
That wraps up what I’m loving lately. What are you loving? I hope you have a great weekend, one filled with all the kinds of things to nourish your soul deeply after a long week!
