Happy Friday!!! We made it š
I have a whole bunch of favorite things I want to share with y’all today…just some things I’m lovin’ lately everywhere from smoothies to home decor to makeup and more.
1. Kevita Kombucha. Ā This ginger kombucha is so yummy. Ā I got it at Harris Teeter and the ginger flavor is so good. Ā It’s definitely a filling drink so I like to have it with a salad at lunch a lot of days a week and it helps keep me fuller into the afternoon!

2. Terra Lip Sheer. Ā I’m obsessed with this lip sheer. Ā It is so soft on your lips, it almost feels like a cloud. Ā I don’t know how else to describe it!! Not greasy like some chapsticks but so smooth. Ā And this might be weird, but I think it smells so good too! Never a bad thing for your lips to smell nice š Ā This color is Terra and I love that it’s a great neutral color with a touch of pink.

3.Ā Clean Juice Smoothies. Ā In particular The Double One. Ā OH how much I loved this! I got the biggest size aka bigger than my head. Ā It hasĀ Spinach, Swiss Chard, Banana, Almond Butter, Maple Syrup, Almond Milk, and protein powder. Ā I am definitely going to try to recreate this at home some time, only because the Clean Juice location is currently a little far from me, but they are opening one nearby soon so…hello addiction!! Ha!

4. Master Bedroom progress. Ā We moved into our first home in November and it’s still coming together. Ā Our master bedroom is making progress as we finally got our king bed and mattress a few weeks ago. Ā I really want to change out the lamps and get some nice artwork or something to goĀ over the bed. Ā Will keep you all posted as it continues to get better but I’m loving the bed as it is now!

5. Let’s Stay Home. Ā More home decor picks!! I got this print here, I used shutterfly to print it out and got a frame from Michaels. Ā I love how it looks on the mantle. Ā So cozy and homey!!!

6. My favorite running shoes are currently on sale! Ā These are an older model but I find they work best for me…and the good news about getting an older model is generally you don’t have to pay as much for them! Ā Good by me! Ā They are on sale here and here.

7. These items:

one. Ā two. Ā three. Ā four. Ā five.
six. Ā seven. Ā eight. Ā nine. Ā ten.
8. My favorite protein powder. Ā I am obsessed with Growing Naturals protein powder. Ā It’s hands down my favorite and I have never found one I like more. Ā I generally get the vanilla brown rice protein powder as my mainstay but have some other flavors too! They are great for baking treats or changing up the smoothie routine. Ā I used the strawberry one for this strawberry banana smoothie.

9. My HUSBAND! Ā He is always one of my favorites, but today is his 30th birthday and for that he is even more special than on a normal day š Ā We are going out to dinner tonight to a fun spot and have this delicious birthday cake, made by me, for dessert!! It’s the same one I made on my birthday, except I dressed it up a little differently with icing and more masculine sprinkles Ā as compared to the pink one I putĀ on mine! š Ā But seriously, it’s the best cake ever. Ā Make it. Ā You don’t need a birthday (we’ve just used it as a reason to make it almost 2 weeks in a row).





What are you loving lately? Any good finds?
Have a great weekend!!

Bess
