Friday Favorites


We made it to another weekend…well once 5 o’clock hits!! Pretty jam packed weekend ahead for me including a friends wedding, but before I can get to that I’m liking up with the amazing Amandaand fabulous Christina to share my favorites from this past week!!







Favorite Beauty Vlogger 

I’m not really sure how I stumbled upon Casey Holmes’ Youtube page, but I love her videos. Most recently she’s done a few Fall make-up looks that I’m loving!! 




Favorite Recipe 

I’ve been trying to incorporate more chicken into our weeknight meals and this Grilled Bruschetta Chicken is a quick and easy meal!! 







Favorite Workout 

So this 30 minute workout is intense, but all you need is one set of weights and you’re on your way to a great sweat session!! 




Favorite New Find 


We planned to marinate steaks for dinner one night and I stumbled upon these Jack Daniels Marinader’s! Each bag comes with a premixed liquid marinade and you don’t have to worry about trying to fumble with the meat and marinade yourself!! It was amazing and I can’t wait to try the other flavors! 







Favorite Look

I mean I have no words for the beauty that is Blake Lively!! She looked flawless at last weeks event and if you go to the article – there is a smirk that Ryan Reynolds has that sort of says “yep, she’s that gorgeous!”

    There is nothing that I don't love about this post! That bruschetta chicken looks right up my alley, and my husband will be thrilled about those Jack Daniels marinades. Blake Lively is seriously on another level of super human – no woman is supposed to look THAT gorgeous when she's pregnant! I mean seriously. I almost makes me depressed, ha ha. Paul Rudd's lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon is one of my all-time favorite videos. Hope you have a great time at the wedding and a great weekend! xo
