Friday Favorites


Did this week seem long to anyone else…the days sort of just dragged on, but alas we’ve come to Friday and the weekend is ahead!! As per usual linking up with my girl Amandafor some Friday Favorites!




Favorite Workout

Back with my favorite fitness gals and this arm routine does not disappoint! I did this on Monday and come Wednesday I was still sore – that made me happy! 11 minutes of non-stop arm work!! 

Favorite Indulgence

As soon as the temps warm up I stock up on pops!! These bring back so many summer memories for me and at $3.00/box for 100 it’s well worth it!! 





Favorite Recipe


I was pinning food on Pinterest left and right this week!! I found this Tomato-Basil & Spinach risotto and my mouth instantly started watering!! Does anyone else have an unhealthy obsession with risotto…this recipe seems to be light and fresh! 





Favorite Look of the Week

Jessica Alba looked amazing in this Preen red/orange dress!! I love that it looks like the dress is actually a two piece but it’s the most delicate detailing at the waist that is holding it together! 





Favorite Show

Suits season premier was on Wednesday night and I can’t say enough about the first 5 minutes – AMAZING! I’m not sure if you guys watch, but you should definitely start! I know that season one is on Netflix (not streaming) and the other seasons should be there as well! Three piece suits never looked so good…





Favorite Links


+These hilarious thoughts most men have while watching Bravo


+Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere shows us how to fake calligraphy


+These stunning photos from an Oregon wedding that make the rain on my day seem like nothing










Hope you will come back on Monday for our Weekending link-up!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 

Weekending

Also linking up with Christina and April.

    The risotto looks delish. I love that calligraphy tutorial. I used that method for some gift wrapping at christmas. The Bravo link is too funny and those wedding pics are amazing! Rain is supposed to be lucky right?XO

    That risotto looks amazing!

    I don't even bother trying to watch my Bravo shows sometimes because that's all I hear lol. I prefer to watch my trashy [amazing] TV alone!

    That risotto looks so good! And yes to popsicles!!! My handwriting isn't even remotely as good as Emily's so I wouldn't even begin to be able to fake that calligraphy. And that wedding picture is crazy! Happy Friday doll!!

    That arm workout is KILLER. Those Tone It Up girls are my favorite! And I am obsessed with those fire pictures. I was figuring out how I could recreate this (I wish I was kidding). See you Monday! 🙂 xo

    Those ice pops remind me of my childhood, and when I worked at a summer camp. 🙂 That recipe looks delicious, and thanks for sharing the work out since I'm always looking for new work outs and recipes! 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend! 🙂

    I used to love those pops! And that list of what guys think while watching Bravo is spot on! My poor husband…

    It sounds like we had opposite weeks, since mine went by so fast! Love those ice pops! Motts makes a version that are different apple flavors and they're soo good– definitely not the same bargain as the original though. I'm not on the current season of Suits but I was so excited when I saw that it was airing now & they have Season 3 on Amazon Prime- if I paid better attention I could have tried to catch up in time.

    That risotto I need to try asap….! As for Suits, those guys are serious babes. I’ve only seen a few episodes of the show but really like it!

    Those popsicles are the absolute BEST! And I still can't get over those GORGEOUS wedding photos. Hate that there was such a huge fire, but WOW…they're photos are A-MAZing! Have a fabulous weekend!

    I have an unhealthy obsession with risotto and I blame Toscano Boston for doing that to me…their mushroom risotto is TO DIE FOR. Love that restaurant, Spyros and I seriously want to do a Boston trip soon + visit all of our favorites from when he lived there!!! Such an amazing city. Xxxx.

    you know you probably have another career in wedding planning if you wanted it, :). I LOVE THAT PHOTO. thanks for the cool links- I am off to check out the calligraphy one. and what is the premise of the suits show? never heard of it.

    I am definitely going to try that arm workout. 11 minutes is the perfect amount and I am all about being sore. That risotto looks delicious and I'll have to look up that suits show because a man in a suit is just hot!

    Mark is obsessed with risotto and I'm always trying to find healthy versions of it to make 🙂 You know how I feel about red dresses love that one. I love that faux calligraphy but let's be honest I have the worst handwriting…..I mean Mark writes better than I do. Thanks for linking up love! xoxoxo

    I LOVE risotto! It's my go-to in the kitchen when I'm not sure what else to cook for dinner because we always have arborio rice + chicken broth on hand! xx

    The fire wedding pictures had me freaking out but they are so incredible. Who plans their wedding knowing they'll have to have a back-up site also booked because of forest fires? Fools be cray. Push-pops are the best! Wish I was 6 again at the pool all day buying those suckers up for 25 cents each ha. Have a great weekend, pretty!

    I think Suits is my next show to binge watch! Everyone seems to love it. And I'm a big risotto fan but for some reason it intimidates me to try it at home! That recipe looks amazing though so I may need to give it a try!

    June 16, 2014 / 1:12 pm

    Those popsicles bring back a flood of memories! I love those things! I've heard so much recently about Suits but never seen it. I may have to check it out! I've been telling myself I would start the tone it up series but I've got to buckle down and do it. Like today!

    Soo funny about the popcicles! I like to keep a stock of those too for a refreshing summer day! 🙂 That wedding with the wildfire in the background is crazy! Could you imagine how hot it would be?! Haha!

    That risotto needs to get in my mouth!!
    And those wildfire pics – crazy!!
    Also… I don't know about you, but I've been super bummed about missing five on Friday for the summer. If you're interested my friend Karli {september FARM} and I {the farmer's wife} are starting up a link-up "oh hey, friday!" with the exact same outline and would love for you to join us tomorrow or any Friday! Hope to see you there.
