Friday Favorites Round Up


Happy Friday friends!! We made it! This was quite the week – lots accomplished, but not nearly enough sleep…I plan on catching up with that this weekend!! Here are some of my favorites from the week and linking up with Amanda and April for some fun! 



Favorite Recipe




It’s been a while since I’ve made zoodles and what better way to get back on that train than with this Creamy Sun Dried Tomato + Parmesan with Chicken Zoodles recipe



Favorite Purchase




Yesterday I highlighted a few things on my wishlist and wouldn’t you know Ann Taylor decided to have 50% off everything in store and online until Sunday night (code: FALL50) so I scooped up the blouse and this skirt in a solid burgundy – sensing a color pattern here! 





Favorite Book


I mentioned a few weeks ago that I downloaded Leave Your Mark and I flew through that book in between commuting and my trip this past weekend – did I love it, No…but I thought there were a few chapters with valuable information that can be taken into whatever career you’re in. After dozens of people talked about The List I scooped up a kindle version for myself. I’m excited to dive into a book that is non-fiction and not dark like Girl on the Train or Gone Girl! 



Favorite Blogging Post


I’m ashamed to admit I have never given much thought to my blog footer at all – after reading this post I’ve got some redesigning to do! 



Favorite Links


//All you need is 15 minutes to do this spot cleaning


//New emojis have been added to the iPhone library and now we can share those tacos, cheese and of course champs


//If you work in a cubicle or even have your own office here are some fun ways to dress up your space






Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    I felt the same about Leave your Mark- I liked it, but it didn’t blow me away. Some chapters were very useful though! Adding The List to my list 😉

    I'm loving all of the burgundy this season! It's such a pretty color for fall, plus it helps that it's my school colors! I loved that there are new emojis because I don't know what I was doing without the taco and eye rolling emoji in my life.

    That blouse looks great! These days I am a bit better endowed than usual (thanks to breastfeeding) and that blouse looks like it is cute but still modest. I have to try that zoodles recipe. I have been waiting to get into making zoodles and I just can't make myself do it raw. That looks like a delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing that blogging tip, I always look forward to your posts! I will have to check out that link now!

    Oh that zoodle recipe looks amazing! I love sun dried tomatoes! I might have updated my phone just for the middle finger and taco emojis. No shame. I love all the ways you can dress up your cube! Especially spray painting rocks and berry baskets. Brilliant! My cube is so boring and blah! All I have is a pink tin with hearts on it to hold my pens and a dog calendar. LOL!
