[friday favorites]

I really only came up with two favorites for the week, but they're both things I'd love to include in my daily routine. 

The first: Bolthouse Farms' Protein Plus Coffee. I wake up for work between 5 and 5:30 a.m. every day, and I have breakfast first thing. Of course, by the time I'm at work, really getting into my work, I get hungry / thirsty again. This is usually around 9 a.m. So this coffee drink (I say coffee drink because it's part coffee, part smoothie, part nectar from the Gods) really helps me pull through, giving me energy and actually filling me. 

The second: HGTV's show Property Brothers. I should probably start by saying my mom is obsessed with HGTV. Whenever we're at the house and she's cooking or cleaning she has to have the TV turned on to HGTV - no matter the show. That, plus my family's love of DIY and renovating in general, basically means now, when I have to have the TV on (and CMT / GAC aren't playing music videos anymore), I turn on HGTV. And this week, Property Brothers was on a lot. 

Pretty random favorites for the week, I know. But that's me I guess. Anywho, have a great weekend all!

Another week has come and gone and you know what that means! Friday favorites! This week I made it a point to jot dot down some favorites as the week went by and decided to limit today's post to a top 5. Here they are!

1. Being Mary Jane has become one of my favorite shows. I mean I've always loved Gabrielle Union but there's something nice about a show where the main character is a powerful, single, career-focused woman. I mean, we aren't all going to be housewives. 

2. I have fallen in love with Naked Juice. It's the perfect healthy, on-the-go choice for people (like me) with a busy lifestyle. It's almost a meal replacement because it's so filling and has so many nutrients!

3. The candle obsession continues with my Lemon Mint Leaf 3-wick candle from Bath & Body Works. I got this candle for Christmas and boy, it's the gift that keeps on giving. 

4. Ulta's Pomegranate Lime lotion has been my go-to moisturizer since I got a bottle for free in November. I've since purchased one for myself and one for my mom. It provides just enough moisture and smells fresh and clean.

5. I think I love Urban Expressions. Every time I see a purse by that brand I fall in love, and I just had to have this one. The perfect medium between casual and dressy, I use this when I want a little change. 

Have a beautiful weekend!!!
