Friday Goodness

Thank you so much for your support with my mini-blog break.  I'm going to hit you with my five Friday favorites today because I missed being here and feel so much more rejuvenated.  I hope y'all know by now that I don't want this blog to ever make my life seem like it is perfect, because it is so far from it.  Recently, I had been in a funk and honestly, I did not even realize it.  I'm extra thankful for dear friends, amazing parents, and a wonderful husband who helped point it out and supported me through a rough couple of days.

When I was contacted by Firmoo to review a pair of glasses for their spring line, I was over the moon.  I really loved the first pair I received from them, so to get another pair was so exciting!  I love the two tone look of tortoise and cream.  And I am obsessed with the durability of the glasses.  I have a habit of falling asleep with my glasses on and screwing up the alignment.  But not with my Firmoo.  These glasses didn't even have to be adjusted for me.  Have you tried Firmoo yet?

One of my oldest friends came in to town with her new husband this week.  I got to meet them at Boylan Bridge Brewpub for a drink and a gorgeous view of Raleigh.  It was so good to see her and to meet her sweet husband.  They both fell in love with the city, and I would love for them to move here (hint, hint Ash)!

This is where I'm at.

I love my new watch from Tokyo Bay (c/o Stylish Living) and these two Meghan Browne Style bracelets.

I am so addicted to peonies and candles because they are instant mood boosters for me!  And Thursday night, I had a glass of rose in my favorite wine glass that says "I am fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara, I could save the world."

What are you loving this Friday?

Hope you have a great weekend!  Be sure to stop by on Monday for a weekend recap and something pretty exciting!

Linking up with the honeymoonin' Amanda!

  1. Glad the break is making you feel better, all support over here, lady! That quote is perfection! A negative attitude never feels good for you, or those that have to deal with you on a daily basis. Optimism is key :)!

    Have a fabulous weekend, pretty!

  5. So glad you are feeling better! I truly respect you for how much you work and pour yourself into what you do. You are superwoman! Btw your peonie pics are killing me… they are my absolute fav. The only place I can find them in Greenville is Fresh Market and they are $15 for like 4 bulbs. Pretty sure my husband miiiiiight kill me for that. I am dreaming of the day when I have peonie bushes in the backyard of my dream home [dream on sister].

  8. Ha, that excuse. I am not a normally late person--but for some reason whenever we have to meet my MIL somewhere, we are LATE. And we hear about it. Over and over. I'm thinking of just texting that to her in the future. She can't argue with it. Lol. Glad to have you back friend!

  12. Isn't it great to have those people in your life who love you even when you're in a funk? Good for you for taking a week off from blogland. I think the end of the school year puts us all in a funk. The end is right around the corner yet so far away. Those peonies are gorgeous and I think flowers just add an instant element of "fun" to the room. xoxo
