FRIDAY FAVORITES.....HELLO 2020

Here is my first Friday favorites of 2020. Friday favorites are usually my favorite kind of blog post to do because they are the things that have brought me pure joy. Something else that brings me pure joy is that this is one of my favorite Fridays of the year because this is the night the family goes to Ruth's Chris. It will be the only time the entire year that I have a steak and I savor every moment of it! 
 We will be -1 as our youngest had to go back to school last week but it always makes for such a fun night of kicking off the year in celebration! And unfortunately, things will get super quiet again come Sunday when the nest is empty yet again. I have no doubt I’ll find things to keep busy! Here we go!

1. CookCraftCo Recipe Feature

Remember last month when I Shared with you my exciting cookware win on Windy City Live with the 12-piece cookware set by Candace from cook craft company. Well, since that time the sweet lovely CookCraftCo darlings and I have corresponded, and they asked to feature a recipe of mine on their website. I had so much fun making one of my favorite dishes in their 12 inch dual handle pan and sharing it on their site! Make sure you go check it out, browse their fabulous cookware and notice all the wonderful places where you can buy this amazing kitchen cookware.

2. Caroline Herrera Good Girl Perfume: 
Glorious Gold Edition

This beautiful Perfume Gift kind of goes along with the cookware favorite. Reason being, when we were on Windy City live, they were giving these away, but they ran out. So, my sweet Mr. Nine to the rescue with getting me this beautiful and great smelling perfume! It is a glitter gold and black shoe, looks so cute sitting in my closet and smells amazing! And new top three perfume for sure and this Glorious Gold Edition is still readily available.

Baby Yoda Cocktail 

My sweet friend Laura Horton knows me so well and knows that I have a strong affection for baby Yoda and cute, yummy cocktails! Just look at this fabulous meme she sent me! 

My Gal Pal Val

I don’t know about you, but I love Valerie Bertinelli! Always have and the new chapter in her life with her cooking show has become one of my favorites! I don’t know if you saw her on the Today show this week where she was so open about how this past year and the past few have really had her struggling, especially with her weight and mindset. The inspiration she gave is some of the best I have heard so far for 2020 so I shared it in my Instagram story. Well, that sweetheart actually re-posted it and responded to my encouragement to her. She’s asking her Today show viewers to help her get healthy and make better choices in 2020. Let’s help Valerie and each other this decade, always lifting and raising each other up!

Yoga

I’m good with my cardio but one thing I intend to be better about in 2020 is doing yoga regularly! My mom got me this mat and I got her and I both this DVD that had fabulous reviews. AND it's only $10! I have not done it yet, but my mom said that it is absolutely amazing, and she felt better just after one session! no one word for the year or the decade, just lots of good and strong intentions.
