FRIDAY FAVORITES HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

What? Are you kidding me? The longest day of the year is finally over, I mean month, I mean, January, lol! You did it friends! But I’d be lying if I said I don’t want snow in February, just give us a couple blasts, lol! 

Not a favorite this week with some tooth pain I had, the dentist was able to fit me in on Wednesday and I was scared to death that there was going to be infection and a root canal and crown needed. I actually was one of those cases that baffled him because he was a little bit unsure what was going on and doesn’t want to do any kind of work until we have a definitive diagnosis, so I have a mouthwash I’m using and we’re going to look at the tooth again in two weeks. I’m hoping for the best. Let’s get to some Friday favorites, friends!


Shopping with the Babes

Shopping at Home Goods with these two, their mama and my mom and then all having lunch together at Panera to celebrate their mommy’s birthday was definitely a favorite!

Massage 

Last year I had so much stress and so many neck problems that a friend of mine suggested the massage therapist where she works. Luckily for me, she also does massage out of her home and will come to yours. I’m now on her books monthly and she has done wonders, this coming from a girl who never used to get massages, lol. I went to her house Tuesday, and I was so relaxed all day!

Obviously After, LOL

Outfits

Free Assembly Spring Cuteness

I showed you a Collage last week with some of the cutest pieces from the Free assembly line at Walmart. Luckily, this week several of the line’s pieces arrived at my house, and I am here to tell you the quality is spectacular! Just look how cute. I think my favorite might be that. Let me know your favorite.

Stella Mae

This girl! Mr. Nine’s girl! And mine. Celebrating three years next week of her gotcha day. She is the best dog that either one of us have had. She is 8 pounds of pure love and devotion! She is truly happiest when she is either outside with us, going for a car ride, getting a pup cup with her “Giga,” hanging with her boyfriend Tater, or lounging on our laps. A true lap dog with so much love! She sleeps curled right up next to me, and we truly do not know what we would do without her. Not kidding when I say we’ve seriously investigating cloning her DNA, lol!


Her Boyfriend Tater



Blast from Last 

My Galentine’s. A set of ladies I also don’t know what I would do without. We try to get together quarterly, and this was one of several visits last year. In April, we did a favorite things party in Chicago and had an absolute blast. Lots of cocktail time too.

FRIDAY FAVORITES...HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

Well, it’s safe to say the week didn’t necessarily start out great when you’re blocked for four days on Instagram for doing nothing but leaving a comment! Obviously, they were in error and when Instagram is part of your work for your blog brand, it sucks. And please my dear friends, if I didn’t return a comment or comment on your post, I am truly sorry! However, on an up note, not being on Insta was alas refreshing and I got to enjoy a 3 1/2 hour brunch on Tuesday with my dear friend Connie! I am not even going to go into why this was such a yucky month because I think the whole week just had a sad cloud over it because of the loss of legend Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter! All nine people on that helicopter were amazing and it was just such a tragedy. All tragedies are sad and matter but because Kobe was such a prominent figure and such an inspiration to so many people, his platform can move forward even in death. And I hope everyone has hugged their loved ones a little tighter.

1. Last Minute Day Date
Day Dates are always a good thing and sometimes even better when they’re last minute. We didn’t really have anything going on this past weekend and Mr. Nine said let’s go to Chicago, but I didn’t think he was serious so I kind of blew him off and then a little while later he hollered at me to go get a late lunch. At the last minute, he changed his mind where we would be going, and we took a little trek an hour and 20 minutes north to one of our favorite breweries. Little did we know, it was their 12th anniversary and they were offering free fries, yes! We also happened to drive right by Trader Joe’s so Mr. Nine indulged me in a quick stop and stock up!


2. The INKEY List Skincare
I talked about this amazing skin care on my Instagram stories last week and I just want to mention it here on the blog because the price point is so dang good! I first heard about the skin care line, The Inkey List, when my blog friends and I were on Windy City Live in December and I immediately ordered some from Sephora. All their single products are under $10 and so far, I’ve tried the Hyaluronic Acid, the Caffeine Eye Cream and the Retinol. I absolutely love all three. Sephora said they can’t keep the caffeine eye cream in stock, it’s that good! And these products are all part of the Clean at Sephora products with only clean ingredients.

4. Blush Pink Moto Jacket
Can you believe this is the first time I wore this beautiful blush color Moto jacket out in public? I remember showing it to you in the Maurice’s dressing room a few months ago and I can’t believe I wasn’t wearing it until now. It goes with my snakeskin booties so well.

SCRIPTURE CARDS 
My dear Shelly from The Queen In Between must’ve known I was in desperate need of something meaningful this week and it was this beautiful scripture cards to the rescue! Aren’t these the cutest thing where you can change your Bible verse each day for motivation and I’ve set them up in my office. Love the cute little gingham on the edge and reminders of God‘s grace and love.

SWEET SUIT
Look at the summer vibes these cute swimsuits give off! And here’s a cute story. My Mr. Nine saw these on Vneyard Vines Instagram page and immediately said there’s Annie right there, she could create this look up on vacation this summer at the beach. I thought that was the sweetest thing and when we found out that this collection drops at Vineyard Vines on February 24, Mr. Nine even told Alexa to remind us, LOL!


Helps me dream of NO MORE DREARINESS. So, here’s to all the sunny and sweet vibes this weekend!
