FRIDAY FAVORITES LOTS OF LOVE

Sweet friends may this Friday bring sickness behind me! I have been down and out this week; even blew my nose so much that I cracked it and it bleed, lol. And I had to postpone a trip to see a dear friend. But I still have some favorites...always Lots of Love even when I feel bad.

1. Stella's Gotcha Day

Oh, my dear, sweet Stella! I shared her gotcha picture on Instagram Sunday, a year since the day we brought that sweet bundle of fur home!!

and this was my caption:

A YEAR of Loving you STELLA MAE! Happy GOTCHA DAY!

You light up our lives, your precious, loving, smart and playful personality has us wrapped around your little paw, lol! You love us with every ounce of sweetness in your 8-pound body but still find ways to love us deeper every day!

We found you at exactly the right time! The sun shined a little brighter beginning February 5th, 2022. Our little Girl and an angel on Earth!

If you have a dog, you know the JOY they bring! You know the depths of loss when you lose them and the depths of love when they join your home and become one of you!

And yes, she has her own walk-in closet, lol!

2. cabi X-Factor Dress

In THIS POST on Wednesday, I showed you some favorites from the new cabi spring collection. Today is the X-Factor Dress. Wouldn’t it be the perfect dress for Valentine’s Day. You can do the classy, black, and white or add in some pops of color all spring and summer long. Perfect to dress up or down! It’s such a great, comfy fit and such a great wait. There’s even an X design on the back.

Oh, and definitely add in the collar necklace!

What cabi has to say about it: “Feeling like your spring wardrobe is missing that “it” factor? Well, look no further, because the X-Factor Dress will fulfill all your wishes. This black-and-white floral wrap dress has a kimono feel with an A-line skirt and a black fabric belt for the finishing touch. Now, you’ll have that “Je ne Sais quoi.”

Handbag is one of my Favs from Teddy Blake
Use Code TBANDREAN30 for $30 0ff a bag!

3. Spring Finds

TRENCH COATS

I don’t own a trench coat that I’m completely in love with, but that will probably change when I get one of THESE!! The checks is a pale blue along with the other check being a gorgeous green, and I love it in person! Under $50 from the Free Assembly line at Walmart and looks and feels like $150 coat with the detailing. Get one HERE! So CUTE!!

SANDALS

Lots of winter left, and I truly wish that sandals did not start appearing in stores so early but to get the cute ones you’ve got a jump on it and these sandal finds had me dumbfounded. I literally had to do a second look in Target because there are 2 styles that look exactly like Dolce Vita.

4. Oral B Electric Toothbrush

Of course, Mr. Nine and I have matching toothbrushes, lol! I was on the fence about getting a rechargeable toothbrush, but when he got me the pink one for Christmas, I was sold after he knew how much I loved it, I got him a black one. They are under $50 in my charge lasts up to three weeks, then I just recharge again overnight. You will LOVE the Oral-B Pro Crossaction 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush! And so will your teeth!

cabi clothing Spring 23’ Collection

Spring is going to be so much brighter this year! cabi clothing is making sure of that with their Spring 23’ collection! Glorious pieces and accessories from this season’s line will have you swooning over the colorful and playful designs, prints and fabrics.

My love of cabi isn’t just for the clothing and accessories but for the mission and colleges surrounding the brand.

The theme of the Spring 23’ line is “Play!” Think about that. Didn’t most of us as little girls want to play dress up, have fun and exude joy! That’s exactly what the cabi Spring 23 collection does.

Many of you read My Post recapping cabi fashion week in San Diego.

One of the things I took away from my time there was a full heart for the cabi Stylists. All these stylists exude compassion, drive, and of course the BEST fashion sense. They know firsthand how cabi makes women feel. They want all women to feel that confidence in their style! They serve women to help them not only curate a beautiful wardrobe of cabi pieces but want them to succeed in life! And how wonderful to do it all in the comfort of your own home with friends and family. That’s a great gig! If you’d love to have a sweet gig to uplift women with beautiful stylings and have a great time doing it, check out becoming a stylist HERE!

FEBRUARY AMAZON FINDS

Man, January Flew! But the short month of LOVE is here, and I have some great Amazon purchases to share! I honestly don’t think in the past two years, there has been one week gone by that I haven’t received a package from Amazon. That makes it very easy to join these wonderful link-ups with my dear friend, Tanya and her monthly Amazon link-up! Everyone lives em’! Let’s get to it!

IT Eye Cream // Gold Chain Set // Eyelashes // Lash Glue Liner // Joggers // Balloons // Tin of Tea // Swell Water Bottle

IT Cosmetics Eye Cream ~ my friend Annie had some of this EYE CREAM when we stayed together in San Diego and she said she loved it. I must say I am now in love as the cream is nice and thick and a tiny bit goes a long way and really keeps my eyes moisturized.

Chunky Necklace and Bracelet Set ~ the chunky chain length jewelry trend is not going away anytime soon. This Bracelet and Necklace Set is so gorgeous and what a price!

Eyelashes and Glue ~ as you may know I used to use the magnetic lashes that I did also purchase from Amazon but my whole life changed when I found the Lash Glue Liner and Thin Band Eyelashes called MLBB (my lash but better) in "so real." I cannot even feel these on, and I can get them on in 30 seconds. Tutorial on Instagram to come soon.

Joggers ~ this color is a gem! So soft and from Amazon’s own essentials line! Love These Joggers to pieces!

Balloons ~ the season of hearts means some pretty Mylar Heart Balloons. I’ll use these for a heart wall and do some photos in front. This color mix is really pretty!

Harney & Sons Tea ~ I have been a fan of This TEA for several years, but it was solidified last April when my mom and I went to a teahouse for my birthday, and this is what they served. I normally add Stevia and oat milk to my tea, but this is so flavorful, that it doesn’t need a thing! I LOVE IT!

Swell ~ this Water Bottle is a must for travel. I get thru security then go fill up at one of the airports filtered water stations. I got my gal pals one on a trip to Nashville a few years ago but recently couldn’t find mine. So happy they still make this pretty pink topaz so I could replace it.

AND This Outfit Inspo

Quarter Zip Outfit ~ I ordered this outfit and love! Here is the Quarter Zip with the above joggers and what a great athleisure, running around outfit!
