Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!

It has been a good week--but I am ready for the weekend!  Pizza and BYU football tonight!  Yeah!

So here are a few of my favorites lately...

This body butter from Bath and Body Works is the BEST!

It is made with coconut oil and shea butter.  It is totally not greasy and so moisturizing.  I love that my skin doesn't feel wet after I put it on--it absorbs so quickly. I am not usually a big fan of sweet vanilla scents but this one is more musky and subtle.  I am hooked and right now they are on sale!  Buy 3 get 3 Free!  You can also use this coupon code to get 20% off your order F158129 until November 3.  I know because I just stocked up!  They make a perfect gift!

Have you seen this movie?!  It is SO good!  Brad and I saw it in a full theatre on a Friday night.  We were surprised when people started saying 'Amen" or "That's Right" and clapping here and there!  HA!  Only in the South!  This movie was so inspiring to me.  I am taking my boys to see it.  What a blessing prayer is!

I am loving this new scent from Scentsy!  Perfect for fall!  This makes my house smell so good!

I love this idea to 'Ponderize' (80% memorize and 20% memorize) from this talk here.  As a family we are going to pick a scripture every week.  The one I have chosen to start off with is

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Please share your favorites with me!  I always love to get recommendations of good stuff:)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!  Today I wanted to share a few of my favorite things lately: (It is so funny but as I type that I can hear Julia Andrews singing that line in the Sound of Music--lol  I loved that movie as a kid)

First up:

I love pretty nails, but never seem to find the time to paint them until I was introduced to this awesome polish, thanks to my sweet Mother in Law ( who always has pretty nails)..

It dries in 60 seconds and if you put a top coat on--it will last for days:)  Not to mention it is SO much cheaper than my usual favorite OPI.  I think it is just as good, seriously!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Polish

I have been wearing Danskos for years, but I just got these new XP (with memory foam) ones for Christmas--and they are HEAVENLY!

If you are ever in the hospital (although I really hope you have no reason to be there) you will see most nurses and Doctors wearing these shoes. There is a reason--those people are on their feet all day and can vouch for the comfort of these babies. They have this rocking insole that literally saves your back and feet after a long day.  Danskos are awesome!  They are expensive, but save up because this is money well spent--and they last forever!  I have the "black pull up" but I do think these patent leather ones are cute! Oh and I will add--do some research or get measured at a store that sells them.  The fit is important--and it is a bit unusual.

I am really loving this cute free prirntable.  It is a fun and sweet way to give my honey a list of home repairs and tasks that really need to be done:)

With Superbowl coming up this weekend, I thought I would share a couple favorites that I will be serving from The Sisters Cafe (my recipe site)

First up...Avocado Salsa.

Seriously good stuff and with the great price on avocados lately this is a perfect offering!

Have you tried Pretzel Rolls yet?
They sell them at Costco, but they are not hard to make and you will save yourself some money ( for your  Danskos ha ha:)  I will be serving mine with BBQ pork.  YUM!
