Things I’m Loving Friday VIII

November 8, 2013 by Julie 75 Comments

It’s Friday!!! Do the Friday dance!

Sleeping Vizsla

No? No?

Okay, fine. If you’re moving a little slowly this morning, let’s spice things up and talk about things we all adore! By now you know how this whole thing works!

Below you will find a list of things I’m loving lately and I’d love to hear all about what is making you happy these days in the comments section.

Let’s get rollin’!

Things I’m Loving Lately

  • Pet Rescue Instagram or Facebook Pages

Vizsla Rescue

I love it when social media is used as a tool for good! If you are looking to rescue a pet, check out Facebook or Instagram to stay up-to-date with rescue organizations near you! If you are a vizsla lover, check out Vizsla_Rescue on Instagram. The feed is constantly updated with sweet vizslas like Beau from Jonestown, Texas (pictured above) who need homes all over the United States.

  • Test Your Shark Knowledge Quiz

If you love Shark Week as much as we do in our house, you might enjoy this shark quiz Ryan and I found on CNN. The fact about tiger shark babies = FREAKY!

  • My Favorite Old Navy Running Pullover

Old Navy Pullover

Thank you so much to the fabulous Shawna for letting me know that my favorite Old Navy running pullover is available again! I bought it in gray last January and wore it waaay too much, so I jumped at the chance to get it in black when Shawna told me it was for sale on their website again. (I used the code ONSAVENOW to save 15 percent, too! Gotta love that!) I completely agree with the reviews from other buyers who said it is slimming (it’s tighter in the chest, but skims over the tummy) and it’s perfect for layering on top of a tank or t-shirt in the colder months.

  • Cinnamon Pecan Bark

Oh Publix, you’ve done it again! I found this cinnamon pecan bark in the bakery section of our local Publix earlier this week and could not keep my fingers out of the bag.

  • Easy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Easy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

For the second week in a row, these sandwiches have popped up on our dinner menu. They’re ridiculously easy to make and so, so good!

  • Can You Guess the Famous Friends Lines? Quiz

FRIENDS Cast

This is a fun one for my fellow Friends fanatics out there! I got 8/10 and am not sure whether I should feel proud or ashamed.

  • Navitas Naturals Cacao Lip Balm

Navitas Natural Lip Balm

Lips like butter! I love this stuff and keep it in the nightstand beside my bed so I remember to layer it on before I go to sleep. It makes my lips feel super soft and it’s definitely a new favorite!

  • Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Harder Hairspray

Big Sexy Hairspray

Based on a recommendation from my friend Brittany, I purchased this hairspray a couple of months ago and it’s now my go-to hairspray. I use it whenever I curl my hair and, assuming the humidity in Florida isn’t horrific, it really does help keep my curls or loose waves in tact.

  • This Photo from a Maternity Photo Shoot

I found this gem on Pinterest and could not stop laughing… mainly because I know it’s something Ryan and I would totally do. We’re not expecting a baby any time soon, but I can assure you that if we ever did the whole maternity photo shoot thing at our house, Sadie would wiggle her way into 99 percent of the photos.

    That maternity shoot photo is too funny! I love photos that really incorporate the dog as part of the family. Probably because I’m a crazy dog lady myself!

    Old Navy has some great active wear! I was just there the other day and picked up some good stuff. That pecan bark looks amazing!

    Since the colder weather hit, I’m loving that I have an excuse to wear my scarves! 🙂

    That Old Navy top is super cute! I love gray. I know it’s not an exciting color, but I wear gray and white all the time! After my big Trader Joe’s shopping trip last night I’m loving all things TJs. Have a good weekend!

    I love that you’re doing the Friday things you love! Where do you find the long tank tops that I’ve seen you wearing in other posts? Now that it’s getting cooler I’m wearing leggings to workout and would like to find some longer tops to cover my behind. I really love your posts and find them so inspirational. I just signed up for my first half marathon last night!

    I took that Friend’s quote quiz a few days ago. There is also a How I Met Your Mother one too. I did way better on the Friend’s quiz– I think I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times. That maternity shoot is hilarious!

    I wish I liked that hairspray, I have a huge can of it but I find it makes my hair super dry and built up I absolutely love love love aveda’s air control hair spray. It’s amazing.

    I’m loving the snow Minnesota got a few days ago. I’m sure the fact that it’s arrived sooner means I’ll be sick of it sooner, but right now I think it’s beautiful.

    Thing I’m loving right now- holiday decorations are EVERYWHERE in stores. I wish I was super rich and could buy everything.

    Like Holly, I am also loving the snow in Minnesota, but I can’t guarantee that I will like it come April of next year! Snow in the fall gets me super excited for the holiday season. (Can I start playing Christmas music yet?)

    I have to check out Old Navy sometime soon for there workout gear! I hope they have some good stuff here in Canada too.
    I just wanted to say thank you for blogging about the Nike Training App. I have had it on my phone for so long but had never used it until you reviewed it. I tried it this morning and it really kicked this girls butt. It might be part of my Friday Fav’s!

    ON has really stepped up on their Active Wear! Comfy stuff, but great quality, too! Thanks for the tip on the pullover. I adore their Compression Capris and these tanks http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53934&vid=1&pid=387760212 …. hands down some of my favorite tops out there. I struggle with tight tanks creeeeeeeeping up when I am doing a lot of up and down movements (burpees, squat jumps, etc) … these are great because they have a drawstring to keep the shirt in place and baggy without being “in the way”. (And only $10 right now — WOO HOO!)
