Friday Favorites [8.5.22]

 

It's Friday again and I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for some more Friday Favorites!
Remember how last week in my book review I said that I read The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy in about three days? I followed it up by watching the series on Amazon Prime and it is definitely a favorite. The show is so sweet and seven episodes was not nearly enough for me! I'm really hoping for a second season and it can't come soon enough!
This Nashville-Style Hot salad is DELICIOUS! It's the Target brand good & gather and it's my absolute favorite. It has cornbread croutons and dill flavored dried cucumbers...I'm getting hungry just describing it. Plus it has the tastiest spicy ranch dressing that really makes the salad. When I buy these, I always pick up two because I love them that much.
My Cricut has been a lifesaver over the last couple of weeks. Last week I had Covid and was going stir crazy being stuck in my house. Enter my Cricut. I made SO. MANY. stickers and I'm not ashamed. I've used my Cricut for a lot of things from travel agency items to things for school, but it really proved its worth last week.
Speaking of things that got me through Covid, I watched a TON of Disney+. I've made it my goal to watch all of the Marvel movies in order so I was able to check several of those off my list. It wasn't just superhero movies that I binged, I watched a ton of princess movies, too.
I know Words with Friends has been around for more than a decade -- and I've been playing it pretty much since the beginning -- but I still look forward to playing it every day. I only play with my cousin, uncle and Stephen but we have some pretty competitive streaks going on. Maybe it's the journalist in me, but I LOVE word games.

That's it for this week's round-up of favorites. I'll see you back here next week! Have a great weekend!

  1. I'm really into these salad mixes! Have you tried Taylor Farms Watermelon Crunch? Dill pickle? I add some grilled chicken and these are great. Thanks for the rec and I will look at Target!

    1. Thanks for the suggestion! I've never tried the watermelon crunch one, but it sounds right up my alley, I'll be on the lookout for it! I'm not a fan of pickles so I was worried about how dill pickle cucumbers would be, but they're surprisingly good. I haven't thought of adding grilled chicken! :)

  2. I really enjoyed The Summer... Pretty too and ended up watching season 1 of the Lake on Prime when it was over since it recommended it to me.

  3. I didn't realize Words with Friends was still around! I remember when that was The Thing! I have two English degrees, but I am terrible at word games, so I abandoned Words with Friends long ago, haha!

July Book Review

I thought June was a good month for books, but somehow July was even better! This month saw seven books including a memoir, a YA series, some historical fiction, a beach read and suspense novel. Grab a glass of iced tea and open up your Goodreads account so you can add some of these books to your TBR list! My first read of the month was Over the Top  by Jonathan Van Ness from Queer Eye.  I was at the library looking for a different book when I saw this one and picked it up on a whim. I love the show and listened to Tan France's audiobook last year so I was excited to learn more about JVN and get some inside scoop on the show. That being said, I wasn't that impressed with the book. It mostly talks about his wild days and I do appreciate his vulnerability speaking out about mental health issues and how left untreated, it wasn't healthy -- or safe. I think I just went into the book with different expectations but that being said, I'm glad I read it. Next up was Not a Happ

Friday Favorites [7.29.22]

Happy Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some of my favorites that have helped me get through summer so far! When e-readers came out, I fought and fought against one. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love reading and my dad insisted on getting me one for every holiday but I kept saying no. It wasn't until I traveled abroad and had limited space in my luggage that I gave in and tried one. I haven't looked back once! Ten years later and I got a new Kindle....the Paperwhite . The balcony at my apartment is finally finished and decorated so I've been sitting out on it more and knew I had a couple of beach trips planned and reading on the Kindle Fire is difficult with the glare from the sun. The Paperwhite makes reading outside so easy and the battery lasts forever! I didn't have to charge it once when I was in Mexico! I discovered this sunscreen last year and am OBSESSED! I've always known Trader Joe's was great for food but who knew
