Friday Favorites

Hi Lovies!

 

Do I have a surprise for YOU! As you know, I love to show off my favorites every Friday when I link-up with Miss Bargain Blonde. Well since I'm off day drinking hanging with my besties in Oklahoma, I thought I would introduce you to one of my favorite blogs and cutest friends.. Emily!

Hello!

 

So, SO, SOOO very happy to be here today! We already have something in common... we LOVE sweet Sami! She's been such a blessing to me - she keeps me entertained and in style! Can't help but love her! I'm so happy she gave me the opportunity to guest post!

 

About me.. {Blogger at The Sweetest Thing!}

 We love traveling in what little time off we get! Of course Arkansas & Ohio are our two favorite places to visit!

 

Now random 411 about myself for your reading pleasure (aka using recent photos taken on my phone to describe myself!)...

 

 

It feels incredibly cliche to say this but I really do love fashion. Maybe not fashion so much, rather clothing. May I add that I am allowed to say this because it is my JOB!

 

 My favorite scent on this planet... besides puppy breath! I spent last New Years Eve in Paris! Talk about fabulous... the friend we visted there wore this perfume ahem, parfum, so it reminds me of all the fun we had! Precious, precious memories in the City of Lights!

 

Now that I'm all married up... I kind of go overboard with the monogram stuff. Our pillows on our bed and couch are monogrammed. Our lampshades. Soap bottles. Phone case. Jewelry. Etc. I love my new initials so I feel like I should just plaster them everywhere... oops.

 

Now, I also love DIY stuff but I'm terrible actually doing it MYself. Oops. Read my blog and you'll find out about good deals on things that aren't so DIYesque. {GroopDealz did a vinyl monogram deal a few weeks ago for a $1... of course I ordered 10 - and stuck them on random things around our home!}

 

 Let's be honest... I hate dieting, health, exercise, etc. I won't even lie to you.

 

However, this time last year I set an alarm on my phone to go off each day at noon... the alarm says "Lose 10 pounds." Really encouraging, right?

 

Well, I am good at following instructions so I did as my phone instructed me. I lost 10 pounds. It wasn't easy. And it's not something I talk about too often... especially publicly. It took about 7 months because I have a strange addiction to Mexican food and sweet tea. But it happened and now I've taught myself how to keep it off... at least I think I have.

 

I have a few favorite things that I rely on to keep that weight off and this Skinny Coffee is one of my new favorites. {Courtesy of my brilliant Mother!}

Have you tried it?

 

 

 

Are you tired of Baubles? I keep hearing people complain and I'm a little confused... how can lime green Bubbles not be adorable, or any color for that matter!

 

You'd think I would be sick of them. I have 5 necklaces and I started my collection last May. But no siree... I am not tired of them. I can't help it - I think they are cute as can be. Let's all face it - J. Crew started the trend and J. Crew is a pretty dang classic brand so I think I'll keep wearing them...

 

 

Read my blog and learn about how I am slightly obsessed with cold weather & cold weather fashions. Just use this link and read my Boot Sock 101.

 

 

I love makeup! I often try products and then do reviews on my blog! Use this link and read about my favorite Make Up Best Buys!

 

 

Random Pinterest projects are my favorite past time. With exception of this little trick... my brushes now REEK of vinegar. Imagine that! {they are however, VERY clean!}

 

 

Well, that's it for now! Thanks so much for reading and come visit my blog, The Sweetest Thing!
