Friday Favorites

Wahoo it’s Friday!  This was probably the first week in about a month that I had work all 5 days.  Since I had a lot of vacation days I had to use before March 31st, I took off many of the Mondays or Fridays in March.  Although this week was pretty long, I’m glad that I was able to get some sleep these past two nights.  Bryan has had this nasty cold and I’m glad that he picked up medication so that he can finally get some sleep.  Monday and Tuesday were a bit rough.

Anyway… here are my Friday Favorites.

I love making homemade spaghetti sauce.  It tastes SO much better than the pre-seasoned stuff that comes in the glass jars.  For my sauce I use Nature’s Promise Organic Crushed Tomatoes.  (I’m not being endorsed by the brand, nor did they send me anything for free. I genuinely love this stuff).  For my spices I use crushed red pepper, garlic salt, black pepper and basil.  The mix of the sweetness of the basil and the spiciness of the crushed red pepper is the BEST!

A recent post on MindBodyGreen this week was awesome! 5 Simple Beauty Products You Can Make from Coconut Oil.  You already know how much I love my coconut – I use the oil as a makeup remover and my cleanser I use has coconut milk as the main ingredient.  This post was awesome because it showed other ways to use it – even as a shaving ‘cream’.  Can’t wait to try that!

I realized this week that I didn’t have my nails painted at all!  So on Wednesday, I grabbed my Essie top coat and just used that to add a bit of shine to my nails.  This has always been a favorite, but I thought I would mention it this week.  It literally dries in minutes!  If you ever only have a small amount of time to do your nails, use this baby!

My new to-do list notebook I picked up at Barnes and Noble on Wednesday.  I finally ran out of paper in my old one and knew I wanted something that was sleek enough to bring around to meetings, but also fun.  I like how each section has a different colored line on the side.  This one only cost about $7 and is the perfect size for my daily to-do lists!
