Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, my friends. It’s been quite the week for me. I’m so grateful for the holiday weekend. I don’t have much planned, but that’s the best part. I’ll get to sleep in, maybe make it over to the pool, and just catch up on Netflix. I’m thinking about starting the series, Narcos. It has a 9.2/10 rating on IMDB, so it’s got to be good. If you’ve watched it, comment below! 

Let’s get into my Friday favorites.

1. VitaCoco

VitaCoco has been a favorite of mine for years now, but I picked up a carton of it during my last grocery trip. I like the pineapple version the best. It’s not too sweet and has 460mg of potassium. Potassium is great for your metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions, and a healthy nervous system. 

2. The Skinny Confidential Book

Lauryn from The Skinny Confidential sent me her lifestyle book this week. It was so good that I finished it in one sitting. Is that bad? I’ll be hosting a giveaway in the next few weeks where a few lucky readers will win a copy. In that post, I’ll also be doing a full review of the book, similar to what I did for Nicole Lapin’s book Rich Bitch.

3. Baking 

I’ll be honest. I’m not the biggest fan of baking. I would much prefer cooking a meal than baking a dessert, which is shocking because I LOVE dessert. Last weekend, I made chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for my friends Lauren and Mike who just had a baby. There’s something special about bringing baked goods for special occasions, so I usually do. I love finding pretty boxes to put the baked goods in!

4. Pool Days

I’m taking advantage of every nice weekend, because I know soon enough it will be cold and snowy. Weekends by the pool is what I’ll miss most about this summer. It’s been so nice to just relax, read a book and dip my toes in the water. I’m hoping to snag new patio furniture on sale at the end of the season, so I can at least have a nice place to sit during the fall. We have Adirondack chairs but they are not comfy at all!
