Things I'm Loving this Friday

I am bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning,(who isn't on Friday?) so I thought I would share a few things that have lifted my spirits this week.

1. It's WEDDING MONTH. This is not a drill. I've been waiting for weeks, months even, to feel like the big day was close. I was sure when the invites went out it would hit me. They went out, and nothing. You know what finally did it? The refreshing cool fall air. You know, the air that allows you to drive with your windows down and go out for lunch without turning into a sweaty mess? The seasons have changed, folks. It's happening. You know what I'm most excited about? Going through life with this guy. That makes me very, very happy.

Don't we look like an ad for Great Lash?

2. I'm a big fan of afternoon snacks - I'm usually ravenous come 2 pm. Coming up with healthy snack ideas is hard. Ok, so it's not rocket science, but when I stumble across something new I like, it's pretty exciting. This little combo has put a little happiness in my afternoons this week. All in moderation - you can go overboard on calories here if you aren't careful. And the dark chocolate? It's full of antioxidants! That's my story and I'm sticking with it. (Note - this story also works well for red wine.)

3. I'm a product junkie. I love trying new things, so when I read about this for the 347th time, I figured it was time I give it a shot. Heck, it's only $4! Love at first scrub. I love the way it makes my skin feel and it smells great to boot. Props to you, St. Ives, and your new look. You make my Monday, Wednesday and Friday showers that much better.

Productive weekend ahead! Also pretty pumped about watching my #1 Tide take on the Florida Gators. At least this time we won't have to watch Tim Tebow cry.
