Friday Favorites



Happy Friday! I'm linking up with ErikaNarci, and Andrea (some of my favorite bloggers) to share some of my favorites this week!

This week I've been doing a lot of this...

Studying for my Series 7 licensing exam for my new job. It's a required license for my job and it is a lot of material. Studying is definitely not my favorite.




#1

My roommate mentioned that 7th Heaven was on Hulu and I freaked out! Growing up 7th Heaven was my favorite show ever and I've been wanting to re-watch it. So the past week I've been watching several episodes after work. It's still one of my favorite shows! Coffee and 7th Heaven are my favorites.

I'm so lucky that my work has a full gym in the building for us to use! So one of my coworkers and me go every morning at 6:30 for a workout class. I love starting my day with a workout! It's also forced me out of my comfort zone to try new classes. Usually, I like cardio, weight lifting, bootcamp type of classes but I've been trying Yoga and Pilates. It definitely is hard but it's good to cross train!


Here's me before my Pilates class started bright and early at 6:30 am. Hopefully, I will continue to improve. Trying new workouts is definitely a favorite!

One of my friends (thanks Lo!) shared the new trailer for Dark Places on my wall yesterday. I am so excited for this movie and the trailer just made it even better! I read the book not too long ago and it's a good one. I would definitely recommend it.



Gillian Flynn is a fantastic author. If you haven't read any of her books you need to check them out!

I'm obsessed with eyelash curlers. It helps you look more awake and helps make your eyelashes look longer. I've had the same one since I started wearing mascara so about 10 years! My eyelash curler finally hit a wall where it was kind of gross and I decided I needed a new one.

I went to my favorite place ever, Nordstrom's website and looked for 2 things 1) An eyelash curler that is inexpensive and 2) One that has high reviews. I found both and got this guy...

Laura Mercier Eyelash Curler
It's very different than my old one but once I got used to it I really like it! It really curls my lashes with only a few pumps. I would definitely recommend it! It's a new beauty favorite.

Work has been a roller coaster of corporate training and preparing for my licensing exams. I feel like I dream about bonds and stocks ha! But one great thing about my job is going through everything with great coworkers! We really support each other and they quickly have become my friends.

Last Thursday, we went to this event called Alive after 5 in Uptown Charlotte as a group and had such a great time!


So blessed! Have a great weekend and see everyone back here Monday!

  4. So many things:

    Good luck studying! I've been out of school for so long I can't imagine going back to studying and tests hah! You will knock it out of the park!

    Those coasters are amazing! So pretty. So happy you posted a DIY version.

    I ran my first marathon last December and did yoga because it was good to stretch my muscles but then I really started liking it on its own and go every weekend now at free classes at Lululemon which I love! That is so inspiring that you do workouts in the morning! I wish I could roll out of bed. I should try that :) But in the mean time you go girl! Haha

    Lastly, how nice that you have coworkers that are so supportive and fun to hang out with!

    Happy Friday!!! Yay

  6. Oh the Series 7...I dealt with that beast a couple of years ago! Studying for it was not fun but you will be so glad to have it! Good luck with your exam :) Oh, I highly recommend googling the options study chart. It's a one page help sheet I memorized that really helped me! Also, how cool that your office has a gym?! So jealous!

  8. OMG I love those coasters. And now I am more motivated to read Dark Places because I'm a HUGE fan of books that become movies (even though the books are always better) and I've been afraid to start reading that one ha!
