Yay for Friday: Favorites

It is FINALLY Friday!  It has been a long, long week.  I have gotten a lot done in the house but still have a lot to go!

1- Pistachios.  I have been obsessed with them.  I wish they were not so expensive but I do absolutely love them.  I ordered some off Amazon and am waiting for them to come in.  If anyone knows where to get them cheaper, let me know!

2- MyPix2.com.  Canvases.  I love their canvases.  I have purchased canvases from multiple websites and have found none I like as much as these ones.  They are the thickest at 1.5″ and they run amazing sales as well as have groupons.  I may have purchased 4 or 5 wedding photos for the house from here.

3- Wayfair.com.  Have you used them?  I have purchased quite a few new things for the house off here.  The items arrive FAST which is awesome.  Have not purchased any major furniture pieces, but will probably do so soon.

4- Bare Minerals Make up.  I love it.  I forget about a pallet I have and then I find it and then I switch it up.  I love their foundation too.  And their blush.  Yeah, I  just love them all around.

5- Good & Plenty.  I know some people do not like licorice candy, but I think it is delicious.  I used to get the Good & Fruity when I was at camp, but I have not seen those around.

p.s. none of these are affiliate links.  I just like these things.

Weekend Recap

July 4th selfie

 

For the 4th we always go to a random spot in the middle of nowhere that has awesome fireworks.  Lots of people come out, bring lots of food etc. We actually didn’t stay for the fireworks as we had to get up really early the next day.

 

July 4th dessert

 

I made my favorite Red, White & Blue Salad with help from Josiah.  I was not feeling well and he helped me out and made the middle layer (my favorite!).  My mom always made this on Memorial Day & Fourth of July.

 

josiah wakeboarding

 

On Sunday we went out to Lake Austin and went wake boarding.  Josiah has done a lot of wake boarding and so he was doing jumps etc.  I have only tried one other time and couldn’t get up.  After I ate it twice I was done.

 But I gave myself a pep talk and told myself I was going to get up.  I listened to the suggestions and I got up!  On my first try!  I then got up two more times after I had fallen and I never had any fails trying to get up.  I was pretty excited :)

boat selfie

 

And a boat selfie.  It was a beautiful day.  Not too hot and really nice to be on the lake.  We don’t get too many of those days in South Texas!
