Friday Favorites 02.04.22 – Loving Today
Winter has arrived in Texas! We were actually suppose to be on a roadtrip to Panama City Beach this weekend to watch some baseball, but with the drop in temps and possible icy weather we decided it was best to stay put. Leaving a new driver made me a little nervous and making sure Keith was available to help with his dads cows took precedence.
This weeks Friday favorites are rather random but definitely things I’m loving today!
My friend Lindsay (Dash of Pretty Blog) recommended this cuticle oil and I’m loving it. I’m not sure there is anything special about it other than the bottle just looked prettier on my nightstand and it is made to sit at an angle so it’s easy to use. I’ve used it so much because it is sitting right there when I get into bed each night! Especially in winter my hands get so dry and I tend to bite my cuticles so this has really helped.
If you have never listened to the Everything Happens podcast with Kate Bowler, you are missing out. She talks alot with people who have gone through dark times and explores what they learned from it. I definitely think it’s a podcast where you can find some peace and comfort that you are not alone when walking through darkness. This week she interviewed Katie Couric and I definitely found some nuggets that I see in myself and how I have handled my moms diagnosis.
We had an winter weather day yesterday and my gym was closed for my typical workout. I have really been trying to workout at least 20 minutes each day for February and didn’t want to miss so I took to Pinterest to find a workout I could do at home. I’ve been working on building a tiny home gym with kettle bells, dumbells and also grabbed these bands before Christmas. While I grabbed them with the thought I would use them more for some stretching, when I found this workout I knew it was an option. She offers lots of modifications to make the workout easier or tougher, whichever you need. I was shocked at how high my heart rate reached with these easy moves. I enjoyed her and will try more of her workouts in the future.
I’m all cozy in this sweatshirt my sweet daughter-in-law gifted me for Christmas! If you don’t already know, my grandma name is Honey. :). Haisley can say it now and it’s the cutest EVER! She grabbed it from Pink Lily and they have so many cute options! Yesterday I wore it with my fave leggings and my new Ugg boots which are on sale 50% right now! Even with no socks my feet were toasty and warm. I have missed having a pair and I’m loving the shorter option.
Of course who doesn’t want to warm up on the inside when it’s so cold on the outside? This white chicken chili was in my weekly Fed + Fit newsletter and I happen to have everything I need to toss it into the instant pot!
Wherever you are this weekend, I hope you are staying warm! Hoping to finish a book and tackle a few things around the house on our last free weekend before contest season for dance and baseball really kick off!
