Friday Faves from Nashville

 Been making a lot of trips to Nashville lately.  Three trips in June, but I think I finally have Hudson in good shape to start his life and career here. And, its a good thing, because today is the day it all starts!


1) You Don’t Know Me This limited series on Netflix was really good! It is set in England, but their accents are different from a lot of English accents. If you are a Peloton rider, think Hannah Frankson over Ben Aldis. I loved it when they would say “innit” for “isn’t it”. Anyway, the show itself was quite entertaining. Twists and turns, but I sort of, not completely, figured out the ending.

2) Pureology Instant Levitation Mist This was a sneaky little find on the Pureology website for me. I don’t like mousse for volume, but volume is hard to come by with my hair. This stuff does the trick! You spray it on while your hair is wet (at the roots) and it doesn’t dry stiff or crunchy.  I am loving it!

3) Travel Backpack I am always on the hunt for the perfect backpack for traveling. I have spent major money ($150+) only to feel it is not quite there. I may have just found “it”! I ordered this on Amazon on a whim after my last backpack broke on my last trip and it came in literally minutes before I was heading to the airport. I threw everything I normally keep in my backpack in it and hit the road.  While I look forward to exploring all the secret pockets when I get home, I am loving this so far!  And guess what…it was only like $36. My mom would never travel with backpacks because she said they weren’t real fashion forward, but I always question if hobbling through the airport with an over sized shoulder bag was a good look??

4) Threshold Coconut & Honey Candle I don’t use candles that often anymore as a lot of them sting my eyes. Hudson picked this one out from Target, and I decided to burn it while setting up his apartment. It smells so good and NO stinging of the eyes! I went online immediately and ordered some more for him and some for me at home!

While I’m sad to leave my baby boy behind, tomorrow is his first 24-hour on call, I’m ready to get back home as well. I just feel like I need to be there when his artwork and other decor arrive but I guess we’ll have to FaceTime so I can show him where to put things in my “vision” ha ha! Happy 4th!

  While I did get some random submissions for Faves this week (Larry’s will never happen), I remained on my own. 1) SHOWKOO Luggage Set  I got this luggage set for my upcoming trip (we leave Sunday) because I need to take the carry on and the duffle with me on the plane. I’m trying this duffle in lieu of my usual backpack. I’m excited about it, and hope it’s still a favorite after the trip! 2) Survivor Season 48  While it wasn’t our favorite season premiere, we LOVE Survivor in this house and we love watching it together! 3) Govee Lights  We recently added a bar in our house and my contractor made this light box and used Govee lights. We already have Govee lights around our TV so I was familiar with them and I love them! They can change colors, be put on a timer, etc., all from my phone. There’s a little glitch with this set, so they are going to be replaced, but they still make me squeal every time I walk into the room. 4) Shut the Box Game  My family, as usual...

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...
