Friday Faves

Good morning! How about some Friday Faves? One of my potential resolutions for 2024 was not purchasing things from IG. I’m glad I didn’t listen to myself, two of my Faves this week were IG purchases! 🤪 Moderation is the key.

1) Vessi Weekend Shoes I am going on 3 fairly big trips in the next few months. These shoes popped up on IG, and claimed to be comfortable, supportive, breathable, lightweight, waterproof and perfect for traveling. They said all the right things, so of course I had to buy them. I’ve worn them twice to make sure they were broken in for traveling, and I really like them. I think they could be a little dorky, but dorky sneaks (retro) seem to be in right now. They actually look pretty cute with jeans and with leggings. 

2) Innatus Aromatherapy Shower Steamer I was cleaning out my closet recently and found this. I had no idea I had it or where it came from (don’t judge). I’m pretty sure it came from an old FabFitFun box. I decided, since I own it, why not try it?! I actually am a huge fan! You spray a little into the shower stream and it’s like you are in a spa. I looked for it on Amazon but couldn’t find this exact one, although they had several offerings that I may try when this runs out.

3) Skinn Derm Appeal Microderm Abrasion Treatment You guessed it: Thank you, IG! I have been trying to use this 2x a week since early February, and I really like it! My face feels so smooth and my makeup goes on better. 

4) Anna O: A Novel by Matthew Blake This book was a 12+hour listen. A little longer than I usually listen to, although I thought the premise sounded interesting. When I started listening it sounded kind of formal (the male narrator) and I wasn’t sure I’d like it. It may be better to actually read this one if you are picky about narrators? I don’t know. (Ironically, the next book I picked, I noticed has the same guy narrating one of the parts. I’ll start it today, so we shall see…) Anyway, I ended up REALLY liking it a lot! The ending was completely unexpected (big twist). I read somewhere that this was Matthew Blake’s debut novel. It was definitely a good one!

That’s it for this week! Happy Friday!

  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...
