{friday 5}

Hello Friends and Happy Friday! Typing Happy Friday never get’s old. So ready for the weekend. We’ve got so much good shit planned. Museum of Ice Cream. Bay get’s her 4-H pig. A little shopping. Lots of relaxing. Friend time. Pumped!

First, I’ve got 5 things on my mind…..

ONE – Philz Coffee // Finally a Philz in my hood. This place makes me think of my homegirl Zeb in San Diego. She turned me onto Philz last year when I was visiting. The coffee is delish and I love how unique the flavors are. Today I grabbed a Tesora: medium blend with caramel, butter + nut aromas. Yumm!

TWO – Rosewater // Get yourself some! I’m hooked. Just ordered a second bottle to keep at my desk. It’s a refreshing + hydrating mist. It’s like a little pick-me-up! You spray it on your face, neck, hairs…anywhere. It smells amaze. I’ve read lots of peeps use it to set their makeup too. Even Bay requests a spritz in the morning before school.

Revitalize skin with dewy radiance. Whether spritzed for a hydrating boost or mid-day pick-me-up, our cult-favorite facial spray helps revive dehydrated skin anytime, anywhere. It’s a rejuvenating mist infused with herbal and botanical extracts (like Aloe Vera, Gardenia, Rose, Bladderwrack and Thyme) that help soothe and re-energize skin—giving it a healthy, radiant glow.

#MBSKINTIP:To give your makeup a dewy finish, spritz your favorite brush or sponge before blending in foundation or concealer. Once you’re done, mist your face as a final step to add radiance. For an extra refreshing and cooling boost, store the bottle in your refrigerator.

It’s $7 at Nordy’s. And you will thank me once you try it 🙂

THREE – Lunchin // Whenever I do a sugar cleanse I crave the weirdest combos. Other than the Butternut Squash Soup, this has been my jam this week. I have a hard time waiting for lunch, because I can’t stop thinking about it. Ha. The little things while dieting. Slow cooker salsa chicken. Just homemade tomatillo salsa + chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours. Shred and pop in the fridge for salads + tacos. I’ll share the salsa recipe next week. So good. And so fresh. Sliced english cuc. Chickpeas. And a tablespoon of Tressemae’s Creamy Ranch. Sugar free, of course. This combo makes me extremely happy. What’s in your lunchbox? I love new ideas. Especially weird combos 🙂

FOUR – Price Adjustments // It never fails that after I make an online purchase, the very next day there is a promo or the shit is on sale. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS call for a price adjustment. Do it. I’d say 90% of the time, they give me the difference back. Today for example, I got a 25% off promo code email. Yesterday I placed my order. Called the customer service, gave them my order number, the promo code. Less than five minutes later I got this email. They credited my card $31.03. It took less than 5 minutes. And I feel like I got the deal of the damn day. Ha. Anyway, just a little online shopping tip for ya!
