Five Friday Favorites 03/17/17

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! And happy Friday. Do you have exciting plans for the holiday? I’m finally getting my hair cut today (I like the length, but it gets so thick) and then… who knows what else the day has in store. Except crab cakes. Those will be dinner.

Anyway, let’s kick off a fabulous weekend by looking back at some of our favorites from the week. Ready? Sweet.

Beauty and the Beast

We certainly weren’t going to a midnight showing, but when we found out there were earlier showings, my parents and I decided to go last night. It was beautiful and adorable and I just loved it. It does the story justice, and it was gorgeous, which is about all you can ask of a live-action version of an animated film, if you ask me. Emma Watson is flawless. That is all.

A super bright manicure

You can see it above a little, but my nails are obnoxiously pink. I usually gravitate toward softer nail polishes and French manicures. In fact, I almost told the manicurist to switch to something else, but then it grew on me. I now officially love ridiculously bright nails.

Divide

It’s so catchy and pretty! I kinda love Ed Sheeran. This feels like I’m late to the game, but I’ve listened to all the songs on repeat over the last few days.  And especially “New Man”. It makes me laugh and smile and dance around while stress-baking.

Matcha scones

Speaking of stress-baking… these are the result.

I’ve never really been a scone person because, well, they’re not the easiest to pull off, and a bad one is dry and crumbly. Which is exactly how I do not like my baked goods. I am, however, a matcha person. I love that it has an extra kick of L-theanine, and I’m trying to incorporate it into my life a little more. I can always use a little extra chill, and L-theanine does that. Anyway, I had an incredible matcha scone when I met Kara and I had to go and make my own. Look out for a recipe soon. They’re yummy. And of course I glazed them with chocolate, just because.

My mom’s diamond

This was my birthday present from my parents. After my dad bought her a new diamond recently, they decided to save this one for me. My mom found a new chain and they gave it to me on Wednesday. Love love love. Obviously, the picture doesn’t really do it justice, and the lighting isn’t fabulous, but it’s gorgeous and I love it.

That’s all for me for now! I hope you have a restful weekend. Eat fantastic food, spend time with people you love, get some sleep, and I’ll talk to you next week!
