Friday Favorites- Last of February

Happy Friday! I'm so happy to say Peace Out to this week. It dragged. But today started off great because I found a $5 on my way to work, just laying on the sidewalk. I looked around, but the street wa deserted, so YAY to found money! This weekend I'm hoping to knock out a few more of my February goals, run a bunch of errands, and go see How To be Single. Let's kick off this weekend right with Amanda and some of this week's favorites. 

Favorite Song: Is anyone watching American Idol? Kelly Clarkson's performance last night was so emotional- there was not a dry eye in the audience, and I almost never tear up at songs! Piece by Piece- Kelly Clarkson



Favorite Video(s):
I don't know what's funnier, The Ellen DeGeneres/Adele prank on Jamba Juice, the fact that overnight, Jamba Juice created a "Swishy Chug" website, complete with a $2 off smoothie coupon, or the video regarding their new "Rolling in the Beets" smoothie.





I would absolutely love to see Deadpool host SNL! Even though it probably won't happen, I loved Ryan Reynold's Deadpool's Kanye West-esque rant regarding the petition!



This Trump/Game of Thrones mashup is perfection.



Favorite Lust Item:
Marie shared this last week, but I am in LOVE with these Golden Girls FUNKO dolls. My bff may seen one of these as an extra wedding day gift!

Favorite Reads:
  • I love when the universe works in my favor and gives me a guide to match two of my favorite things: Girl Scout cookies and wine.
  • You can be sure I'll be using Morgan Freeman's voice to guide me to Virginia in a few weeks.
  • This is not an uplifting post, but I appreciate this woman's candor, her courage to admit this to herself and post it, and her strength in seeking help. I've never sufferred from an eating disorder, and this woman explains the mental and emotional stress of living with addiction in a way that is relatable, if not heartbreaking. Confessions of a Food Addict. 
  • In a similar vein, I stumbled across this post on another woman's road to recovery. I think it's important to bring awareness to some of the issues women face.
  • Beth shared this on Wednesday, but it hit a nerve so I'm sharing it again. THIS is why I dislike being labelled as part of the Millennial Generation. If I must be labelled, I'd prefer to (correctly) be thrown in the Oregon Trail Generation.

Happy weekend friends!

  1. OMG that song. Jesus I had to get up from desk and walk away so I wouldn't start balling. That is a beautiful song. I really really really want Deadpool to host SNL but I don't think he could be as dirty as he is supposed to be if he did and they also probably want to be careful not to overload so people want to see the next movie. That pic from TWD is hilarious.

  2. LOL @ Cadbury's eggs for breakfast. It's almost that time.

    I want to see Deadpool but I do not want to go to the theater. Conundrum.

    I didn't see AI but I saw a bunch of people post about this. Why was it so emotional or I just have to watch it?

  4. Cracking up at the Ellen clip! She's ridiculous and amazing. And Jamba Juice is brilliant for jumping on the joke and using it for marketing. I want to see How to be Single! Let us know how it is.
