LC and Minnie Mouse:
I didn't think it could get any better after her creation of the Cinderella collection for Kohls, but it is. Lauren Conrad is creating the most adorable Minnie Mouse collection. I can already tell I will want most of it. The only question I have is "Where do I sign up to be a Blog Ambassador for the LC Collection?" lol
I think buying a baby pool for our pup was the smartest thing I did this weekend. I am very thankful for the sweetest target lady that went above and beyond to find me one seeing I haven't been able to find one for weeks! When we first adopted him, we did not think Bruno liked the water. But on our first trip to the dog park he followed a fellow dog into the water and has been addicted ever since. Its a great way to drain his energy since we are gone most of the day. He's pretty good about not being too destructive in the yard with the pool. Most for the time he just runs laps then lays in the pool. He's our personal source of entertainment.

Freezer Meals:
It is really "old" of me to like Freezer Meals?? The fact that I am writing this means I am coming to that place in my life where having a pre-made meal that I just have to throw in the crock pot to cook is a highlight of my week. Oh goodness.
As I have said many time's before. Thank God for pinterest. Without it I would not be able to find yummy and veggie filled freezer meals.

My Valentines Day:
Date Day's with my husband are my favorite. You can check out our lastest Date Day here. We had a pretty sweet Valentines Day Date Day.

Disney Side:
Disney has (and probably will always have) the best marketing out there. I'm always in awe of what they come up with. Their recent video showing your "Disney Side" is great and so creative!

Raglan Road:
We are braving the Disney Valentines Day crowds and heading to Raglan Road at Downtown Disney this Saturday. It is one of our favorite places to go. They have amazing gluten free options for me and lots of manly food for him ;) We feel very proud of our Irish heritage when we go there.

LC by Lauren Conrad:
Every time Lauren Conrad comes out with new clothes and or shoes I have to add them to my Friday Favorite list. I love these new flats! Perfect for Spring :)

I actually remembered to write up a Friday Favorites this week! Thank you to my brain for remembering!

SO Delicious Creamer :
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this stuff.  My local Walmart is not the greatest about keeping items well stocked, so sometimes it is a hit or miss when it comes to getting my favorite items. However, I was so happy when I saw they had So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer this week. Their Coconut Creamer is my favorite. It's so sweet and light. Their almond milk creamer is good too but I prefer the coconut. It's a great addition to your morning cup of joe.
I've always had a sensitive stomach in the morning and I noticed since using coconut creamer it has greatly reduced my nausea in the morning after my lovely cup of coffee.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Nut Butter Cookie:
I saw this recipe on Taylor's blog Gluten Away. I can't wait to try this myself. It is VERY simple and looks so delicious :) A perfect cold day snack!

26 Things That Happen When You Don’t Eat Gluten Anymore

SunKissed ::
My favorite body cream at the moment. Picked it up at the Victoria Secret Semi Annual Sale this weekend. It just screams summer! Perfect for this Florida girl.


The March Family Letters ::
I love finding new web series on youtube. My favorite "The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy" has been on a hiatus so I've been a little sad about having no Youtube series to watch. I was so excited to see that Pemberley Digital came out with a new series called The March Family Letters.  It is a "reimagining" of "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott.

The SkinnyTaste Cookbook :: 
I absolutely love this cookbook! Filled with so many good recipe's! You can read my review of it here.

Two Friday Favorites in a row?? No you are not seeing things ;)

Here are a few of my favorite things.....

The newly released trailer for Cinderella:
I am excited for this movie. Cinderella is one of my favorite princesses and I love films like "Ever After" that recreated the famous story. I am very interested in how disney portray this film
Christmas DIY:
This upcoming christmas season has me inspired to be more crafty. Whether or not that happens is another story but I can atleast pin all the ideas that appeal to me to my hearts content. ;)

My new favorite sweater: I love my new LC Conrad sweater. Its the one in the picture below. And I may or may not be heading to kohl's on Friday to buy the boots in the photo as well ;)  Baby it's cold outside:
This new version of "Baby it's cold outside" with Idina Menzel and Michael Buble is perfect for cold weather that has covered most of the US this week, including Florida. My goodies from Enjoy Life: I loved this lovely package of goodies I received from Enjoy Life :) I won a couple weeks ago on the #FACCWDW twitter party :) They are also apart of the Food Allergy and Celiac Convention this weekend (That you should come to if you happen to be in the area!) 
Happy Weekend Friends! 

I figured it was about time I do another Friday Favorites. I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want to do a monthly favorites or a weekly Friday favorites and I always seem to go back to the weekly Friday Favorites. It's been my blog staple for a while now even though I haven't been as consistent with it as I used to be.

But without further ado:
Here are a few of my favorite things....
(I bet you were mentally singing it in your head too ;) )


LC Conrad Bathroom Collection:
If you have been reading my blog for a while you know I am obsessed with everything Lauren Conrad. She inspires a lot of my wardrobe. Recently she released a bathroom collection with Kohls and I want all of it.
We are actually in the process of making plans to redo our small little bathroom. My favorite color scheme of the collection is this one:

I am currently in a bloggers writing block. I cooked a new recipe yesterday but  wont have a new recipe post for a couple days which also means I need to have something else interesting written up to post.

But I don't.

Maybe the fact I haven't had coffee in two weeks have something to do with it.

The best I can do is write you some of my favorites on this friday.
It's a little different then normal. I took the time to photograph some things around my house that are my favorites.

This body butter was a gift from a dear friend at my very low key, but nevertheless awesome, bachelorette party. I love it. It smells like chocolate almonds. I keep it by my desk and will rub some on when my little blogger hands get a little dry.

 I saw this at the store a couple weeks ago and a couple days after I told my husband what I saw he came home caring this on his back. Needless to say, I was beyond excited.  I will be "that girl" with the R2-D2 backpack at school lol.

In the later half of high school, I switched over to powder foundation. I have a very natural face with freckles and natural tones that I don't like to cake on make-up on my face.
I have used a basic powder foundation from Avon for years. And then I decide to change it up a bit. Spend a little more and see if its worth it. Oh my goodness it is. I had the ladies at Sephora color test my skin and they found my shade and it completely matched my skin tone. It has great coverage and I don't see any turning back now!

A little while ago, I decided I was going to try to start using facial and body products that are free of gluten or wheat. Even though I am allergic to gluten, I have never had a horrible reaction when it comes to my skin. Nevertheless I wanted to see if my skin look better by taking out gluten in my facial products, mostly in my face cleaning products since then are absorbed into my body. After doing some research I found that Neutrogena Naturals is the one of the best "on the market" products that are free of gluten and wheat. I have used the basic Neutrogena cleanser for the past year and have loved it but never though to try the "Natural" brand. It smells amazing and it even feels better than the regular cleanser.

These are one of my outfit staples. I think every girl needs to own a pair. They are a great go to for everyday. I love my Toms but I might also love these more!

Annie's Bunny Cookies:
I found these in Target the other day and about fell over. It's been forever since I had anything like these little cookies. You know how hard it is to be a nanny and not be able to have some of those little chocolate and vanilla flavored cookies the child you offers you?? It's hard. I had about half the bag in about two days. I've eaten Annie Homemade product for years. Mom used to buy their Mac and Cheese in bulk when I was young and now I still buy the same products (just gluten free) for my husband and I.
House Colors:
After the summer I'm really hoping the hubster and I can splurge a little and get our house painted. I love our cute little house but I dont know why someone decided to paint it yellow with green trim. I'm thinking we are going to go with something like the picture below. What do ya'll think?

Shrimp Scampi:
If you haven't seen it already. Check out my recipe for Gluten Free Shrimp Scampi. Its probably the yummiest thing I have made in a long time. You can click the photo below to go to the post.

LC Conrad July Collection:
I think Lauren Conrads clothes are in 75% of my Friday Favorite post's. Which I don't mind. Some of the dresses from her July collection are amazing. If I had the money I would buy ALL THE DRESSES.
My hubby and I:
I could list for hours some of my favorite things about my relationship with my husband. One of my favorite things is how we tend to reference Frozen for somethings in our lives. For instance when we are talking about good things we tend to say "all good things, all good things" in an Olaf voice. We have know shame.

Society 6:
I love this website. It has so many interesting design's and products. I've already pinned somethings that I want to buy for our house.
Like, how cute is the Wookie and Han bag? I need to add this to my star wars collection lol

NASCAR time:
The hubster has to work most of today so we wont be able to join friends for 4th of July celebrations like normal because he wont be getting home in time. However, he will be home in time for us to head up to Daytona to watch cars go around in a circle! (and no i am NOT being sarcastic). The past couple of years, I have gone to NASCAR races with my dad. So we are gonna celebrate the red, white, and blue by watching some good ol' nascar. ( no, you may not comment on how boring nascar is, to each his own and my own is liking nascar ;) )


OLAF:
Ok, I know I have ENOUGH mugs in my kitchen cabnit but COMON. How cute is olaf!

Food Allergy and Celiac Convention:
I am so excited about this! I am a part of the blogger street team for this convention in November. If you are in the Orlando area on the 22nd of November COME to this convention. There is going to be tons of vendors, speakers, and culinary demonstrations.

Yay, It's friday! I am excited for this weekend. The hubster and I have some house fixer-upper stuff to do (including finishing up our DIY chalkboard // post to follow sooon!//). And Sunday we are going to enjoy some Jesus praising and then the beach with family. Hopefully Florida's bipolar summer weather will be in a good mood for us this weekend.

Anywhozels. Here are my favorite things from this past week.

::It was my birthday!::
This can be a favorite from my week right?
My husband fed my obsession with mason jars by buying me a stackable mason jar measuring cups. And also drinking lids for my actual mason jars that I drink out of.
(btw these aren't my pictures. Someone *points to self* was lazy and didnt have time to take photo's herself)


::The new teaser for Mockingjay::
Did you feel the feels too!? My heart cried "Pooooor Peta"

::My new chalkboard::
We still need to put trim around it but here is a sneak peak ;) (excuse any spelling errors)

::New YouTube series::
Call me a nerd but I like finding/watching YouTube videos. I think a lot of people assume YouTube is just for cat videos but sometimes you can find some good content. I binge watched and caught up to the latest episode to a new series called "The New Adventures of Peter Pan and Wendy". It's so cute. I want to be Wendy.

Also if you like watching seires on YouTube. Check out
The Lizzy Bennett Diaries
Emma Approved

::Starbucks Yummyness:: I am not a Starbucks junkie by any means but I do like a nice drink from there from time to time. I will admit, I will take a Dunkin Donuts flavored coffee over Starbucks any day because I find Starbucks coffee to be a bit bitter if not made right. BUT I think I may have found my new favorite flavored coffee drink from Starbucks. Iced Decaf (this girl gets major shakes from full test)  Vanilla Macchiato with chocolate drizzle.  aka The YUMYUM drink.

Have a good weekend my friends!! 

A little mix up for this Friday Favorites.

I wanna talk about my favorite jeans. Cause if you haven't noticed, I wear the same brand in almost every "Daily Outfit" post.
And I am not ashamed.
Every girl knows, when you find that ONE brand of jeans that fits you well. You buy them in every color and wear them all the time.
Hence, my jeans from Kohls. SO skinny jeans to be exact.
Love! They are the one pair of skinny's that don't cut off the circulation in my leg.
