Five on Friday - 1.24.14

Friday, January 24, 2014
It's that time again! Friday crept up on me this week due to the Monday off - even though the week still felt like it drug on forever ;) But no need for any more complaining, because it's almost the weekend!! Oh wait, I have class tonight to make up for Monday off...ugh.

Well, when I get to start my weekend at 9:30 pm tonight...here is what's on my to-do list!

/1/

{Wear} my new down jacket! Yes, after weeks of searching / trying on / returning jackets, I have found one that works.

I went to Burlington Coat Factory over the weekend and found it in a medium, which was too big. So, I head home thinking I had been defeated, yet again...(but not before snapping a picture of the tag). Lucky me, I did a quick search of the SKU online when I got home and found the exact same jacket, but in my size, on ebay for $30! Meant to be :)

{Re-watch} this hilarious video of dogs wearing snow boots. I loose it everytime I watch this - have you ever put boots on your dog?? I would try with Deedee, but can't this winter since she has a broken ankle.


/3/

{Find} the final throw pillow needed to complete my bedset. Has this ever happened to you? Something is ALMOST perfect, but not quite. That's how I feel about my bedroom - at least as far as the bed goes. Yes, I am already aware that I am a little neurotic ;) 

It needs one more throw pillow, and I think this simple one from Ikea will do the trick. Poor mum will be getting another phone call request to stop by Ikea (she lives about 15 minutes from one) - and I am always begging her to go pick up things for me - sorry Mum!! :)

{Moisturize} I need your help ladies! My skin is so incredibly dry this winter...


I know this is a problem a lot of people have this time of year, but I feel like I can't get ahead of it at all. No matter what I use, it feels dry again in 5 minutes. Any of your suggestions are appreciated! Face, body, lips...I need it all. And don't be timid because literally nothing makes me break out.
I told Aaron, I'm this close to rubbing a stick of butter on my face.

{Eat} Well, I'm going to talk about Mac & Cheese again...which makes 2 times in the past 7 days, is that too much?? ;)

Mackenzie posted a great recipe yesterday using greek yogurt and quinoa pasta that sounds delicious - healthy, but still cheesy and creamy, with a touch of spinach!
Head to her blog, Bell Bliss to check it out!


Do you have any fun plans this weekend?

  1. That dog video is hysterical!!! I had to put a sock on Pixie's paw one time because she kept biting it and it took forever for her to realize she could walk normal. Dogs are so funny!!

  7. I swear by coconut oil for everything, I put it seriously everywhere! I wish I lived closer to an Ikea, hubby is not a huge fan so it's usually a once a year trip

  8. Dogs. In snow boots. YESSSSS. That mac looks amazing! Your new cute is so cute. It's not that dry here in the winter, but I swear by baby oil mixed in with my regular body lotion. I also love Smith's Rosebud Salve for dry spots like under my eyes and T-zone, then just cover with powder. Have a great - and warm - weekend!

  13. Girl I am right there with you on the dry skin thing! I just started using CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and that has definitely helped. If you figure out the secret, let me know!!!
