Leave a Little Sparkle

{via}

I thought this quote was appropriate for the weekend!  Happy Friday yall!  I am linking up today with the fabulous Amanda who is getting married today!  I can't believe she is freaking hosting a link up on the day of her wedding but I'm going to take advantage of it for sure!

Here are a few of my favorite things I found this week!

Favorite Recipe
Sesame Kale Glow Bowl

Yall go make this right now!  I added beef instead of tempeh but this was amazing!  It made about 4 servings.

Favorite New Purchase
Amelie Sparkle Bracelet

I have had my eye on this beauty for awhile now and when Pure Barre had a trunk show last week, I just had to pull the trigger!  It arrived yesterday and I put it on immediately!

Favorite New Health Kick
Juice Bar Shots

{via}

I have been taking a couple of juice shots for the past 2 weeks and I feel amazing!  My sinuses are more clear, I can breathe better, and I have a lot more energy.  The 2 I've tried so far are the Hot Shot (lemon, ginger and cayenne pepper) and the Turmeric Tonic (orange, turmeric and cayenne pepper).

We're supposed to have warmer but rainy weather this weekend but then snow on Monday.  What the heck?!  Here's hoping the sun comes out at some point this weekend!

Friday Favorites

Does anyone else feel like this week has been so slow? TGIF for reals this week yall!

You know what Fridays mean around here!


Linking up again with Amanda!

Favorite Songs
Mr. Probz - Waves
Such a mellow song with a great beat.  For some reason it reminds me of being in LA and taking dance class at the Edge. #randomthought


Last week on So You Think You Can Dance we got to hear the acoustic version of Sam Smith's Latch.  I loved everything about the song and the choreography of this piece.


Favorite Recipe

I first saw this recipe on Skinnytaste, then on Fab Fit Fun and then on Ashley's blog.  It looked delicious and I knew I had to make it this week!  I picked up the veggetti and was 100% convinced that it wouldn't work.  Boy was I wrong!  That thing worked like a charm and I had a big bowl of zucchini noodles in NO time!

Favorite Purchase
As you read yesterday, I finally bought a Panama hat.  I will definitely be wearing it this week.

I also picked up this lovely little lady and she was on sale!

Favorite Netflix Discovery

Sometimes at work, instead of listening to music I put Netflix on my phone and zone out.  This only happens when I'm updating spreadsheets or doing something that I can totally zone out for (which isn't often). I was so excited that The Wonder Years has been added to the site!  I remember watching that show every week with my mom and loving it even though I probably didn't understand half of the storylines.  Insert binge watching party this weekend!

Hope y'all have a fabulous Friday and a great weekend!

The Perfect Necklace

It's no secret that I LOVE jewelry.  Anything that adds some sparkle or personality to an outfit is right up my alley.  My idea of a perfect outfit is worn in jeans, a white tee and a bunch of statement pieces.  When I lived in Dallas I got to shop at market every 6 weeks and loved being able to purchase fun new baubles at wholesale prices!  Now a days, it is SO hard for me to pay retail prices but my love affair with pretty things usually wins out.

Last month I mentioned in this post that I was dying for this beauty from Bauble Bar:

My favorite fashion blogger, Courtney Kerr collaborated with Bauble Bar on this necklace in 2013 and I have had a mission to add it to my collection ever since.  I mean, what better piece to pair with a LBD, white tee, and just about anything else in my closet? However, I couldn't bring myself to pay the price (remember my comment about never paying full price for jewelry?).

Imagine my surprise when I saw this box in my mail last week:

I could barely contain my excitement as I ripped open the box!  What on earth could be inside and who on earth made the purchase?

Well, I have one VERY sweet and sneaky mom!  Turns out she remembered reading about Bauble Bar in one of my previous posts.  I smiled from ear to ear when I pulled out this beauty:

Yes folks, she is FINALLY mine!  Excuse the tag but I couldn't wait any longer to try this beauty on!  Mom's exact words were "a perfect necklace for a girl turning 30".  Does she know me or what?!

I can't wait to see all the different ways I can style this necklace.  I think I'll take a few cues from Ms. Kerr herself:

So many fun styles to try!

Linking up with Shanna today for Random Wednesday!
