Leave a Little Sparkle

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!

Happy Fri*YAY*

It's Fri*YAY*! I think I say this every week but this week really did feel SUPER long. Between teaching 2 barre classes, studio meeting, auditioning 2 groups of amazing kiddos for 2 competition dances, late night choreography and my full time job, I am ready for the weekend!  Also, I seem to have a pinched nerve in my shoulder/neck that is making workout impossible this week. Boooooo!

Ok let's get to these favorites, shall we?

I love gazpacho and have been looking for a good recipe to make this summer.  I think I just found it.

Tomatillo Avocado Dip


Sometimes you want something other than salsa!

Alrighty yall! I am supposed to get to cross something off of my bucket list this weekend so keep your fingers crossed that the weather cooperates!

Happy Weekend!

Linking up with Amanda for Friday Favorites!

How to have a lovely weekend

1. Shop
2. Eat (duh)
3. Spend time with someone you love

I did tons of these things Friday-Sunday.  My mom came up so we could have 1 last Dallas weekend before the move.  In the span of 2 days we went to 2 Targets, 3 Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, Ikea, TJ Maxx, Pier One, and 80 bajillion restaurants!  Whew!  Mom was tons of help finding stuff for the new house (Michigan his white-bachelor pad walls are in TROUBLE).  I could have sworn we bought so many pillows, crosses, picture frames, and more knick-knacks but when we got home and laid it out, it looked like we only bought 4 things.  I have to keep reminding myself that it takes time to decorate and that nobody just moves into a house and has it just the way they want it right away.

Love my new throw pillows from Home Goods and Hob-Lob

Found this (and 8 other) cute head baubles at Charming Charlie.

Between our shopping extravaganzas, we ate.  And ate.  And ate.  

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

French Silk Chocolate Pie on a pretzel crust!  Oh. My. Gaaawwwwwdddd!  So good!

Oddfellows-BEST Bloody Mary in Dallas!

Salted Carmel and Dark Chocolate gelato!  

I also took my mom to get her first blow-out and we went to see a friend of mine in a play.  We had such a great weekend and really got to spend a lot of quality time together.  Reality is starting to set in that I won't be a short plane ride from my family anymore......sad face.

What did you do?
