Favorite Song – Born This Way by Lady Gaga was playing this morning when I hit a new PR during my run so I figured it was a sign that it needed to be the song of the week!
Favorite Recipe – I made Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin this week. It turned out pretty decent, but I think we decided that pork loin isn’t our favorite meal in general. Either way….it looks awesome!
I also made Lindsay’s Paleo Veggie Soup for lunches this week and it is delicious! I think I might make it again next week too.
Favorite Outfit – I brought out my jean jacket and favorite striped dress from Anthro which will basically be on repeat all spring/summer.
Favorite Beauty Find – Two weeks ago I picked up the NYX Wonder Pencil and I have never looked back. I have been using this as a lip liner and my life is forever changed!
Favorite Song: Mike Posner’s Drug Dealer Girl. I just love how chill and fun this song is.
Favorite Coffee Creamer: After my beloved Christmas creamers went away, I started buying Coffee Mate’s Natural Bliss all natural Sweet Cream. No artificial crap, you can pronounce each of the few ingredients in it and I have yet to tire of it like I do the flavored ones. For the win!
Favorite Recipe: This Apple Pear Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette looks really good and I want to try it! via
Favorite Moment: My 10 year old nephew texted me last night from his iPod while he was at the beach. We probably had a 30 minute conversation back and forth and it was the sweetest thing. It is crazy how fast they grow up!!!
Favorite Lust: This Factory Sheer Striped dress and Linen Tee from J Crew would be super cute for this spring. I need to make it over to the outlets!
I hope that everyone has a fabulous Easter weekend!!! We plan on spending Sunday with Chris’s family and I hope to torture my dogs at some point this weekend by making them wear the bunny ears. They love the attention! I shall leave you with some funnies.
Favorite Song: This week’s song is Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’. Talk about a throw back! My sister’s birthday is today and this was one of her favorite songs when we were young. Like really young.
Favorite Snack: I discovered the Chobani flips and my life was forever changed. Or something like that. But seriously, these things are delicious!!! I love the Key Lime Pie and the Nutty Banana
Favorite Delivery: There was a Kate Spade Surprise Sale last week and I stumbled upon a metallic rose gold tote. Chris got me an amazing rose gold watch for our anniversary a few years ago, and I have loved anything rose gold since! I saw that the tote was on super deal and I happened to just send Chris the link like holy crap check out this deal. He responded back with ordered the rose gold. So sweet of him!!
Favorite New Beauty Find: Last week I needed to stop at CVS for something…maybe dish soap? I can’t remember. Anyways, I stumbled upon the Milani lip products that Kristen and Mia have talked about and they were buy one get one half off! I picked up the gloss in Pink Lady and the lipstick in Pink Frost. Love them both!!! I am wearing the gloss more just because I am more of a gloss girl but trying to lean more on lipstick than before, which was never.
Favorite Birthday Girl: My little sister turns 27 today!!! Let that sink in…my little sister is turning 27. Yikes! She likes to rub my age in my face sometimes, but I like to remind her she keeps inching closer to 30 herself! Happy Birthday, Tracy! You are the most amazing person I know. You are so strong, well grounded, an amazing mom, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better to call my sister. I love you!
Favorite Funnies:
I have seen a few friends cars get booted in Atlanta when I lived there. This is pretty epic!
Favorite Song: Once again, I shazammed a song from The Originals. It seems like every week I find a new song between that show or Vampire Diaries! This song is on point for something more chill. You Should Know Where I’m Coming From by Banks.
Favorite Packages:I won two giveaways in the same week!!! I am not quite sure how I got so lucky, but I was ecstatic to receive these in the mail this last week!
I won Pearlties from lovely The Sequin Notebook ladies! These are absolutely beautiful hair ties that I was so excited to receive. I love that they have a little pearl on each piece, and I couldn’t believe how many colors they sent me! Not only are the ties cute, but the packaging is amazing. The company also donates a percentage of its sales to charity…which is pretty cool in my book.
I also won the Flex Watch from Kristin at Hopelessly Ever After! I picked the pink venice watch and it reminds me of a watermelon and I freaking love the pop of color! This company also serves a great message. I love seeing so many companies giving back!!!
Favorite Recipe: A fellow Magic City Blogger, Julie at Life in the Little Yellow House, shared a recipe this week for an Iced Earl Grey Latte and it looks amazing!!! I really want to swap out my coffee run on a Friday for this because it looks delicious! You can see the picture and recipe here.
Favorite Reading: I have been enjoying flipping through the beauty issue of Galmour this month! The little things!
Favorite Song – In honor of DJ Kontrol coming to Birmingham to play at Skky this weekend, I am sharing one of my favorite songs he did with Lil Jon…What a Night featuring DJ Kontrol 🙂 Please take a listen! It will get you pumped for Friday!!!
Favorite Lunch – Yesterday Laura and I met for lunch at Chicken Salad Chick. It was so great to get out of the office on a Thursday! We haven’t gotten together just the two of us in quite awhile and it was much needed! I am so thankful that blogging as brought amazing friends in to my life.

Favorite Gracie Pictures: My sweet sweet Gracie turned 10 on the 10th this week. 10. I cannot believe it!!! I really don’t like to think about how old she is.
I need to get her something special this weekend. My little doodles has been with me through a lot. She truly is the definition of loyal companion. I would like to say more, but I am just getting all emotional with alligator tears so….Happy Birthday, Gracie!!! Mommy loves you!
Yup, all emotional like the crazy dog lady that I am….so that is all I have today! I have a Puggle to go snuggle. Let’s get some laughs now, shall we?
