Friday Favorites

June 21, 2013 by Aliesha

Happy Friday!  Here are several things I’m loving right now!

Copious amounts of this coffee: Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee from Target.  Don’t worry; it’s decaf.

This lovely plant from Ikea.  I have no less than four of them in various places around my house.  They add a touch of “life” to a room, plus I can’t kill them because I forgot to water them because they are FAKE.

For some reason, breakfast tastes better eaten out of these fab bowls from Anthropologie.  This dishtowel (also from Anthro) is so pretty (my favorite colors!).

After many of our clear glass tumblers broke, I decided to buy some fun ones from Ikea.  These are whimsical and surprisingly sturdy.

I am totally loving these two candles right now!  The one on the left is from Bath & Body Works (it was a gift from my mom) and smells like summer… or a tropical beach.  I keep it in my bedroom.  The one on the right is from Target but it smells exactly like the famous Volcano candle from Anthro.  I keep it in the bathroom for now.

Making my grocery list is much more fun with this cute notepad from Anthro!  I picked up this fun timer on clearance at Sur la Table after my old one broke (it fell off the fridge too many times).

I’m still loving this little buddy after a week of having him!  Vera adores him (waaaay too much), so most of my day is spent telling her to leave him alone!  He is very patient, bless his heart, and hasn’t scratched her once.

No picture for this one, but I am totally loving BREAKFAST right now.  I think I’m consuming half of my daily intake of calories at breakfast.  Yesterday I had Greek yogurt, two peaches, a piece of bacon, two fried eggs, and a muffin to eat.  Today I had scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach, a piece of bacon, and a slice of whole wheat bread.

I’m also loving this Cup of Coffee Cake as a treat in the evening.  I make it with ww flour, sucanat, and Greek yogurt.  Delish!

And, to finish up, here are a few links I love right now too!

**While I mentioned several products in this post, I was not compensated in any way to do so.  I purchased most of these things with my own (birthday) money, and all my opinions are my own!
