Friday Favorites

Happy Friday all. I have been traveling all week. I got back from the Bay Area after visiting family and I headed to the Dallas, Texas, area the next day. I spent the rest of the week in Dallas and now I am flying to Oklahoma to see my best friend and her little one. Then I will be flying home on Monday. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. Last week, Nadine had her Friday Favorites post up and posted about this beautiful Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyeshadow. I LOVE all things Charlotte Tilbury, so I checked it out last weekend while I was in California. It is legit. So pretty and I feel like I can wear it without any other shadows on my eyes. Usually I have three different ones to complete my look. This will make things easier when I travel and only need to bring one shadow. I am not sure I will use it daily as I love my Tarte palette and my mini Charlotte Tilbury palette, but this one is a good change up!!! I got it in Marie Antoinette as well.

TWO. I have talked about this magically stuff before, but I just want to reiterate how amazing it is. I love Kerastase's Blond Absolu Purple Mask. I used it for months and then ran out. Well, my salon also ran out twice, so I bought the Blond Absolu Conditioner instead. While it is still a purple conditioner, it doesn't do what the mask does. That stuff is golden. It keeps my blond, blond and makes my hair oh so smooth. 

I got my hair done last week and I asked her if the reason my hair was brassy and not bright was because I used the conditioner and not the mask and she said it probably was. The mask takes the brassiness out of the hair and keeps your blond, blond. So I bite the bullet and re-purchased the mask. I won't use it daily since I have the conditioner, but I will use it several times a week. Yes, I wash my hair almost daily. I do use dry shampoo about twice a week.

THREE. I know a bunch of you go to Disney often and get the cutest shirts to match each other. I want to do this for our trip in December. But I am not sure which ones to get. I have looked around a bit on Etsy, but if you have a seller that you love and have worked with, please send them my way. I am even ordering one for Rory, so it needs to be a good one and something he will actually wear.

FOUR. So I finally tried the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks. I have been wanting to try it for a long time and it did not disappoint. I am not a huge pumpkin spice person, but this was amazing. It tasted like pumpkin pie, but it wasn't overly sweet. I wish I could get one of these daily, but they do have quite a bit of calories compared to the Sweet Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks that I get.

But you best believe, I will treat myself every so often to one of these babies. Have you tried one?

FIVE. Funnies for the week.

  2. I haven't tried the pumpkin cold brew although I'm tempted, but I keep not getting it because of the calories!

    1. It does have more than the usual sweet cream cold brew I get, but I do get it every so often and I get a tall so it has less calories.

    1. It is too funny. I have had friends do that same thing. I am not a PSL fan either. I think they taste manufactured and too sweet, but the pumpkin cold brew is soooo good. I got back results from my blood oncologist yesterday. It isn't cancer or a blood disease. It is a reoccurring infection and they are not sure where it is coming from. I go see my plastic surgeon who did my implants as we think that may be the culprit. I probably will have to have them taken out. Thank you for checking in on me. I have more tests coming up and I will let you know what comes of them.

  5. I still haven't tried the Pumpkin cold brew but everyone is just raving about it. Even people who don't like the PSL seem to like that one. I was just there this morning and now I'm kicking myself for not thinking about it.

    1. It is sooo good. I don't like PSL much, but the cold brew is my jam. I only get it every so often as it is higher in calories.

  6. The calories in those pumpkin cold brews are what prevent me from getting one daily! They're SO good!

    1. Yep. That is why I don't get them more often as well. I would drink one daily if I could!

  7. Lol, your Friday funnies always make me laugh! That new pumpkin spice drink looks amazing. I usually just stick to the pumpkin spice iced coffee, but I may need to try that. ;) That eye shadow is gorgeous too! Putting it on my wish list!

    1. I am glad that you get a laugh from them! This cold brew is amazing and sooo worth a try! It is a pretty color on almost anyone. Definitely a Christmas wish list item!

  8. Try the pumpkin cream with nitro cold brew. The barista suggested it the first time I got it and I am so glad he did. There is usually too much cream for me so I may ask them to cut back on it (and save some calories).

    1. Oh I will have to try that one too. Yes to saving the calories as well!
