I am so thankful for the weekend! It has been a long week. Between work, doctor appointments and renovation stuff, I am beat. Luckily, we have a three day weekend ahead of us!

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. I have been shopping all week it seems or feels like. I started buying some Christmas gifts and I started prepping for our elf, Giuseppe's arrival. In preps for our elf's arrival, I have bought the girls pajamas and a book. This is our choice this year.

Santa's Underwear Book

TWO. I also purchased the girls Christmas outfits and hopeful Santa picture outfits.

THREE. There is a Sephora sale that started yesterday (for VIB) and I was in need of some refills on my products. Here is what I bought.
Dior Forever Foundation in 2.5N

Becca Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer

This stuff is legit. I bought it after several people recommended it and it works. I always have bags and dark circles under my eyes and this stuff takes it away. It goes on smooth and makes my make-up looks smooth. It doesn't crease at all.

Kerastase Blow- Dry Primer

If you are like me and have fine/thin hair that gets damaged easily, this stuff is for you. I put it on every morning that I blow-dry my hair. I put it on the tips of my hair and in my bang area. 

And I really want this Charlotte Tilbury palette, but I can't justify $75 ($63.75 with my 15% off) on an eye shadow palette with Christmas right around the corner. But how beautiful is this palette?

FOUR. On Thursday, I had a mammogram and ultrasound. My doctor found a lump in my breast and she wanted me to be immediately seen. So I had my first mammogram (diagnostic) and then an ultrasound. The mammogram looked fine, but my ultrasound showed a fibrous tumor on my implant. The radiologist believed it was benign, so he sent me data over to my doctors and said I needed to come back in 6 months for a repeat ultrasound and again every 6 months for 2 years. Now to see what my doctor's think about it paired with my wonky blood test results.

But I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop on my health and to make sure you all are doing your breast checks. If you feel anything, call your doctor. It is better to be safe.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

I am linking up with AprilA Little Bit of EverythingMeet @ the Barre and Becky.

Have a great weekend!

    1. I think they would too. It gets great reviews on amazon, so I hope my girls like it. I was going to get Gap pjs for the girls, but I like how simple and cute these ones are!

    1. I do remember that for you. I am sorry you went through it as well. I will probably have it biopsied soon too. Boobs are very weird.

  4. I really do hope that is on an actual wall somewhere & not photoshopped because that's awesome.
    GIRL>>>>> keep us updated on what your doc says about the blood with the mammo results. I have to go for mine in December & ever since I had been called back for a lump, it makes me a nervous wreck to do it!

    1. Well he thinks it is. I might still have to have it checked out since he didn't biopsy it. But I have my fingers crossed that it will stay that way. I have been feeling that way too!
