Friday Favorites

*This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy Friday all and a very Happy Veteran's Day to all my friends and family who have served in the military. A special shout out goes out to my dad who was in the military for over 30 years!

I am off today in honor of Veteran's Day, but the girls daycare was still open, so we dropped them off this morning and we are having a day to ourselves because we rarely get that. We have a breakfast out together, hopefully a massage and who knows what else. Tomorrow we have the second to last home football game for the Nevada Wolf Pack and then Sunday I am single mommying it again. Rory will be gone until Friday, so fingers crossed the girls are angels for me next week.

Let's get onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. It is that time of year that Bath and Body Works puts out their holiday scents. I LOVE the scent of Champagne Toast. I have it in candles and lotions. Last year when they had their clearance sale on all wintery items, I bought four bottles of it. Yep. I LOVE it that much. I have one bottle left (I did gift one of them) and I will make making my way to get more. Seriously, scoop of everything in Champagne Toast.

TWO. I am sure a bunch of you have seen this shirt around IG and other blogs. I saw it and immediately wanted it. BUT, it isn't in my size online (small) and it isn't anywhere close to me. Ugh. I am hoping it comes back in stock before the holiday season because I think it perfect for my friends 30th birthday party (themed black and white for us, gold for her), my Christmas party and even Christmas dinner. Anyone have a scoop if it will be back in stock soon?

THREE. Recently Trista from Classy Chaos talked about a PopSocket mount. Remember how I got a PopSocket recently and I love it? Well she mentioned that there is a mount for it which allows you to mount the phone and PopSocket to a mirror, dashboard, fridge, etc. Well I thought this would be perfect for when I travel and rent a car. When you rent a car from Hertz, you now get basically a phone as your navigation system and it sucks. I would rather use my phone, but I don't want to be looking down at it. I am totally getting this mount for my trips. Plus it is only $10.

FOUR. I have been wanting an Instant Pot FOREVER. My MIL has had one for awhile and she has made some amazing mushroom risotto that I would like to make again. Plus I can make my mom's swiss steak in it. Plus a million other recipes that I have found that I can't make unless I have an Instant Pot. So I finally caved in (or begged my husband) to allow me to buy an Instant Pot. It arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to make everything with it. Do you have a favorite Instant Pot recipe? Send it my way.

FIVE. In case you missed it, this week I posted a Christmas gift guide for toddler girls (even though a few items are gender neutral). So many cute things that the girls will be getting this year.

  9. Champagne Toast is my favorite scent too, and I refuse to light my candle unless I know I have a backup of it since it's only available for a limited time each year <3

  13. Champagne Toast is one of my favorite candles! I had no idea that they also made it as a lotion?!!? Definitely checking that out this year. I am all about that Instant Pot because I hate cooking. You'll have to share some recipes with it so I can convince the husband that we need to get it!

  18. Oh I love BBW Candles. They were on sale and I totally forgot to pick some up. Oh I hope they go on sale again soon. Ok, my friend just got an instant pot and she is obsessed with it. She said it was the best thing ever! She has been on the search for some good recipes too! If she gets some, I will certainly send them your way.
