It’s finally FRI-YAY and you know what that means?? Another edition of the Friday Five!! If you are new here then you should know that Fridays are where I talk about five random things that sometimes go together in a theme but most of the time don’t. Today feels like a random Friday…here we go!
ONE. I love the smell of Capri Blue’s Volcano candle but it is soooo expensive. I saw a lot of bloggers talking about them and posting photos of them so I went to Anthropologie specifically to smell that candle, that sounds as silly as I felt going in there, and I fell in love!! However I am not one to shell out big bucks for a candle so you better bet that when I found a dupe at Target for less than half the price I bought it! Yes y’all, Target’s Bella Island Moonlight candle smells exactly like the Volcano candle and I think right now they are buy one get one free at Target? Buy me ALL THE CANDLES please!!
TWO. I bought a new phone last week and of course it’s back ordered until mid-December. Ever since I updates to iOs10 every single day I get a pop up that tells me that I am out of storage on my phone and I need to delete some tuff to free up space. So every single day I have to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat and then re-upload them free up some space. It is annoying AF y’all. So I ordered an iPhone 7 Plus with 256GB. I’m not playing around anymore y’all. HA!
THREE. So I watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them last week and I loved it. I think because I went in with zero expectations and had no previous knowledge of what would happen in the movie I loved it as much as I did. I think if you go see it thinking it would be just like Harry Potter you will be disappointed. Sure, I missed Hogwarts and Dumbledore and Harry but this movie is amazing in it’s own way. And there are several references to Harry Potter’s world, you just have to pay attention. It’s really good and if you are on the fence about going to see it I say do it! You won’t regret it. After watching it I went to Target and promptly bought the book. Now I can’t wait for the other movies!!
FOUR. In my blog post about Girl’s Game Night In I included mini cans of sparkling wine that come with their own straws as part of my goodie bags and got several questions about them. They are by Sofia I think they are adorable and they actually taste pretty good. I think they are a fun treat and hello!! They come with a bendy straw! I found mine at my local liquor store and they were cheaper than the price listed online. You can’t beat that! If you have been thinking about trying it then do it and then tell me what you think.
FIVE. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. So I watched it. Tears were shed, I laughed way too much, and those last four words. THIS CAN’T BE THE END!!!! Or is it? I need MORE!!! Have you watched it? Want to talk? EMAIL ME.
What have you been up to lately??
Did you watch Gilmore Girls??
Fantastic Beasts was so good and I loved the screenplay as well! I LOVE candles so I’ll have to pick up that Bella Island Moonlight next time I’m at Target.
Those mini cans of sparkling wine is a pretty nifty idea. I might just get one for my next girl’s night out with friends! Thanks for the idea.
Oh my goodness that candle sounds amazing I am such a fan of different scents so I definitely need to try it!
Just the name of that candle makes me want to take a sniff! And the fact that it’s much cheaper than the Anthropologie one makes it a win-win.
MY two favorites would have to be that candle and those cans of wine! Invite me to the next girl’s night in! ha!
I have watched it! I binged it alongside my best friend that I watched it with back in the day when it was airing. :) Nostalgia!
Love all of what J K Rowling writes or has written. I haven’t read this yet but it is on my list of to read soon. Candles and soda are luxury items.
I know so many people who loved Fantastic Beasts. I don’t think they have gotten th screenplay yet though. That would be a great Christmas gift.
This week was sort of H$%^ week for me! WOW was I busy – and this weekend – every busier – I’m swimming in schedules right now!
These sound like awesome Friday Fives. The Bella Island Moonlight candles I am going to have to check out for sure. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is something I am going to have to see now. Thanks for sharing your Friday Five.
I havent watched gilmore girls so i dont get the squeee of excitement. Maybe one of these years, ill start it. Lol
I like Friday five! What a neat idea and I love your picks! The candle looks beautiful and since I’m holiday shopping this weekend, I will have to check it out!
I love candles! Have to check out the Island Moonlight one! I watched Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and I don’t know what to think about it. I hope it was not the end.
I love when I find candles that I love. Even better when they aren’t expensive! I haven’t seen or read Fantastic Beasts. I also haven’t watched Gilmore Girls.
I am so excited to have a chance to sit down and watch the new Gilmore Girls. I also love the wine in a can, I must look for it now.
I need to read Fantastic Beasts and see the film as well. I am a Harry Potter freak lol.
I need to read Fantastic Beasts and see the movie! I can’t believe that I haven’t gotten to it yet!
I am yet to watch fantastic beasts but can not wait and loving those candles
