Friday Five No. 24

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s Friday and you know what that means…it’s time for the FRIDAY FIVE!!! If you are new to these parts then you should know that I reserve Fridays to talk about five random things and today’s five is no exception. Completely random but completely blog worthy. Let’s get to it!

ONE. The #NSale is open to the public TODAY!!! I hear there are tons of restocks that happened overnight so if there is something you have had your eye on then now is the time to grab it before it’s gone again!! I will be doing another post next week on the items I purchased after my initial purchase, but until then here are a few of my favorite items from the sale so far…

1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6. | 7. | 8.

TWO. I have been obsessed with organization lately. So much so that I’m pretty sure the people in the container store know me by name now…HA!! But really though, in getting gym house ready to be put on the market I have been cleaning everything in my house up and out. I have gone through every drawer, cabinet, closet and room in my house. I have taken not one but two car loads of stuff to Goodwill. I have sold bags of clothing at local consignment stores and I have organized every drawer and cabinet in my house and it feels so damn good!!!

The last room I cleaned was my bathroom and I have to admit that I was very scared of my bathroom drawers. There are only three but two of them are very roomy and deep. One holds hair products and the other holds “extras” of things (this one actually wasn’t messy at all) while the top, shallower, drawer holds things I use on a daily basis. I think I am most proud of myself for cleaning out these drawers. I can actually look in them and see what’s in there!! It’s amazing how good I feel opening those drawers and actually seeing what I have!! Makes getting ready a whole lot quicker…HA!

Proof…

THREE. Netflix is on a serious roll with original movies y’all. I recently watched To the Bone and You Get Me and I loved them both! To the Bone is a more serious movie as it deals with eating disorders and Lily Collins is spectacular in this movie. She has suffered from an eating disorder in the past and so knowing that and watching her absolutely kill this role made it even better in my opinion. You Get Me is more of a drama filled teen movie that actually reminded me a lot of Swimfan (anyone remember that movie??? Soooo GOOD!). So if you are looking for a new movie to watch then I highly suggest either of those!

FOUR. I’m going to NWA (north west Arkansas) this weekend and I’m super excited!! One of my very best friends had her baby and I can’t wait to meet him!!! Plus I am in desperate need of a good road trip. So if you follow me on Instagram expect lots of fun photos!!

FIVE. Last week I remade a really yummy recipe last and updated the old blog post with new photos so if you are in the market for a fun, summery desert then check it out here!!

I guess that’s all I have for this fabulous Friday!! I hope you have a great weekend!!

Do you have any big weekend plans??

    Coconut creme cake is my favorite! I love the flavor of coconut, and it’s impossible to have a dry coconut creme cake. Om nom nom.

    Love that Kate Spade clutch! The older I get, the smaller my handbags seem to get!

    Great job on organizing drawers! It’s amazing how much drawers seem to be a “catch all” for everything we can’t find a home for.

    I can never get enough Netflix and will be adding those original movie suggestions to my download list. They will be just what I need to stay entertained while riding through the desert on our road trip this weekend.

    I love to use baskets to organize my cupboards. I an planning on going to pick up some new baskets for my craft room. I always feel better when everything is organized and in its place.

    That sale has me in shambles! There’s so much to choose from and they sell home decor too! The struggle is real. I think that coconut cake recipe sounds amazing, reminds me of the summer! Have fun in NWA!

    Those booties in your post are adorable. It has been so long since I have owned a pair of booties. Im not a tennis shoe girl since I am all about comfort these days.
