Friday Five No. 28

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. Earlier this week I officially declared it fall when I rolled up to my favorite McDonald’s and saw this…

…Pumpkin Spice Latte!!! McDonald’s has also expanded their McCafe menu to include Caramel Macchiatos!! YUM!!

TWO. Speaking of fall I got a pedicure yesterday and got a new (to me) fall color, OPI’s Miami Beet!! I think this is the perfect transition color and I can’t wait to rock it!! It looks darker and more of a berry purple on my toes.

THREE. One more fall thing and then I’m done…for now. Bath and Body Works was having a HUGE sale last weekend and I grabbed FOUR of my all time favorite candle that got brought back this year for the first time in 3 years for $30!!! Yes, you read that right, I got FOUR BBW three wick candles for under $10 each. Unfortunately they aren’t on sale anymore but I will keep you updated and let you know if that ever happens again!!

FOUR. I made the most amazing Butterfinger Cake last week and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you!! Tune in to the blog next week to catch the post and recipe!!

FIVE. I haven’t been as present on social media or on this blog lately because I’ve been busy. I mentioned last week that I had a new niece that was about to be born and she was and then my whole family was super pumped about it and then she got sick. She got transferred to the hospital I work at and has been in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) ever since. She is getting much better and I went to the hospital yesterday on my day off and got to hold her for the first time! I held her for three hours and she just slept and kept smiling in her sleep and it was the sweetest thing ever. I am obsessed with her. HA!

If you pray, please say a prayer for my sweet Camille and if not can she get some good thoughts? Thank you in advance!!!

How has your week been??
Do you have big plans for this weekend??

    Yay! I LOVE FridayFive! That pumpkin coffee looks so good! You know, McDonald’s has some tasty coffee. I’m surprised more people don’t talk about it.

    Fall means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!!!! I’m so excited to start drinking coffee with pumpkin creamer. Fall for us means taking the grand kids to the pumpkin farm, an annual tradition going on 3 years. Nothing sweeter than a baby’s smile!

    This is, so far, my favorite Friday Five post. The pumpkin spice latte sounds yummy. And your niece, Camille, is so adorable. I’ll be praying for her.

    I am probably one of the only person who hasn’t tried the pumpkin spice coffee. A sample would be awesome so that I don’t waste it if I don’t like it.

    The best thing about fall besides cable knit sweaters is pumpkin spice anything. I’ll take in coffee, too.
