Friday Five No. 53

This post contains affiliate links.

Happy Friday!! I don’t know how your week has been but I have had the longest week ever. I think it all started when I thought it was a genius idea to go to the gym after I got off work in the mornings (and jus for the record I still think it’s a great idea) but I went with a friend after work one day and we stayed for longer than I’m used to and that threw my whole schedule off. I got home way late, I overslept and I was almost late for work. Oops!

So anyway, thank goodness for Friday where I’m off work and don’t have any major plans except cleaning my entire house from top to bottom and finally working on my flower beds for the year, HA! Super wild weekend, I know.

Back to today’s post. Since to day is Friday, you know the drill. I will post five random things that are completely random and call it a blog post. Confession- sometimes these are my fave blog posts to write! LOL!! Anyway, here we go!

ONE. I have never been more excited in my life to see that the new seasons of both 13 Reasons Why and Riverdale were released on Netflix recently! I have been in a Netflix slump and have been needing some new shows. Thank goodness both of these came through for me!

TWO. I accidentally locked Sophie outside during a thunderstorm the other day while I was getting ready for work. Thank the LORD she is NOT afraid of storms and didn’t mind it, even if she does look super scared during the one good pic I got of her. HA!

THREE. I started going back to the gym on a regular basis and have found a new machine I love…the rowing machine! Let me just say that it is harder than I expected but does give you a full body workout!! I also discovered the massage chairs at Planet Fitness and they are my new motivation for working out. This leg massagers are LIFE.

FOUR. I got this amazing PR package from IT Cosmetics this past week and I can’t wait to share the whole thing with you next week in a full blog post. It’s full of all of my favorite things, in mini/travel sizes!! How awesome!!!

FIVE. And last, but not least since it is technically a holiday weekend you better bet that there are tons of sales to shop!! Here are a few of my faves…

Old Navy – tanks, dresses, tees, shorts and swim are all 50% off!!
Lane Bryant – 40% off all clothing, accessories, sleep and swim!!
Maurice’s – BOGO 50% everything!!
Nordstrom – Half-Yearly Sale!!
Loft – 40% off everything!!

And there you have it, this week’s super random Friday Five! I hope you all have safe, happy, productive weekends!!

Happy Friday to you!!

    Good for you for going back to the gym. This week has been crappy for me. Had some health issues. On some meds now and hopefully next week will be much better.

    You got some great makeup there!

    I love Netflix. I haven’t seen 13 Reasons Why yet but I keep hearing people talk about it.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    I have been exercising for a little while now and I think one of my favorites also is the rowing machine. It works your entire body and gives you some great muscle tone.

    I am addicted to NetFlix and will be watching the new season as soon as I get a chance. Those cosmetics seem great so I have to try them.

    Thank you for inspiring me to finally try out the rowing machine! It’s definitely something I have to do and my friend explained all the wonderful benefits to it. I was always just too chicken to try it out.

    Wow, look at all those fun cosmetics! I’m finally getting back to into using make-up again and I’m really liking the way it makes me feel. For years I just didn’t and my self-esteem was plummeting. Its good to feel beautiful sometimes.

    Sometimes week passes by so quick and other times it feels like it’s dragging so long! This week was the quickest for me because it’s the last week of school, Yay!

    I haven’t had the chance to get out and shop this weekend, but we need some summer clothes! Sounds like you’ve had a good week. I’ve never tried a rowing machine, but it sounds good!

    I usually forego the gym during the late Spring / early Summer because we’re out and about so much but it has been so unseasonably hot this year and so my workouts have been confined to the gym. Last week it was 90+ every single day and it was nice and cool in the gym so the gym won.
