Friday Five No. 59

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s officially Friday and you know what that means!! It’s time for the 59th edition of the Friday Five!! If you are new around here then you should know that I reserve Fridays for posts about five things, most of the time those things are random but sometimes there is a theme. This week (as are most weeks) is completely random! But enough babbling…let’s get to it!

ONE. I have finally found the most perfect body butter of my life. I snagged a sample of this from Ulta a while ago and finally used it and fell in love! It’s super moisturizing without being sticky or too heavy feeling on my skin pus it smells AMAZING!! The only bad part is that it’s only available online and for a while you it was completely sold out everywhere I looked! So you better believe that when I got the email notification that Ulta had it back in stock I grabbed a couple (don’t worry, it’s also super affordable!!)! This stuff truly is magical!!

TWO. I have been on a major book reading kick lately and after seeing so many people reading the Crazy Rich Asians series (plus the movie comes out this month) I finally started reading it last week. It’s pretty good so far and I can’t wait to get further into it. Have you read it yet?? Thoughts??

THREE. One of the things I HATE about losing weight is that none of my bras fit right anymore!! TMI?? I have a couple of barrettes that I love and wear around the house and when I’m running errands but I need some bras that I cancer to work and that actually give support….LOL!! So if you hav any good bra recs I would love to have them! I feel like I’m in a bra rut?!?

FOUR. I finally got my new summer door hanger in!! I waited until I moved to find one that I like and order it and I am pleased to announce that it came in and I am obsessed!! I have a few door hangers from this Etsy shop and their quality is outstanding and their hangers are so dang CUTE! I always get so many compliments on my hangers from my neighbors!!

FIVE. And last but not least today is HAIR CUT DAY!!! I get so excited on days that I get my hair cut, especially when I’m making a (Semi) dramatic change! Based on the feedback y’all gave me on last week’s post and on my IG Stories I think I am going back dark and I’m going to do a lob (long bob) so watch out on IG today because I plan on posting about it!! Thanks for all the hair help, y’al are the best!!

I hope you had a great week and will have an even better weekend!

Happy Friday to YOU!!

    I did not know there was a Crazy Rich Asians book. I will have to add it to my kindle. I saw the movie trailer and it looks like it will be good. That is a very cute door hanger, Etsy has everything!

    Your door hanger is cute. I need to make or buy one. Our door looks bare.

    I can’t recommend bras because I can’t stand underwire. I opt for sports bras or bras that don’t have underwire. Plus, tight bras suck.
