Friday Five No. 70

This post contains affiliate links.

Hey hey and happy Friday!! I don’t know about you but my week has been insanely busy and I Just realized that next week is Thanksgiving?! How did I let that sneak up on me like that?? This year is going by way too fast for me. Back to today…since it’s Friday you know what that means! It’s time for the Friday Five!

If you are new around here then you should know that I reserve Friday’s for random things. Five random things to be exact. Things that I think deserve a mention on the blog but wouldn’t necessarily make a full blog post. You know what I mean? Anyway, enough rambling, let’s get to today’s post!

ONE. My EIGHT YEAR blogging anniversary was officially on November 11th but I finally got around to posting about it yesterday. Oops! Better late than never, right? Especially when it includes a giveaway of some of my very favorite beauty/hair products!! Check it out and get yourself entered today!

TWO. And speaking of giveaways have you entered my Formulate Giveaway yet?? It ends on November 27 so you have 11 days left to enter and a little birdy told me there aren’t that many entries so your chances are pretty good for you to customize your very own shampoo and conditioner!! My post on the products is here and you can enter the giveaway here!! Good luck!!

THREE. It snowed in central Arkansas this week. What is this madness?? It never snows here this early in the “winter” and I’m just glad it didn’t stick. It did, however, snow enough so that my windshield was covered in a snow/ice mix and I had to sit in my car for 15 minutes and let it defrost. I am now adding de-icer to my Walmart shopping list. Ugh. At least it was pretty??

FOUR. I started C25K (Couch to 5K) on Monday. I finished day 1 and I didn’t die!! I was supposed to do day 2 on Wednesday but I overslept my alarm and was almost late for work/that’s the day it snowed and then yesterday I just wasn’t feeling it so today I’m going to do day 2 and the tomorrow day 3. Gotta get in all three days this week!! LOL!! Hopefully this will be a lesson to not procrastinate and do it when I’m supposed to…HA!

FIVE. I also finally got around to updating my Poshmark closet this week!! I added soooo much stuff on Tuesday!! A lot of it sold super quick but I still have a lot left so check it out!!

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

    Happy Friday!

    Ugh, snow. I’m in Texas so we don’t get a lot of it, but it has been chilly. We did get some snow last year, so who knows?

    I did the couch to 5K a few years ago and it was fun. These days I mostly walk with a little HIIT training thrown in. It never snows this early in SC either but it’s so cold today. Brrr

    I love Peter Thomas Roth products. I’ve collected a bunch over the years and am always looking to add more to my vanity.

    First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your 8th anniversary of being a blogger. I have never tried to that C25K and it sounds like a nice challenge to take but will do that after Holidays. Hahaha!

    for some reason, I always through Arkansas never got snow HAHAHHAHAHA not sure why. I’m in Florida and we never get it. apparently, it snowed (a tiny bit – like snow flurries) in Tallahassee (the state capital) in 1988. and then some REALLY, REALLY light dust a year or two back..but i didn’t see it for my own eyes, so i doubt it’s true.

    i’ve installed, deleted and re-installed couch to 5k and have not once started it. what is wrong with me!

      LOL…we usually get more ice than snow and everyone freaks out. So any time we get any sort of winter weather people lose their minds! I hate it! HA!

    I can’t imagine being able to accomplish a 5K at this point. Snow sounds like a really good reason to put it off to the next day. I guess I should quit being so lazy. You have inspired me to get off the couch.

    Looks like a productive week! Snow has made its appearance around here too. I’ve been meaning to do Poshmark. Is it a lot of work?

      I think the hardest part of Poshmark is taking all of the photos and then uploading everything…LOL! But everything sells pretty quickly and I think it’s a safe space to buy and sell in.
