Friday Five No. 71

This post contains affiliate links.

Hey hey and happy Friday!! I don’t know about your week but it’s been insane over here! The weather has gone from lows in the 20’s to highs in the 70’s, I have been getting all of my Black Friday orders in (YAY!!!), I have been to a couple of super fun blog events, I go to see two of my sweet nieces and I only had to work one night this week so far! YASSSSSSS!!!

So since it’s finally Friday you know what that means…it’s time for the Friday Five!! In case you forgot I reserve Fridays on the blog for talking about five random things. It’s a post I really like to write because it’s a weekly thing and it’s always different! Occasionally there is a theme but most days, like today, it’s completely random.

Enough talking about it, let’s get to it!! So here we go for this week’s Friday Five…

ONE. When I went to Revive the other day to get my IV Therapy I posted a pic of these shoes on my Instagram stories and got soooo many questions about them! First things first, I have been on the lookout for a pair of black suede loafers/drivers for a few years now and finally found a pair that both look cute and feel super comfy! They are currently on sale at both Nordstrom and Amazon and they run true to size so if you have been looking for a cute pair of black suede loafers you have to try these!!

TWO. I went to dinner with my friend Cameron the other night at Newk’s Eatery in Conway. If you know me then you know I am Newk’s obsessed!!! I love their sandwiches, soups, salads, pizza, basically everything on the menu…HA! I also love that you can either dine in, pick it up or swing by and shop their grab and go section. I can’t tell you how many times I run by Newk’s on my way to work because the food is amazing, the price point is great and the service is outstanding.

So the super amazing people of Newk’s invited me to check out their new location in Conway and so I invited my friend Cameron and we dined in. I love dining in at Newk’s because it’s super clean, the atmosphere is great and you never feel rushed. I ordered one of my favorite sandwiches, the Shrimp Po’boy and got a side of Lobster and Crab Bisque.  The Shrimp Po’boy legit has a dozen boiled shrimp on it and the bread is always perfectly crusty (trust me when I say that crusty is a good thing here). I am also obsessed with all of Newk’s soups and one of my favorites, the Lobster and Crab Bisque, was on the menu for that night. Also- this is just a side of soup and it’s huge!!

One more thing I love about Newk’s is the “Roundtable“. The Roundtable is literally a large round table full of yummy freebies you can get with any meal you order at Newk’s whether you are dining in or picking up! My favorite things on the Roundtable are the pepperoncinis, breadsticks, roasted garlic and the bread and butter pickles. YUM!!

We had a fantastic meal and had a great time just catching up over dinner so thank you Newk’s for inviting us to dine with you!!

THREE. I need a new show to binge!! If you have any Netflix or Amazon Prime recommendations send them my way!!!

FOUR. I still have a few things left in my Poshmark closet so be sure and check it out before it’s all gone!!

FIVE. I know I haven’t talked about it in a hot minute but I’m still profiling!! By that I mean I am still on my Profile by Sanford program and I’m still trucking along!! I’m down about 23 lbs (I’ve been up and down these past couple of weeks….I have zero willpower when I travel, ugh) and I am obsessed with their newest shake flavor, Gingerbread!! I love mixing it with a buttery caramel k-cup and calling it a Gingerbread Latte! HA! I plan on keeping it up through the holidays and seeing if I can lose weight instead of gaining this year!! Join me if you want…we can do it together!!!

I hope you have a super fabulous Friday and an even better weekend!!!

    We don’t have one of these restaurants where we live unfortunately. If I ever get a chance to to to one I certainly will.

    I’m loving the loafers – they are so cute and I wish there was a restaurant like that around here. I love a good po’ boy and the soup looks amazing. I somehow missed the IV therapy post so I jumped over there and read it too. Very interesting!

    Yum, that food looks tasty!

    Our weather has been crazy too. I’m in San Antonio and it’s been chilly, but today it’ll be 77.

    For Netflix, we really enjoy Making a Murderer and House of Cards.

    I’m in SC and we have had the same crazy swing in weather. Yesterday is was 29 and this weekend will be 75. I am the worst when it comes to picking things to watch on Netflix. Let us know what you decide to binge watch.

    I have never heard of that restaurant but it sounds like a great place to go. I don’t think they have one close to where I live but if they do I think I might go there for dinner. It sounds delicious.

    I have been too busy to watch TV, however, I do love the Palm Springs house series. First, I love mid century modern and second the couple that works together are so sweet!
