Friday Favorites!

My goodness! This week has been something else! But in a good way :)

Thank you God for this amazing life you are gifting me with every single day!

Let's get this started, my dears!

Friday Favorites

ONE

Wait. Until. You. Try. This. 

Okay, so I went to my brother's this past weekend, and he has this totally sweet set up, right on Laguna Beach! {No joke!}

He's kinda got this bachelor vibe going on out there, so I just assume that he goes out to eat every night. And while that's not completely untrue... he apparently has a knack for cookin'! Because let me tell you, I ate like a queen! 

This is one of the best meals I have ever had. So much so, that I came home right away and made it for my man. And we had it for 3 days straight. And didn't ever get tired of it. Just PERFECT!

So here you go! Owen's Chicken Fajitas!

You can just thank me now! ;)

So, I've totally been on a kick with painting my nails. {Can I even call it a 'kick' if it's been forever that I've been doing this??}

But any who... I just cannot get enough of new nail polishes, and coming up with cute combos. I just love looking down at my hands and seeing my nails done! Anyone else?!

That being said, I have some adorable nail color combos for y'all! And my secret weapon to doing my nails in no time! 

Interested? I show you it all in my Makeup Mondays: 7 Amazing Nail Color Combos!

Just a taste for ya! Head on over! I promise, you'll be running out to grab my staple colors pronto!

I was out on a Target shopping spree {oops} this past week and I found these little gems! 

I honestly love my Bath and Body Works Candles more because they fill up a room with their scent {possibly because it has 3 wicks?} But sometimes, it's so hard to justify their price tag. And I really haven't been won over by any of their scents lately. They're starting to all smell the same to me! 

So I came across these at Target, and they smell divine! I got Peach Prosecco and Sangria Sunset. These only have 2 wicks, so I really haven't been getting that whole room effect. BUT. These were only $8 a piece! And they're quite large! Just as big as the BBW ones, but taller instead of wider. 

Of course, when BBW has their sales, I'll try and stock up {especially on my Sunshine one, which is in the pic by the roses}. But it's hard to resist the price tag of the Target ones. 

Anyone have any suggestions on where to find cheap candles that smell amazing and can fill the room with the scent? :)

We had SUCH a fun time this weekend running with NRC! 

For those of y'all who don't know, my man was a college runner, and a professional runner, and now is training for some big upcoming races! 

We were looking for some great running groups that would challenge us {mainly him, because I definitely cannot challenge him in the running world!} and help us get a great work out in!

So in our search, we found the Nike Running Club! And we love it! It was so fun! 

{Horrible pics because of the shadows and bright lighting in there. But Coley is never phased by that! And neither is my man, I must say ;) }

We brought Coley with us because NRC is pretty far from home, and we couldn't justify making him stay in his crate at home for 5 hours or more. So we brought him along, and he was totally in the spotlight. But who can blame him?? HE'S FREAKIN' ADORABLE! 

{He's shaking daddy's hand here}

So even though he wasn't allowed to run on the track with us, he still had the best time being the social bug that he is! 

Let me tell y'all... I'm definitely going to be getting my running legs back with this group!

FIVE

Some time with this booger will do anyone some good! Here's some things that Coley bear and I have been up to while daddy's at work...

{Cuddles and watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Don't be fooled. He doesn't stay this way for long!}

{Loving being petted. His ears always go back when he wants to be pet!}

{Looking adorable in his bow tie! He hates wearing it... But I mean.. COME ON #AllTheHeartEyes}

And did I tell y'all what his new fave toy is??

JINGLE BELLS. 

Yep, so let me just tell you this story. 

I had a bunch of jingle bells out for Christmas Decorations, and it came to our attention that Cole was extremely intimidated by them and would do anything to get away from them. 

So, like any good parents would do, we placed them where we didn't want him to go. 

If he was trying to get behind the couch, we lined them up so he couldn't get past them. And we did this all throughout the house!

Well, now Cole sees them as a game. He pushes them around, barks at them, chases after them {like in a game of fetch}, and they're the first toy he wants to play with in the morning, even though I totally need some kind of coffee before he starts jingling those things around the house. 

So, our plan backfired on us... just a little ;) 

And just a bonus for y'all... if you need a fun idea for your breakfast tomorrow, check over here for an easy and fast recipe that will blow your socks off! And I bet you have all the ingredients in the fridge!
