Friday Five

Posted by on March 25, 2011 in Friday Five | 2 comments

I feel like i dug myself a hole with these Friday Fives! Some weeks I have so many fun, cool things to share – and some I don’t, hence the past few weeks of silence. Oh well – I don’t have that many readers, so it’s not like people are dying from no posts! :) So – for your enjoyment…my Friday Five!

1. Wanted Shoes – oooook, I am not a huge shoe buyer, but when I buy, I like to buy in bulk! :) I was reading Adored Austin the other day (which could be a Friday Five item of it’s own…) and she was wearing the C-UTEST yellow wedges, so I had to check out where she got them. Turns out they were having a 3 for 2 sale….3 pairs of wedges for the price of 2. Yes…please. I am 5’10″ but have a weakness for wedges. So, if you are like me, check them out! I usually wear a size 10 or 11 and got 10s and they fit GREAT!!!

2. Maternity Jeans. Ok, I know I am not very pregnant (only 13.5 weeks!) and I have actually LOST 7 pounds, but jeans do NOT give when your mid-section is growing, even if no one else notices it is. There is just something about that wide, soft waistband in maternity jeans versus the button of your regular jeans tied with a hair tie and bella band…but constantly pulling it up – and lucky for us…maternity jeans are actually cute! Hello…Gap Maternity…I love you. If you are in the Atlanta area, North Point Mall has a Maternity section inside Baby Gap…praise Jesus! You can try things on and see how cute you are and actually feel pregnant and not just like a ball of squish…which I can relate to. Highly recommend splurging on a few key pieces! These are my most recent purchase and they look presh with the wedges shown above! :)

3. Clinique Airbrush Concealer – I went in a few weeks ago to get some new makeup and the lady introduced me to foundation and bronzer which was HUGE for me, but she also introduced me to this little beaut. Just a few dabs under the eye and it seriously changes your face! I don’t really have dark circles, but it brightens my entire face and makes me look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed…which is RARE for me! In fact, I went to teach my class a few weeks ago and my class told me how much better I looked and more alert and must be feeling less tired…ALERT! Still tired…just discovered the beauty of good makeup! A little foundation, bronzer and under-eye highlighter goes a LONG way…even Chris has noticed and he usually doesn’t comment on makeup!

4. Trader Joe’s Multigrain Crackers – do I hear the angels singing? Enough said. Buy them, try them. I die.

 

5. Trader Joe’s Cocoa Batons – 2 things. 1. They are filled with chocolate; 2. there are 17 in a serving…yes, 17! Usually things like this are like…4 bites for 140 cals, nope…17 baby. SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

    Maternity jeans rock! my fave was my maternity yoga pants! yoga pants are generally stretchy but the maternity ones offer more belly support and are great for post birth hospital or around house :) mine are from target, I think they were $20
