High Five for Friday

This may end up being my favorite weekly post. The High Five for Friday post will list five of my favorite things for the week. Just a reminder that you always have something to be thankful for.


For a year now my neighbor and I have been walking in the mornings. Four days a week at 5:30 A.M we walk a few miles in our neighborhood.  I am thankful that she motivates me to get moving, and the conversation is always good! It is a great way to start our day off on the right foot.  It feels good to have a healthy habit!




My new favorite earrings from Elisabeth Ashlie!!  Love them!!  You can find their shop on Etsy.  They have an amazing collection, and even take custom orders.  So, if you see something you like, but it sold..chances are if you ask they will be able to make a pair for you. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ElisabethAshlie




My January Birchbox.  My love!  Words cannot express how excited I was to get this little gem in the mail.  Birchbox is basically like a monthly subscription; similar to a magazine, but instead of a mag you get a box full of high-end products.  It is only $10.00 a month.  Ahhmazing! I cancelled all the magazine scripts that ended up untouched in my recycle basket, so I could justify this each month.  If you get something you don't like for yourself then put it in a basket in your guest bathroom, or pass it on to a friend or neighbor.  I will dedicate a blog just for my monthly Birchbox, so watch for that soon.  Meanwhile, check out their website.   Use this direct link from my own Birchbox account to sign youself up.  http://www.birchbox.com/?raf=kd53g 




 This is my polish of the week.  I got it at Walgreen's for less than $2.00.  Can you believe it?  It is a beautiful color that goes well with anything.  Believe it or not, I did not get what I paid for. It is actually a strong polish.  The color is Vacation Time.  We all need a little vacation time, right!





Anyone that knows me knows I habitually apply gloss, or chap stick every ten minutes or so.  This stuff is the bomb diggity! Apply this renewal therapy before bed, and you will wake up with baby soft lips.  My son gets dry, cracked lips in the winter time, and this stuff has been a miracle worker for him.  Try it...trust me!!  I bought it for $4.09 plus tax at Target. 



Well, that's it for my first ever High Five for Friday.  Have a great weekend!

Carrie
