Friday's Faves | Make Today Count

June 4, 2021


Happy first Friday in June! There is really just something special about Fridays in the summer. I always wake up feeling so inspired to have a beautiful weekend when the sun is shining. I hope this post inspires you to have an amazing weekend too, whatever that means for you! For me, that means prepping for my high school senior's graduation party (yay!), sipping wine on the patio, going out to a nice dinner and getting things done on my never-ending to-do list. Have a great weekend! 

Here's what I'm loving this week:


I love having a popsicle with my favorite wine. I call this my summer pop. :) If you haven't tried this Sauvignon Blanc from Starbourough, you will be in for a treat if you decide to give it a go. It's super fruity and has the perfect amount of crisp sweetness. It's my favorite in the summer, and all year round, really. 



If you've been reading this blog for a while, you would know that I am a huge fan of orzo pasta. (seen HERE, HERE and HERE I seriously love and crave the texture! On Tuesday, I decided to grill a bunch of veggies, make a flavorful vinaigrette and toss everything together with some orzo. BEST DECISION EVER. This dish will definitely be in heavy rotation this summer!


I've been having a moment with dresses and sandals lately! I loved rocking  this one to Happy Hour. I just adore dresses that are both comfy and cute. I never though I'd enjoy a t-shirt dress but that's what stepping out of your comfort zone gets you. Pleasant surprises. :) I just love wearing pops of pink... especially neon pink!


Run, don't walk.. go STRAIGHT to Costco...head to the freezer section. Look for the seafood. Find the TEMPURA SHRIMP and immediately add two boxes to your cart. That's all I'm gonna say about that. They are insanely good. 

And lastly, if you are looking for a new summer foundation that has the perfect sheer yet buildable coverage, look no further. This Morphe Skin Tint is pure gold. It has been so great in my warm weather makeup routine. 

 In my case, I have been dealing with some pretty awful hyperpigmentation and dermatosis darkness on my chin and neck for the past year. After changing my diet, seeing dermatologists, working with my esthetician, religiously applying sunscreen and drinking lots of water, the dark spots are getting much lighter, thank goodness! So even with my problem areas, I love that this skin tint doesn't get all over the place and actually covers what needs to be covered! :) 

Happy Friday!
