Happy Friday! This week has been way too jam packed. I am looking forward to this weekend, getting some relaxing in and spending time with Mark. The weather has been so gorgeous in Florida lately, it has been making it impossible to want to do any work inside. Remember when it was nice out and you would always try to beg your teacher for “class outside?!?” I think it only worked once…. Let’s get right into these favorites!
Favorite Song
Feel good Friday tunes for you Kygo – Stay ft Maty Noyes. Windows down and hair flying to this one.
Favorite Recipe
Easy and filling dinner, Taco stuffed sweet potatoes. Made these for dinner during the week and are man approved. I use Fage greek yogurt for sour cream sub, tons of protein and no fat. Plus, the swap was not noticed….Pin from original here.
Favorite Workout
Awesome round up of moves you might see in a Pure Barre class. My only suggestion would be to hold onto a counter top or sturdy surface when doing the thigh exercises. Also, the second thigh she demonstrates, you don’t have to get your leg that high (although it’s majorly impressive and she’s not holding on!) but it’s more important to keep your leg straight then worrying about how high. Focus all the moment from the muscle you are moving, small tiny movements to feel that burn. Check it here.
Favorite Purchase
Everything in this under $50 post but especially this swim coverup and these flats that are insanely comfy.
Favorite Funnies
Dying laughing over this. Seriously everyone has had that upstairs neighbor right?
When someone asks me my opinion about the current affairs of the Presidential candidates
When your friend tries to excuse herself to go to the bathroom at a work function
Sitting down to brunch and trying to decide betweens Eggs Benedict or a burger
The joy when your brunch mate tells you lets just order both and share
Every single piece of clothing on Spring shopping guides
My exact thoughts on a Friday at 5pm
Now it’s your turn, stop by and tell me your favorites from the week! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
Meg says
One of these days I am legit going to try your workout videos. They always look amazing and then I just forget as the week gets busy. But boy do I need this one! Also, loving that fringe bag and those maxi dresses. So cute!

Erin @ TexErin-in-SydneyLand says
Those sweet potatoes look delish! And, that fringed handbag is SO fun!!
Kaelene @ Unlocking Kiki says
That is my upstairs neighbor. When I first saw this video I couldn’t stop laughing, I swear my neighbors try their hardest to be as loud as possible it really is impressive the noise they make.
Christina says
Taco stuffed sweet potatoes – how delicious! I’m also looking forward to a relaxing weekend and getting outside!

haha… I have the same GIF for the same reason – this selection of candidates this year. Lord, help us.
I LOVE me some Fage in place of sour cream. Totally cant tell the difference!
I so am trying the meat free version of tacos in sweet potatoes this weekend. I’ll use black beans instead!!!
Andi says
Hahaha your funnies are the best! :)
Nadine says
The burger Amanda, always get the burger!!! Hahaha!!! Love all the spring looks right now!!! And I made the stuffed taco potatoes this week too!! I have been subbing greek yogurt for sour cream for Chris for years before he ever noticed lol. He caught me one day spooning some on and was like you grabbed the wrong container. I was like uhhh no I didn’t its the same stuff we have used for the last year hehehehehehehe. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!
Olya @ The Siberian American says
Those sweet potatoes look amazing! Laughed so hard at the upstairs neighbor. So true!
Jaelan says
I am 100% making those sweet potatoes this weekend! I have a huge meal prep coming up. Happy Friday!
Lindsay says
This post is filled with so much goodness, I don’t know where to begin! How about those sweet potato filled tacos?? Can’t wait to try this, and after, I’ll check out that barre video.
Brittany @ PerpetuallyDaydreaming says
Those sweet potatoes look yummy! Everyone’s spring wishlist’s are getting me in trouble!! Have a great weekend, girl!
Kate @ Green Fashionista says
The weather has been absolute perfection lately, and I intend to spend as much of it outside as possible this weekend! And man I do not miss apartment living…. I had upstairs neighbors like that. It was a complete nightmare! That’s seriously what I pictured them doing *oy*! Happy Friday <3

Lily @ Beauty With Lily says
We had turkey taco salad last night, it was so yummy…and these sweet potatoes look so good too! Might have to give them a try! Happy weekend!
Jessie @ The Acquired Sass says
So luckily, I guess, I moved a while back, so no crazy upstairs neighbors. But seriously, that video is pretty much spot on.
Also, that Parks & Rec meme, yup. 5PM on the DOT I am out o’ here. Don’t ask me for anything. At all. Haha
Caroline @ Windy City Chic says
That last gif!! LOL!!! That collage of clothes.. Yes to all of it. Our neighbors upstairs actually sent Chris that video a few months ago. After he had told them that we can hear them all of the time. The guy is like the heaviest walker and sometimes it sounds like they are dropping cement blocks. Anyway… have a great day today and a fab weekend!! :-)
Kaitlin says
That presidential funny, LOL. Seriously the whole thing feels like an SNL skit!!! Have a great weekend!
Marie says
Love sweet potatoes! That last meme is hilarious. I go crazy when someone calls my office at 5 of 5 on Friday. It’s like are you serious? Or when people come into the store at 5 to close and grab 20 dresses to try on. The worse thing is they leave the fitting room a mess and NEVER buy anything. I once had someone make me stay an hour plus after close because she just needed a “dress” Guess, what she bought nothing! I wanted to scream.
Meg Taylor says
Love that song!! Perfect for the Friday work day :) Also, those stuffed sweet potatoes look soooo good. My husband would totally be on board :) Have a great weekend!

Tricia Coniglio says
The kid on the wedding dress! Sometimes I want to just pretend I haven’t grown up and don’t know any better than to do something like that… and JUST do it.
The sweet potato looks pretty amazing and I could definitely eat that. Maybe TODAY.
Missy@My Shitty Kitchen says
Holy cow those sweet potatoes look great! I will add those to my to make list. Enjoy your relaxing weekend. I have been going nonstop and am looking forward to one of those someday!
Shelby | Recent Somethings says
Hahah come 5:00, it’s too late for work requests; cheers to that! Oh how I have missed your funnies round-ups. Have the best weekend! And thank you for an awesome taco alternative!
Kiki - According to Kiki says

Bahaha. Love those GIF’s. Perfection. That stuffed sweet tater recipe sounds so odd and so delicious! Gosh, that workout makes my thighs burn just watching it! I love it because I could do those pregnant as well! Awesome!
Zelle says
The hover seat might be my least favorite PB thigh ever – we did it last night. I die every time. Hope you have a fab weekend!

Mmmmm, love that recipe idea! I love to have a handful of simple recipes that I can throw together in a pinch… And I LOVE how healthy it is!! I’m on a mission to get this body back in shape, ha! Dang babies! At least he was worth all this hard work to get back to where I was ;)
Also checking out that workout! Hope you had a great weekend!

Omg that workout video kills me because she gets her legs so high. I could only DREAM of such flexibility, but I love it!
Amy @ Getz Girl on Fire says
Oh, another new song for me! I love Kygo’s “Stole the Show” too! I love the sweet potato idea but my husband is not fan! He’s a sucka – total meat and white potato guy! And I love the gifs at the end – giggles!
