Friday Favorites – Wedding Events Going Down
November 7, 2014My little sister in my sorority is flying in tonight and I can’t wait to spend the weekend with her. I think I am going to recruit her for the Barre video……she will be perfect for it! Throwback Gainesville pictures.
Let’s get right into these Friday Favorites!
Favorite Song
I heard this on the way home from work the other day. It was a crappy day and then I got stuck in traffic even thought it was very late at night. This song came on and I instantly liked it. I really love songs that build and then just take off. This is one of them. Definitely had some hand beats on my steering wheel. I guarantee this is going to be the next song. Just hope it doesn’t get overplayed out too quickly! Imagine Dragons – “I Bet My Life”.
Favorite Recipe
One dish wonders. Trying to sass up quinoa in as many ways possible in my household. This one passed the test. Full recipe here. Please make sure to pin from the original.
Favorite Workout
Sometimes this proves tricky with my wood floors but it just makes me work harder. Make sure to pin from the original here.
Favorite Purchase
Remember this scarf? It is finally online. Seriously get it. It’s affordable, super soft and kept me incredibly warm when I was up north. It has the perfect drape and length. I pretty much lived in it when I was up there. I have it in the Ecru color but kind of want the ballet pink one now.
Favorite Funnies
The struggle is real…..every time I go to Barre
Especially when you find one that has magically been hidden in trunk for who knows who long….
Andrea @ The Pineapple Cake says
Yay for bridal showers and all things girly!! Have fun this weekend!
I just about died watching that girl fly off her ball and into the wall. That is something that would happen to me I just know it.
Jessica says
Enjoy your weekend! I love the funnies, I would be the one to accidentally knock over the tv cart and then ruin everyone’s day because they don’t get to watch a movie in class! Happy Friday!
Jess says
I have stopped myself soo many times in the kitchen from doing something stupid. I don’t know why sometimes I feel the need to stand on the counter to reach things, ’cause that’s always a good idea.
Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says
How exciting for your shower. Hope you have a blast. What was she thinking with the ball. Oh boy. The TV cart was the best thing in high school.
Pamela {Sequins and Sea Breezes} says
Hope you have an amazing time this weekend! I woke up this morning with a sore throat so I’m just hoping I don’t get sick! All of your funnies are perfect! Definitely so true about the hair tie thing! And loving that Imagine Dragons song!! Happy Friday girlie!
<3, Pamela

I totally do the Kim face when it comes to hair bands that don’t wrap just right… & I really cry when they pop when I try to twist them one more time.#SNAP

Hello new song to listen to on repeat! I heard the song the other day on sirius and I liked it to. Now I just need to go read the lyrics and play it over and over and over and drive everyone crazy.
Shelby / Recent Somethings says
There is always so much goodness, but by the time I get to the gifs I am overcome with hysterics and forget some things I need to comment on. LOVE the KK hair tye meme – just saw it yesterday for the first time. Holy jazz hands, shouldn’t have done it bahah. Have so much fun with your company in town (and that cute scarf!).
Caitlin Elizabeth says

Kasey Lynne says
Hahah is that lady for real in that video? I want to think that she’s playing along with him since it’s a joke, but he’s SUPER irritating so maybe not!
alyssa says
I’m sorry you had a rough week! but it sounds like this weekend is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to hear all about it!!
Meghan @ Southern Belle Secrets says
Ahhhh the wedding is getting so close! I’m so excited for you- plus who doesn’t love a good bridal shower? It’s so fun to live vicariously through your wedding. Also exercise balls are fantastic but so, so deadly and I cringe when I look at how people misuse them and get hurt.
xoxo,
Meghan
Kristen says

I’m sure you’re going to have an amazing time at your wedding shower!! That tupperware is so me! I’m so guilty of wanting to buy new tupperware when I found an old in the fridge and I’m not sure what’s in there!
Angie@Chasingmyhalo says
Dang it I missed the link up deadline! I hope you have a wonderful time at your shower this weekend and that you share some pics! Also that last video was so awkward to watch…not sure how that anchor kept a straight face the whole time! lol.
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says
Happy bridal shower to you! How exciting – I’m sure it will be beautiful and a great time for you! I’m proud that you haven’t looked at your registry … I tried to have self-restraint with that throughout my wedding, but Ryan insisted that he look every two hours, so he kind of ruined it! Ha! I love Imagine Dragons, so I will need to listen to that song as soon as I’m done writing this. Happy Saturday!
Julie @ Just the Joy's says
Yay for bridal shower weekend!!!! I can’t wait to see pictures! I hope you get spoiled because you deserve it! :) I love that scarf! Looks so comfy! And that enchilada bake… yummmm!
