Friday Favorites – One Week Countdown

February 13, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.
Happy Friday my loves!!   In exactly one week I will be getting ready to walk down the stairs to marry Mark!!!  I seriously cannot believe this final countdown is on.  Let’s get right into it!



Favorite Song
This song probably gets played 2-3 times during a run such a great tempo beat.  Calvin Harris ft Ellie Goulding Outside.


Favorite Recipe
Be careful.  This could be consumed in an entire sitting…..by yourself.  Stir Fried Singapore Noodles with Garlic Ginger Sauce full recipe here.

Favorite Workout

Top 10 moves for thinner thighs.  This is such a good roundup of exercises total burners!


Favorite Purchase

This long sleeved romper looks like a total $300 shopbop buy and it was $25.  The fit is amazing and I love the pattern and sleeves on it.  Can be worn with black tights and booties or with a skinny gold belt and sky high heels in the Warmer months.  Obsessed.

Favorite Funnies
Is this terrible of me?
Straight truth.  Mine is my pair from freshman year in college.
I miss the days when someone else was in charge of my hair
Walking behind all the snowbirds who have flocked down here and are clogging up my Costco and driving lanes
When Mark came home from softball last night early while I was watching Gilmore girls and drinking wine (I mean I finally got my apple tv turned back on!)
How I felt this entire last work week before I’m off for the Wedding
It’s Friday dance it out
What are your favorites from the week?  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!  I have my final fitting tomorrow!!!!  I am so exited for this final countdown!  xoxoxo

    Yay only one week to go!!! Love it. Those stir fry singapore noodles look great. I havent seen gluten free singapore noodles but when I find that I will be on it. And I love the funnies. I do take pleasure in the fact that people MUCH younger look older than I am. Being short helps haha

Loveee that song, it’s on constant repeat! And I totally miss the days when someone else was in charge of my hair. Good luck at your final fitting tomorrow!!

    I actually woke up thinking “Amanda’s getting married in a week!”….so that is either creepy to you or exciting lol
    Enjoy this week (and especially this weekend). It’ll be filled with so much excitement, family, and love :) Can’t wait to see everything!
    P.S. I laughed at your pins…the slide was probably my favorite (and no it’s not wrong to take comfort with younger people looking older! that’s always ok haha)
    Have a great weekend, sweet friend!! :)

    The jeans ecard is the big winner for today. On my blog I complained how I’m finally fitting in a pre-prednisone jeans, only to have my rheumatologist quadruple my dose yesterday. Womp womp.
    I can’t believe you have one week. Everything’s done, ENJOY!

    February 13, 2015 at 1:07 PM

    Happy Friday gurlie, enjoy this last week!

    I love that Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding song too, and my world was rocked yesterday when I found out that Ellie is who Ed Sheerhan is singing about in his song “Don’t”. Mind Blown.

    haha everyone has those jeans or pants that helps you figure out when you need to lose some weight. for me, it’s a pair of old guess hip hugger jeans circa 1993. i tossed all of my old clothes out but kept that one and it was the best feeling when i could finally get back into them!

  23. Stacy G says

    February 13, 2015 at 1:39 PM

    I can not even believe it is a week before the wedding!!! That romper is to die and the gifs are too funny. The Taylor Swift thing the story of my life lol. I am never alone . xoxo Have the best weekend! Even though next weekend will really be your best weekend! ;)

    I cannot believe the wedding is a week away, hooray! I dropped a little something in the mail for you and Mark yesterday, so hopefully it gets to you in the next few days. I’ve been all about thigh workouts lately, so that definitely is coming to the gym with me today, and that romper! Looking into that, too. Have a great weekend!

  42. Ashley says

    February 13, 2015 at 3:16 PM

Gah, what does that say about me? I already exercised today so let’s blame it on that! And I absolutely LOVE Friday funnies . . . keep them coming! Happy weekending to you!
