Friday Favorites – The First One of February

February 5, 2016
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

Happy Friday my loves.  I don’t know about you but I’ve been counting down the days until this weekend.  I feel like the month of January was such a lull of a month.  The letdown from the holidays being over and all my projects were all done.  February is coming at me full steam ahead with tons of projects, lots of blog post ideas and I just feel refreshed.  Naturally I’m looking at blog updates, I get bored so quickly.  I have to tell myself to not play with coding at 2 in the morning, it never works out well.  What is everyone up to this weekend?  I am going to head over to the Indie Market on Saturday for all my local peeps if you want to meet up!  Let’s get right into these favorites.

Favorite Song

I love how chill this song is. Such a great vibe.  Find a Way ft Rudy (Anevo Remix) by Dirty South.

 

Favorite Recipe

Such a great way to satisfy the sweet tooth craving Cocoa Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Chickpeas recipe here.

    February 5, 2016 at 8:15 AM

    I need to get out and use my camera more! Love that one about friends… so true! So much harder when you’re an adult to meet new people. Happy Weekend!

    February 5, 2016 at 8:28 AM

    Those chick peas look so good! And I will be checking out your photo posts. Years after I’ve had it and I still have no idea how to use my camera! Have a great weekend!

  22. Amy @ The Crazy Wise Woman says

    February 5, 2016 at 8:30 AM

    Haha… I trip on my own shoes all the time, so embarrassing. I have never seen a guy at barre… how weird that must be. That Kardashian gif is too good! I am going to remember that line!

  23. Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says

    February 5, 2016 at 8:35 AM

    I love that stay humble, hustle hard print!!

  25. Ashley @ The Wandering Weekenders says

    February 5, 2016 at 8:42 AM

    Those cinnamon sugar chickpeas sound absolutely amazing, and definitely a healthy alternative to baked goods! I didn’t have a chance to read your post yesterday about ISO yet, but I love that you’re doing that series! It’s so helpful!

  26. marie says

    February 5, 2016 at 8:50 AM

    I so wish I didn’t work on Sundays so that I could just sit home and do a little bit of nothing. Totally jealous! Love that stay humble print.

  27. Nichole says

    February 5, 2016 at 8:54 AM

    Hahaha, yessss sometimes as an adult, how do we make new friends?! That gif made me laugh. Happy Friday!!

  28. Rachel Emily says

    February 5, 2016 at 9:00 AM

    Gahh why is BB Dakota always so on point! I want everything!! Again. Happy Friday, love!

  29. Kate @ Green Fashionista says

    February 5, 2016 at 9:13 AM

    Those chickpeas look delish! And LOL at the men in barre classes, they always without fail wear shorts! It reminds me of that episode on Friends where “Robert is coming out of his shorts” :-P

    February 5, 2016 at 9:29 AM

    i trip too—but more on a daily basis. glad to hear i;m not the only one. that is seriously why i never do weekend posts–it’s just netflix and annoy my dog by trying to get him to cuddle with me. ;)

  31. Caroline @ Windy City Chic says

    February 5, 2016 at 9:35 AM

    That Kardashian gif is my favorite LOL. We have ALL been there girl!!! If I lived closer to you I would come and hang out with you while Mark plays softball. :-) I hope that you have a fab weekend!

  32. Kaitlin says

    February 5, 2016 at 10:01 AM

    Ooh, checking out the Shopbop sale now! Thank you! And your funnies … ha. Seriously always the best! The Kardashians are too good …

  33. jess says

    February 5, 2016 at 10:12 AM

    Workout, recipe and sale for the win! (And of course the funnies!) Happy weekend gorgeous! xo

  34. Carly says

    February 5, 2016 at 10:19 AM

    Your gifs are killing me because our thigh sprint last night was insane. So hard! I am feeling it today!

  35. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says

    February 5, 2016 at 10:21 AM

    Sugar and chickpeas huh? I’m none too sure about that… But I’m not a fan of turning my savory snacks sugary! I just seriously want to know who HASN’T tripped going up the stairs, and why that is so much easier to do than tripping down the stairs. I’ve done it 100+ times. So. Embarrassing.

  36. Lindsay says

    February 5, 2016 at 10:33 AM

    You crack me up every week! Hope you have a great weekend and a Sunday in pj’s with Netflix :)

  37. Emily says

    February 5, 2016 at 11:06 AM

    Oh how weird, your photography blog series is MY favorite series, too!! ;) I am loving your tips! I already have a hot practice session planned for Saturday. Crazy weekend up in here.

    YES to correcting men in class! Haha, when I teach reformer I usually stand in front of the reformers (by everyone’s feet) and when they guys and laying down wearing shorts it’s like WHOA, DID NOT MEAN TO LOOK THERE.

  38. Rachel says

    February 5, 2016 at 11:09 AM

    Love that stay humble/hustle hard image. Your funnies literally have me laughing out loud! Thanks for the good chuckle! Make today work, Rachel –CubicleCouture

  39. Meghan says

    February 5, 2016 at 11:19 AM

    Kourtney Kardashian gifs are seriously the best! She has such funny quotes. But really how do adults make new friends? I am lost on that subject, haha. I hope you have a great weekend!

  40. Lily @ Beauty With Lily says

    February 5, 2016 at 11:36 AM

    Yay for Friday! First time linking up too! Kourtney is hilarious and her gifs are just the funniest!
    Your funnies was TOO funny

    Well this post was sufficiently hilarious and informative. Looking forward to checking out those butt exercises, and I can only imagine you trying to keep your composure when you have to adjust your male barre students : )

  42. Karly says

    February 5, 2016 at 12:08 PM

    Happy Friday, girlfriend! I’ve been loving your photography series – I still have to catch up on yesterday’s post, but that’s next on my to-do list. :) That Indie Market that you’re going to this weekend sounds awesome, I can’t wait to hear about it. And, duh about Sundays – all I ever do is lounge and watch Netflix. Have a great weekend!

  43. Lauren says

    February 5, 2016 at 12:11 PM

    I love all the gifs! Happy Friday, lady!

  44. Darcy says

    Love those gifs. The pants party one made me literally laugh outloud! I agree too about sundays. My blog is always like “Friday and Saturday I did all this great stuff….and sunday….happened.” :) I am always looking for a great sugar fix so I need to try that cinnamon chickpea!

    I am off today and going to the Quarter for lunch! Those chickpeas look amazing! I hear you on the making friends, although I have made some new ones lately. The hard part is finding a normal date for me! Enjoy your weekend!

    Ok, but what else is there to do on Sundays…besides brunch, that’s the only thing that will get me out of my PJs. Cocoa cinnamon sugar chickpeas….YES! I had no clue guys even came to Barre class, that’s awkward haha.

  53. Tiffany | A Touch of Grace says

    February 5, 2016 at 4:59 PM

    That last GIF…yes! Seriously, how do you?! And those chickpeas do look pretty good.

    Roasted chick peas are the best! You know thats the best when drinking alcohol (ask mark’s parents)

    My fiance recently took up running and I’ve been sending all your upbeat jogging music his way for inspiration. (; Oh I can only imagine how awkward teaching a man barre would be….. in shorts. Is it just me, or are you picturing a UPS man or worse that one guy from Reno 911? lmao.
