Friday Favorites – The Last in February

February 26, 2016
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

Happy Friday my loves.  The week back from a vacation is always crazy for me especially when your server goes down for 4 hours, thank you Go Daddy.  If you have a second, yesterdays post was a great how to read for how to work with brands for your blog.  I hope you find it informative!  Okay, housekeeping out of the way.  I hope everyone had a great week.  I am totally looking forward to this weekend, the weather should hopefully be nice so I’m hoping to get to the Farmers Market and other outdoorsy events!  Let’s get right into the favorites from the week!

Cakebread Winery back

 

Favorite Song

This song makes me want to sip a glass of champagne sitting in a rooftop bar right as the sun is setting.  Too specific?  Hahaha just listen to the song, it will totally make sense.  Tritonal – “Blackout”.

 

Favorite Recipe

Bathing suit season will be here sooner than you know it in Florida.  Therefore, I have been trying to cut back on carbs at night and my veggie spiralizer has been in the rotation.  Love this 10 recipe pin here.

Favorite Workout

This is totally doable!  Print it out and get at it!

Favorite Purchase

I have Spring on my mind.  I just ordered this clutch, I have a feeling it is going to be the new must have blogger piece.  I mean the colors right?  It’s just so fun!  Also, in love with this dress and so affordable!

Favorite Funnies

Every single night in my household, seriously we cheers with forks

Walking into a patient room, to a mom that I used to go with in my 20’s, who know has a kid

When you hit that Instagram/Facebook algorithm just right and your post gets a ton of likes

The price of everything in California

Having a fashion show with your girlfriends when you get home after an epic shopping spree

When you order the nights special instead of going with your trusted favorite

Finally, sitting down to a restaurant at the exact time the happy hour drinks and food starts

    So feel you on the server issues that is so frustrating! I am looking forward to a nice glass of wine after work to cheers to all those fun blog tweaks I had to deal with this week:)

    Zoodles are the best. I was really into them last summer since zucchini is one of my favorite things to make. Which reminds me to order a new spiraler since I broke my old one (Opps!)

    Obsessing over that bright pink pencil skirt! And I hear ya on the cost of everything in California, it’s just as bad in Connecticut. At least Cali is beautiful so they have an excuse lol. Happy Friday <3

    We’ve been obsessing over our spiralizer too! We made an awesome zoodle and bolognese sauce the other night, and I’m so obsessed! I could eat it all the time! That last meme with Lady Gaga is so funny and so true! Happy hours are the best! I hope you have a great Friday!

  19. Caroline @ Windy City Chic says

    Love that beautiful photo of you in Napa! My sister actually lives in a part of California that is pretty inexpensive too. Shocking I know!! haha. Love that RM clutch and that floral dress too. Oh and of course all of the gifs. :-) I hope that you have an amazing weekend! :-)

    That first picture is everything! Thanks for sharing that workout too – just what I needed! Have a great weekend gorgeous!

  21. Meg says

    February 26, 2016 at 9:39 AM

    I am going to have to try that ab challenge. I need more exercises to diversify my workout. So jealous of your trip looks like you had fun!!

    “When you hit that Instagram/Facebook algorithm just right and your post gets a ton of likes”…I just laughed out loud at work haha have a great weekend XO

  23. Emily says

    February 26, 2016 at 10:13 AM

    Haha, how much can it cost? 10 dollars?

    YES. California prices are nutso. God dang you, California, because your beautiful scenery kind makes up for it…maybe…

  24. Nichole says

    February 26, 2016 at 10:18 AM

    Hahaha, I feel like if we get to enjoy happy hour specials with ten minutes to spare, I am happy. Jason works in St. Pete and it takes him forever to get home – maybe I should go to him more often, lol.

  25. Jenn says

    February 26, 2016 at 10:18 AM

    I really need a veggetti! I had some edamame pasta at Costco the other day (those samples get me every time) and it was seriously so good. Which has me thinking that I’ll really love some veggie noodles! Will be checking out those recipes!

  26. Missy@My Shitty Kitchen says

    February 26, 2016 at 10:31 AM

    My spiralizer is on heavy rotation as well. Oh yes to that happy hour feeling. We did that yesterday, happy hour started at three and we sat down right then. Beautiful California pics! I am doing the Farmer’s market as well this weekend, cannot wait! Happy Friday!

  27. Lily @ Beauty With Lily says

    February 26, 2016 at 11:29 AM

    Seriously, your funnies are always hilarious!! I will have to give that workout a try…I don’t think I can work my way up to 90 situps though…

  28. Tricia Coniglio says

    February 26, 2016 at 11:44 AM

    I just decided this morning that I need to lighten up the carbs at night. Decision is key because I’d been *thinking* about it for a couple weeks! Fork cheers?! hahaha! I haven’t tried it but maybe, if I time happy hour just right, I’ll try it.

  29. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says

    February 26, 2016 at 12:19 PM

    Gorgeous photo of you in Napa! You can’t beat that scenery….I need that abs workout in my life asap and that last white lace dress is to die for!!

    I’m loving your favorites, Amanda! You look beautiful in the first photo, btw :) I’m crushing on that brown tassel purse, as well as pink pencil skirt, such awesome picks! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you’re having a great day so far, beauty; Happy Friday!

    That veggie noodle bowl looks good. I’ve only tried zoodles so far; maybe I should venture out to other veggies.
    Hope you’re able to get caught up on life this weekend lady!

    That picture of you in front of the vineyard is AMAZING! Loved your post yesterday (as you know) and featured it today too on my favorites – I’m sure it will help a lot of bloggers out there! Yay for ordering the clutch, it’s so cute! Have a great weekend!

    Tritonal is awesome live, we just saw them a couple weeks ago. There new song debuted today, “this is love” is definitely up your alley!

  36. Sara says

    February 27, 2016 at 8:58 PM

    That striped dress would look AMAZING on you!! It reminds me of a Kate Spade one I’m currently looking at… except the Kate dress doesn’t have as cute of a back!!

  37. Amy @ Getz Girl on Fire says

    February 27, 2016 at 9:55 PM

    Love that song . . . but I usually like your music! And spiraling all the veggies is fun – I pinned that one for later! Love all the Friday funnies . . . have a great weekend!
