Happy Friday! It’s that time again; linking up with Andrea, etc. right here.
Here are some of my favorites from the week. I hope you had many, too!
After a dreary weekend, we have had some gorgeous sun! I met my friend Victoria at River House and we had a cocktail overlooking the river.
I had sangria.
They give you complimentary cornbread in a little skillet.
This is brie; I don’t like nuts so I asked for the almonds on the side. I love peanuts and pistachios but that is it!
It was great to enjoy some sun and catch up.
I have been enjoying low carb tortilla breakfast burritos this week. This time I added a bit of leftover baked potato – cut a bit of it into diced potatoes. It also has one egg and a very tiny amount of Trader Joe’s light shredded Mexican blend cheese.
I had a library pick up and I browsed the new release shelf while I was there; I can’t believe I found this! I had requested it but I was way down on the wait list. The Reese Witherspoon book picks seem to all be quite good. I cannot put this down – The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave. I have been sitting outside in the afternoons and even after dinner. Told you I am a fair weather reader!
I have two brands that I think are pretty dependable on Amazon – Amazon Essentials and Daily Ritual. I got a two pack of t-shirts to wear under kimonos. These are very lightweight and a really nice material but a bit clingy so I may not be able to wear them with all of my kimonos.
And, this Daily Ritual is not clingy and it is the best material! I want more! It is a very thick material. I bought the pink and it is a gorgeous color.
You know how you always need just basic t-shirts for summer? You all have any recommendations? I think for what I am looking for this may be my holy grail.
Melanie Shankle of Big Mama blog and Big Boo podcast never steers me wrong with her recommendations. I ordered this Old Spice Timber for me and I love it. It isn’t super masculine, but a nice smell.
This is what it looks like. I think my Dad used this when I was little – not this scent but I feel like he had a blue Old Spice deoderant. So, it is a bit sweet and nostalgic for me.
What a random Friday Favorites! I don’t have much this week.
What were your favorites? I would love to hear!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Just requested that book from my library for home delivery – I need a good book! I love those Amazon tee shirts in the 2 pack; they really are good!
Have a fun weekend!

The potato makes it a bit more filling!

I recently switched to using Old Spice Fiji deodorant. Crazy how most women’s deodorant is made with aluminum and most men’s is not. And it is cheaper–for more! AHHH…the illusive t-shirt. If you find the perfect one–I need to know! I can never find one that I like. Too thin, too clingy, too thick, too loose, got to be a v neck, can’t be “woman shaped” but not boxy. You get it? LOL

I will have to smell the Fiji! Oh yeah, no aluminum was another good thing for me! Pink tax, right? It’s not fair!
So true – maybe you should try the Daily Ritual. It’s pretty good!

I am loving this t shirt this summer. The fabric is soft but not too thin. It has enough shape to not be boxy and drapes nicely. It is long enough to cover things but is not tunic length. I wasn’t brave enough to try white but have it in 4 colors. They have regular size too, plus size is just what I bought. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Terra-Sky-Women-s-Plus-Size-Short-Sleeve-V-Neck-T-Shirt/125005592

That looks like quite a good one! I will check it out and thank you! White tees are a whole other ball game, right?

I ordered that book from the library! Look forward to it!
I agree: basic t-shirts are a must, works with everything! I always buy mine from h&m, they have a great quality at a bargain price (recommendation: I often buy mine from the mens’ department).
Another favorite is the tv-show Masked singer, I saw that you have an American one too, it’s unexpectedly entertaining!

Yay! I hope you like it! I never shop there. I am afraid men’s would make me look more boxy!
I have never watched that – not super into all the million singing and talent shows we have!

I love those Amazon essentials t-shirts and tanks. Sometimes I size up for a looser fit and have been pleased with that. Your sangria looks delicious!! Have a great weekend!

They really are good! I need more of the tanks because I wear them to bed. It was delicious! You too!
