Favorite Things Friday


//home 

I had an epic HomeGoods find this week, probably because I visited 5 different locations so my odds were high. I have been looking for light and airy bar stools since I moved in 3 years ago but I refused to spend a fortune or buy anything other than what I had in mind. Then I spotted these perfect wooden & rod iron stools and almost jumped up and down in the store!! They make me grin every time I walk past them so it was money well spent in our home. Roswelle thinks they're great too!

My girlfriend Erin brought me cucumbers from her garden this week! She said her husband, Rich, was planning to use them as "baguettes" for his tuna salad and I agreed it was a great idea. We have been using cucumber slices as cracker replacements with cheese and hummus for some time now but hollowing them out and using it as bread brings the cucumber game to a whole other level.

Who knew there were critically acclaimed authors in the baby book world, but Karen Katz is killin' it! We love her books in our household, especially the Princess Baby series - I'm being totally serious!! It all started with Princess Baby, and then we added Princess Baby on the Go (to grandmothers house) and Princess Baby Night Night.  The tried & true test of a good baby book is if the parents enjoy it as well, which we do! Bright colors, cute themes, and plenty of stuffed animals, these books make a wonderful gift for any little girl.

You can get so much out of a girls night: a break, good food, some good wine if you choose, decorating inspiration and great beauty tips! I had all of that (minus the wine) this past Wednesday night.  My girlfriend Emily was so excited about her new facial cleanser that she brought it with her for all of us to try! The Cure Natural Agua Gel is fragrance free and feels like water on your face. Suddenly your dead skin will start to peel leaving a baby smooth new skin glow. The best part?..it's available on Amazon!  That's a win-win for me since I can never seem to make it to Sephora these days.
