It's Friday, Friday!

Yayyy it's Friday!  My week really just raced by.  Jeff and I are heading out to my favorite Italian restaurant tomorrow night, Roman Cucina.  Can you say carb overload!?  I literally cannot wait for a pasta and wine night.  We definitely need it.  Is that weird that I base my weekends around what I am going to eat on my cheat day?  Oh well, it's what helps me stick to my diet all week long.  I'm also going to make these coconut macaroons that Shay from Mix & Match Mama posted about earlier this week!  Coconut is my fave.   Here are five things I am currently loving!

-ONE-

Make things happen!

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I see myself doing in the future.  I'm constantly praying for God's help to find my path and guide me.  I have finally decided to take a step forward and do something that I have always wanted to do.  I am still in the very early stages of everything, but am very, very excited about it.  More details to come, but I will say that I will be utilizing my business degree as well as my passion for weddings and brides!  Any words of encouragement, ideas, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Bella Espresso Maker

I picked up this beauty from a Target run earlier this week.  I decided I am going to try to save time/money in the mornings by not hitting Starbucks so often.  This was only $39.99, and I usually spend about $20 every 2 weeks at Starbucks.  So, I am thinking that this little investment will really pay off!  I usually get an Americano, so I have been boiling the water with my teapot and making my own.  It is so quick and efficient and easy to clean.  I also picked up the Tazo Tea Chai Tea K Cups, because Chai Tea Lattes (with heavy cream instead of milk...no dairy on my diet) are my other go to.  Now I will have no reason to go.  Let's see how long I can last!

-THREE-

Target Swimsuit, duh!

I also came home from Target with this swimsuit top.  It is really more coral in color than orange.  I love mixing and matching my swimsuits, I plan on wearing this with my white bottoms. Can't beat $17.99!

-FOUR-

Yay for  a sunny weekend!! I can't wait to lay out by the pool this weekend for the first time since last summer.  This is perfect timing, because there aren't too many people out there already.  Since I'm from Bakersfield, I love the heat.  On an average summer day, the temps are 100+.  So low 70's is still a little chili for me, since my perfect summer weather is 90!

-FIVE-

I'm really trying to focus on this during lent!

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
