Five on Friday: 5.25.14

Hellooooo Friday!!!
My husband and I have been putting in a lot of extra hours at the hospital and life has just been a rollin'.... sorry I have been slightly neglecting my bloggity blog!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you who have left some of the sweetest comments! I love hearing from each and every one of you! Totally makes my day! :)
Welp... on to my list for Five on Friday!

one |  So, I have a question for all of you.... when it comes to comments do you reply via email or reply on the comment on your blog? I have been struggling with this because I once read that you SHOULD reply by email but to me then that looks like I neglect my comments and do not acknowledge them. I have been torn lately on what to do. Any comments, suggestions, or preferences by anyone?


two |   I love funny animal pictures on Pinterest, especially cat ones! Here are a few of my recent favorites!

three |  Last week or so I won a gift card to Flourish Boutique from Steph @ White Coat Wardrobe's blog giveaway and I finally got a chance to pick some things out a couple nights ago! It was super hard as they have so many items! I love their shop! The other night I wore their Blushing Ballerina flats that are featured on my side bar and they are SO comfy! It was my first time taking them for a spin and normally flats give me a little bit of a blister the first time I wear them but not these.
Check out their awesome site!

four | One trend I never thought I would jump on board with was camo but I recently found a "nice camo pattern" comfy tee at Target and could not resist getting it. Maybe camo is already on the way out but I am excited to mix and match it in to my wardrobe! Check back next week for some ways I have styled this trend!


five |  Less than 20 days and my husband and I will be on a beach in the Dominican for one week with a drink in our hands and good friends by our side! I CAN NOT WAIT!!! WOOO!!

Five on Friday: Week Seven

Happy Friday!
Sorry I missed last week but I am back in the game this week! 

Enjoy your weekend!

I want to try to start eating healthier and am interested in substituting some snacks or even like breakfast or lunch with a smoothie. Have you tried any smoothie recipes lately that you love?!? Any suggestions or recommendations on making them ahead of time and "storing" them? Do you use just a regular glass or do you have some type of cup, especially for on the go, that you use?
 Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! :)

 

I know I am a little late to jump on the frozen yogurt band wagon but I have lately fell in LOVE with fro-yo. There is a place really close to our house that I tried a couple of different times and did not see what all the fuss was about.  But, I have found another local place just a little bit further and it is so YUMMY!

Is it bad that I want to substitute some of my meals and just eat frozen yogurt now?!?

I recently tried these crackers and they are so good! They come in a variety of flavors but my favorite is the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar one, it tastes like a big teddy graham!

It is a great alternative to my pop-tarts that I normally turned to! ;)

For those of you who, like myself, have been in a gloomy, wintry state for the past 3-4 months... how great was it have some sunshine and near 60 degree weather recently!?!?!

Wednesday I even raked my lawn in a long sleeve shirt and jeans, it felt amazing to say the least!

Now, if only it would show up and stay that way!!

Winterize your favorite skirt!

Happy Friday eve!! In my Five on Friday post I mentioned that I had received some skirts via mail and was excited to style them. As promised here are a few ideas on how you can "winterize" your skirts!

With your favorite blazer and graphic tee

graphic tee: J. Crew // blazer: H & M // necklace: old // skirt: Old Navy  // tights: Target // 
ankle booties: Kohl's {similar here}

With your favorite sweater
