Friday Favorites: January 2016

Happy Friday everyone! One of my New Year Resolutions was to be more open on this blog: getting a little more personal and writing more than just outfit posts. So here we are.. Once a month (I'm going to aim for the last Friday of each month) I want to let you guys know some of my favorite things that I have bought, saw, ate, experienced, etc. It will kind of give y'all a recap of my month and some of the fun things that I've come across.



So without further ado..

ONE // Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo
This dry shampoo is an absolute life saver! I only wash my hair about 2 times a week, so having a good dry shampoo is a must! I've tried a few different types and Moroccanoil is by far the best brand I have found. I use it in "dark tones" because my hair is brown, but they also have one for you light haired gals!

TWO // Hope's Boutique
I've mentioned my love for Hope's before. But I wanted to reiterate it here! Hope's is a Georgia-based fashion boutique that I am obsessed with, and buy a majority of my clothes from! Their clothing is so cute and definitely on trend! Hope's is one of my favorite boutiques to follow on social media because they host a TON of contests & giveaways, and have a lot of sales! In the past few weeks they've had 75% off select items, and 50% off their entire site! Needless to say, my bank account is hurting thanks to them.. and I don't hate it.

THREE // BelVita Breakfast Cookies
These BelVita cookies have changed my life! (Okay that's a little dramatic, but they are amazing!) I have been eating them for breakfast literally every day on my way to work, and they are to tasty.. and did I mention that they are healthy to? I know right?! I've only tried the cinnamon brown sugar ones, but if the other flavors are as good as these, then I'm sold. Healthy cookies.. what could be better?!

FOUR // The Royals

The Royals is a show on E! that I love am OBSESSED with! It kind of reminds me of Gossip Girl, but dare I say.. it's better! It follows the lives of a fictional royal family, behind closed doors and in the public eye. It is full of secrets and scandal, and is just the best show ever! I even got my mom addicted! The season finale of season two was a few weeks ago and it was insane! I highly recommend it to anyone who misses Gossip Girl and loves teen drama tv series! Season 3 premiers in the fall so you guys have plenty of time to catch up!

FIVE // Beautycon BFF Box
I am absolutely in love with my Beautycon BFF Winter Essentials box! The #BeautyConBFF box is a seasonal subscription box, where you will receive four seasonal boxes per year! They are filled with the cutest fashion and beauty products chosen by the sweethearts at Beautycon! You can get yours at beautycon.com/bff and use coupon code BESTIE5 to save $5!

Cab and I are heading to NYC this morning for my birthday weekend (I turn 25 on Sunday eek)! Of course he left the planning to me, so my number one focus was all the places I want to eat. #judgeme. I definitely want to check out Sugar Factory and Ellen's Stardust Diner! I also want to see all of the tourist attractions: Time Square, Central Park, and obviously the World Trade Memorial and Observatory! If you have any other suggestions, feel free to send them my way! We're going to try to squeeze as much in for the short time that we are there!

Thanks so much for reading! xo
