Five on Friday - January 15, 2016

Oh boy -- here we are at Friday already.  I could really use an extra day this week.  Friday got here a little faster than I anticipated.  So today is going to be all about focusing on getting a few things wrapped up so I can head into the weekend feeling calm.  Ever have weeks like that?

Before I move full force into work mode, I want to share with you my five for this week.

1.  Alex and Ani "Path of Life" Wire Bangle
I'm in love the Alex and Ani bracelets and this one happens to be on sale right now at Nordstrom's.  Each bracelet has a meaning and this one represents strength, motivation and knowledge.  Wear this one to celebrate your willingness to travel towards life's fruitful moments.  Wouldn't this be a meaningful gift to give a friend or a lady who's graduating?!?

2.  LuMee
Have you heard about this awesome gadget?  This baby is so wonderful it deserves two photos on my blog today!  This is how Kim Kardashian looks so lovely in all her selfies!!  Here's how it works:  "Invented by a professional photographer, the LuMee case lights up a user's face with the simple push of a button. When the case is lit, the light fills in the shadows, enhancing the photo and making the subject bright and 'picture perfect'. LuMee also provides perfect lighting for video chatting, even in the dark!"  If you want this baby wrapped around your phone, click HERE to make one yours.  If gold isn't your color, they come in many more shades.

3.  Year of Yes:  How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun
Because of our love for Shonda Rhimes shows like Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal, I knew this would be a book to give my friend Linda for her birthday.  She is loving it!  I can't wait to read it myself.  Linda said she even read part of one chapter to her 8th grade class and used the message as a prompt for them to write a paper.  Here's what the Amazon review says:  "In this poignant, hilarious, and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood’s most powerful woman, the mega-talented creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder reveals how saying YES changed her life—and how it can change yours too."  If you'd like a copy, click HERE to purchase it from Amazon.

4.  $250 Paypal Cash
Still looking to win a little cash if you didn't win the big lottery jackpot this week?  I can help with that.  Me and some other lovely ladies have joined together to bring you an awesome $250 Paypal cash giveaway.  Quick -- get entered.  


5.  I can relate....


Have a wonderful weekend!  I'm going to my first ever paint party tomorrow at Painting with a Twist.  Wish me luck -- I'm not a great painter and I'll be drinking wine.  It will be questionable if you will even be able to tell what my painting is.  But then again, it's art so....I'll have pictures on Monday so we'll see what you think then.

Oh - one more thing.  My Pampered Chef virtual party ends today.  If you are in need of any Pampered Chef items, please go HERE and purchase them.  Thanks!
