Five on Friday - April 7, 2017

Hey, hey -- Friday is HERE! It's been one heck of a week and I'm so excited the weekend is here! My friend, Linda, and her daughter, Kelsey are visiting and we are going to work on some graduation things for her. I love weekends when I get to craft with friends. It's going to be a great few days!

Want to see my five for this week? Here you go ~

1. Gifted
I have been excited about this movie since the first time I saw the preview. It's opening this coming Wednesday. Anyone up for a mid-week date?!? Here's the movie info from Rotten Tomatoes, "Frank Adler (Chris Evans) is a single man raising a child prodigy - his spirited young niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) - in a coastal town in Florida. Frank's plans for a normal school life for Mary are foiled when the seven-year-old's mathematical abilities come to the attention of Frank's formidable mother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) whose plans for her granddaughter threaten to separate Frank and Mary. Octavia Spencer plays Roberta, Frank and Mary's landlady and best friend. Jenny Slate is Mary's teacher, Bonnie, a young woman whose concern for her student develops into a connection with her uncle as well."

2. All by Myself, Alone: A Novel
Are you a fan of Mary Higgins Clark? Her newest book was released this week. Check it out HERE. The "Queen of Suspense" chose to write about a glamorous cruise on a luxurious ocean liner that turns deadly in this latest mystery. Sounds like a pretty good book to have on your Kindle or in your library.

3. PBJ Smoothie Stick
A few months ago I got a PBJ Smoothie Stick in my Birchbox. Fell immediately in love with it! This super smooth stick is made with almond butter and goji berry. Per Birchbox, "The hydrating formula, rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, and beta-carotene, moisturizes and protects, so lips feel, look, and taste sweet all day long."  This little stick glides on so smoothly and has great staying power.  I just might have to get it in every color it comes in.  It's available HERE and HERE.

4.  National Zoo Lover's Day
April 8 is National Zoo Lover's Day and Eric and I are definitely a zoo-loving couple.  It might help that we have an absolutely phenomenal zoo here in St. Louis.  As a matter of fact, the St. Louis Zoo was just voted No. 1 in the nation in USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards contest, which launched in early March.  If you have ever been to the St. Louis Zoo you can totally understand how it won.  If you are ever in the area, a trip to the zoo should definitely be on your agenda.  Oh, and something else great about our zoo - there's no charge to get in.  That's right, it's FREE!

5.  My new goal....



Have a great weekend!  We are supposed to have wonderful weather here, which will make the weekend even better.  Now I'm off to began getting this weekend started!
