Five on Friday - October 20, 2017

Did someone say weekend?!?  I'm ready over here!  Fun stuff is on the agenda starting immediately at the end of my workday today, so I'm a tad bit excited to get through my work and start the merriment.

Before I do, here's my five for this week ~

1.  National Mammography Day
Did you get a mammogram this year?  There are different ages suggested to start getting mammograms, but the general rule is women around the age of 40 should start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms.  Today being National Mammography Day is an excellent reminder to make that appointment if you haven't yet.  Hey, it could save your life.  Just do it.

2. Only the Brave
We've seen the previews for this movie a couple of times in the theaters and each time Eric and I look at each other and say, "I want to see that one.".  Here's the summary from Rotten Tomatoes, "All men are created equal... then, a few become firefighters. Only the Brave, based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, is the heroic story of one unit of local firefighters that through hope, determination, sacrifice, and the drive to protect families, communities, and our country become one of the most elite firefighting teams in the country. As most of us run from danger, they run toward it--they watch over our lives, our homes, everything we hold dear, as they forge a unique brotherhood that comes into focus with one fateful fire."  Is it on your list to see?

Speaking of movies, have you heard of MoviePass? Any theater, any day, any movie. Basically, it's a card that allows you to see a movie a day at one of the over 4,000 theaters for the low monthly charge of $10 ($9.99 to be exact). I applied for my card a few weeks ago and it came in the mail last week. We used it on Saturday when we saw Victoria and Abdul and it worked like a charm! You have to be close to the theater and select your movie from the MoviePass app on your phone. Take your card in the theater and use it to pay for your ticket. That's it -- pretty simple!

4. LOC One & Done Shadow Stick
One of the MANY things I love about a girls weekend is all the girl chatter that happens.  On my recent trip to Nashville with Debbie, I noticed her amazing eye shadow.  She shared it was LOC One & Done and she got it from Birchbox.  (If you're not a member of Birchbox, I would highly recommend popping in HERE and signing up.)  So when I got home, I ordered Debbie's color, Impress Me, and Out of Your Shell just because it was so pretty.  All the colors are beautiful! Let me tell ya, I've been wearing it every day since it arrived and am LOVING it!  This stuff smoothly glides on and is still creaseless when I get home after work.  Love it!

5.  So me.......


Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm headed to a Scandal viewing party immediately after work tonight and I'm dying to see what Olivia Pope is up to.  Tomorrow Kayla and I are going to a Harry Potter tea. We made reservations months ago so we're excited that the date is finally here.  Then on Sunday we're going to Hermann for some wine tasting.  Should be an excellent weekend!  Hope you pop back in on Monday to get the recap!

  2. I'd love to get a movie pass, but I don't go to the movies enough. Then again, I wonder if this would inspire me to hit up the theater a bit more often.

    LOL @ linen rebel. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FOLD! But the fitted sheets? UGH. That is a struggle.

    You have a fun weekend lined up--enjoy!

  3. I have heard of the Movie Pass and have been curious about it! We rarely go to movies right now (that whole getting a babysitter thing and all that) but I'm thinking as my son gets older it might make sense for us. Folding is my least favorite activity, lol. I hope you have a great weekend!

  5. There are so many movies that I want to see. I want to watch Only the Brave too. I've never heard of Movie Pass, but it sounds really interesting.

  6. We used to go to the movies every single Friday of this world. But there are so few really good movies out there these days, that we have cut waaaay back. Movie Pass sounds like a good deal, though, if we went to more than one movie a month, it would pay for itself. Will have to look into it. Thanks for telling us about it. BTW, how did you like Victoria and Abdul?

  7. I just heard that statistically, it's not really a benefit to get an annual mammogram... I've never had one and am not sure if I should get one any time soon.

  8. I'm at the age where I need to start getting mammograms. I've heard of Movie Pass and considered getting it. I think it's a great deal, but not sure how much of a pain it'd be to use.
