Five on Friday - October 18, 2019

Happy Friday!  For the last several weeks, I feel like I've been chasing my tail so today I'm taking a vacation day.  On the agenda are several me things and I can't wait to get started!  First up (right after I get this blog published) is a hot stone message.  Yes, I'm excited!  Then I'm going to do a little retail therapy.  So let's get this day going!  Here's my five ~

1.  National Mammography Day
Okay girl friends - have you had your annual mammogram?  If not, what are you waiting for!?!  Let today serve as a reminder to get your appointment scheduled and encourage all your friends to do the same.  Early detection saves lives.  Just do it!

NATIONAL MAMMOGRAPHY DAY – Third Friday in October

2.  Pumpkin Rolls from Trader Joe's
With pumpkin season in full force, now is the perfect time to indulge in some pumpkin rolls from Trader Joe's.  I'm going to have to make a trip to pick up this seasonal item because now that I've seen the picture they are all I can think about!  The package comes with five ready-for-the-oven rolls and pumpkin spice icing.  Can you imagine munching on these Thanksgiving morning.  Or Sunday.  I'm going to load up before they disappear.

Were you one of the millions that read and loved Olive Kitteridge?  Well, guess what - Olive Again hit the stands this week and is waiting for you to pick up your copy.  Here's the summary from Amazon ~
Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,” and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire moments of transcendent grace.
                               

4.  Swing Dress from Walmart
Guys - Walmart is really bringing it this year with their Time and Tru items.  I've already added a few of their flats to my closet this year, but last week I ordered a couple swing dresses.  Love them!  This 3/4 sleeve swing dress can easily go from work to evening.  My favorite aspect is the pockets!  Oh wait, my favorite part might be the price - $12.96.  Get it quick because they are selling out fast.  Click HERE for yours.  To complete the outfit, I added a necklace from Amazon (HERE).


5.  Typical day...

Thanks for popping in today.  Hope you have a great weekend.  I'm headed to Kansas City for a Halloween party and some fun with friends.  Next week I'll be sharing more of our Halloween decorations.  If you missed our three-tier stand all decorated for the holiday, you can catch it HERE.  See you next week!

  3. This is the third (or 4th?) item I've seen today on blogs that makes me want to go to Trader Joes. We don't have one locally though. :( I have a doctor's appointment coming up next month and I think there is one only 10-15 minutes away from the office. That might be my "treat" for afterwards-- stocking up on my Trader Joe's favorites.

  4. Walmart items arent bad I've noticed the past year or 2. I use their flats also and some of their dresses too.

  5. I need to find me some dresses like that - easy, but tasteful and they look so darn comfortable. Must check Walmart on the weekend to see if there's anything that piques my interest.

    Hope you're having a great week, Penny. :)
