Five on Friday - May 2, 2025

Happy Friday! I took a vacation day today from work so I could catch up on a few things. My list is long so I'm going to share my Five on Friday and get to it ~

2. Detach

I heard the author of Detach, Bob Rosen, on a recent episode of the Live Happy Now podcast and was immediately interested in getting the book!  Does it sound like it could be helpful in your life? 

Our lives are guided by our attachments. When they’re healthy, they offer us security, pleasure, and validation. But for many of us, something has gone awry. We’re distracted and sabotaged by these attachments, like control, perfection, or success, which morph into internal conversations that undermine our best selves—ultimately inhibiting our ability to live a full, happy life.

The antidote to the poison of unhealthy attachments? Trading them in for positive aspirations.

Rooted in a blend of Western and Eastern psychology, supported by research, and told through the stories of real people from all walks of life who have overcome their own self-sabotage, Detach walks readers through the ten unhealthy attachments many of us carry, as well as the ten positive aspirations we can use to combat each one of them. Equipped with newfound self-awareness, readers will learn to:
     - Improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life
     - Experience the freedom that accompanies reaching one’s full potential
     - Get rid of their baggage to fully embrace an abundant, meaningful life
     - Trade disappointments for joy, worries for peace, and fear for love

Detach is your personal guide for life-altering change, offering a chance to reflect on how you might be standing in the way of your own success—as well as the tools you need to overcome your anxiety and rewrite your story.

3.  Another Simple Favor

Ohhhh - this Prime Video movie looks so good!  And two of my favorite actresses, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, are starring in it!  Another Simple Favor streams started yesterday (May 1) and I hope we can carve out some time to watch it this weekend.  Here's the summary ~

Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively reunite for this sequel to their 2018 comedic thriller Simple Favor. This time, the setting is the beautiful Italian island of Capri, where Lively’s Emily is getting married to a wealthy businessman after her release from prison. Naturally, the guests include crime-solving mommy blogger Stephanie (Kendrick) — who won’t get much time for canapes, since the nuptials include a new bouquet of murder and double-crosses.

4.  Silky Secret Hypochlorous Acid Spray

Looking for an easy way to clean your makeup brushes? Look no further than Silky Secret Hypochlorous Acid Spray! I'm obsessed with this stuff—it's my go-to for sanitizing my red light mask, all my brushes, and even my skin. It effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.  Love it!

5.  Around here...

Have a great weekend!  I'm off to pick strawberries at our local orchard this morning.  Then I'm coming home to make snacks for our Bible study group tonight.  Glad I can take my time and do all the things today!  See you next week!
