Hello and welcome to Five on Friday! I'm coming to you from our vacation spot in Orange Beach today. We're down here with our son and daughter-in-law for just few days - but we're making them count! Let me get straight to my five for today so I can get back to focusing on the waves and looking for dolphins ~
1. Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty
Calling all Big Little Lies fans! Liane Moriarty is taking us back to Pirriwee in her brand-new book, Big Little Truths. Ten years have passed, and Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata and Bonnie are now navigating life with teenagers—which, of course, brings an entirely new level of drama! When a threatening package arrives at the high school and a mysterious stranger starts hanging around, old secrets and new problems begin bubbling to the surface. This highly anticipated sequel was released August 25 and is also a Reese’s Book Club pick. I loved Big Little Lies, so you better believe this one went straight onto my TBR list!
I was on the hunt for a comfortable, lightweight pair of pants to travel in this week, and I think I found the perfect pair! These plaid pants checked all the boxes for me—they’re lightweight, super comfortable, and cute enough that I still felt pulled together while traveling. And here’s the best part: after a full day of sitting, walking through airports, and being on the go, they were still practically wrinkle-free! That alone makes them a travel-day winner in my book. I love finding pieces that feel as comfortable as pajamas but look like you actually put some effort into your outfit, and these definitely fit the bill. If you have a trip coming up—or just love an easy, comfortable pair of pants for everyday wear—these are absolutely worth checking out!
3. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
Is it really fall if you haven’t had your first Pumpkin Spice Latte? Starbucks officially brought back the beloved PSL this week, and suddenly I’m ready for cozy sweaters, crisp mornings, colorful leaves and all things pumpkin! Never mind that the temperatures outside may still be screaming summer—one sip of pumpkin spice and I’m mentally decorating the porch with mums and pumpkins. If you’ve been counting down the days, your wait is officially over. Grab your favorite fall drink and consider pumpkin spice season officially OPEN!
I had a minor panic moment while packing for our trip this week when I couldn’t find my silicone makeup brush holder. Thankfully, after a little frantic searching, I found mine—crisis averted! I seriously love this little thing and never want to travel without it. It keeps all my makeup brushes together, protects the bristles from getting smashed in my makeup bag, and, most importantly, keeps everything clean and organized. The silicone material is soft, flexible and easy to wipe clean, making it perfect for tossing right into your suitcase or carry-on. It’s one of those inexpensive little Amazon finds that you don’t realize how much you need until you have one—and then you wonder how you ever traveled without it. If you have a trip coming up, do yourself a favor and add one to your travel essentials. Trust me, your makeup brushes will thank you!
5. Ever been there???
And with that, I’m going to get back to vacation mode! We have dinner reservations tonight at a place I’ve been excited to try, and tomorrow we’re heading out on a dolphin cruise—which I can’t wait for! In between those plans, you’ll find me doing a whole lot of relaxing, reading, soaking up the sunshine and listening to the waves roll in. Honestly, that sounds like the perfect way to spend a few days! Hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with a little fun and plenty of time to relax. See you back here next week!
