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?

3.  Movie Pass

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!

Five on Friday - July 24, 2015

Happy Friday!!  Today's going to be a busy one for me -- my friend, Carol,  and I are decorating for a wedding and reception today.  Carol will be doing most of the decorating and I'll be doing whatever she tells me to do.  I love days like this -- we've had a vision of what this wedding is going to look like for months and have been working towards it.  Today we get to see it all come together!  Before I head out to make one bride's dream wedding become a reality, here's my five for this week.

1.  Emergency Bridal Bag
Every bride should have an emergency kit.  This is the one I put together for Suzy (this week's bride) and I will be delivering it to her today.  Inside is (hopefully) everything she would need should a mishap occur.  A few of the items tucked in the bag are a mini sewing kit, lint brush, mints, bottle of water, washcloth, cotton swaps, mirror, tissues, Tylenol, and personal fan,   This could also make an awesome shower gift.  What's the worse wedding mishap you've heard of?  I want to be prepared for anything that comes our way!

2.  Lights, Camera, Lashes!

I've fallen in love with a new mascara by Tarte - Lights, Camera, Lashes!  I'm telling you, this magical stuff definitely makes my eye lashes look longer and fuller.  Tarte says it's a 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning) plus it's dermatologist - and clinically - proven to increase the appearance of lash volume.  I believe them.  If you're in the market to try a new mascara, I can't recommend this one enough!

3.  Body Deodorant Towelettes

You know when you've been outside and it's like 100 degrees and you get kind of sweaty?!?  Well, these little babies are the answer to stinky pits.  I love having these in my purse and if you're out and about and need to freshen up a bit, just whip one of these out and wipe yourself off.  Great way to stay feeling fresh on those hot, humid days.

4.  Personal Air Conditioner

Speaking of hot, humid days -- I just purchased a couple of these to use this weekend during the wedding pictures.  The plan is to head to a local outdoor area for pictures and the forecast is saying it's going to be 91 degrees.  Just a bit toasty!  I don't want the bride to get overheated in her beautiful wedding dress, so my plan is to blast her with these mini air conditioners.  Eric and I have tested them at home and, sure enough, the air is pretty frigid coming out of these little gadget.  For $11 I thought they would be a decent investment.  I'm also thinking ahead and planning on taking them with me on my upcoming float trip.  Who says you have to be hot outside?

Available HERE

5.  Something I've been thinking about...

Have a great weekend!  I'll be back on Monday with all the wedding happenings.  Please cross your fingers that it doesn't rain on Saturday for the outdoors wedding pictures!  Oh -- and if you haven't entered the giveaway I'm participating in, check out THIS POST to get entered.  $200 is up for grabs and it could be yours!
