FRIDAY FAVORITES: COUNTING DOWN EDITION

I’m counting down. To a lot of things. But the biggest of things is an upcoming move. This has actually been the longest time coming. Details are still fuzzy, but I’m feeling the pressure more now than ever this week so I’m struggling to feel on top of everything. Doing my best over here though, as is all we can ever do. In other news, though, check out some of my favorites from this week. I’m trying to make this a little more of a deliberate focus so I can spend some time in gratitude, rather than getting caught up in the life cycle.

This week I loved…

• Skincare always takes awhile to really get to know, but recently-ish I started using the Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment and I’m loving it. My skin hasn’t had any negative reactions and the smell is amazing. I love using something with a great scent, especially in the evening. I know fragrance can be triggering for some skin types, but for me, the fragrance gives sort of a mental boost so I enjoy it.
• These are my all-time favorite leggings. I recently ordered a new pair in black, but I have tons of colors. Kinda wanting to go back and get more in black though. They’re buttery soft, don’t pick up too much dog hair, and are compressive without feeling too tight.
• I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately. Well, maybe not lately lately, but over the last year in general. I’m up to 70 books this year and counting. I’ve been reading with Kindle Unlimited a lot and enjoying it, despite my issues with Amazon, I do think it’s a useful tool.

In case you missed it…

• On Monday, I shared a fall outfit inspo post for the obscenely hot weather. A few tips and tricks if you’re dealing with a heatwave, but wanting to feel those fall vibes.
• Check out my post from Wednesday – I’ve shared mini-reviews of five different eyeshadow palettes I’ve used lately! This might become a bit of a series as I keep working through more palettes.

Check this out…

• I’m still rebuilding my following list since Bloglovin’ died, so what are your favorite blogs?
• I’ve been investing in more special pieces of jewelry lately, especially pieces that can stack and be layered. Style Snapshots wrote a post this week of her staple pieces and there is some serious inspiration here!
• If you’re feeling fall, check out this post from Style Cusp – there’s lots of great fall outfit inspo!

Shop this weekend…

• I LOVE White House Black Market for cute, simple, workwear pieces and I just found out they have a rewards program with a discount associated this weekend – 25% off which is pretty damn good if you ask me!
• There is an LTK sale that starts on Sunday, and Abercrombie is a part of it. I’m obsessed with their denim so if you’re in the market, check it out in the app!
• Always shop with Rakuten (not sponsored, but this is a referral link which you can get too if you’re a part). I’ve saved almost $400 since using it, and I know I’ve missed out on quite a bit from not taking advantage of the in-store features as well. I’m working on getting better because it’s seriously so fundamental.

Are you counting down to anything right now?
