Friday Favorites, 6.9.23.

 

Happy Friday, friends, and happy June! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for today's favorite blog post of the week. I hope you've had a great week! Mine has been a great mixture of fun and getting things done, which is always my favorite. 

This was me sitting down to start writing on Monday, in between sending funny birthday memes to my best friend on her birthday, like these below.

She loves Robert Downey, Jr., so those with him in it were here favorite. 

Last week I mentioned this new eyeshadow palette by Elf that's my new favorite, and someone wanted to see it, so here it is! I have only been using the one color next to the cream color on the edge. I just use that one shade all over my eyelids, then I blend it up with a larger brush. I found a girl on Pinterest who gives great tips on applying makeup, so I took her advice and am doing mine differently. I line the bottom of my top lid and just the outer corners under my eyes with the brown color and a small, pointy applicator. Here's a link to her Pinterest page. Her name is Julia Rosemond, and I love her simple makeup style. 

I can't remember if I mentioned this, but Crash had to have some minor surgery two weeks ago, to remove a metal plate from his leg from a surgery he had two years ago. He started developing an allergic reaction to the metal, so the doctor wanted to remove it once the infection had cleared. He had to live in a kennel again for two weeks afterward, so his favorite thing was getting to be free again this week. He was given the all-clear from the doctor, so to celebrate, we gave him a bath on Monday night. Chip had a bath on Saturday, and we gave Callie one last night. We love summertime for this reason! It's so much easier to bathe them all outside when it's hot.

I mentioned earlier in the week that I was trying a new recipe from a video I'd seen on Tik Tok. It was delicious and a possible favorite for the future! It was super easy, and here's what I did: In an 8x13 baking dish, I added some shredded chicken, diced cherry tomatoes, two diced squash, and two diced zucchini. I drizzled with olive oil, Olive Garden light Italian dressing, salt and pepper, and about a fourth cup of shredded cheese. I mixed it all before adding the cheese, and baked it for 30 minutes on 375. It was even really good as leftovers, so I was pleased.

My last favorite from the week were the two days I spent here. It's been really hot already this week, so the water felt amazing. I'm so happy that my summer tan is coming along nicely! 🤣 And because of that, I was finally able to get my nails done in a color that I've been wanting ever since I saw Sally Hepworth's nails painted this color last year when she toured the US for the book that came out last spring.

It might just be my new favorite!
