Friday Favorites – February Edition

Hope you guys have had a great week. Are you counting down the minutes until the weekend begins? Due to a last minute cancellation, Bo and I have no plans this weekend. After fighting off a cold and then stomach illness, nothing sounds better than a relaxing weekend in Geneva. I’m looking forward to plenty of time reading on the couch, running, practicing yoga, cooking, watching movies and relaxing with Bo.

It’s time for this week’s dose of Friday Favorites. This week includes everything from a few new recipes, beauty products I’m enjoying, a new pair of running tights and some great workouts!

Tonight I discovered OPI Dutch Tulip nail polish. A perfect mix of red and pink hues, it is my new Spring color of choice. After months of darker colors, the vibrant hue is a fun change!

This great No Equipment, 12 minute HIIT workout is perfect for days when the roads are too snowy or travel forces you to workout in your hotel room. I’m heading to London next week for work and have already pinned this for some much needed workout inspiration.

My gray, frozen runs have been made a bit brighter thanks to my Nike Epic Lux Tights. Unlike many other running tights I’ve tried, these stay in place during sprints, yoga and bootcamps.

This month’s book club pick, Big Little Lies, is hard to put down and easy to enjoy! It follows three different friends, each at a critical turning point in their life. I’m more than halfway through the book and still can’t figure out how it’ll end.

homemade Tagalong Scout cookie recipe

Forget to order your favorite Girl Scout cookies this year? Can’t have those delicious cookies in your home? These five recipes allow you to bake your favorite Girl Scout cookie at home. Hmm, I may just have to whip up Tagalongs this weekend.

I received some wonderful samples in my latest Sephora order, including a deluxe sample of L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream. This rich face cream absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. I’ve used lots of rich face creams over the year and this is the first that doesn’t leave my pillow case greasy and goes on smooth enough for daytime or evening use.

    Thanks for including my workout 🙂 Your ears must be ringing because I was singing your praises today on every abroad recommendation you have given me!!! We booked a trip to Prague/Vienna/Budapest for April so I’ll be searching your site for restaurants next month.

      I haven’t been to Budapest but have a friend who has visited. I can definitely share some tips! Have you booked hotels already?

    You’re going to love the end of Big Little Lies! I was reading it on a plane ride to Mexico, and when we got to our resort I made my husband wait for me as I finished the last 6 pages! It was that good.

      Katie I literally squealed when I read the ending! So good!

    Loved Big Little Lies – it was hard to put down. Her last book – The Husband’s Secret was really good too.

      I agree Colleen! It took me a few chapters until I was hooked. I’m just starting the next one now.

      It’s super fun and I love that it’s a mix of red and pink!
