Happy Friday! I kicked off Friday with a sunrise yoga class before working from a neighborhood coffee shop with a friend. After working from the same desk and home office all week it’s a nice break to spend a few hours in a coffee shop, surrounded by people and the inviting coffee aroma. This weekend is shaping up to be a great mix of friends and relaxation. Tonight and tomorrow we’re pretty busy but Sunday and Monday we have nothing on the calendar. I’m thankful that we get to enjoy a three day weekend! Am I the only one who feels as if they holidays were months ago versus just two weeks ago?
As promised, in regular Friday fashion, here is this week’s version of Friday Favorites. So, as you count down the minutes until the weekend begins, let’s dive into this week’s edition of Friday Favorites, including recipes, articles, posts and other things that caught my eye this week.
I’ve decided that every Friday I need a five minute YouTube break to laugh and get over the afternoon slump. This week’s is Adele’s carpool karaoke with James Corden. My favorite part is her story about what she does when she’s drunk at a restaurant. Can I be part of her squad? Please?
During last night’s NYRR coached run club, I sported my Nike Pro Warm Printed Half-Zip. As you can see in the picture above, the top is bright and cheery while also featuring functional details such as thumbholes and a longer hemline. The brushed material kept me warm during the nighttime run while also wicking the sweat away. I bought this top for the pattern but it’s functionality has me wanting to buy another!
After reading the New York Times review of this book, I immediately downloaded it and proceeded to get lost in the authors beautiful prose. Even though he is describing such a horrible thing, the book is a wonderful and moving read. I can already tell that this book will have an impact on me long after I finish the final page.
Since receiving the luxurious, fragrant Diptyque Baies candle for Christmas, it’s luxurious aroma has permeated our home each day. It was such a perfect Christmas gift as I rarely indulge on Diptyque candles but now that I’ve been spoiled with this candle I may have to sample other scents by ordering their sampler pack or a few small sizes.
These healthy, portable and protein packed egg cups are a perfect breakfast option! Since the next few weeks are going to involve a few days at the office, I may whip these up on Sunday.
If you’re constantly trying to find a place to store your jewelry, this mirror idea from A Beautiful Mess is the perfect solution!
Do your New Year’s resolutions include eating more vegetables? If so, check out these 20 spiralizer recipes that won’t disappoint even the most discerning taste buds.
While Gisele and Tom are quite the beautiful couple, I’ll happily take my weight and moderate lifestyle over their restrictive, healthy diet. Moderation is the key to life folks, am I right? This hilarious piece from Bon Appetit follows one person as she tried to survive their diet.

I can’t wait to try those spiralizer recipes. Who knew you could spiralize kohlrabi? Have a great weekend!
I want a veggie spiraler. I love seeing what people come up with when they use them!
Right now I’m just loving that today is Friday and I can somewhat relax tomorrow since my husband will be home and can help with the kids 🙂
you know that Diptyque do a perfume of Baies? It’s called ‘L’Ombre sur l’eau’. It’s pretty expensive but a little goes a long way and it’s gorgeous! I used to get so many compliments when I wore it.
I had no idea! I bet it’s lovely!!
