Happy Friday all! I can't believe we are already zooming through October. We are trying to finalize our Halloween costume ideas, order those and prep for that. Are your kids going trick or treating this year? We are going to our friends house for a small Halloween party. I just told my kids that and they are not the happiest. But I am hoping we can go trick or treating in the party neighborhood or maybe around our house before we head over.
Anyways, onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. So last week I started a new show on Netflix. I am sure some of you have heard about it, but if you haven't, you need to check it out. It is so cute. It is called Emily in Paris and it was written by Darren Star who wrote Younger and Sex and the City. I am trying to take my time and watch it since there is only 10 episodes and each one is about a half hour long. I wanted to binge the whole thing, but I also want to enjoy it.
TWO. I know I have posted about this stuff before, but I just love it. It is my go to gloss/lipstick when I go out. It goes on beautifully, stays on and the price is amazing. I now three colors. I have Creme Brulee which was the first one I got and have bought on repeat and now I have Eclair and Tiramusu. They are $5 each, but they last forever and I usually can get a deal on them at Ulta often.
THREE. Now another favorite of mine that I keep purchasing over and over again is Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Lip Balm. I love Burt's Bees and used to get the original one, but then I tried the vanilla one as a gift from a baby shower and I have been hooked since. It smells good, tastes good and keeps my lips moisturized.
FOUR. I found the cutest wrap dress at my local Target, but they didn't have the color I wanted, so I ordered it. But it is perfect for Fall family photos, a Fall wedding or even Thanksgiving dinner. I got it in this green color, but the gold is perfect for Fall as well. This dress isn't low cut and it has a tack on the side to keep it mom-friendly.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
I feel you. I binge watch seasons together at times. The wrap dress looks beautiful! Have a fun weekend!

Sometimes they are just too good not to. I hope you had a good weekend as well!
DeleteI cracked up at the Zoom meetings - that was me yesterday! I have always heard that butter gloss is the best, but have yet to try it. That needs to change!
ReplyDeleteIt is the best. And it smells great. I use it for all my going out events. No need to spend a bunch of money on lip stick. The zoom meetings is too funny and soooo true.
DeleteHappy Friday! We're going to my sister's for Halloween and I heard a lot of houses around here will be leaving baskets of candy out on their porch so there's no contact. We're hoping to still make it special. I can't wait to see what the girls will be! That dress is so cute and would be great for so many occasions this time of year. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea to leave the baskets out. I do want it to be special for my girls too. That is why I hope we can combine the two and make it a great Halloween despite covid. I love the dress. I wish I would have gotten it in a darker color too. Now I just may have to.
DeleteI have heard so many people talk about Emily in Paris, so I will have to check it out. Those are my top 3 NYX colors too! Those and Boxum are my favorites. Cant wait to hear what you decided on costumes! We are going to be doing an egg hunt for Zoe at our house, and watching some fun Halloween movies with her. I hate that we wont be trunk or treating this year, or going around our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo cute. You will binge it quickly. Those colors are the best right? I love Boxum, but these are soooo much cheaper! That is a good idea for Halloween. What will she be?
DeleteHappy Friday sweetheart! I love NYX and I love Berts Bees! that dress is beautiful and I can totally picture you in it. Have a sweet weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I can see you in the dress too. It is a cute one!
DeleteThat is too funny about the modern day seance / zoom meeting! Thanks for sharing about that show, you know I love Younger!!
ReplyDeleteIt is right? And you know I love Younger too, so this is right up your alley. Younger is coming back though. and a spin off too.
DeleteThat dress is super cute! I haven't used NYX lip gloss yet!
ReplyDeleteIt is the best and soooo cheap!
DeleteOmg that seance meme haha it's do damn true. I hope you have a great weekend, Danielle!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo damn true! I did have a good weekend. I hope you did as well!
DeleteI need to watch this Emily in Paris, everyone is talking about it! I love that dress, perfect for family photos! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo cute and if you like Younger or Sex and the City, then this is up your alley. Or even just Paris. Sooo pretty!
DeleteI watched Emily in Paris in it's entirety and can't wait for season 2 already!
ReplyDeleteI have two episodes left and I don't want it to end. I want season 2 too!
DeleteSo I *just* heard of Emily in Paris after another blogger mentioned it as one of their favorites yesterday. Sounds like a show I'd like!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo cute and sooo worth it. The fashion, Paris, the story line, etc. It is all so good.
DeleteLOL at that mail one. aint that the truth
ReplyDeleteI didnt know Emily in Paris was a series... I thought it was a movie - I'll have to jump into that one
It is soooo true! It is a 10 part series and I can't wait for season 2. I have two episodes left and I LOVE it.
