Happy Friday! We don't have anything big going on this weekend other than watching the Niners and Cowboys game. I am very much welcoming an easy weekend and hopefully getting some rest.
Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. Last weekend we celebrated the girls birthday with a roller skating birthday party. It was chaos, but the girls had the best time. I snapped a few photos and we had some great videos on IG, but I don't have copies of those. And some of these are from others.
TWO. On Sunday night, we took the girls to a fancy dinner using money we all got for Christmas. We went to a steakhouse and the girls ate soooo much. The girls and I shared a steak dinner and the staff were so amazing to the girls. They each got their own sorbet palette cleanser and they even upped our portion for our appetizer. Plus they each got a chocolate mousse cake.
THREE. I recently bought myself a Valentine's Day/heart sweater. I had seen it on IG and it wasn't available online until a few days ago. I bought mine in person. I tried on the small, medium and large. I went with the medium and it fits beautifully. The small was just a bit too short on me (I have a long torso). The large is great if you want an oversized fit. But $25 for this sweater is a steal.
FOUR. I was at Sephora using gift cards from Christmas and I asked the sales rep about a new primer. I have been using the NYX Marshmellow Primer, but I have noticed that my mascara ends up tinting under my eyes and my face has been greasier in the evening more than usual.
I told her that I tend to have oilier skin and I want all day lasting power. She suggested Milk Hydro Grip Primer. She put some on my hand and it instantly hydrated it. I should tell you that my hands are wrecked in the Winter and so dry. This helped. I walked around grabbing my Eyeshadow Primer and a new foundation brush to see how many hand did with it. I liked it and they have the best return/exchange policy, so I thought why not. I have used it 3 times since then and I really like it. My makeup has lasted all day and not run. I will continue to use it and give a more proper review later.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
I used to love having roller skating parties!
ReplyDeleteMe too. Now I need to get back on skates so I can enjoy it with my girls.
DeleteThat roller skating party looks so fun. I bet your girls loved their special dinner out.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun. I like treating the girls to fancy dinners every so often. They love getting dressed up.
DeleteOh my gosh, the roller skating party takes me BACK. I think I had more than one roller skating party when I was their age and went to so many for friends’ birthdays, Brownies, etc. Love that the decor has not changed from the ‘90s to now, haha!
ReplyDeleteIt brings me back too. I just need to learn to skate again and join them. Oh it is still very much 90s looking in there. Ha.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday to the girls. Looks like a fun party. Love you sweater.. super cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a fun party. The sweater has been worn a lot in the two weeks that I have had it. Such a fun festive wear.
DeleteI loooove that the girls had a roller skate party! That is so much fun! I had a roller skate party for my 6th or 7th birthday and it was one of my favorites ever!
ReplyDeleteMe too. It is a total throwback to when we were growing up. I had them at roller rinks all the time.
