Five on Friday!

Happy, happy Friday y'all!

I swear, there is nothing harder than waking up on a Friday morning when its raining and having to get out of bed for work instead of cuddle and watch movies all day.

Today I'm linking up again with Christina, April, Darci, and Natasha for some Friday favorites!

Birthday Gifts. 

I forgot to share this adorable Coach cross-body bag yesterday that my parents bought for me for my birthday. I'm obsessed with the colors and even though I can't fit my big camera in it, its perfect for everyday use and (thinking ahead) some strolls around the streets of Rome! My husband also got me Under Armour yoga pants, similar here, and they are my new favorites!

Smoothies. 

Straws from Target dollar section

I've been on a major smoothie kick now that I've been working out and eating better. I'm loving this site, which has 50 skinny smoothie recipes with under 5 ingredients. I've also been creating my own... my favorite has been what I'd say tastes like a Creamsicle. I didn't measure anything, but you can recreate it by throwing some frozen peaches and pineapple chunks, orange juice, low fat orange yogurt, and vanilla whey protein powder in a blender. It tastes like summer.

Also, I had a moment of weakness in Publix last night that steered me into the bakery section and forced me to buy chocolate chip muffins. I then proceeded to choke on the first muffin I ate, like really choke, this morning. It was as if some external forces were punishing me for purchasing them. Back to the smoothies I go!

Office Makeover.

New Year, new project. I feel a mini office makeover coming soon... nothing drastic, but I do want to make my home office a little more interesting since I have to sit in it all day. You can see the rest of my inspiration here. I'm thinking some girly accents like a monogram or two, new gold prints, acrylic accessories, and cute storage like this rather than my boring Ikea boxes. Am I totally falling into the blogger fad of acrylic and gold accessories? Yes.

Valentine's Day Pancakes.

You know me and my thing for holidays, so of course the moment our Christmas decor came down my brain was already fast forwarding to February. I came across this Skinny Red Velvet Pancake recipe and I'm just counting down the days until I can make it for the hubs (sans the cream cheese topping, I'm still trying to kick that muffin top). I'm not sure if he'll like it so I may need to have some boring plain pancake mix on backup but he is definitely getting heart-shaped breakfast foods. Or maybe these pizzas.

Weekend Plans.

This weekend we're doing dinner in downtown Charleston and I'm committed to finally finishing our Master Bedroom! It's been a while, I'm guessing y'all forgot I was even working on it. Hopefully I'll have some photos to share next week!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Since I was a slacker/bad blogger this week, I'm excited to catch up next week with some fun posts. See you then! :)
