Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! I hope you all have lots of good stuff planned for the weekend. Summer is already in full swing here in Charleston so I'm excited for a lot of grilling, sun, and hopefully some beach time! 

Also I wanted to thank you all for the love on my DIY scarf camera strap, I don't intend on opening an Etsy shop (at least in the near future!) but you really know how to make a girl feel loved!

Today I'm linking up with Amanda and Natasha for some of my favorites from the week!

Trader Joe's Cookie Butter

Am I the last to hear about this or have y'all missed out on Cookie Butter too?! It's the texture of peanut butter, but its made from cookies and tastes just like the Biscoffs you get on the airplane. I took one giant spoonful and realized this stuff is dangerous. Like... "half of the container is gone in a week"-kind of dangerous. Eat it with apples or top your ice cream with it. Mind blown.

Gift Cards from my Boss

Nothing beats a surprise envelope in the mail from your boss with two gift cards and a thank you for working your butt off. Oh wait, a well-deserved raise does. Working on that... but in the meantime I'll take some free food and caffeine.

E-Bates 15% Cash Back

Has anyone taken advantage of the 15% cash back offer from E-Bates this week? I'm pretty psyched after saving over $20 on my Nordstrom order, which included this cobalt maxi... here's hoping everything fits! Or not, because I don't really need any of it. But who can pass up a good deal?

(Finally) joined Twitter @HomeSweetRuby

I finally broke down and made a Twitter account. I figured I didn't need another distraction but I was only delaying the inevitable. Feel free to follow here (or click the birdie icon to the top right!) to watch me attempt to navigate social media in 140 characters or less.

Summer Sangria

Photo and Recipe {here}

I came across this recipe on Pinterest and I'm totally putting it on our Memorial Day picnic menu. I'm a sucker for sangria and this strawberry/peach combination sounds so refreshing! I'll probably switch up a couple other things in the recipe, so I'll let y'all know how it comes out!

This weekend I'm getting a much needed haircut and mani-pedi. Oh and I'm also really excited for a trip to Whole Foods. Is that weird?! Hope you all have a fab weekend!
