Friday favorites, where have you been?

It's been forever since I last posted about Friday favorites. For-ev-er. I used to love linking up with different blogs and reading those that were already linked. People lead such interesting lives. And it's fun getting sucked in a little while reading about it. I just kind of stopped it all. Maybe it was me getting lazy; I'm not sure. So let's start 'er back up this morning and write about five things that are my favorites at the moment.

P.S. I say it every year and I'll say it again. I DO NOT envy those going back to school. Even though I finished with a Bachelor's degree many years ago, I often think, What if I went back to school to this or that? Never again, I tell you. Never! But good luck to those that have started this week!



ONE | BIG BROWS

If you follow me on IG, then you saw my big brow post (@lipstickskulls) the other day. Big brows are a huge makeup trend happening right now and I couldn't wait to play up that feature. Now I want to make them this big all the time!!

TWO | SWEETS

OMFG, sweets are going to be the death of me. I've been working on my caloric intake lately but the sweets keep tempting me. Even if I am at and/or under my calorie limit for the day, the weight isn't going to come off if I'm eating extra sugar. So this isn't a favorite this week, just one that's constantly in the front of my brain. I need someone to keep me accountable.

THREE | NYX MATTE LIPSTICKS

I don't know about you, but something else that are on a TON of makeup videos is that NYX matte lipsticks. I first noticed the weird color of Butter worn by Ashley at Sultry Suburbia and have been in love ever since. I actually ordered four of the matte shades last night and will be getting them very soon. Be on the look out for a post!

FOUR | ROOTBEER BBQ CHICKEN

I've recently discovered my love for crockpot chicken. Really, I don't know why I haven't been using my crockpot this whole time. I just broke it out from under the sink about a month ago. But the last few times I've made something in it, it's had chicken, and it just melts in your mouth. I made this recipe last night with some baked beans and veggies on the side. SO GOOD.

FIVE | BERRY LIPS

Something else I can't wait for is fall weather and wearing dark berry lips. People might question me wearing it while still 95 degrees outside. But the cooler weather will bring more dark lips and I can't wait!

And if you haven't seen it already, I'm giving away products from Mary Kay's emerald Studio collection. Check it out!!!
