It is finally Friday
[and not a minute too soon]
which means it is time for my
Friday Favorites!
After two sleepless nights, courtesy of my new psychology class, I finally got a good night’s sleep!
It is amazing how seven hours of uninterrupted sleep can change your day!
The right amount of sleep will also aid in making the right choices.
Which brings me to my
Favorite # ONE
Vega Plant Protein and Greens
I recently bought the book:
The All-Day Fat Burning Diet calls for a smoothie for breakfast on most days.
The Vega Protein and Greens is a product I purchased prior to this book and it works nicely in the smoothie recipes in this book. The Coco-Berry Blast smoothie is especially tasty. It includes coconut milk, mixed berries, spinach, chia seed, and this Vega protein powder.
Speaking of Greens…

Covergirl Outlast All-Day Lipcolor
My new favorite is #542 Brazen Raisin.
Even though I am affiliated with Mary Kay, I haven’t found a better lipstick product than this one.
The truth is the truth!
Favorite # FOUR
Shopping at Tanger Outlets
in Daytona Beach.
LB and I made a stop on the way home from our Labor Day Weekend Mini-Vacation that you can read about here.
We did a lot of shopping.
Believe it or not, LB found more deals than I did!
Favorite # FIVE
EXPRESS
It’s always been a favorite.
There are typically great deals to be found.
And for fit, the jeans cannot be beat.
However, the CLEARANCE RACK is the best!
I found a Cold Shoulder Black & White Gingham Top!
$12 Final Sale.
I got the last one!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
