friday faves (and a Blendtec Blender Giveaway!)

Happy Fridayyyy! This week was a short one work-wise, but yet it felt longer than usual. That seems to be the way with four-day work weeks, doesn’t it?

Just for fun, I thought I’d link up with Amanda today and share a few of my favorite things from this week!

+ Did I ever tell you all my neighbor, Audrey, is also a blogger? Her insta is pretty much amazing (as is her blog), and we frequently bounce ideas off one another (and collab when we can!) She surprised me this week with a pair of Kate Spade earrings – I was so surprised, and so touched! She definitely wins for best gift this week 😉

+ I’m halfway through Better Than Before. I am loving it (turns out I am an Obliger) – have you read it?

+ Fave moment this week: enjoying one last breakfast with a few #SundaySupper gals at Élevage in South Tampa, on Monday morning before returning to reality. I love foodie friends! We share everything we’re eating with one another. I’m still on a high from last weekend – I’ll share a recap soon!

+ We’re having friends over this weekend to watch football – I can’t wait to make these Mini Turkey Taco Salads #portioncontrol

+ I’m sharing 30 Savory Healthy Recipes over on Cupcakes and Kale Chips. I’ve been a contributor to Cupcakes and Kale Chips for several months, and it’s always so fun sharing foodie round-ups over there! To celebrate 2016 , a few lovely ladies are giving away a Blendtec Blender!! Enter by clicking the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win (until February 5th)!
