Five Things Friday #4

Happy Happy Friday Everyone! Read along as I join Clare in Five Things Friday!

5 Things I’m Loving…

I have so many polishes but right now this one is my favorite.  When I am unsure of what I want to wear I reach for Deborah Lippmann “Happy Birthday.” It’s fun but not obnoxious!

Lately I’ve found whenever I am craving something sweet if I drink this tea it really helps to satisfy that need. Peppermint and Licorice is good for you and it taste sweet so it kind of tricks my body without reaching for chocolate which is what I really want to do. 🙂

For about a week now I’ve been revisiting some old favorites from Arcade Fire. I had really forgotten how much I loved their music. It is hard to pick a favorite because I really love so many of their songs but I’ve been playing this one a lot lately!

Quinoa is one of my favorite and one of the most versatile foods I enjoy! I basically use it anywhere I would use rice and I also enjoy it in salads and kale scrambles that I make. Honestly there are not many places that I wouldn’t use it.

Anyone who knows me knows that one of my favorite shows to watch is House Hunters, but lately I am equally hooked on Island Hunters that started about a month ago on HGTV. Now I am a little obsessed with figuring out how we can own our very own private island! Talk about AWESOME! eek! It’s great to have goals right! 🙂
