Feel Good Friday
I'm honestly not sure if there's anything better than that Friday feelin'!
what we've been up to...
Last Saturday was my sister's 18th Birthday! On Friday, we went to a drive-in Lauren Daigle concert & it was SUCH a cool experience! There were sooo many cars, it was crazy. We got chick-fil-a & ate it as we watched the pre-show videos. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous & the weather was perfect! Most people brought lawn chairs or blankets & sat outside their vehicle (some sat on top of or inside their vehicles). They had massive screens that were held up by cranes so that we could see. It really was such a cool experience & if you've never seen Lauren Daigle in person, I would highly recommend adding her to your concert bucket list! She was phenomenal. Thanks for choosing such a cool bday gift, B!

This is what my Monday evening looked like! Also, for those of you who want to make fun of me for being the only one with my camera turned off, I only turned it off for ONE SECOND while I took the picture so that I wouldn't be judged LOL!!
In case you missed it, this week I shared a post with some tips + tricks (including some staple products I love) to growing out your hair! You can check out that post here.
friday favs...
My hands have been very dry lately because of all of the extra hand-washing I've been doing lately. #goawaycovid. Anyway, I've been getting quite a few hangnails lately which is because of my dry hands, but if I'm being real, one of my nervous/anxious habits is messing with my fingertips so sometimes I create hangnails all on my own. I was looking for some type of oil or solution that I could apply to my fingertips because lotion just isn't cutting it. I found this cuticle oil from Amazon & it's been wonderful -- I've already noticed a huge difference after just four days of using it! A huge plus is that it's reasonably priced at less than $7 & I already know it's going to last me forever. Each night I apply one tiny drop to the nail area of each finger on my left hand, then rub my left hand's fingers together with my right hand's fingers. Five drops for both hands is MORE than enough! They will make your hands a little bit greasy so I use the drops at night & then go to bed (trying as hard as possible not to touch my face or hair). Highly recommend this if you're struggling with dry cuticles too!
Is there a better t-shirt for a school counselor to own??? Absolutely love this one from Callie Danielle's Shop! It's a comfort colors tee so it fits like a slightly oversized t-shirt. (I don't get any commission from y'all ordering this t-shirt or anything else from her site, but it's all so darling that I just have to share it anyway)!
Lol okay so I apparently need to clean my mirror. I apologize for that because it's probably going to show up in almost all of my photos. My bad! I'm currently clearly just surviving instead of thriving!
Y'all this is THE BEST loungewear set for five main reasons:
It's a super soft & thin material so you won't get too hot at night.
The hemline of the top has a functional drawstring so you're able to tighten it & make it look a little more flattering, or keep it undone & be extra comfy!
The bottoms have a cuffed hemline which is spectacular because they don't ride up at night when I sleep! They're basically a jogger.
It comes in a few other color options including blush pink & lavender -- how cute!
This whole set comes together & is less than $20!!!!!

All denim all day! This is a very common work outfit for me. I love mixing blue denim with black denim. This outfit looks great with booties & a cardigan too!

Since it's officially fall, you know what that means... bring out all the warm & cozy outfits! This sherpa quarter zip takes the cake. SO stinkin' soft & warm! It comes in a few other colors (my sister got the black & loves it) & is $15. It's got great length so it'll cover the booty in leggings! Other than that I would say it fits true to size -- the arms are even a great length!

My absolute favorite place to get custom-made apparel is BsKneesShop! She is seriously the sweetest girl & is always willing to help me out with any project or idea I have. More stuff from her will be coming soon & I can't wait to share!

flannels...
I love a good flannel, especially in the fall! They're just so versatile -- you can use them for layering, as a main top, to tie around your waist. I found this one at Walmart & I don't love it as much as I thought I was going to. It's SUPER long which is just not very flattering on my short body. I liked it better when I front-tucked it, but still just wasn't completely sold. I should've tried it on with some kind of vest because that could've been a game changer, but I decided to return it. So, just wanted to give my honest opinion on it & maybe if you're taller than 4'11" it could work for you! ;)

Here is one of my most worn flannels already & it is truly wonderful! It's oversized & is babydoll style which is just so fun. It's literally SO soft. It comes in a few other colors as well. It looks great buttoned up on its own or open with a shirt underneath, with leggings or with jeans. Love a great versatile flannel!

Tonight is my school's homecoming football game so I'm going to that with a new friend & her son! I'm super excited & thankful that I have someone to go with. #introvert. This weekend is going to be pretty chill. My sister has a volleyball tournament in a far away town so I'm choosing to not go & stay home instead to rest + relax & *hopefully* start studying for my counseling licensure exam. Ugh poor me lol.
