Friday Faves

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted a Friday Faves, so I thought I’d get back into it this month because I have so many awesome things to share with you.

I’ve also decided to change up the format a bit sharing a variety of items from different categories. I’ll be dishing on everything from beauty products and makeup to cookbooks, baby must-haves and my fave blogs.

BABY: I am obsessed with so many different products from Aiden + Anais, but their Dream Blankets have to be one of my favorites. They’re super soft, wash incredibly well, and they’re perfect for baby snuggle time on the couch. And I’m totally in love with all of their fun, modern patterns.

MAKEUP: With the new baby, I’m obviously lacking in the sleep department and I have the under eye circles to prove it. I discovered Mac Prep + Prime Highlighter in Radiant Rose a few weeks ago and it’s been doing a stellar job of brightening and adding a little radiance to my eye area. Ya know, giving the illusion that I’m actually well-rested.

BEAUTY: I’ve been in love with Josie Maran’s Argan Oil for quite some time, using it on dry skin patches, parched lips and the ends of my hair. More recently, I’ve started to use the Cleansing Oil from the line and it’s pretty amazing. Even though my skin is definitely more on the oily side, it removes my makeup and hydrates my skin without making it feel greasy. I’m pretty smitten.

SNACK: If you read my recent post for Coconut Muffins, you know I’m on a coconut binge these days. I mentioned these Toasted Coconut Almonds from Blue Diamond because they’re definitely one of my favorite snacks. Even my coconut hating brother thought these were amazing. I love that I can toss the can into my purse or diaper bag and have a delicious, healthy on-the-go snack. I think they’ll forever be on my weekly Target shopping list.

BOOK: I’m a sucker for a layered dessert, so when Glory, the writer behind the blog Glorious Treats, sent me her first cookbook – I fell madly in love with it. Glory’s book, Glorious Layered Desserts is loaded with decadent desserts that are perfect for any occasion. It’s beautifully photographed, thoughtfully written, and a must-have for any baker. Bottom line – buy this book!

BLOGGER: Since I love Glory’s book so much, I just had to share her blog as well. Glorious Treats has been on my must-read blog list for quite some time. She’s definitely one of the sweetest people I’ve met through blogging and her dessert creations are just as amazing!
