Otherwise known as “Friday Favorites” but I like to be creative occasionally and shock you all.
Happy LONG weekend. I have a few things planned with friends but my main objective is to spend time out in the sun. Hopefully the sun cooperates on that one. This is “beach week” in Florida so I’m kind of having FOMO, which I don’t get often. But I have to say, the fireworks will be better here than at the beach. Thank you, Macy’s.
5 Things I’m Loving This Week
1) My half birthday was this past Tuesday and a few notable things happened. First, I had a great workout at EVF Performance. Second, I got out of work an hour early. Third, I got to see my dog (via FaceTime, of course). I know he was happy to see me, despite the evil look on his face from the birthday hat.
2) This bag, which of course I didn’t buy but 100% agree with. I feel you, pigeon. I feel you.
3. Ok, so this isn’t something I’m loving at all. It’s actually something I’m hating. Ben and Jen were my favorite! And to answer your question, yes I do get breaking news alerts from E! Online. Hey, important stuff happens that I need to know right away.
4. This canvas that my sister and her friends all made to take to college. They got together and everyone brought lipstick and a blank canvas. Perfect dorm decoration!
5. USA Women’s Soccer. I get really into events like the World Cup and the Olympic regardless of the sport because I just love America. The women’s soccer team, which is full of badass, fit, inspiring women, will face Japan in the finals on Sunday. Fourth of July weekend + USA soccer = America rocks.

Linking up to Heather and Clare today!
Have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend!
We don’t have TV, so I probably won’t watch the World Cup Finals. . . I love the canvas decoration. That’s definitely unique. :o)

I think she’ll be the only one in her dorm to have that canvas ;) Have a great weekend!
I LOVE YOUR DOG. Gosh I am becoming such a crazy dog lady. Also that thing your sister and her friends did is super cute. I remember when I moved into my dorm I legit covered my entire side of the room in photos of me and my friends back home. I now can’t believe I lived in a dorm room and shudder at the thought of it haha

I love YOUR dog. I’m a crazy dog lady too, don’t worry. I also shudder at the thought of living in a dorm room again but she’s lucky and will be in a nice apartment.
Given my heritage I obviously need to overlook the note on the World Cup. Kidding! I don’t care about soccer. Unless somebody asks and I basically need to pretend I was ruling for Germany all the way ;).
The canvas your sister and her friends made is one of the sweetest decoration ideas I’ve seen so far.
Also, your dog is SO cute. What’s his name?

Haha oops…sorry about that game ;) I’m obsessed with my dog. His name is Rocco and he’s a cockapoo. Have a great weekend!
Wait the dorm decoration is the cutest idea!!! I wish I was that creative back then… Or now, really, considering I’ve been in my apartment for 11 months and it looks like I just moved in haha

So cute, I know! I did paint a canvas and made a photo collage for my dorm but it was just the standard stuff and very basic.
That’s the cutest little lipstick canvas! Such a great idea!

Right?! I was mad I didn’t think of it before my freshman year!
Happy LONG weekend to you, Emily! I laughed out loud at your first bullet point. I definitely celebrate my half birthday as well, and I am so glad someone else shares in that tradition. Happy belated half birthday!
Favorite celeb couple: Ellen and Portia!

I want to make one now even thought I’m almost done with college!
Your dog looks absolutely THRILLED to be wearing that birthday hat…HA! They always know when they look silly and they do not appreciate it. :) Have a beautiful weekend and I hope you get lots of healthy Vitamin D.

Yes! He gets so mad at Halloween when we try to dress him up too.
I’m thinking of throwing a first birthday party for my cat and from the look on your dog’s face I think she will love it. :)

He’s always hated this hat! Not sure if it’s because it’s too tight or because it’s funny looking. Hopefully your cat will take it better’
Ben & Jen are getting divorced?!?! Ahhhhh, so sad :( They were the most down-to-earth, sweet seeming celeb couple.
And I love that your dog wore a hat for your half birthday- so funny!

I gasped when I got that notification. Didn’t believe it! Yeah we keep that hat around for birthday/half-bday celebrations :)
Gosh that canvas your sister and her friends made is the cutest! Happy (belated) half birthday! :P

I think so too :) Thanks, Paola! Have a great week.
I love that lipstick canvas! I wish I would have done that before going off to college! Such a cute idea. I was soooo disappointed when I saw that divorce announcement too! They were one of the few Hollywood couples I thought were actually going to stay together forever!

So mad I didn’t think of the canvas idea! No one else will have it in her dorm, which is cool.
