five friday favorites #5

what a week!

it is finally friday and i'm in love! anyone else channeling the cure? ;)

can you tell i am a bit scatterbrained today? more so loopy, actually. blame the cold meds . . . i seem to be the only human being that somehow managed to catch a cold in 90 degree weather. so weird. how many times have i been sick so far this year? nuts! i have stuff to do. i do not have time to be sick. not that there is much of a choice i guess . . .  but i digress. onto this week's top 5.

1. can't hardly wait . . . 

for the second season of Orange is the New Black! after binge watching the first season last fall, i have been impatiently awaiting its return. june 6th baby!

it comes out the day before our big day. the dude asked me what i want to do the day after the i do's (we extended our hotel stay since we aren't honeymooning right away), and my answer was something along the lines of, "relax, enjoy being newlyweds, eat, sleep, repeat, and watch Orange is the New Black." lol funny thing is, i could totally see us actually doing that!




2. it's the little things . . . 

that make me smile :)

like this goofy drawing of olaf (from disney's frozen) as belle, from beauty & the beast. artist cherie potter has a deep rooted love for all-things frozen and all-things disney. choosing a favorite "olaf makeover" is so tough because they are all so darn cute! her belle rendition is one of my top three at the moment.

want to see more of her work? check out here tumblr, dailyolaf, for more frozen fun.

3. it's like magic . . .

the healing powers of this fine moisturizer are currently saving my life. or less dramatically, soothing my eczema ridden skin. i broke out into hives tuesday night, and have been battling a face to toe (no exaggeration here) eczema outbreak ever since. TMI, i know, but that is current life for this girl. with year-round environmental allergies and food related triggers, both of which i have diligently been keeping in check (or so i thought), i am 100% stumped as to what could possibly be the culprit behind this unpleasant craziness. ce la vie, i suppose . . . 

any eczema sufferers out there who have random, unexplained flare ups? do you have any miracle cures you swear by?

think you may have eczema and/or want to learn more about it? this site is a really great resource, although visiting a doctor is always a good idea if you have questions or concerns.


4. can i get a round of applause . . . 

for demi lovato?!! so many women, men, girls, and boys are affected by body image issues. in the words of cady haron, "calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier." it can however, make that person more body conscious, depressed, at risk for self harm, etc . . . society today could really use a lesson in acceptance and sending out love over hate. i give no cares as to how hippy that may sound. 

so glad to see that miss demi could turn the negativity of that comment around. great lesson in not letting the "world" of social media get under your skin.

5. i'm bringing . . . sexy back?

naps actually haha. kind of. i can usually stay on top of increasingly long work days no prob, but as i mentioned before, the germs got me. this body is sort of like a prison right now. so really, i am at the mercy of this microbial terrorists. napping throughout the day = life saver.

work a little. nap. take the pups out. nap. fix a delicious snack that i cannot smell. nap . . . you get it ;)

well, it's about that time. nyquil is calling my name.

sweet dreams. don't let the sick germs bite!

peace. love. :)
yay
