Welcome

Friday Five 12.17.21

December 17, 2021

Another Friday Five post! I think I’m going to do these every other week, just to keep things spaced out a little more. I also might share a brief overview of my Friday Five over on my Instagram stories, just so more people know the post is out each week!

Cranberry Raspberry Spindrift

We picked up the cranberry raspberry spindrift flavor just in time for Christmas, and it’s been such a festive treat to look forward to each day! I used to be obsessed with cranberry sprite when I was younger, but it’s definitely way too sweet for me now. This is the perfect compromise of festive, sparkly flavor without the overwhelming sweetness.

Glass Cups

Also on that note, I’ve been really into all kinds of drink ware recently. Preston and I went to Ikea the other day, and I was mainly only interested in all the glassware. I was especially eyeing all the glass mugs and glasses. Sadly, Ikea delivery for small items isn’t really handy, but here are a few other sets I think look good.

Set of 6 Coffee Mugs

Set of 4 Tall Coffee Mugs

Set of 2 Espresso Cups

Barre3

I finally became a Barre3 member again, and I couldn’t be happier about it. It’s truly the only workout I consistently look forward to, and just seeing several familiar faces in the studio has been so helpful in feeling more at home here in California. Even though it obviously costs more money than working out at home, it’s been so good for me physically and mentally, so it’s definitely worth it. I want to work on a post featuring my favorite workout pieces to wear to barre class, so be on the lookout for that!

Our podcast is back!

Nice to Have a Friend is officially back after a two-month long hiatus. That was the longest break we’ve ever taken, but it definitely was a needed break for both of us. Make sure to get caught up on the latest episode and stay tuned for lots of fun episodes coming up in the next few weeks!

You can find the podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts, or you can listen on our website.

Advent Calendars

One of the beauties of me recently joining Tiktok is seeing daily unboxings of everyone’s advent calendars. We are doing it for the first time ever this year, and somehow we ended up with three? Haha, we have been doing a Harry Potter lego one, a Nespresso pods one and a Trader Joe’s chocolate one that we actually quit doing very early on because the chocolate was so bad! The Trader Joe’s one was only $.99, so I’m not very upset about it!!

I think next year I want to continue with the lego one, the coffee one and also consider adding the Bonne Maman jam calendar I’ve been seeing all over my tikok. It’s everything I never knew I needed! I am linking this year’s which is obviously sold out, but hopefully I can get it next year!

Thanks for tuning in to this edition of Friday Five 🙂
