Issues I’m Loving Friday
these little issues that annoy you however you by no means actually do something about after which when you do, you’re like whyyy did that take me so lengthy? That was me with the syrup state of affairs in our home. We use maple syrup fairly ceaselessly for waffles and pancakes but additionally in recipes (particularly my complete wheat pumpkin muffins + these spinach banana muffins) and I used to be at all times a little bit aggravated by the way in which it will drip everywhere in the sides of the container after which harden right into a sticky mess. Throughout a summertime journey to Florida, I observed a syrup dispenser in my sister’s fridge and instantly ordered one for our household. Why didn’t I ever consider this earlier than!? I’m pleased to report that this factor works like a appeal with zero drippy maple syrup messes.
I do know I may simply say “look, I obtained a brand new telephone case” however the phrases “telephone makeover” popped into my head and I needed to lean into this ridiculousness. I not too long ago swapped out my previous telephone case for a deep burgundy case (+ this matching battery pack + MagSafe grip ring) that felt extra applicable for fall/winter months and it’s making me so pleased. Can a telephone have a comfy/eclectic aesthetic as a result of that’s what I really feel like my telephone is giving proper now.
I additionally ordered these beaded gemstone cellphone wrist straps (on this rainbow coloration + this adventurine inexperienced coloration) primarily as a result of I believed they had been so fairly however they’ve been such an awesome addition from a performance standpoint, too. Like it all!
One in all you really useful R.E.M. Magnificence Shiny Balm to me once I talked about how a lot I like ph-activated lip balms. I feel the way in which they work together with your physique’s pure chemistry to provide the excellent shade of pink on your lips is simply the best and this gloss in a short time blew me away. It transforms from a ph-adaptive sky blue coloration to a beautiful, glowy pink inside 15 seconds and the colour LASTS. I’m additionally tremendous delicate to lip glosses and lip stains/lipsticks feathering as I discover the strains round my lips rising with age and this one retains coloration on the lips and appears so recent and exquisite. It’s a kind of merchandise I by no means would’ve ordered had one among you not really useful it so extremely (I imply it’s BLUE) however I’ll 100% be re-ordering this one when it runs out.
(Rainbow Beaded Appeal / Gold Preliminary Appeal)
I’ve by no means been one to draw back from coloration in my clothes an equipment however typically I discover myself reaching for neutrals as a result of they combine and match properly and aren’t as memorable as, say, exhibiting up in the identical purple jumpsuit day after day. Nonetheless, once I’m carrying neutrals from head to toe, typically I really feel like my outfit is a little bit boring and prefer to jazz it up with jewellery, equipment, and, extra not too long ago, bag charms! I first observed bag charms once I was looking the Clare V. web site (a harmful place to browse as a result of their luggage are attractive) and was thrilled when my buddy Lauren gave me an cute Clare V. yellow flower bag tag/fob for my birthday.

This unlocked my love for bag charms and I’ve since added a number of extra to my assortment, together with this rainbow beaded appeal and this gold preliminary appeal. They add an ideal pop of coloration to my luggage and I really like the playful, pleased look they add to a crossbody, a handbag, a tote, and so forth., particularly when the colour is in any other case a little bit plain or impartial.
We went apple selecting with mates throughout our mini mountain trip final weekend and sadly the orchard was hit with a hail storm so their apples had been all lined in blemishes. They nonetheless style nice and work properly for recipes however aren’t the very best for snacking. This implies we’re making a LOT of apple recipes in our home and, for the primary time ever, we gave selfmade apple cider a strive! I adopted the On the spot Pot model of this recipe from the weblog Gimme Some Oven and it made our complete home odor wonderful. It tasted like fall in a cup and all of us cherished it! I type of thought we’d have the ability to get away with out including a lot sweetener however we undoubtedly wanted the really useful quantity of sweetener as our apples had been moderately tart!
Style: Romance / My ranking: B+
Abby Jimenez’s books are so darn pleasant to learn. Her characters are humorous and likable and I’ll perpetually sing her praises because the queen of dialog as a result of the banter between her characters is humorous, candy and not-at-all tacky like so many different romance novels. Whereas Say You Keep in mind Me was not my favourite of her novels, it was nonetheless a guide that made me chuckle and felt like an awesome little escape, particularly after Damaged Nation which was definitely a heavier learn.
Synopsis from Amazon: There’s no such factor as an ideal man, however Xavier Rush comes disastrously shut. A stunning veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all whereas cuddling a tiny kitten? Fast sure. That’s till Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say absolutely the incorrect factor. Like, actually incorrect. After all, there’s nothing Samantha loves greater than proving an asshole incorrect . . . until, in fact, he can admit he made a mistake.
However after one unimaginable and seemingly countless date, Samantha is compelled to confess the reality, that her household is in disaster and any type of relationship can be unattainable. Samantha begs Xavier to overlook her. To recollect their night time collectively as an ideal second, as crushing as that could be. Solely no quantity of distance or time is sufficient to overlook what’s between them. And the one factor higher than one single excellent reminiscence is to make a life—and even a love—price remembering.
Style: Thriller/Suspense / My ranking: B
This guide is a kind of books I preferred sufficient to maintain studying however loved barely much less the additional I obtained into the story. I believed the premise was actually attention-grabbing — a university scholar interviews a person dying of most cancers who was convicted of homicide a long time in the past and begins to consider he could be as harmless as he insists — and actually loved the way in which the writer weaves parts like complicated household relationships and a foremost character you can not assist however actually root for into the story. The guide began to lose me when it felt a little bit too predictable and nearly sloppy (like an excessive amount of occurring all of sudden or one thing?) nonetheless I learn that that is the writer’s first novel and it intrigued me sufficient to learn extra from the writer sooner or later.
Oatmeal Apple Crisp (We went apple selecting with mates throughout our journey to the mountains final week and this was the very first thing we made! Without end and at all times our favourite, particularly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!)
Cinnamon Apple Pie Ice Cream (The recipe we’ll be making with our remaining apple haul this weekend!)
