Fan of Fridays


It's Friday! We've conquered another week! Work wise, it was a pretty steady week with my hours filled from the moment I walked in to when I left in the evenings. Socially, it was kind of hectic, but in a good way- full of friends, delicious food, and tiny but tasty drinks. We are one month out from the bar results and I think we're all growing cognizant of that fact. I had my first freak out yesterday which does not bode well for the rest of the month!

But overall, October is hands down my favorite month. It's the first month it starts feeling fall-ish in Texas. There's football, pumpkin spice, and riding boots all over the place and it's my birthday month!

Here are some things I'm a fan of this Friday:

1. They found water on Mars! It's crazy to think about how long we've been exploring the planet (comparatively) and we're just now noticing this. Makes me wonder what else might be hiding up there....

2. This month, Sephora has an Origin sample box as their 500-point gift and included was the Checks and Balances face wash. HOLY COW YOU GUYS, I highly recommend hustling on over to Sephora and getting your hands on this. It smells like a peppermint and feels like silk. Not to mention, my face has felt so smooth and clean since I've started using it.

3.  The weather is finally starting to cool down in Texas which means boots are back in my life! I'll be doing a post about my favorites soon, but just having them sitting in the closet instead of packed away brightens my day!

4. The HONY series on Syrian refugees. For those of us not directly impacted by what's happening abroad, it's hard to fathom what these people are going through and exactly what is happening overseas. Brandon from HONY is interviewing refugees as they arrive in Greece as well as Grecians who are offering their help. The result is the most emotional, powerful series I've seen on HONY. Definitely worth a look if you haven't seen it yet.

Hoping everyone has a great weekend!

  2. Finally Fall is here, it's a time where everything starts to cool off. I'm so sick of this heat. It also seems like you got a pretty awesome gift pack from Sephora.

    1. Same here! Thankfully, the weather is a little cooler now :) I'm counting down the days until I can break out the cardigans again.

  3. I got an email about that Origins sample pack and didn't think I needed it...but now you're making me question that decision! I may just have to give that product a try!

    1. I'd definitely recommend it! ! I think I got lucky since I was looking for a new face wash at the time too and this seemed like a good way to test before committing. Now I just have to figure out when I'm going to make it back down there to buy the full sized version!

  4. I love HONY! When Brandon came to Pakistan, I couldn't stop wishing to bump into him on any random street or cafe or literally anywhere, haha! The Syrian stories are so emotional yet optimistic. There are so many people out there who are bravely facing all the things war has brought.

    1. I know exactly what you mean! Every time I go to New York, I secretly hope I'm going to run into him but then again, I don't know what I'd say if I did! His new series has definitely given me so much admiration for the people going through this tragedy. I love the way he can capture the very best of people through their worst moments.
