I’m leaving proper after the boys’ college drop offs at the moment so let’s dive proper into at the moment’s roundup of Friday favorites, we could?
Issues I’m Loving Friday
My pores and skin and lips have been next-level dry this winter. Fortunately, I’ve been utilizing two merchandise I believe I are serving to restore some much-needed hydration to my face and lips. I discussed this lip masks final yr and proceed to consider it really works wonders on my lips once they really feel dry, tight and cracked. I simply smear it throughout my lips earlier than mattress at night time and inside two days they really feel sooo significantly better.
A brand new-to-me discovery has been this Youth to the Individuals Dream Masks. Ryan and my sister really each gifted me the very same hydrating masks for Christmas and clearly each know me properly as a result of it’s shortly develop into one thing I crave rubbing into my face earlier than mattress at night time. It’s like a big glass of intense hydration on your face, however creamier, richer and extra luxurious than your typical facial moisturizer. You apply it like lotion — simply rub it into your pores and skin — and my face appears to suck it up immediately. It makes use of a mixture of unpolluted elements to revive dehydrated pores and skin, goal dullness and uneven pores and skin tone, and locks in moisture for glowy, extra plump-looking pores and skin. This masks will likely be an instantaneous re-order for me once I run out.
I used to be toying with ordering the viral rotary cheese grater for months and at last pulled the plug once I noticed @ourhomepaige speak about how straightforward it was to scrub. When Paige confirmed how straightforward this grater was to interrupt down and talked about how one can throw every thing within the dishwasher, I used to be bought. You guys, I can not inform you how a lot use I’ve been getting out of this factor since I first ordered it again in September. (I haven’t taken my meals processor out one time since then as a result of this factor is 1,000,000 occasions extra handy and straightforward to scrub.) I assumed I’d use it most for shredding cheese (store-bought shredded cheese is pricier and likewise makes use of anti-caking brokers which I don’t freak out about an excessive amount of but when I can shred my very own, I assumed why not?) however I’ve used it essentially the most for veggies! It makes shredding carrots a breeze (I like shredding carrots and apples for a scrumptious slaw) and super-thin sliced cucumbers are fantastic in cucumber salads. The boys additionally love serving to with this one and it’s shortly develop into a kind of kitchen instruments that far surpassed my expectations.

Discuss a genius little hack! I noticed this concept on Instagram for extending the size of your tops for a layered look and couldn’t order it quick sufficient. You see what seems like a button-up white shirt underneath my crimson sweater within the above pic? It’s actually identical to somewhat half-shirt! So sensible, proper? I like a layered look however don’t all the time need the added bulk or warmth from extra clothes underneath my sweaters so this was such a enjoyable discover for me! I additionally like it for including size to my sweaters if I’m sporting them with leggings and don’t need my booty out. For measurement reference, I’m sporting a medium and it’s somewhat longer within the again than it’s within the entrance.
I’m reporting for Pepper on this one! We gave Pepper this Chilly Penguin toy for Christmas (sure, our pets get a Christmas shock or two as properly) and he or she completely flips for this factor! We fill it with rooster broth, freeze it after which give it to Pepper as a particular deal with and the minute she sees this vivid blue penguin coming her method, she will get so, so excited. We’ve stuffed it with a smear of Buddy Budder as properly and I believe Pepper’s entire world is somewhat happier when she has a peanut butter-filled penguin in her life.
