Five on Friday: A Link-up!






  Helloooo Friday!! I wish I had a more clever intro for this post but am lacking in the creativity department this week. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have 5 great things to share! Shall we get down to it?


 



 
– ONE – I think one of the best things about this week was the fact that I am already down 4 pounds from my salt-free diet. I’ve never been able to lose weight before without starving myself so this came as a surprise. Well I have to be honest, kicking salt has realllly limited the foods I can eat so I guess I kind of am starving myself to an extent. I’ve been eating lots of plain oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, a medley of black beans, rice, avocado, onion and tomato for lunch, fresh fruits and veggies for snacks, salads for dinner and Greek yogurt popsicles for dessert. Plus I’ve been putting in my time at the gym each day. So hopefully some of those LBs aren’t just water weight!


– TWO – You may remember my splurge on Benefit’s they’re real Mascara I wrote about {here}. Although I absolutely love the product, it’s just too expensive for daily use. So I am saving it for the weekends and going back to the old faithful Maybelline Great Lash. Lucky for me, I scored several tubes at Ulta for $1.99/each this week!




– THREE – I owe so many of you a huge “thank you” for posting your
favorite summer reads. And because it would only be fair to share, I’ve
compiled all of the recommendations below in case you need a new book to
dig into too:

– FOUR – I thought I’d showcase a few of my most favorite office supplies. Can you tell I love color? The brightness doesn’t stop at just my supplies, I keep my whole office colorful. Hey, if I am going to spend 8 hours a day in one spot it should be bright and pretty! You can find other posts about my office decor {here} and {here}!




  – FIVE – I am totally obsessed with my polka dot planner {from Target, of course}. Maybe it’s because August is definitely panning out to be the best month yet this year – two vacations, an engagement, a trip home and big changes for the hubby {his law firm was acquired by a larger firm in town – so proud}!
