Favorite Things Friday

Hi there, and happy Friday!! 


It's raining cats and dogs [or should I say: Es regnet in Strömen], and that kinda put a damper on my plans to lounge around in the sunshine, reading a book. Sad. Anyway, on to the blog post. 


As usual, I've got a list of my Five Favorite Things this week. I thought I'd talk about some things that get me excited for this summer! DISCLAIMER: I may or may not have gone a little "Polyvore Happy" with this post... please don't kill me. 

1. These beauty products from avon. I cannot even express to you how effective these products are, and they are fabulous for those of us with dry skin. I'm sure they're great for people with combination/oily skin, too, but I can't speak for everyone.

2. Maxi Skirts. I don't actually own one [yet] - I blame it on my giant-ness, but the second I get home, I'm gonna buy some material and whip one [or five] of these puppies out on my sewing machine.

3. Retro swimwear. I guess I've got a thing for retro, and I had no idea. I'm not sure that I would be active in any of these suits... but they're cute for a day at the beach or lounging by the pool.

4. Bermuda shorts. Most of the time, these make my knees look knobby, but they're comfy enough that I don't particularly care. I love going out and being active in the summer, and I love wearing clothes that allow me to do that. I'll pass on the heels and pick the tennis shoes instead, thankyouverymuch.

5. Smoothies!!!!! Because, seriously. Who would pass up a frickin' smoothie when it's 100 degrees outside? You would? Girrrlllll, you crazy.
