Favorite Things Friday.

Hola Chicas (and Chicos... if 1. that is actually a word and 2. any of you are actually reading my blog)!


Happy June!!! It's Friday (thank freaking goodness), and, of course, I have a list of some of my favorite things. Before that, though, I have some mini-announcements.

If you hadn't already noticed - I've got some pretty amazing people on my sidebar, so you may want to check them out. You'll be introduced to them throughout the month, but if you just can't wait, I suggest clickety-clicking their buttons.


Signup for Christmas in July is here. We have 80 people so far... let's spread the word and keep it growing!


So... Remember how I went on vacation forever ago and never really talked about it because 1. I didn't want you all to get sick of it and 2. I didn't want to get sick of it? Well, I remember, so I'm going to tell you my favorite things about Edinburgh (that's in Scotland, for you geographically challenged folk).

1. HARRY POTTER! Okay, so... in case you didn't know, Edinburgh is the birthplace of my homie, HP. Obviously I had to take a picture next to the glorious cafe where the magic happened.

2. The Castle. Okay, so I didn't actually go inside (we are far too cheap, plus it was closed for some reason or another), but it's beautiful on the outside. We all know that outer beauty is all that counts (if you thought I was being serious there, please punch yourself in the face... or arm, because that's less violent).

3. Jubilee Fish and Chips. I hate fish. I thought chips were potato chips (because I suck at British English and only realized that they were actually fries like, when we got to the UK). There's a little chippy in Edinburgh called Jubilee, and they make the best fish and chips ever, period. Do not argue with me. If I was willing to eat fish and like it, then they win. Which... I did, so they did. 

Also... I'm aware that this is a horrible picture - it was pitch black outside and I was in the car. That fish took up my entire lap. 


4. The city itself. Does that even count? I don't care, it's my list... I can put whatever I want in here. Anyway, I'm absolutely in love with this city and fully plan on living there someday - I promise I will.

5. The red phone booths. Yes, I realize they are everywhere in the UK. I also realize that I don't care - the ones in Edinburgh are the best, because those are the ones I'm talking about. Duh.

Before I ask my clever little question at the end of this post, I would like to make a little announcement: I'm planning on having a huge giveaway when I reach 500 followers. Apparently that may happen somewhat soonish if you guys don't randomly decide to hate me and run away. If you would like to give ANYTHING away, BIG or small, tangible or in the virtual world, PLEASE let me know by sending me an email. Prizes can be anything from ad space, to a blog design, to a shop credit, to a gift card, to a book, to whatever else your genius brain can think of. This would be awesome exposure for your shop and/or blog, plus... prizes and giveaways are fun, are they not?


That will be the first and last time I solicit you all via the blog.

So... What are some of your favorite things this week?
