Friday Favs

Happy Friday and 1st day of August which means it's officially my birthday month!

1.) My job had our summer party last night. Open bar, good food, and great peeps. And one of my co-workers is working on launching her own business of butters and ice cream which we all got to sample... YUM!



2.) Finally tried out a great lunch place near my work this week that I've been curious about and it was delish!



3.) Made another trip to the new Trader Joes this week, and tried out a red wine this time. Just as yummy! Of course I also picked up some new cookie butter and decided to try out the crunchy version.




4.) A new blow dry bar is opening up near by, I think it's time for me to start treating myself to some blowouts!







5.) Tickets are officially booked for my first Cubs game at Wrigley. Can't wait to conquer another baseball stadium with Emily during our 1st trip to Chi-town.



Linking up today with Lauren for High Five on Friday and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Hop on over and join us! Happy Friday!

  5. Open bar on the job? Sounds great!! Do you know I don't even know what cookie butter is? Do you just bake cookies with it? It's another google it moment. Have a great weekend?

  9. Oh cookie butter!! I've not had the TJ brand, but as far as I'm concerned you probably can't really go wrong... The Biscoff crunchy version is my favorite and my dog's too! I hope you enjoy Wrigley! It really is an amazing park. My husband and I try to make a game each year! Be sure to stick around the field and enjoy some of the bars and nightlife! Sluggers is a great piano bar that is a LOT of fun!

  10. OMG! I have been going to Drybar and it is amazing! I actually posted about it in my five! Also, your TJ's has WINE? WTF? Mine doesn't! I am so jealous right now! I cant wait to see your pics from Wrigley Field! I take my hubby to a different park each year for his birthday to watch the Yankees play an away game. I posted about that, too. Our posts today are similar, lol! Have a great weekend!
