Wooooo it’s Friday!

That means time to power through the work day and then celebrate with some friends and drinks — am I right?

I’m extra excited because tonight the hubs and I are going to a show, which means some dancin’ is in our near future!

So to keep with the upbeat mood, I thought I’d share with you some of the fun things I’ve come across this week — a little all over the board. For you — and for him.

Enjoy —

What to impress / gift your partner with —

Trevor is so funny. He goes in waves when it comes to style. Definitely a stylish guy — but the level of time and effort he puts in comes about every quarter, aligning with the start of the season. Last week I caught him in the act of a little spring / summer stock-up. He was browsing instagram and websites I hadn’t heard of that happened to all be incredibly cool. So, if you’re in the market for a gift for your man or just want to share a new site for cool garb, check this brand out. Technologically advanced fabrics designed in South Korea for active use and active wear. A package arrived yesterday with this top and these pants and I gotta say — my boo did goooood.

What to add into your bedtime skincare routine 2-3 times per week —

I’m a lover of this podcast — for the banter between him and her, for the array of topics from sex to health and wellness, and for the skincare tips. I totally trust Lauryn on her product recommendations because she constantly tests them before promoting. Which is why I knew this facial steamer was going to be a hit in our household. Under $30 and the best feeling you’ve have before bed (besides sex) in awhile 😉 — this step to your weekly skincare routine is one you won’t want to pass up. No joke guys, stuff came out of my face. You know, the stuff you want out of those pores. So good.

What additional nightly skincare routine to add that reduces eye puffiness —

Ohhh do I love this brand. Always creating the best products for turning back the hands of time. I stumbled upon this jar of cucumber goodness at Sephora and when I decided to give it a try on my recent Chicago trip to help hide the fact that I was sooo tired from all the go, go go — I was soo pleased.

What great priced designer handbag brand to jump on now —

If you’re like me and always trying to seek out the new “it bag” without breaking the bank — look no more. This brand, my friends, is like a sequel to this beauty of a bucket bag. Structured architectural design, created in London and with a brand name that means “slow dance” in French — I mean come on. I bit the bullet and purchased this beautiful mini tote in white and I’m dyingggg every time I wear it. I love this pink and neutral two-tone version as well — both perfect for spring / summer.

What to add to your podcast playlist if you’re an influencer —

I’m almost embarrassed that I’m just now finding this — but hey, better late than ever (thank you Jenn for the tip!). This podcast is epic. It’s innovative, current and super inspiring for anyone trying to make a mark in this world as an influencer. With over 60 eps and the most amazing guests, it’s a guaranteed good listen. I love the latest with Chicago blogger Carly Cristman — what a confident and motivational babe.
