As always, I hope you'll join me along with Darci, Natasha, and Christina ... playing along is simple! Just write a blog about five things on your mind today, anything goes really, post the logo below on your blog, and then enter your post address below in the link-up section. If you don't have a blog, please leave your five in the comments below so I can read them!

Girly food. Last night I had two girlfriends over for dinner, and by dinner I mean appetizers and wine! I used this platter that I received from Ian's grandmother, and I served green grapes, strawberries, and brie cups three ways. The phyllo dough cups had regular brie, brie with honey and salted peanuts, and brie with cherry preserves. The girls brought amazing appetizers as well, and we just picked and sipped all night. It was perfect!

So here are the girlfriends I just mentioned. Let it be known: I just love these girls. Christina from Carolina Charm and Laura from Our Life In The Queen City are two very, very sweet gals who I just click with. There is definitely something to be said about finding friends like that! Especially when you meet ONLINE (ha!). Thank goodness for bloggers!
We may have had a little hair party going on in my bedroom.

And I loved every minute.

Sally Girl mini nail polishes. These nail polishes are super inexpensive but really fun. You get them from Sally Beauty Supply and they are $0.99! The color goes on opaque and smoothly from the colors I've purchased so far. With a topcoat of Seche Vite, they look so professional and are long-lasting! I gave the girls their own bottles last night of one of my favorite coral colors.

I popped in to Aldi yesterday and they had the most stunning two-foot orchids for $4.99. If you are an orchid lover, you know this price is INSANE. I got this perfectly white orchid and I love how the backs of the flowers are a light lavender color. For less than a Starbucks trip, this was such a find.

Sweet Christina gave me this coconut shampoo that smells absolutely delicious! Our co-hostess for this linkup Darci is also a big fan and I can't wait to try it out! I love anything coconut and I've also been on a sulfate-free shampoo kick, so this was such a sweet surcee.

That's my five for the day ... I am super stoked about the weekend (and a relaxing one at that!). Happy Friday to you, and I can't wait to read your five!
I love that shampoo!! It smells like the beach :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I love the mini polishes, such a cute touch.
ReplyDeleteYour IG pics of the sock buns inspired me to rock a huge one today...along with some sparkly earings. CHEERS to Friday!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you inspired me to post my 5! http://www.fantasgreat.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI may check out Aldi today. Thanks for the tip on the orchids!
ReplyDeleteLove the coconut shampoo, too! I always get compliments on how shiny and healthy my hair looks when I use it!
ReplyDeleteI love those cocktail napkins from girls' night! I might have to stop by our local Aldi to see if there are any pretty flowers...I had a bad experience with Aldi in Tennessee, maybe it's time to try again!
ReplyDeleteI found DOUBLE sized Organix shampoo/conditioner at Bed Bath & Beyond at the beginning of the summer and have been *obsessed*. My hair's so soft and shiny, I really might just keep using it!
ReplyDeleteman, if last night had not have happened, I might be "One on Friday"! hahaha
ReplyDeletexoxox, have a great great weekend, friend!
Last night was PERFECT! And those brie cups were ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteLet's do it again soon!
PS - hope the girls held this morning. :)
The Organix Coconut Milk hair products are my absolute favorite! I use them at night, post-gym, so I'm not only using great products but I can let my hair air-dry and smell the coconut-y goodness all night! Such a great find for the price.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously-- little nail polish favors for girls night? That's the cutest!
Great times! I love orchids too, that's a great deal! And I'll have to try that shampoo. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI may need to run to local Aldi... I love orchids! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteLast night looks like it was a BLAST!! Girl time is good for the soul!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely weekend!
There are few things I love more than a girls night with girly food, fun nail polish colors, and lots of wine! What a perfect night!
ReplyDeleteThat is my current shampoo and conditioner! I also really love it in the middle of the winter when I could really use a tropical vaca ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's the shampoo I use and love it!
ReplyDeleteI so wish we had an Aldi around here! I am loving those orchids and all the other finds you post! Looks like a super fun girl's night last night! Hope y'all have a great weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour girls night looks like so much fun! I love how bloggers embrace each other and end up being real life friends!
ReplyDeleteAlso, looks like I need to get my butt to Aldi! What's your success rate on keeping Orchids alive, though? I'm sure I'll kill it immediately...
Have a great weekend!
So much on here that I love. Meeting friends from blogging is fabulous, and you girls certainly look like you're having a blast! I may have to steal your idea with the mini-polishes for some girlfriends..such a cute idea! :) That shampoo looks incredible. I've always been so lazy and continue to get the same kind for years. I may need to change it up a bit - thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThat shampoo sounds amazing! I love anything coconut!
ReplyDeletewhen we have our girls weekend you HAVE to teach me how to knot my hair like that please!!!!
ReplyDeletethose phyloo cups with brie and preserves are my go-to app...never can go wrong with those and they are easy peasy!!!
That food looks to die for! Yay for hanging out with girlfriends and that BEAUTIFUL orchid. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to have fun girly food and of course wine, wine is always a must! ;)
