Do you ever feel guilty for wishing away the workweeks just to land yourself on a Friday?
Me too. :)
Here we are again and I am thrilled to say we've done 22 (!) Five On Friday link-ups thus far ... thank each and every one of you who have linked up once with us! Anybody out there linked up all twenty-two times? I think there are definitely some of you ... you rock!
Here are my five today.

This weekend we have a total fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants schedule, and I'm okay with that. All this gal is begging for is an alarm-clock free Saturday morning ... is there anything better? I'm not even a late sleeper, but to be able to wake on my own when it's not pitch black dark outside would be pretty swell. So yay for laid-back weekends!

The best thing to ask a girl with great hair is "how do you get your great hair" and that's exactly what I did to a coworker last week. She swears by this Remington wand so I went right out and bought it. It's a fairly inexpensive version at $25 and I've been amazed at how long it truly holds a curl as opposed to my traditional curling iron. I still do love my hot rollers (circa 1980s, they were Mom's) but this gives a totally different type of curl. I might want to experiment with one with a thicker barrel next ... which one do ya'll like?

Did you know that every Friday I have a tradition of going to Marshall's on my lunch break? Yep, every. single. week. One of the cashiers there is so sweet and she says "see you next Friday!" A lot of times I walk out empty-handed, but still -- it's therapeutic to me.

Easy comfort-food dinners are where it's at, and this one is a favorite. Thaw chicken breasts or tenderloins, drizzle with olive oil and add some S+P, top with marinara sauce and shake on some breadcrumbs, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Top with sliced fresh mozzarella (seriously, go with fresh here) and basil leaves, back in the oven it goes for 10 minutes. Done and done.

I'd like to paint the interior of our front doors black, and let it be known that my foyer looks about 180 degrees different than this one. But just for a visual ... doesn't this just make such a statement? What's your vote, should I go for it? Have you given it a shot? Seems like it's "the" thing to do with interiors now. :)
I think a lot of you know how this works but if you are new to the party, please join this link-up along with me and my beautiful co-hostesses -- Darci, Natasha, and Christina. Playing along is simple! Just write a post 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. It's a great way of meeting new friends and getting more eyes on your cute blog!
I'm torn on a wand or an iron. I have a Hot Tools curling iron that I love but my hair looses curl pretty quickly so I'm not sure if I should try a wand next or not.
ReplyDeleteI love my Sulta curling wand! They have a 1.5 inch size that is amazing. A little pricey but I think worth it if you curl your hair often. Thanks for the recipe! Going to try it out next week :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the black doors and I will definitely be adding that dish to our menu next week!
ReplyDeleteThat dinner looks amazing! Also, I think I may have to try that hair wand.
ReplyDeleteI love walking around Marshalls and TJ Maxx too, even if I don't buy anything! I've been really loving the fall and Christmas decor they've got going on. Love that black door too!
ReplyDeleteYou and LuLu should meet up at Marshall's sometimes. She frequents that place on lunch breaks too! Probably more than Fridays!! haaa
ReplyDeleteMy first time joining in! Gonna try that curling iron and I LOVE MARSHALLS!!!! They know me too :)
ReplyDeleteI will be trying out the wand for sure now! I am a sucker for hot rollers too but my hair loses the curl so quickly. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteman! that chicken dish looks deee-lish! hah. i crack myself up!
ReplyDeleteyes yes and yes to the black foyer door!! :)
ReplyDeleteretail therapy is the best kind :)
ReplyDeletehappy shopping!!!
1-I pinned your "Happy Weekend" print already. Just LOVE it.
ReplyDelete2-that chicken dish look s deelissshhh
3-I painted our front door black and I LOVE it! It's a great way to define the space!
Happy Weekend!
yes- paint your door black! It's on my list of things to do for the house and seems easy enough to tackle in an afternoon. I am already imagining the statement it will make. That chicken recipe sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteWe actually just painted the door from our garage to our kitchen black, and I love it! I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how you are able to find such amazing things at Marshalls! I guess the trick is to go regularly! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy (alarm free) weekend!
Wow what an easy dinner idea - love this! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteBargain shopping, there is nothing better! I love perusing Marshalls, TJs, Homegoods, etc. on the regular. Have a fabulous, low-key weekend!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the idea of painting the front door black! I'm also totally with you on the sleeping in -thing :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I love a painted front door...just haven't found the time to do it for ourselves!
ReplyDeleteAnd that chicken parmesan looks delicious...yummo!
1. I am 'afeared' of that wand! I feel like I would be more likely to get an awkward hickey burn with that thing!
ReplyDelete2. I personally would not paint my interior front door black only because it would impact the crown molding in our entryway. But that is me! Sometimes something different is good in a home.
3. Chicken parm is always a delicious treat!

I need to try that curling wand- everyone raves about them! A plans free weekend sounds perfect! Love the black door- if you think it works with the space I say go for it.
ReplyDeleteI have a wand and love it! I think it is a hot tools, it's from Target! And thanks for that recipe, sounds delish! :)
ReplyDeleteThe interior of our front door is painted black and we really like it! The remainder are white.
ReplyDeleteMy curling wand is one of my favorite hair tools...it really holds curl SO WELL.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe looks amazing and so simple...thanks for sharing!!
Have a great weekend!
I think I need to invest in a good curling wand... it might make my hair styling go a little faster. I'll check that one out next time I'm at Target. :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

I'm always looking for good chicken recipes and this sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI bought a wand and I can't get the hang of it for the LIFE OF ME! It's such an easy concept but I find it so difficult to use and a curling iron 10x easier! Perhaps I'm just slow ha!
ReplyDeleteSultra Bombshell, baby. I love it. Curls last for days.
ReplyDeleteI will try your chicken recipe... it looks delicious!
I have a Conair YouCurl wand. I think it tapers from an inch and a half to an inch. It works really well for me and holds my curl throughout the evening. I do not like traditional curling irons. I can never figure out how to work them without getting clamp marks in my hair!
