Five on Friday

Woo Hoo! TGIF! Here's what's on my radar for the weekend.

• I have my first Stella & Dot show this weekend. I'd really love to earn back in commission what I invested earlier this month, and thanks to some early orders (placed by my beautiful family members) I'm on my way there. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - click the link if you want to spoil yourself a little bit this weekend!  

• I have girls night tonight with some other Army wives/girlfriends. I'm so excited to have real girlfriends down here and am happy I'm not stuck at home alone while L has staff duty.

• Speaking of friends, a fellow Army Wife let me use some of her GlamGlow and I am ob-sessed. I had seen it on Pinterest, then on Turquoise and Teale, Ashley gushed about it. I knew I had to try it. C put some in a tupperware container for me and I finally used it this week. I didn't leave it on long enough, but I could see a difference even after 5 minutes. The blackheads on my nose, chin, and forehead were all cleared up and my skin felt so much better. It's a little expensive (it's cheaper on Amazon) but worth it!

• Since L has to work some long hours this weekend so I'm hoping to get through some to-dos while he catches up on rest. I'm trying to tackle the laundry room - it's so daunting! And I want to do so much to organize but just can't find what I'm envisioning in my head.

• I'm planning the menu for Sunday and I'm excited to do some cooking. I'm going to make Elizabeth at A Carolina Mrs's jalapeno poppers, spinach dip with hawaiian bread (a family recipe - stay tuned!), Becky at A Girl and Her Sparkles' mini cheesecakes (except with an oreo crust), some cheese spread, and some Girl Scout Cookies. (I can't wait to go out and buy all the cookies I can afford. Especially after all these kooks trying to keep them down. As a 13 year Girl Scout, I know how much the organization can teach a young woman. The empowerment, the responsibility, the confidence. These scouts deserve to feel supported and not ridiculed.)

 I hope everyone has a great weekend!
