Happy Friday! I cannot believe we have one more week of summer left before school starts. The calendar sure is filling up already and we are getting as organized as we can before all the open houses and meet the teacher nights next week. Anyone else’s shared calendar looking like a complete rainbow at this point?! Well, it’s my favorite day of the week today and I am so excited to be sharing a Fab Five Friday today. Now that I have moved my Fab Five Fridays to the end of the month, I’ve got lots to share. So let’s dive into it!
1. The Midnight Library
First on the list is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I finished this book in two days, I could not put it down. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year. I highly recommend and loved the message and all of the possibilities. Pick this one up for your next read or book club pick. You will not be disappointed.
2. Cherry Pitter
Ok, please don’t tell me that I am the last person on Earth to discover a Cherry Pitter. Cherries have been in season and we’ve been picking up a bag every week. Rylee and I both love them; they make for the sweetest snack and most satisfying dessert. We were chatting with a neighbor about them and complaining about the pits, when she mentioned a “cherry pitter”. I immediately took to Amazon to get one of my own, and it’s a game changer. Being able to take a big bite of a full cherry is divine. You must add to your kitchen repertoire stat.
3. Oath Nutrition Clear Protein
We all know the deal about protein these days. When I started hearing about “Clear Protein” I was really curious. I’m not always in the mood for a chocolate shake, so having another way to get protein in sounded really intriguing. I tried a sample pack of Oath’s Clear Protein – Frosty Lemonade flavor, and I was floored with how delicious it was. There are so many brands and options out there, but as I compared pricing and serving sizes (and I loved the taste of this brand) and I highly recommend this one from Amazon. It’s a great option for dessert, too… it’s that good!
4. Beauty by Earth Self Tanning Lotion
Ok, you can’t always trust the influencing on social media, but I got influenced hard on this product and decided to take a chance on it. This lotion is amazing. I will 10,000 times recommend. It goes on white, just like typical lotion, but gives you the perfect golden tan that builds over time—without the streakiness of those foam tanners or the residual product rubbing off on your sheets. I ordered on Amazon first, just in case I had to return it and so that I didn’t have to sign up on another random site, but when I realized it was legit, I immediately ran to the Beauty by Earth site for their BOGO deal. They run them often, so check it out. Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean we still dont need to get our tan on!
5. OFFLINE by Aerie
OFFLINE by Aerie has become one of my go-tos for super light, comfortable and affordable athleisure attire. I love the waist of these shorts, they are so comfortable—wether you are sitting at your desk or hitting the gym. And they are so light and breathable, perfect for summer walks. They run small, so I size up to a medium in bottoms, but stay with small for tops. I love a good matching set and to be able to get one in this price point is such a great deal.
Thank you so much for stoping by this Fab Five Friday! I hope you have an amazing weekend.
