Friday Favorites - Links I Love

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Hope you find some of these as enjoyable/interesting as I did. 

1. This DIY is amazingly easy (and inexpensive) but has such a rich result. I'm on the lookout for the right vase....(abeautifulmess.com)
2. I find it hard enough to raise a toddler in an apartment, I can't imaging raising THREE on a boat. But an amazing way to experience the world (hopefully they're remember some of it.) Oh, and I want to know what these parent's job(s) are. (theplaidzebra.com)
3. Style lessons from the queen of style we all wish we had, Carrie Bradshaw. (popsugar.com)
4. It's a great time, professionally and nationally, to be Laverne Cox. (yahoo.com)
5. Home-state pride, in this delicate and versatile jewelry piece.  They have all 50 states, so you could wear your history around your neck. (joyus.com)
6. Every time I look there's a new genius app out there, making life a bit easier (or harder, depending on how you look at it, lol.)  Keep up to speed with this great list of time saving apps for your organization, wellness, travel, shopping, and entertainment. (goop.com)
7. People get creative with the most mundane things.  This is for those of you who LOVE your coffee so much, you want kiss it. (behance.net)

Hello Friday - Links I Love

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead.  Here are some fun things I came across on the web this week.
 

1. I will probably have to invest in all three of these products.  We all know how important it is to use sunscreen daily, which it think (hope) most of us do first thing with our daily face application.  But the proper use of sunscreen requires reapplication during the day. Who does that once their makeup is on?  These products help solve that problem.
2. Even if you don't have kids, if you've ever been around them, you can sympathize and join in the laughter found on this Instagram account: average parent problems.
3. I am excited to look now for cheap, cute little dishes (99 cent store maybe?) and get some rope and beads and make these darling hanging planters.  Hanging planters are a perfect way to add more greenery to your home while keeping it baby-safe.  These look so easy!
4. Just a little interesting fact explaining the purpose of the extra lace hole in your gym shoes. Huh, who knew?
