Friday Favorites

Yayyyyy!!  It's Friday and I hope you all have had a great week!  I am linking up again with Andrea, Erika, and Narci for some Friday Favorites :-)

 
#1 Cucumber & Lemon Water

My sister and I started a new 12-day detox this week.  Our eating habits have been out of control lately and we decided it was time to make some serious changes!  Part of our detox includes drinking a gallon of water each day.  And let me tell you, for someone who drinks a minimal amount of water, this is quite the challenge.  However, we stumbled across some detox water ideas and we've been adding cucumber and lemon...super yummy plus healthy!



 I found recipes here for a Watermelon & Mint detox and also Cucumber and Lime. Definitely going to be trying these out!


 


#2 Favorite Verse this Week

1 Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

I love this verse and think it's a great way to put in perspective the ways in which we are serving the Lord.  EVERYTHING we do, whether its serving others, studying for an exam, or working a 9-5 job, should be for the glory of God.  With this mindset, I think our outlook and actions all begin to look more like Christ, which ultimately should be our goal!  When I am starting to get a negative attitude about the crazy amount of studying I have to do or a not-so-favorite chore that needs to be done, I try to keep this scripture in mind.


#3 Leather

 I have been OBSESSED with leather lately!!  I feel like it can be worn for so many different occasions and you can make it super edgy or cute & chic.  Either way, it's to die for.  Here are a couple looks I found that I loveeeee:


 

#4 When I Was Your Man Cover by Thomas Rhett

Well first off, anything by Thomas Rhett can be considered a "favorite."  I love, love, love his music and recently he came out with a new cover for Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man."  I think this version is amazing and I love the fact that his wife Lauren is in the video (I have a major couple crush on them)! haha

#5 bareMinerals' 'Marvelous Moxie' Lipstick, "Lead the Way"

My mom got me this lipstick for Christmas and I absolutely love it!  My lipstick obsession has been crazy this past year and I've been really wanting a darker, maroon color.  I wear a lot of black and this shade goes perfectly!


Buy this from Nordstrom here for $18


Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! XO Alex
