Happy Wednesday! No really, it is! My camera and my body are both back and in fighting form.  I think it has a lot to do with the fantastic sunshine that finally popped out and showed itself!  I'm recharged, rocking my trusty vest, and a new fabulous bracelet.  I shared this adorable, dainty bracelet on my Instagram the other day, but I'm here to share a little bit more about THREADS and the fantastic story behind it!  I've been following Ashley and The Shine Project for years now, but more recently she has started this jewelry endeavor.  THREADS employs at risk youth to make jewelry and earn a fair wage to help the students pay for their school to better their future.  

Here is some more info about them, from their website:

Friday Favorites!

TGIF, my chicky chicks! We made it! I am so exhausted.  I know I have no room to complain about weather since we are not trudging through snow and such, but this FREEZING weather and no sunshine is really starting to get to me.  

Here are a few things that are brightening my never-ending winter blues:

Sonia Kashuk body wash / (The smell of grapefruit wins me over every time!) 

Aidy Bryant / my favorite SNL cast member, I love her! (The Girlfriend Talk Show!)

Mossimo Fringe Tote / I recently made this purchase and I love element of fun it adds!

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream / (the coverage is the best I've tried!) 

Vodka Sodas / my new drink of choice when margaritas cannot be found (!!!!!) 

Everything Is Perfect When You're A Liar by Kelly Oxford / (hilarious read) 

Julep nail polish / (all of it! I love being a Maven!!)

What are your favorite items to get you through these rough days? 

And don't say the beach, because that's NO fair!

Merry weekend to you!
