Here's what we're loving and living for this week.
1. We usually keep it simple on our nails, but these nail art ideas got us thinking that maybe we should branch out a little. Maybe we'll try one on our next manicure.
2. We know it's not new, but we've been addicted to Fixer Upper reruns on HGTV lately. We love Chip and Joanna's style and it inspires us to tackle some house projects of our own this summer. Stay tuned for more!
3. My husband made this One Skillet Lemon Chicken and Orzo this week and we couldn't stop eating it! It would be awesome with shrimp instead of chicken, too. Plus, who doesn't love a one-pot meal? (Especially when you're the one doing dishes like I am!) --J
4. Last night was the series finale of Scandal! So much for our Thursday tradition of wine, popcorn and Olivia Pope. If you're going to go through withdrawal without this show, then look back at this amazing retrospective of Olivia's amazing fashion sense!
5. GAP is running its Spring Sale with up to 60% off and an additional 40% off with the code HAPPY. If the forecast ever looked like it would warm up, we'd definitely be stocking up on some spring stuff!
6. If you're looking for a new comedy show to watch, try The Good Place! We recently caught up on this comedy and were sad to finish it off. It took a little while to click, but by the end, I loved the characters and was cracking up. The first season is on Netflix and you can find season two on NBC's site. --J

Friday Pick-Six: 3/16/18
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Last week, I saw Black Panther and it was awesome! The effects and stunts were amazing. I sure spent time this week looking up what workouts Lupita and the other stars used to get in insane shape! --J
2. Have you guys watched the new season of Queer Eye on Netflix? We were fans of the original makeover show and the new one is just as great. We love the new Fab Five and the transformations are so great!
3. I recently bought these exercise sliders after doing a Popsugar workout from David Kirsch (J-Lo's trainer). Hoping they'll make me look like JLO! --R
4. How cute are these pink Keds? Do you think I can pull them off for spring? --J
5. I used these tips for early morning travel survival on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Give them a try if you have an early morning flight coming up! --R
6. Since this weekend is March Madness, it's as good a time as any to remind you of Ry's Chex Mix recipe. We will be making it this weekend, no doubt about it!

Friday Pick-Six: 1/19/18
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Last week, we saw I, Tonya and we can't stop talking about it. We've been huge figure skating fans since we were kids, so we totally remember the whole incident very clearly. In fact, we were volunteers at the 1994 National Figure Skating Championships in Detroit and we were at the venue just the day before Nancy was attacked. Anyway, we thought this was an interesting and sometimes funny take on all of the drama. Plus, Allison Janney is amazing!
2. This is an awesome hair tutorial which highlights common mistakes we make when drying our hair. We've all been guilty of some of these from time to time.
3. We love listening to podcasts and our recent fave is called Keep It. Host Ira Madison III takes on pop culture and politics in one podcast that is pretty darn funny. We are constantly saying his catchphrase "keep it" about everything we are just done with! Winter weather--keep it! Check it out!
4. I have never been a breakfast eater, so it's always a struggle to find something I want to eat in the morning. Ry introduced me to this Kind Breakfast Bars which have 8 grams of protein!--J
5. If you love The Crown like we do, you should try watching Victoria on Masterpiece on PBS. Season 1 is streaming on Amazon Prime if you need to catch up! Regular episodes air on PBS on Sunday nights.
6. Speaking of royals, no matter what our mom says, we still love Meghan Markle and her fashion sense. How about this bag she carried earlier this week?

Friday Pick-Six: 1/5/18
Here's what we're loving and living for on the FIRST Friday Pick-Six of 2018!
1. For New Year's Brunch earlier this week, Jess made Smitten Kitchen's Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze. How amazing does it look? And it tasted as good as it looks! Pro tip--you can assemble the whole thing all the way up to the rise in the bundt pan and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Just make sure to set it out on the counter and let it come to room temperature before baking.
2. In our stockings this year, our awesome mom gave us these adorable La-Ta-Da bracelet/hair ties. How cute are they? Also, with each purchase, La-Ta-Da donates to Girl Up, the United Nations Foundation's adolescent girls campaign that provides leadership training to girls around the world!
3. If you have a Macbook and want to protect it (and look cute), try this hard case and keyboard cover I got from Amazon last week! I love the rose gold color, but there are so many great options!
4. It's an oldie but a goodie, but we got caught up in a Parks and Recreation marathon and that show totally holds up! If you haven't watched it, you definitely need to binge it right now!
5. Every New Year's Eve, we enjoy a meal of snacks and appetizers. Most of the dishes change from year to year, but we always have these prosciutto and leek empanadas. The Manchego cheese makes them extra special and they're even good leftover the next day.
6. Are you guys watching the new season of The Bachelor? We were kind of disappointed when Arie was chosen as the new Bachelor, but we have gotten sucked into this show once again.

TTO the Year: The Best of 2017
As the year comes to a close, we have been thinking about some of our favorites in 2017. We thought we'd share some of the things we've loved this year in a variety of categories.
Favorite New (to Us) Beauty Products:
Favorite Trends:
What were your favorites from 2017? Let us know in the comments below and hello 2018!
Favorite New (to Us) Beauty Products:
- CND Shellac Nail Polish: We know that folks have been getting shellac nails for a while now, but 2017 saw our first shellac manicures. We're always super happy with the color and staying power of CND Shellac. Plus, we love our manicurists! (Hi, Angela and Anna!)
- Julep Boost Your Radiance: We've reviewed this and put it into Friday Pick-Six. This rosehip facial oil smoothes and soothes your skin with a glowy (not greasy) finish.
Favorite Trends:
- Plaid: We have always loved plaid and it was so fun to see it out and around everywhere this fall!
- Cozy Knits: One of the main reasons we love winter fashion is wearing cozy knitwear!
- Insecure: We loved how funny and smart Issa Rae's HBO show about love, friends, work and relationships is! Can't wait for the next season!
- Master of None (Season 2): We've loved Aziz Ansari way back in the Parks and Rec days! We loved the first season of this show and the second one was just as great.
- West World: Admittedly, Ry was into this show for quite a while before Jess started watching it. Eventually, we both loved the unpredictable twists and turns and stellar acting.
- Wonder Woman: We loved the action in this fun summer action movie and it reminded us of playing Wonder Woman as kids!

Friday Pick-Six: 12/15/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Since it's release last week, we've been watching season two of The Crown on Netflix. We're only about half way through (NO SPOILERS!) but so far, Prince Philip is NOT our favorite. Hoping to finish up the season this weekend.
2. Our cousin's adorable girlfriend and faithful blog reader (Hi, Kayleigh!) is having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party this weekend! We don't want to give our looks away just yet, but if you're looking for an ugly Christmas sweater, try Target! They just have everything, right?
3. We're big fans of stashing cookie dough in the freezer, but we never thought of this brilliant suggestion on Cup of Jo this week. Bring frozen cookie dough as a hostess gift! Your hostess can store it to enjoy later, or bake it off as an impromptu dessert! What a great tip! Plus that Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe looks like a winner!
4. We've talked about our love for Mrs. Meyer's Cleaning supplies before, but how about this Peppermint scented holiday hand soap? Love it!
5. I was looking to do a little holiday baking with the kiddo on our Snow Day this week, but I didn't want to get into mixing ingredients. Luckily, I grabbed a package of Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cookie Mix at Target last week. You just add egg and butter and you're good to go!
6. One of Ry's favorite things is the annual Haters Guide to the Williams-Sonoma catalog. We always crack up reading this!
What are you up to this weekend? Hope you have a great one!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. We are obsessed with scarves and this blanket scarf might be our all-time favorite. We each have it in several colors and it's super cozy. Order it now and have it by Sunday!
2. We always love when Starbucks brings out its holiday cups! This year's are so cute, too! Here's a look back at all the Starbucks holiday cups from the last 20 years!
3. One of our favorite holiday traditions is watching Food Network's Holiday Baking Championship. We love competition shows and this one combines holiday baking with handsome host, Jesse Palmer.
4. Speaking of holiday baked goods, how awesome is this dessert board on Cupcakes and Cashmere? We would be happy to see that at any holiday party!
5. How cute would this pumpkin-vase idea? You could totally use this on your Thanksgiving table!
6. You guys, UP is playing EVERY EPISODE of Gilmore Girls as part of a "Gilmore the Merrier" marathon beginning on Monday AM at 10. This show is an all-time fave around TTO Headquarters.

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. You guys, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially the cutest couple on the planet! Look at these adorable photos from earlier this week!
2. If you're looking to splurge a little on something special, check out the Shopbop sale that ends today! You can get 20% off an order of less than $500 with the code EOTS17. Speaking of Meghan Markle, you can get the adorable jeans she was wearing the other day on sale!
3. One of our favorite bloggers, Eva Martino at Happily Eva After shared her powder room makeover, which is gorgeous and so glam!
4. As with some of the recent severe storms, we're heartbroken over the terrible damage in Puerto Rico. Here's an informative article with link with where you can donate to help out!
5. One of our favorite shows, This is Us, came back this week! Without spoilers, there was a big reveal at the end of the episode! Who's watching with us?
6. You might say that Ry is obsessed with candles. What kind of candles you ask? Bath and Body Works Three Wicks! They come in so many amazing scents, burn evenly for strong lasting power and are often on sale! They're currently mix and match 2-for-$24. If you order before Friday, there's an extra 20% off your order with the code FALL4FALL. You know we are both going to take advantage of this!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. One of our favorite TV shows, The Mindy Project, came back with a new season on Hulu last week. We can't wait to see how things turn out for Mindy in the final season!
2. How great does this 5 Ingredient Lemony Chicken look on Cup of Jo? This would be perfect with a nice salad and some wine!
3. After any award show, one of our first reads is Go Fug Yourself for the fashion recap. This year is no different! Our personal best dressed faves were Lea Michele and Alexis Bledel. We did not love Reese Witherspoon (wrong for this event) and Tracy Ellis Reese (why wear the puffy thing if you have a rocking bod?)
4. It looks like the Winter Essie color preview is out and Essie Envy has it on her blog! Anything that you're interested in?
5. You guys, Target has a new workout line coming up and it looks soooooo good! JoyLab is launching October 1st and we can't wait!
6. I finally hopped on the face oil trend and ordered Julep's Boost Your Radiance face oil. I'm hoping it will help with my fine line and some discoloration. I'm looking forward to reviewing it soon! --J

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. College football is back and we are pretty excited! Our team is starting out on the road this year, but if you're hosting a tailgate, How Sweet Eats has the best comprehensive list of football-ready foods!

2. Maybe I'm late to the game, but I found out about blow-dry spray thanks to this blog post a couple of weeks back. You spray it on just before drying your hair and it protects it from heat damage. I grabbed this one from Target and am happy with the results! --J
3. Big shout out to Amazon customer service! I ordered a bunch of classroom supplies that were delivered in the middle of a thunderstorm. One of the boxes was filled with water when I arrived home which destroyed the poster board inside. Amazon customer service was super helpful and sent a replacement immediately after I called. --J
4. How great does this blueberry yogurt cake from Real Simple look? It tasted even better. Pro tip, try sprinkling on vanilla sugar instead of plain sugar on top at the end. Simply take a vanilla bean, split it and store it in a small jar of sugar. Easy and delicious.
5. Project Runway is back on Lifetime with season 16 and we are as hooked as ever. Make it work!

Here's what we are loving and living for this week!
1. As much as we love summer, we always look forward to wearing fall clothes! There's something so cozy and cool about booties and blanket scarves. Jill from Good Life had a great post this week about the 13 new pieces you need for fall.
2. Our favorite workout, Pure Barre, just added a great new class called Empower. It incorporates the great burn from our regular PB class with an added cardio and plyometric component. We are trying it out this weekend and cannot wait/are going to be so sore!
3. I've been on the hunt for the perfect paint color to change up our master bedroom. We painted it upon moving in a few years back, but didn't test the color first and it came out differently than we hoped (too light). As we've been looking at chips to repaint, I came across this great article from DIY geniuses, John and Sherry at Young House Love. Look forward to an upcoming post this fall documenting our search and final choice! --J
4. One of our favorite blogs, Go Fug Yourself, had a great retrospective of all of the outfits that our BFF Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, rocked this year. Check it out and be prepared to be jealous. So many beautiful looks.
5. Sunday is the Game of Thrones season finale! You can catch up on HBO Go if you need to prepare for the final episode. We plan to be glued to our TV on Sunday at 9:00.
6. After manicures earlier this week, our new favorite shades are CND Shellac Creekside (Jess) and OPI Tiramisu for Two (Ry).

Friday Pick-Six: 8/11/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. We've been looking for a new show to binge watch and we are planning to give Amazon's The Last Tycoon a try. It takes place in 1930's Hollywood and stars Matt Bomer (from one of Jess's fave shows, White Collar), Kelsey Grammar and Lily Collins.
2. One of our favorite things to do on our annual beach vacation is read! The hands-down favorite book of the trip was My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry. This book has mystery, intrigue and relationship drama. Read it and thank us later!
3. If you're anything like me, you have a lot of tomatoes right now! Our garden is insane and we have more tomatoes than I know what to do with! I saw this recipe on Real Simple's Instagram and plan to give it a try this weekend. --J
4. One of our favorite jewelry sources, Three Sisters Jewelry is offering an extra 50% off sale items this week with the code SALE50. There are some great deals, so check it out!
5. Believe it or not, I cooked dinner this week! I used this recipe to make an easy tortellini pasta salad. I added some cubed grilled chicken and a half of a seeded jalapeño! Easy and delicious! --J
6. Sale alert! GAP is offering up to 50% off EVERYTHING (including jeans, which are hardly ever on sale) plus an additional 20% off your order AND free shipping with the code BESTDEAL. Check out Monday's post for some of our favorite new arrivals and get ready to shop. You can also earn GAP CASH, too.

Friday Pick-Six: 7/28/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. If you follow us on Instagram (and you should), you might have seen me enjoying an Aperol Spritz at brunch earlier this week. Apparently, they're all the rage in Rome and it was the perfect summer cocktail. Here's a recipe you can try to make them at home.
2. You know how much we love the Duchess of Cambridge! The awesome gals at Go Fug Yourself had a great compilation post of all the amazing outfits she wore on a recent trip to Poland and Germany. Love this gal!
3. If you're looking for something to do with overripe bananas, then you have to try this banana bread recipe from Smitten Kitchen. My tip is to freeze bananas in a Ziploc bag as they start to go bad (peel them first!), then when you have enough, just defrost and use them in the recipe. You can also supplement with a little applesauce if you're short. --J
4. During the Nordstrom Sale, I decided to splurge on the Beachwaver Rotating Curling Iron and can't wait to give it a try! Look for a review post sometime soon! --R
5. In other royal news, there are several TV specials about the late Diana, Princess of Wales in honor of the 20th anniversary of her death. Entertainment Weekly has a list of all of them, our favorite of which was the HBO special (which you can watch on HBO Go). It featured in-depth interviews with the Princes and personal photographs.
6. If you're looking for a great, quick workout, try this Body by Simone for Sweaty Betty 35 minute whole body workout!

1. If you follow us on Instagram (and you should), you might have seen me enjoying an Aperol Spritz at brunch earlier this week. Apparently, they're all the rage in Rome and it was the perfect summer cocktail. Here's a recipe you can try to make them at home.
2. You know how much we love the Duchess of Cambridge! The awesome gals at Go Fug Yourself had a great compilation post of all the amazing outfits she wore on a recent trip to Poland and Germany. Love this gal!
3. If you're looking for something to do with overripe bananas, then you have to try this banana bread recipe from Smitten Kitchen. My tip is to freeze bananas in a Ziploc bag as they start to go bad (peel them first!), then when you have enough, just defrost and use them in the recipe.

Friday Pick-Six: 7/14/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Is avocado toast still a thing? Anyway, as much as I like that, I decided to switch it up and try zucchini toast, thanks to the overload of zucchini that our garden has started to kick out. I adapted this recipe from Real Simple and served them alongside tomato soup on a rainy afternoon. I added a little crushed red pepper flake onto mine and used aged white cheddar cheese (because that's what we had and it's the kiddo's favorite). The results were so great, I decided to repeat the same with some soft scrambled eggs the next morning for breakfast. Just look at this, gang! Instagram-worthy if I do say so myself! --J
2. Game of Thrones comes back on Sunday at 9:00 PM on HBO. Each season features more crazy twists and surprising deaths so we can't wait to see what's in store!
3. One of our favorite bloggers and Today Show correspondent, Siri Daly announced this week that she's working on a cook book! Can you say pre-order?
4. One of our favorite guilty pleasure shows is back! Odd Mom Out premiered its new season on Bravo on Wednesday and we couldn't be more excited! If you haven't watched, it follows Jill, a New York mom trying to have it all and fit into society and her husband's crazy family. Our favorite character is Brooke!
5. All of the sunscreen and time outside in the summer can dry out your skin. That's why finding a great exfoliator can be important. One of our favorite inexpensive options is Yes to Coconuts Polishing Body Scrub. It smells great and leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft.
6. You probably read on literally every blog this week (including ours) that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started this week. How great are these shoes that are in Ry's cart right now?

Here's what we are loving and living for this week!
1. We have already given you our hosting guide to the Fourth of July, but how great are these No-Bake Red Velvet Truffle Balls? Easy and perfect for a BBQ!
2. Eva from Happily Eva After has always been one of our blogging heroes! Is there anything she can't do? This week, she posted a killer tutorial for a great blowout in the comfort of your own home. If you can't afford to hit the salon and want your hair to look amazing, check this out!
3. If you're looking for a funny show to binge watch this summer (like Jess was earlier this week), try Happy Endings on Hulu. We loved this show so much when it was on originally and it starts one of the cohosts from our favorite podcast, Bitch Sesh, Casey Wilson! If you like Friends or How I Met Your Mother, give this one a try!
4. Have you guys tried Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend yet? It is so great and tastes just like an everything bagel! We like it sprinkled on pita chips, burgers, pizza crust or on Ry's No Knead Bread!
5. We can't wait to try these new Miss Spa Brightening Eye Masks. We can always use a little help in this area and we've loved the other Miss Spa products we've been using lately (including this Gold Radiance Mask).
6. How amazing does this hot fudge sauce on Smitten Kitchen look! Let's all make it this weekend and eat hot fudge sundaes! Deal?

Here's what we are loving and living for this week!
1. For Father's Day, I decided to take on the task of cooking dinner (which I almost never do). I wanted something BBQ like but since I'm a grill novice, I was a little intimidated to actually BBQ. I found this awesome crockpot pulled pork recipe on Pinterest and paired it with this coleslaw that is a copycat version from one of our favorite restaurants! The end result was easy and a hit with the whole fam! Mom for the win!--J

2. You might have seen this great new Essie color, Blue La La, on our Instagram story earlier this week. This robin's egg blue is perfect for a summer pedicure! This color, which is part of Essie's Paris inspired summer collection was sold out on Amazon, so pick it up if you find it!
3. If you're looking for a great workout, check out this Popsugar video featuring celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins. She trains Serena Williams, friends! This workout is no joke!
4. Guys, starting on June 26th, one of our favorite stores (Nordstrom) will be carrying one of our favorite brands (Benefit)! Now you can grab our favorite highlighter, High Beam or That Gal Brightening Face Primer at Nordstrom!
5. Target is having a Buy One, Get One 50% off sale on all swimsuits! Women, men, kids! Everybody gets a swimsuit! (Did you read that in your best Oprah Winfrey voice? Because we did!) This is not a drill! It ends tomorrow, so stock up now!
6. Did you hear that they're going to make a Downton Abbey movie? Let's hope it happens (some of the actors in the story didn't seem to know about it yet!) and that it's amazing!

Friday Pick-Six: 5/19/17
Here's what we are loving and living for this week!
1. Guys, Nordstrom has started carrying Draper James, the adorable fashion line by Reese Witherspoon! Admittedly, the prices are a little steep, but this stuff is so darn cute. It would be perfect for a summer shower or party. Here's hoping that some of it is included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! (Mark your calendars, it's July 21-August 6 this year!)
2. Good news, gang, high ponytails are the new topknots. We've been rocking high ponytails forever, so we're glad we're on trend now. The key to making this work is the location of your pony. For a fun flirty look, shoot for the crown of your head and add volume or curl (or try this tutorial). If you are going for a sleeker look, go a little lower on the back of your head and add some smoothing serum.
3. One of our favorite accessories lately have been our Charleston Rice Beads. We started seeing them on all our favorite bloggers a while back, so we knew we needed them. These long strand necklaces are super versatile and easy to dress up or down. We even wear ours wrapped around our wrists as bracelets. Plus, they come in so many fun colors! Check them out!
4. Pippa Middleton (our favorite royal sister) is marrying hedge fund magnate James Matthews tomorrow. If your invite was apparently lost in the mail like ours was, check out this comprehensive look at Pippa's fashion over time to celebrate. Keep an eye out for photos, too (Prince George and Princess Charlotte are in the wedding party!)
5. We think one of the great fashion challenges every woman faces is finding a correctly fitting bra. We both have finally found the right shape for us, but it's been pretty tricky! This article about solving your bra fitting problems might give you the support you need to solve your problem. Get it?
6. One of our guilty pleasures is watching The Bachelorette together with a glass of wine and popcorn. It's not highbrow, but we like to watch, laugh and critique everyone. The new season features Rachel, an attorney from Dallas, whom we liked on Nick's season last year. Set your DVR for Monday May 22nd at 9:00 for yet another season of this trashy classic.

Friday Pick-Six: 5/12/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Masters of None season two premieres tonight! We loved this funny and realistic series about dating, family and friendship from the hilarious Aziz Ansari (aka Tom Haverford). We can't wait to make some fancy pasta, open a bottle of wine and watch!
2. Don't forget that Sunday is Mother's Day! You can revisit our Mother's Day Gift Guide for some tips for last minute gifts. For a gift that will please most any mom, try out these amazing lounge pants from GAP. They're lightweight and so comfy! I can't stop wearing them and want them in every color! Plus, the GAP Cash redemption started this week, so if you earned GAP cash in April, you can take $25 off a purchase of $50! --J
3. One of our favorite jewelry sources, Baublebar, is having a sale this weekend! You can take 20% one item with the code SAVE20, 25% off two items with the code SAVE25 and 30% 3 items with the code SAVE30. We've got our eyes on this Kiara necklace , black and white piñata tassel earrings and this chic acrylic monogram bracelet.
4. A combination of Benefit High Beam and this killer tutorial from one of our blog heroes, the amazing Eva Martino, are saving our tired looking eyes these days. If you're short on sleep or if spring allergies are making your eyes puffy (Pollen, we hate you!), try it out!
5. Smoothies can make for a great breakfast or post-workout snack, but too often they're loaded with sugar. I made this Blueberry Oat smoothie recipe to share with the kiddo and it was delicious and filling. You could also substitute almond milk and frozen banana for the milk/yogurt if you're dairy-free.--J
6. On the recommendation of one of our favorite bloggers, Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers, we recently tried White Claw Hard Seltzer. These low-carb, 110 calorie alcoholic drinks come in three different flavors. They taste like an alcoholic version of our favorite LaCroix. They're definitely going to be a summertime must-have around here!

Friday Pick Six: 4/28/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Our friends (and yours) the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrate their 6th anniversary tomorrow. We remember their gorgeous wedding like it was yesterday! Yes, we got up early to watch and you'd better believe we had champagne and a cake. If you want to relive the fabulousness, check out this classic post from Go Fug Yourself with all the royal fashion and romance you can stand. Speaking of which, if you haven't read their book, The Royal We, it's a perfect beach read! Finally, if you have three hours to spare, pop some champagne and watch the Royal Wedding in its entirety and thank us later!
2. If you're looking for something to watch this weekend, the new season of Catastrophe returns to Amazon today. This show is about an American guy and British gal who find themselves who started off their relationship with a positive pregnancy test after a one-night-stand. Stars Sharon Hogan and Rob Delany are charming, funny and sad all in the same episode. Binge-watch the first two seasons to get caught up first!
3. Now that spring is finally here, it's Rose' season around these parts. We love to drink this summertime staple as is, but we are looking forward to trying it FROZEN (or Froze'...get it?) this summer. This recipe looks fool-proof! We will definitely be drinking this on the deck or by the (baby) pool this summer.
4. Do you guys know about Millennial Pink? Apparently, it's the name for the popular tone of pink (think blush) that's been so popular in fashion lately. We love it, but it can be a tricky color to wear in large doses. This article gives some great tips on how to sport it, even if you weren't born in the 90's. We love incorporating it with beauty products, like this great nail polish.

5. I've been looking for comfortable capris for running that don't slip down while I'm on a jog. I think I've finally found them in the Go-Dry High Rise Compression Crops from Old Navy. They do have a fair amount of compression (sort of a Spanx-like feel) but I liked that support while I was running. The high-waist gives me nice coverage while moving around with no slippage. Lucky for us, they also come in a variety of patterns and colors, although I went classic with this subtle black dot pattern.--J
6. We are totally digging Cold Brew Coffee these days. Now that the weather is warmer, we need an alternative to our usual latte and these always hit the spot. Our favorite is the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks! It's just as delicious as it looks!
What are you loving this week? Let us know in the comments and have a great weekend!
