Happy Black Friday! I hope you are finding good deals if you are off from work today and in a happy carb coma of Thanksgiving leftovers. If you have to work I hope the day is easy and goes by quickly! I am off today and spending the day picking out a (real) Christmas tree with Josh and then making our house look like it’s a part of Santa’s workshop. Nothing makes me happier than coming home to a house all decked out for Christmas. Here’s what else I’m loving this Friday:
1. Josh surprised me with a gift of gratitude on Thanksgiving. I really am the luckiest.
2. Lorde’s title track from Mockingjay is phenomenal. I can’t get this song out of my head.
3. I’m getting my new iPhone on Monday and can’t wait. I bought the Mint Rose case pictured but am now debating if I should have gotten the Edge Chrome pictured in teal. Thoughts? Do you prefer one over the other or think I should get them both and keep my options open. They’re both Incipio so the quality is the same. It’s more that the rose has a hard outer case and the teal has a softer grip outer case. They’re both protected with two layers, it’s more of a grip thing. #firstworldproblems
4. This is going to sound SO dorky but I don’t care. Now that Josh and I have finished watching Chuck on Netflix, and all of our current shows are on winter hiatus, we’ve been looking for a new Netflix series to get hooked on. The kind you can binge watch episodes at a time because the series is already over so you never have to worry about running out or having to wait for the next week. Our latest pick is a total geeky one: Star Trek Voyager.
I’ve already seen the Star Trek Voyager series (twice…) but am loving getting to watch it with Josh as he discovers it for the first time. My Uncle introduced me to it when I was little. It’s the reason I like space so much. I haven’t seen any of the other Star Trek series but absolutely love Voyager. Janeway, the female captain, is a total badass. I love watching their adventures as they’re lost in space.
5. If you are looking for a lip balm to keep your lips from getting dry and chapped in the harsh winter weather you need to pick up this Yes to Coconut Naturally Smooth Lip Balm. It’s a Target exclusive, is only $2.99, and gets Paula’s Choice seal of approval. I picked it up a few days ago and have been using it religiously since. My lips feel so soft and smooth! I’m so glad I found this before the worst of winter weather sets in.
Questions of the Day: What do you think I should do about the iPhone cases? Do you have a dorky obsession like I do with Star Trek Voyager? What are your go-to beauty products to get you through dry, cold winters? What are you loving this Friday?

Hmm, that’s a toughie. I like the teal all-one-color, but I think hard cases are safer (whether they are or not). And right now I’m loving my fitness center for having pre and post Thanksgiving classes that I can get to! yay!

I ended up going with the rose case (my original purchase) because it’s a double case whereas the blue case is a single case. I didn’t realize it at the time.

I just asked my mom if we can make a special trip to Target while I am home so I can get some of that lip balm! And that phone case dilemma is tough. I really like the floral one but a little pop of gold is always nice too! Good luck with that one. Wish I could be of more help.
Erin says
You are going to love the lip balm! I’m obsessed! I ended up going with the floral case because it’s double lined unlike the blue one. I didn’t realize they weren’t both double lined at first!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I like the rose case! Have a great day decorating and (hopefully) eating delicious leftovers!
Erin says
I kept the rose case! I love it!
Joanna@Makingmine says
I like both cases – keep both! Girls need option 😉
Erin says
I realized the blue one isn’t double lined. As cute as it is I cannot risk breaking this phone! haha
Brie @ Lean, Clean, & Brie says
Oooo I love both of those cases! I just bought the iPhone 6 today and am on the lookout for a case for it! I’ll have to check those two out- I love the designs of both!
Erin says
Yay for iphone 6s! I’m loving mine!
