Friday Five

August 20, 2015 105 Comments

Happy Friday! Here’s to the weekend! Josh and I are heading to the Iowa State Fair this Sunday and I can’t wait. I’ve never been but I’ve heard it blows the Nebraska State Fair out of the water, so I’m expecting big things!

Here’s what else I’m loving this week:

The Holy Donut Portland Maine Her Heartland Soul

1. Potato donuts! On my Stonyfield trip I tried donuts from The Holy Donut in Portland, Maine and they were UNREAL. They’re made from Maine potatoes and have a texture that’s hard to describe but absolutely amazing.

Anthropologie sale her heartland soul

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

2. Anthropologie is having a ridiculous sale right now, with an extra 20% off all sale prices with the code SUNNYSKIES. I’m having the hardest time convincing myself not to buy all. the.things.  These are the items I’m really, really loving.

3. I have been rocking out to Elle King’s Ex’s and Oh’s all week. It’s such a fun, cheeky song.

Halfpops Popcorn Kernels Her Heartland Soul

4. Those who know me well know that I am a huge popcorn fan. So the day I come home to a big box of new-to-me popcorn to try is a very good day! 😀 Halfpops sent me a sampler of their flavors to try and oh my goodness are they good! Like, I’m a little scared how much I love these. They only pop their kernels halfway so they’re crunchy and packed with flavor. The four flavors are butter & pure ocean sea salt, aged white cheddar, caramel & sea salt, and chipotle barbeque.

Halfpops are gluten-free, nut-free, and are free of trans fat, corn syrup, artificial flavors, hydrogenated oils, and preservatives. I’m a little sad because I promised Josh when I was unboxing the bags that he could take some to work to snack on but now I really don’t want to share. 😉

5. This is without a doubt the best groomsmen dance I have ever seen! Make sure you watch until the end. It’s truly picture perfect! I’m sure that the couple is going to cherish this memory forever.

Cow Selfie Her Heartland Soul

And because I forgot to share this picture in yesterday’s Why I Buy Organic post, I’m ending today’s post with a cow selfie. Because why the heck not! Enjoy your weekend!

Questions of the Day: What are you loving this week? Does half-popped popcorn sound good to you? Are you a donut fan?

    Oh man. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who can appreciate the texture of a good donut as well as the flavor. My boyfriend still makes fun of me because one time I said a donut was perfect based on its density. I’m also a huge popcorn fan, so I’ll have to check out the halfpops. Aged white cheddar & chipotle sound HEAVENLY!

    Those donuts look amazing. I love potato buns/breads so I assume the donuts could only be amazing as well. I was in Philly last weekend and had amazing donuts from Federal Donuts while I was there. Especially the grapefruit brulee glazed one. Let’s just say I’ve been on a bit of a donut kick since then.
