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:
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.
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.
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.
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?
P.S. See you tomorrow with a new Saturday Shares!

Erica {[email protected]} says
Bahaha – love the selfie with the cow!
I’ve never shopped at Anthropologie before, and I think my wallet thanks me (although the shoes are super, super cute.)
Erin says
I love Anthropologie but basically only buy clearance! It’s too expensive otherwise!
Fox @ Blogging Onward says
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!
Erin says
I hope you love the Half Pops! They’re yummy!
Crystal @ Dreams, etc. says

I’m loving DayQuil and tissues with lotion, but only because I’m working through a cold. And those donuts sound amazing. Everything with sugar sounds amazing, truly.

Caitlyn @ Candid Cerebrations says
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.

I have a cousin who works for the NYPD and doughnuts are indeed a staple police food! keep them out from these or they might end up slacking off their jobs! haha
Erin says
I want another donut! haha
kathy @ more coffee, less talky says
so i’m going to ask a super silly question….those potato donuts – are they made only from potato ie. no wheat flour? because i don’t eat grains and if this is true; if there are donuts out there made from potatoes, i can finally die a happy woman (with donuts in my belly)
Erin says
Yes! I believe they are gluten free! Yay!!!
Ourfamilyworld says
Those donuts look yummy. I have tried a potato bread, so I guess they pretty much have the same texture. Your picks from Anthropologie are fabulous.
Erin says
I love Anthropologie! I wish I could live in that store!
