Happy Friday everyone! Who’s excited for the weekend? I’ve got a bunch of fun stuff planned that I can’t wait for! Here’s what I’m loving this week:
1. Omaha Performing Arts is having their Holland Stages Festival this Saturday to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Holland Performing Arts Center. It’s a free, all day affair that includes backstage tours, performances by aerial dance troupe BANDALOOP, jazz master Delfeayo Marsalis, acclaimed composer Daniel Bernard Roumain, Omaha native Conor Oberst and many more. Josh and I basically plan on spending the whole day at the festival and I can’t wait!
2. I’m always trying to be a kinder, more empathetic, and more patient person. This video was a beautiful reminder of how the littlest acts of kindness can profoundly impact others.
3. Muscle Maker Grill is a fast-casual restaurant that offers healthier versions of popular dishes that taste delicious, making it easy, convenient, and affordable to eat well. They have locations all over the country and their Omaha location is turning one next week! To celebrate they’re offering free wraps to all guests that stop by this Monday between 12:00PM – 4:00PM. Yay for healthy food that’s free!
4. One of the perks of being a blogger is getting fun surprises in the mail. Laura Mercier recently sent me a sweet eye makeup package that I couldn’t wait to tear into. I did my makeup before heading to coffee with my friend Grace the other night and snapped a quick selfie. I love the new Laura Mercier eye products and used the following for this look:
Eye Shadow (Fresco) | Eye Shadow (Truffle) | Eye Liner | Mascara | Brush
5. If you’re like me and like to work to light background music I highly recommend checking out the Anthem Lights Pandora station. It has been my go-to playlist for the last week and I love it!
Questions of the Day: What are you loving this week? Any fun weekend plans? Do you like to work to music? Is eyeliner a part of your makeup routine? I usually skip it but loved how it looked for coffee. I guess I have to start doing it more often!
That festival sounds like it’s going to be awesome. I would end up spending the whole day there.
This all sounds like fun. Loved this blog post.
Eyeliner is usually my entire eye routine. It makes you look awake without trying!
I’ll have to check out that station for my classroom. Similar ones I love are Boyce Avenue & Madilyn Bailey.
Love your makeup! I’ve never heard of Lauren Mercier, but will definitely check it out!
Sounds like a blast of a weekend. I love eyeliner. Now to find a place to wear it.
I usually only wear eyeliner if I’m going out for a special dinner or something. And when I do, it’s almost always a small cat eye.

That event sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Definitely need to check out that Pandora station to have on while I’m writing.
Your love of life shines through your blog posts, you sound like a very busy optimistic woman 🙂 I love your blog x
What a creative blog post… LOVE it! I expecially love #2, the Human video. I’m still in tears. Sharing 😉
Sounds like a nice weekend! I liked your post very much, keep shining. Xo
Double yay for surprises in the mail! That is the absolute best!!
So much to love about this post! I <3 Muscle Maker Grill so will have to remember the wrap deal on Monday. I'm also going to try and get down to the Holland at some point. Looks amazing! Have a great weekend.
What a magic filled weekend you have in store! That video is POWERFUL and must be shared! Thank you!
I bet the arts will be awesome! It would be cool if there are things like that going on around here. I like to listen to music at work to down or all the background noise, I’ll be giving this station a try tomorrow.
Music, makeup, and food: Three of my favorite things, too! If I was in Omaha I’d be all over those free wraps, haha! Happy Friday!
I love surprises in the mail, agreed and your eye makeup looks great!
I love Laura Mercier makeup!
So jealous.
Have a great weekend.
xoxo, Jenny
I’ll be sure to check out that station!
Muscle maker grill sounds like a restaurant I will fall in love with! This week’s list is awesome, I hope you have a great weekend!
Sounds like you have a delightful weekend coming up. Enjoy it. Your eyes look beautiful.
Sounds like a great weekend coming and i love your make up. I wish i have a great weekends too
Love the concerts and a great weekend
That wrap looks so delicious and healthy. I love your simple make up! 😉 beautiful
I love to work to music. And eyeliner is one of my two must-have items, along with lip gloss. We have bowling today and a big community yard sale tomorrow.
I agree with you – I love surprises in the mail. It is like Christmas morning sometimes being a blogger!
This week I’ve loved having my husband off work. It’s so nice having him around. I’m a sad loser with no special weekend plans. I don’t like to work to music as I find it distracting (though when working out it’s a must) and fonally I don’t wear eye make up as I’m scared of poking myself in the eye!
The festival sounds awesome! I love watching the acrobats and people flying around in the air, lol. Sounds like a great weekend.
Looks good! you seem all set for the weekend
You have a fun weekend planned. I want some of those wraps.
Love the Friday Five. The wraps and broccoli look delicious.
Sounds like a blast. Great post, thanks for sharing!
I’m so jealous of that festival. I love Conor Oberst, and have seen him play many, many times. You are in for a great time! We’re off to the pumpkin farm tomorrow, which will be fun….but not as much fun as that festival 🙂
Great pics – and your eye makeup looks great, too! That’s about the only makeup I spend much time and effort on.
Aren’t surprise beauty products the best!!!! Blogger peek right there!
I love surprises in the mail! These are really great pictures!
My son would enjoy the Holland festival. He is into that stuff. I myself didn’t have that much planned for this weekend. We have a sick baby.
That sounds like a wonderful weekend. I love going to festivals.
The Muscle Maker Grill picture looks great! My husband is a giant carnivore, he may have to check it out! Thanks!
I’m going to have to tell my daughter to put that station on when we’re working. I wouldn’t mind some light music like that.
The festival sounds like so much fun.
That festival sounds awesome! We have a muscle maker grill close to us and we love stopping for quick dinners without the guilt!
