Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea , Bright on a Budget, Della Devoted, and BYBMG!
1. I had been seeing advent calendars popping up everywhere lately and I decided to order the Sephora advent calendar earlier this week. I'm excited to use it this December! I haven't had an advent calendar since I was probably a kid, and even then I don't really remember having one. Anyways, this one actually had a lot of great stuff in it. So it should be fun! Do you buy an advent calendar?
2. Another fun thing I got this week was this label maker! I like using it for when I'm scrapbooking and this one even has numbers on it. It's really easy to use and best of all it's only $6!
3. I am very picky about my coffee and finding a decent coffee creamer is really hard. There is basically zero options for something organic, and I don't like all the chemicals in regular coffee creamer, so I found some recipes and just made my own. It was really easy and it tastes way better than store bought!
I used one can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 3/4 cups of milk (the recipe called for 1 1/2, but I don't like my creamer too sweet so I added some more milk), and 2 tablespoons of good vanilla. Just be sure to put it in a container that you can shake up (a mason jar with a lid would work fine.).
4. I guess this is turning out to be a list of new things I've gotten recently but I also ordered some new slippers from Zappos last week. My old ones were literally falling apart and it was definitely time for some new ones! These are really comfortable and seem really well made.
5. And last but not least it's Stranger Things day! We are pretty excited about the second season! My sister and I finished season 1 last night and are planning on spending the day binge watching season 2 and later getting pizza from our favorite pizza place. Should be a fun day! Is anyone else planning on watching?
Hope you have a great weekend!
I need new slippers. I tossed mine last year because they just smelled too bad!! Hahaha. I don't ever remember having an advent calendar but we got one when my oldest turned 4 maybe. We thought it'd be fun for him to see then days counted down until Christmas. Hope your weekend is an awesome one!
ReplyDeleteLabel makers are so much fun! They want me to stick a label on pretty much everything.
ReplyDeleteA Sephora Advent calendar sounds awesome!! I think I had an Advent calendar or two as a kid, but I don't remember what was in it!
