I have decided that I need a Friday playlist in my life. Complete with as many ‘working for the weekend’ and ‘this Friday night, do it all again’ references as possible. If you ask me, Fridays are reason for celebration. And what better way to celebrate than with this week’s edition of ‘Little Things to Love.’
New Toiletries. Okay, so I know that some people wouldn’t find this quite blog worthy, but I love getting new products to try.
Do You Know Your Bride & Groom Quizzes. My college roommate of 5 years sent Dan and me these books when we got engaged and they are a blast! Each page comes equipped with random questions about your fiancé.
Completed Workouts. Does anyone else feel like 5k sounds so much more impressive than 3 miles? I will happily go the extra .1 to call it a 5k. We had some great workouts this week, and even though we have yet to sign up for a race this spring, maybe summer, I feel like our training is going well.
Safe Haven. Technically this movie doesn’t hit theaters until next week, but close enough. I am so excited! Safe Haven was my favorite of all Nicholas Sparks’ novels and I have been impatiently awaiting its movie screen rendition. I hardly ever get to the theaters, so this really is reason to celebrate.
A Clutch New Clutch. My mom picked up this new clutch for me this week and I adore it.
Reader Questions: What are your little things to love this week? What are you looking forward to this weekend?

OKAY I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU WROTE THIS POST BECAUSE:
DOES IT NOT DRIVE YOU CRAZY THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN SAFE HAVEN LOOK NOTHING LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO?!
I know this is all in caps but it has been driving me CRAZY! He is supposed to have white hair and she is supposed to have brown hair… WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?!
totally annoys me! They did it with Dear John and The Last Song too. Come on people, read the boook!
Seriously!!! So annoyed!
Girl, this comment made my night!! Haha, yes, you are so right! They could have done her with brown hair, she is stunning either way!!
I agree! I understand that they want to hot character appeal but they would be hot with any hair color
I can’t wait for Safe Haven! I loved it so much as a book and I hope it’s equally as good a movie! I always get so excited when i get new toiletries so I totally think that is blog worthy! 🙂
I hope so too! I can’t wait to see it!! I am glad that you think toiletries are blog worthy 🙂 I get so excited when I buy them! It changes up the whole morning routine!
gah that clutch is gorgeous I love that green. I wish I had a workout partner like that, i t would make workouts so much easier
It was definitely an awesome surprise. It helps so much to have a workout partner, when I am on my own I am so much less apt to go. But you are like a rock star with your workouts! I feel like you always have amazing runs!
Yes, Safe Haven! I cannot wait to see that. That book was so fantastic. I think I cried through the whole thing. My heart breaks for her! Julianne is going to do such a great job in that role. Your new clutch is super cute!
Little things I am loving this week are my foam roller, macaroni and cheese, some good workouts, a free pizza coupon, and The Bachelor. That’s a typical girl list if I ever saw one….haha.
This weekend I’m looking forward to going to a Red Wings hockey game with Luke 🙂
Macaroni & Cheese-yes, I love it!! Have so much fun at the hockey game 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about it! Safe Haven is going to be SO good!!
Wait I really want to see that movie now. I just added it to my ever-growing list of things to watch! And I like getting new shower products too. I totally go by the smell 🙂
Have you read the book!? It is so good!! I totally go by how everything smells too 🙂 Love it
No but now maybe I should add that to my kindle list!
1. I looooove new household products, especially soaps! so many new smells and everything gets so clean! I love it!
2. That MK clutch is adorable– I’m all about green this year.
I do too- we do most our cleaning on the weekends, and I love how clean our place looks when we are done!
Thanks, I really love the color too!!
Ok I’m so exited now for safe haven. I didn’t read the book but didn’t know if it’d just be so-so but since you said it was your fav book, I’m totalllllllllly dragging my boytoy to it! :)) oh and I’m loving the fact that I finally got my eyes checked and had to get glasses BC I was able to get super cute Juicy glasses. YAY!
I lovedddd the book-could not put it down! I have already asked Dan to commit to going, haha! Nice-I bet your glasses are SO cute!!
I love getting new body wash! I normally have at least 3 different scents in my shower at once!
LOVE that clutch. The color is awesome :).
So, it really is the little things in life, right!? I love having choices for what to use when I shower because it really does depend on my mood!
I loved the color too, she let me pick between a couple and I honestly don’t have any other purse that color!
I definitely think that new toiletries are blog worthy! I’m a total sucker for anything beauty related so I always love hearing about what other people are loving 🙂 And speaking of love lists and beauty products, Maybelline’s Colossal Volum’ mascara is definitely on mine!
Thanks for letting me know about that mascara! I always have a hard time deciding because there are SO many options. I will have to store that one away 🙂 Happy Friday!!
1. I love buying new products.. especially shampoo & conditioners.
2. I’ve been counting down the release of Safe Haven for a while now. Cannot for it to be out in theaters over here.

3. your clutch is adorable!!
I am pretty sure that I will smell at least 10 shampoos and conditioners before making my decision.I’m glad you are excited to see Safe Haven too, the book was SO good!!
We did those quizzes too! So fun! Will have to add Safe Haven to my book list! Would love for you to share your Friday playlist! 🙂
We have had such a fun time reading our answers to each other because all the questions are so random! I bet you and Justin did stellar on the quizzes. Definitely add Safe Haven to your book list. It was by far my favorite book of his! 🙂
Wow that’s saying a lot for it to be your favorite book of his as he has so many great ones! Just downloaded it to the kindle and cant wait to start reading!
I want your clutch, and the shoes your wearing in that picture as well! I also love getting new soups, it’s all about the small things 🙂 I’m going to have to read Safe Haven as everyone commenting sounds like they’re excited about it too!
It’s definitely about the little things 🙂 You have to read Safe Haven! If you do, let me know what you think!! Happy Friday!!
Happy Friday! 🙂
A 5k does sound so much more impressive than 3 miles! I’m so excited for Safe Haven and just became more anxious to see it after reading this. Cute clutch!
One of my little things to love this week was getting to sleep in an hour later. It can make such a difference!
I love getting that extra sleep-it always feels like such a luxury! That is one of my favorite things about the weekend 🙂
I love that clutch – super cute! My little thing today was a morning run with my husband and baby!
Thanks, Katie! That is a perfect little thing to love 🙂
I love getting new beauty products! The bath wash looks good. I love browsing the aisles of CVS to see what kind of products I can find. I have a mask waiting for me at home too 🙂
I need to do a mask soon! Maybe just a whole at home spa day-that sounds like so much fun! 🙂
I loved the book, can’t wait to see the movie!! Softsoap pomegranate mango smells so good! I’m excited to be spending time with my mom this weekend 🙂
I am pretty sure I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. finishing the book, and considering that I am usually tired by 8:00, that means it must have been amazing 🙂 I hope you and your mom have a great weekend!!
Those bride/groom quizzes look so fun! My maid of honor put together a surprise questionnaire for me to answer at my bridal shower….talk about being put on the spot! haha!
They are so much fun! Dan and I have a great time answering them and hearing what the other person wrote. That is so cute that she did that for you! I bet it was a blast 🙂
What a great post for Friday. I too am happy it’s Friday! I’m celebrating by being home today for the snowday in the North with my hubby 🙂
Getting new toiletries is so exciting to me, it’s not even funny. Totally blog worthy 😉
Happy Friday & weekend!
Enjoy your snow day! I am glad you get to spend it with your hubs! 🙂
Im glad its not snowing here, although is it very cold! I love getting new clinique lotion, powders, and makeups 🙂 Its weird how a trip to get groceries can be so fun!
Yes, this storm in the Northeast looks out of control! New makeup is so fun! I got some a couple months ago that I am still waiting to use until my current makeup is gone! 🙂
I love that clutch!!!! And I also get excited about new toiletries.
Thanks, girl! New toiletries can brighten a whole morning 🙂
I love Fridays…. They’re evn better when you have a great week! I have a friends wedding tomorrow and I am super excited especially to see ideas!!! Ill keep you posted lol

Okay, I’m totally embarrassed to admit I’ve never read Safe Haven, looks like I have a new book to pick up before seeing the movie!
I absolutely loved it! Let me know what you think if you have a chance to read it! 🙂
LOVE the clutch 🙂 Super cute and springy – perfect for this time of year!
