Hey Friends! Happy Friday!
First up, I have another little Instagram Story hint to share. Last week I told you how my Insta Story skills are lacking MAJORLY! So I vowed to learn some tip or trick weekly {hopefully} and share it with you! I’m a bit nervous about this one because there might be a quicker easier way than what I’m suggesting. If there is, PLEASE share with us!
An Instagram Story video can only be fifteen seconds so WHAT do you do when you have a video you’d like to share that’s longer? Here are my hints…
*You can be watching the little recording timer and make sure you ONLY record videos fifteen seconds or less.
*OR…you can download the Cut Story App. Allow the app to have access to your photos and videos and then you can select a video. It will cut the video down into several fifteen seconds increments so then you can post to Insta Story. The app was super easy for me to work. If I can do it, trust me, YOU CAN TOO! 🙂
That’s my helpful hint for the week.

I’m not the best at book reviews because I’ve shared before the SECOND I close the book I can’t remember any details. This year I thought instead of sharing book review posts, I’ll just throw books in my Friday Favorites every time I finish. I have a couple this week because of our out of town trips.
I was a big fan of this one! This is told from two sisters’ points of view. These sisters don’t have a close relationship, but after both of them go through major life events they learn to lean on each other like never before. Chick-lit at it’s finest, in my opinion! {Rated R for language…someone asked me to mention ratings. :)}
In this novel, a freshly married couple’s world is rocked when the husband is killed. The wife has never even met her husband’s family {I’m talking FRESHLY married couple} and has to learn how to handle the grief when her FOREVER suddenly becomes INTERRUPTED. {Rated R for language and maybe some scenes.}
When the character’s fiance’ dumps her abruptly, she pretty much has a one way ticket on the Hot Mess Express. After lots of coaxing from friends and family, she lands a job in the admissions department of a New York City school, where it’s super competitive and following along is highly entertaining. I liked this one because I think it’s so interesting to read about city life in New York City because it’s SO different from my suburbs. {Rated R for language}

I found a couple goodies I own that are on sale and wanted to share those with you!
This cardigan is on sale-at 40% off. It comes in two other colors and my favorite thing is the colors are very “winter”. It doesn’t look like fall or Christmas so you can wear this one NOW!
I bought this tie bell sweater back in the fall and now it’s 40% off. The grey is sold out, but it comes in black and a cute lilac.
And my jeans are 33% off now as well.
These cozy fleece pajamas are on major sale and come in a variety of other colors-stripes, polka dots, etc. that are just winter.
This casual top is on sale 40% off as well.

My FAVORITE product of the week {I’ll do my best to keep this up all year as well} is the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil. Have you heard of this? In the winter months, my skin gets CRAZY dry. Like I’m talking I should look different every spring because of the amount of dry skin I flake off every winter. I got this shower oil for Christmas and I’m a BIG fan. When you lather up with this oil, it becomes a thick foam. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated. If you struggle with dry skin, check this out!
I’ll go back to my Bath and Body Works’ shower gel in the spring and summer, but this will be my go to in the fall and winter.
*************************
I need your help! What’s your FAVORITE eye cream? It’s time for me to purchase something new {almost all out} and I’d love to give something new a try. Please send me your recommendations!

I’m probably like the majority of you guys…trying my best to start 2018 being more healthy and let me tell you new workout clothes are one way to get me motivated. I grabbed these pants, this bra, and this top last week at the mall. I had some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket. 😉 I wore it earlier this week all day, did an at-home workout, and ran some errands. I wore it tied because the top is a little longer but when I go to the gym I probably won’t tie it.

If you missed it, I hosted Tuesday Talk with Ashley, where I shared a little problem Tab and I are having with the key fob in my car. You guys are passionate about keeping up with your keys and totally delivered when I asked your opinion. The consensus is I need to carry a purse with me at ALL TIMES and leave my keys in there. I should also get Tab his own key. 🙂 I must tell you my FAVORITE answer was, “Your car. Your rules. Put that key fob on the console, Tab”. hahaha!
*************************
for some Q and A posts so I’m giving them to you. The first one (and most highly requested) is a Q and A post with Tab! A lot of you have football related questions you wanted to ask, so please ask away. You can leave a comment here or e-mail me at alittlebitofeverything83@yahoo.com.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope your Friday is fabulous! XO
