Friday Five & A Giveaway



Hey All!
Remember me?
I took an unexpected blogging break
 due to a family illness.
Things have finally gotten back to normal
and I have time for this little space of mine.
Thank you all for sticking with me.
It means the world to me.


Without further ado, here are my Friday Five.


Song

Drag Me Down by One Direction

I'm loving this song.
Been listening to it non-stop.




Reading

The Rock Star in Seat 3A

I was cleaning out my closet the other day and came across this book. 
My mom had given it to me. I decided to read it that evening.
It was a very quick read, it took me like two days to read it. 
My thoughts?? I hated it. It's an old story that you probably have 
already read about and can easily predict how it will end.
My suggestion is to skip it. 

Barnes & Noble

Beauty

Atelier Cologne
Collection Azur – Mandarine Glaciale
I got a sample of this in my Play! by Sephora box 
and absolutely love it. It smells so good. 
 It's a great scent for the fall.



Purchase
Street Level Reversible Faux Leather Tote

Does this look familiar? 
If it does, it is because I bought this same bag in navy
over the summer during the Nordies Anniversary sale. When I saw
that it also came in gray, I knew I had to have it. It's only $48 dollars,
 so I didn't think having two was that big of a deal. Clearly, i have
 addiction to purses. Sick, I know.  Is there a support group 
for purse addicts??

Nordstrom

That wraps up my Friday Five.
I have tomorrow off and I'm thrilled.
I've been working non-stop, so I'm happy
to have a day to do a little bit of nothing.
Rest and relaxation is all I got planned.

Have a Wonderful Weekend.

What are your favorites this week?
Let me know, I love hearing from you!
Best, Marie
