Happy Friday!

I'm so happy it's Friday. 

It's been a very crazy and very busy week! 
I'm so excited to bring back the 5 on Friday today. It's definitely been a while.

Today's 5 on Friday is geared towards what's currently going on. I've got some great things to help you get through the quarantine.

5. Pink Joggers
These look so cozy! They are a bestseller! 

2. 5 Shows I want to Watch
1. Breaking Bad
We just started this right before everything happened.
2. Love is Blind
I know I'm SUPER behind on this one, but I've been busy. Can't wait to start it. 
3. Little Fires Everywhere
This one just came out. Need to get a Hulu account.
4. Elite
I've heard so many good things about this show. I'm super excited to start it. 
5. A Million Little Things
So many people have told me to watch this. It's honestly been on my "to-watch" list for almost a year. Hoping I can finally get around to watching.

3. 5 books I want to read

1. Jessica Simpson Open Book
This has been in my cart since it came out! 
2. In Five Years
I just heard about this book the other morning. It sounds so interesting. Definitely at the top of my list! 
3. Winter in Paradise
I have read a few books from this author and loved them. 
4. Daisy Jones & The Six
I'm really excited to read this book. It's currently in my cart along with 15 other books.
5. Where the Crawdads Sing
This has been on my list forever! Hoping to finally read it during this quarantine. 

Bonus 3. 5 Books I've read recently and recommend
1. The After Series
I LOVEEEEDD this series! It would be a great one to start because the books are longggg. 
2. The Wife Between & An Anonymous Girl
2 for 1 because they are by the same author. I really enjoyed these books. They are a little intense. Just a warning.
3. The Unhoneymooners
This is a good lighthearted quick read. 
4. The Perfect Couple
I love this author. This was my favorite book I've read by her. A little mystery, but not super intense. 
5. How to Walk Away
I liked this book more than I thought I would. 

4. 5 Organizational things I love

I feel like so many people are using this time to clean and organize. (Myself included)
Here are 5 pieces I have from Amazon that I love
1. Storage for Sunglasses
I love this storage for all my sunglasses. I put all the ones I wear regularly on top and the ones I wear less on the bottom.
2. Makeup Organizer
This is probably one of my favorite pieces I've bought from Amazon.
3. Shoe Organizer
I don't have this, but I think I need it! 
4. Makeup/Skincare Organizer
I like this for products I use everyday and my brushes.
5. Earring Organizer & Jewelry Organizer
I have one piece that is these two pieces together and it's great for all my jewelry. 

5. 5 At Home Workouts to Try
1. Tone It Up App
They are currently offering a free membership. 
2. POPSUGAR Fitness
I've done a few workout classes on this platform before. I believe it's also free.
3. Bikini Body Guide
I've done this before (not all the way through) and it's HARD! There's also no equipment needed.
4. Pure Barre On Demand
I had a subscription to this for a year and really liked it every time I used it.
5. Instagram
There are so many people doing at home workouts right now on Instagram live.
I think it's so great how people are coming together during this time. Just search for some and they should come up.

So there you have my quarantine 5 on Friday.
Is there anything else you would like to see from me during this time?
I know this is such a weird/crazy time and I'm trying to keep things as normal as possible around here. However, I think it would be weird to not address it at all.
There will definitely be a mix of content for the next little while.
I hope you all are doing well and are able to enjoy this upcoming weekend!

Five on Friday

Happy Friday y'all!

I wanted to get this post up at lunch, but I ended up in a meeting that ran WAYYY long. I am proud that I am getting this up on Friday instead of Saturday. (If you follow me on instagram you know I wrote this whole post and then I couldn't find it on my computer.)

Now that all of that is out of the way let's jump in to today's Five on Friday!

1. Giveaway with Jord Watches

First, I want to talk about this new watch I received from Jord Watches. I love unique pieces and this watch definitely fits that category. Their watches are made out of wood and I must say they are all really beautiful and different. I went with the Zebrawood and Champagne face but they have so many beautiful watches to choose from. Another thing that sets them apart is you can get your watch engraved. This makes them a great gift option. Lastly if you have an Apple Watch and aren’t in the market for an entirely new watch they have Apple Watch Bands. (I might have to get one of those soon.) Now for the fun part… I’m currently running a giveaway for you to win your very own watch. The winner will receive $100 towards the watch of their choice plus free shipping. All you have to do is click here and fill out your name, email address and tell them which watch is your favorite.

You can also use code “fashionablylateblonde” for $25 off your purchase if you don’t want to wait for the giveaway to end.

2.   5 beauty products I love right now.

-L’Occitane Almond DeliciousHands. I received a sample of the Almond Milk Concentrate in one of my Play! Boxes and thought it would be great to use on my hands. I loved it so much I decided to buy the specific hand cream. I usually have pretty dry hands and this stuff has been amazing!

-Fresh Floral Toner. The girl that did my makeup this weekend used this on me and I loved it. First of all it smells amazing. Second it can be used before your makeup as a primer, after your makeup as a setting spray, or throughout the day to refresh. I was in the market for something to refresh my makeup mid-day or before HH after a long day of work and this stuff has worked well.

-Make Up For Ever Lipstickin Rose Wood. Y’all are honestly probably sick of seeing this lip color. I got it a few months back in my Play! Box and I’m obsessed. I love it layered with my NYX butter gloss in Praline but it’s also equally as gorgeous by itself.

-Too Faced Better than SexMascara. Lashes are one of my things. I love big bold lashes. (Probably because mine are blonde and you can’t see them.) It takes a lot of mascara for me to feel ready to walk out the door; so I am always testing new mascaras. I had wanted to try this one forever, and I’m so glad I finally did. It gives so much volume, but doesn’t leave your lashes spider like.

- It Cosmetics CC Cream. I love this stuff for summer. It’s got SPF 50, covers so well but is super lightweight. I picked up a new tube for summer the other day when they were giving you this brush as a gift with purchase. I usually use my beauty blender, but can’t wait to try the brush. You better believe I will be using this every single day in Mexico.

3.  New Favorite TV Show

I am obsessed with the new show The Resident on FOX.

I watch entirely too much TV. I literally watch almost every show on Bravo, This is Us, plus I committed the rest of my life to Grey’s Anatomy when I started season 1 episode 1 on Netflix a few months back but I decided why not add 1 more. Hah

It has Emily Van Camp (for you Revenge fans), Matt Czuchry (where are my Gilmore Girls fans?) and it’s about doctors so I was like COUNT ME IN! I also like it because it’s the one show J and I watch together that he doesn’t totally hate. If you haven’t started watching it I highly recommend checking it out. It comes on Mondays at 9pm on Fox. It’s been on a 2 week hiatus during the Olympics so I can’t wait for it to return.

4.    Need2Know

I think it’s extremely important to stay on top of what’s going on in the world. I also know it’s not the easiest thing to watch the news everyday. This is why I love Need2Know. It’s a daily email (Monday-Friday) sent straight to your inbox with 8-10 headlines of what’s going on. It has a little sentence or two about each thing and also a link to an article if you want to read more. I get it sent to my work inbox and spend the first 10 minutes of my day finding out about what’s going on in the world and then I feel educated and aware or things that are happening.

5.  5 things I’m craving for spring

-This pink and white stripe top from Madewell. I love the peplum hem and think it would be perfect with jeans, shorts, or skirts all spring/summer long.

-I’ve been seeing these fun high waist bikinis everywhere. The price tag is a little much but they are definitely cute.

-I have been seeing this style straw bag everywhere! It’s definitely not practical for every day use but would be perfect for a vacation or on weekends.

-These really fun earrings from BaubleBar. I found a similar pair a few months back and thought they were so funky and fun! J thought I was cray cray! Haha

-White jeans. I feel like you typically have to replace white denim often but I especially need to replace mine because having a puppy and wearing white jeans does not mix…at all!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. Mine will be pretty low key. Dinner with a friend tomorrow and brunch on Sunday to celebrate my Mom's b-day a few days early!
