Five on [the last] Friday [before Christmas]

1.

The fabulous Courtney Kerr turned 34 yesterday and shared 34 things she's learned along the way in life. They are all wonderful and if you don't subscribe to her blog What Courtney Wore you should! 

Prayer works miracles and is powerful.

Beauty rest is a real thing. I sleep almost 10 hours a night!

Money is better spent on a good skincare regimen than a pair of shoes.

Red lipstick can change your entire mood.

Listen twice and speak once.  We’ve got 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason.

Earlier this week I blogged about The Maine releasing a cover of You Get What You Give and mentioned the upcoming release of their EP Covers Side A.  Well today is the day!! All the tracks are amazing, no surprise there. But I am personally still having a 90s white girl moment that they covered Backstreet Boys.

I've mentioned how much I love the Southern Weddings website and products here before but they have so many hidden gems even us single girls can appreciate. This week my discovery was their Southern Newlywed At Home profiles!! These houses and decor are incredible, so many great decorating ideas.

Thanks to the awesome Sara Matthews I got to try Rocksbox for free! This is like Birchbox for the jewelry obsessed. After taking a short survey about my personal style and what events I'd like to be styled for, aka work or weekends or fun, I got to build my wish list from amazing designers like Kendra Scott and Loren Hope. You get three pieces a month can even add to your wish list via Instagram. I can't wait for my box to arrive next week.

There is a new royal family picture, just released this morning!
I mean how beautiful is this family? I just love them.

ONE WEEK TILL CHRISTMAS!!
And don't forget to send off some Christmas cheer to Safyre Terry if you haven't yet!
