Top Five Friday #58
Happy Friday everyone! It's seriously feeling like summer over here lately. This week was a pretty warm one, so I've been enjoying spending lots of time outside with Selma and Dan, drinking a nice cool drink and soaking up the sun.
This was a great week for me, and I have lots of fun products and other stuff to talk about today.
On Wednesday, the city held a championship parade. Luckily, I work downtown so I got to go (along with 400,000 other fans). It was so cool to see all of the players and see the Cup in person. There was so much excitement, and now I'm pumped for baseball and football season- maybe we can get the trifecta this year?!
The Bachelorette: I think we can all agree that Chad is crazy, but he at least provided a bit of excitement and drama on the show. The rest of the guys seem alright, but are a little boring. So far I'm loving Luke, and I'm happy they featured Pittsburgh in the last episode!
UnReal: This show is so great! I love the premise of the second season already and can't wait to see how the drama will unfold.
America's Got Talent: It's fun to watch auditions, but there are so many great acts already that I love that it's hard to discuss it! Some standouts for me so far are Malevo, The Clairvoyants, and Linkin Bridge. I'm excited for the next few rounds when they start cutting people so I can really tell who my favorites are!
Orange is the New Black: I'm WAY behind on this show, but since the new season comes out today I need to get caught up! Is anyone else out there a fan of the show? What did you think of the third season?
I hope you all have a great weekend! I'll see you on Monday :)

Stanley Cup Champions!
In case you didn't hear, the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup this year! This was the fourth time that the Pens won, and our city's first championship since the 2008/2009 season when the Steelers and Penguins both won their respective championships. That was a good year :)source |

Herbal Essences Body Envy Mousse
I have really flat, fine hair, and I'm always looking for products to give me a bit of volume. I usually stay away from mousse because they tend to make my hair feel crunchy. But, I saw a few really good reviews for this one, and I usually love Herbal Essences products, so I gave it a try. The reviews were all completely accurate because I love this mousse! Not only does it give my hair lots of natural volume, but it also prevents humidity frizz and smells so good. If you're looking for a new product, give this one a try! I just picked it up at Target and it was on sale :)Summer Fashion
I love when it warms up, because that means I can bust out my dresses and rompers. This week at work, I wore one of my favorite summer dresses. I got it last year from HM and it's super comfortable, and I love the bright flowers on it.
dress : Old from HM (similar)
cardigan : Old from JCrew Factory (current version)
shoes : Target
TV Lately
I'm slowly catching up on all of my favorite shows this summer! Here are a few that I'm currently watching:The Bachelorette: I think we can all agree that Chad is crazy, but he at least provided a bit of excitement and drama on the show. The rest of the guys seem alright, but are a little boring. So far I'm loving Luke, and I'm happy they featured Pittsburgh in the last episode!

Sephora Sun Safety Kit
Just a head's up- the annual Sephora Favorites kit, packed full of high-end sun screens and other fun products, is now available online at sephora.com! I ordered this last year, and it was such an amazing value for what you get. I loved trying out all kinds of different products, and didn't have to buy any sunscreen or skin products all summer long. It's a $127 value for only $32. If you're interested in picking one up, I would recommend getting it soon because these always sell out really quickly!
I hope you all have a great weekend! I'll see you on Monday :)

ohhh I like the looks of that kit from Sephora!
ReplyDeleteI thought you would like it!
DeleteThat dress is ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suz!
DeleteThe Pens parade was amazing!! this is my first year living here that any of the teams have won a championship so this was really special for me. i <3 Sid. And, I highly doubt the Pirates will get anywhere this year but HEY - back in December, the Pens weren't doing so hot either & look how that turned out! Yay for Pittsburgh sports!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were here for it! Who knows with the pirates..you can never count them out!
DeleteLove the dress and the floral print! I am so bored with my summer tv right now. I need to find some new shows to watch
ReplyDeleteI agree..there isn't that much out right now!
DeleteI was obsessed with OITNB but then last season I couldn't even really get into it. I feel like i need to try again! And can we agree that Jordan is annoying on the Bachelorette? I don't know why, but he rubs me the wrong way. And Alex. He's just like a tiny nugget of annoying. But Luke <333333
ReplyDeleteI took a long break and now I'm starting back in and I'm enjoying it! They just introduced a bunch of new characters so that's helping.
DeleteI'm so happy for the Pens that they won! It was such a hard fought journey for them and i still kinda can't believe it, honestly. I still love reminding Kevin that I'm clearly good luck because I ran the Pittsburgh Marathon and then they won the Stanley Cup. Just sayin'!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you'll get the trifecta as long as my Packers have something to say about it! Again :-D
Yes you are good luck!
DeletePENNNNNNNNSSSSSS!!!! I am in love with UnReal! but slightly disappointed in this season so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling conflicted about it now..the premier was good but now I'm not that into it...we'll see!
DeleteThat is a great deal for all those Sephora products. I will have to go There soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you like it!
DeleteI love your dress! And I can't wait to watch the new season of OITNB! It's one of very few TV shows I'm still excited about.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen!
DeleteAmerica's got Talent is such a fun show! Also that dress is super cute! :)) <3
ReplyDeleteThanks emily!
DeleteThat's awesome that you were able to go to the parade. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy OitNB. Excited for this season to see where it goes. A good binge watch show with the wife who also likes it.
Such a good show! Dan won't watch it with me, so I'm a little jealous you watch with your wife :) Enjoy it!
DeleteI absolutely LOVE your dress!!
ReplyDeleteI wish they could just have Chad walking around giving commentary, because that part was absolutely hilarious. However, the borderline abuse wasn't cool.
I also LOVE UnReal.
I agree..he was kinda hilarious when he wasn't being a bully. If only he wasn't a psycho I would have liked him!
DeleteI was happy for you guys that Penguins won the cup! What a cool experience, and I love how the city transforms. So much energy and happiness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hockey support!
DeleteUnReal is a hidden gem. I secretly love the show and my mom and I always ave the Bachelorette so we can watch them right after one another!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect! I love both :)
DeleteThat dress is super cute! I am still working on Jesse to watch UnReal! Now we've started Prison Break I know he won't want to watch anything but that until we're finished - but it's on our to-watch list! Haha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with convincing him :)
DeleteI <3 all of your faves! I gotta try that mousse, and the Sephora kit, for sure.
ReplyDeleteHope you like them!
