Friday Favorites #174

Happy Friday Foxy Friends! Today we're road tripping it up to Northern California to do a whirlwind trip of visiting 3 different families in 5 days. We got this. Sorry not too many posts this week...just wasn't feeling it, ya know? Anyway, here are my favorites from the week:

Last Friday was my day off and my parents and I decided to go down to San Clamente pier to enjoy pier things and beach things. Also this is where we took our family photos 3 years ago. But the kids loved it.

View from where I was sitting at lunch.

Wasn't too busy on a Friday morning.

Lunch was delicious, will definitely go back here again. It's called Oyster Bar.

Shrimp tacos.

Baby Fox found a man fishing on the pier and stuck up a conversation, the fisherman said he could reel in a fish if he caught one. Baby Fox patiently waiting probably 30 minutes, and then we had leave, as we were walking away the man screams, I caught one!

So Baby Fox reeled in his first fish.

Then we got ice cream, cause isn't that what you do after you fish?

Went home caught up on stuff and then went to concert in a park, so fun. Although the band was...well we had fun with our friends.

Dancing fools.

Saturday was cousin day, we meet up with my cousins and their kids at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

And guess who was there? The Helpful Honda People (have you heard of them? Or is it just a Southern California thing?), anyway, they are from Honda and they do random acts of kindness, and we got a free backstage tour from them!

I highly recommend doing it if you can.

Sunday we did church, this is the donut crew.

And then we headed out for a birthday party. The kids got these swim caps from my aunt, so cute right?

More donuts!

I finally got to meet this little guy.

The posts I did manage to get out:

Wednesday: NSale Keeps
Thursday: Sentence A Day

Speaking of Sentence a Day, it's only August 3rd, you should join us next month! It's the first Thursday of the month. All you have to do is write one sentence each day. I love going back and reading my sentence from the month. Ideally you write one each day, but in reality I skip a few days and catch up.

Oh and I did manage to edit a video this week and get that out on my YouTube Channel.

Do you guys have a list of things you want to buy? No? Just me? Anyway, here is the list of things I want to buy.

Backstory: I've been watching Mukbangs, I have no idea why this is a thing all of a sudden...but it is, I guess it's like eating with a friend you've never met? Anyway, I've been watching Stephanie Soo's Mukbags and she uses wooden forks and spoons, which had me intrigued, which makes me want to get some for myself...seems better to eat with wood than metal? The only problem with it is, I don't have anywhere to store it in my kitchen. Plus I'm fairly certain Mr. is going to think I'm crazy.

I think it would be better eating off of wood instead of metal? I'm going to contemplating buying these, and ultimately I probably will...so I'll let you know.

Wood Forks / Wood Spoons

I also want to try these curlers out. My cousin has them and says they're great...they might have to be bought soon. 

Happy Weekend!

Sentence A Day: July Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Today is the first Thursday of the month, which means we're all sharing our sentence a day. It's only August 2nd, so join us next month with your sentence a day! Come on you know you want to, it's fun to look back at what you were feeling and thinking, oh yea! That was a cool day. Anyway, let's get started:

1 -Felt like making ribs, corn and baked potato for dinner, hit the spot.

2 -Please no, I don't want to get sick, I get sick every single 4th of July.

3 - Cousin time, so much fun we almost forgot to decorate the bikes for tomorrow!

4 -We did something new for 4th from previous years, but it couldn't have been more fun, bike parade, followed by dinner and movie then firework watching!

5 -I took 4 naps today...enough said.

6 - 104° means a good swimming session is in order.

7 - So, so hot today, but the baseball game was super fun, and the kids didn't seem to mind the heat.

8 - First beach day of the Summer, followed by dinner outside makes for the perfect end of my week off.

9 - Man that wake up time was rough today!

10 -Feeling slightly better today, so I walked/jogged on the treadmill instead of my normal class, better than nothing right?

11 -Swim lessons today, first 10 minutes the kids had the teachers to themselves...who shows up 10 minutes late to a 30 minutes swim lesson?

12 -Received some bad news...we can get through this as a family.

13 -Concert in the park was so fun with the family, Neil Diamond cover band, yes please!

14 -MIL is in town, woo hoo!

15 -BeautyCon LA, so much fun!

16 -Prime Day, Prime Day, Prime Day...I wasn't into it but then all the deals, I jumped on board really quick.

17 - Made it to Circuit class mostly on time, woo hoo.

18 - We opened the microscope we got from Prime Day and now we have two budding scientest, trying to see what everything is made of...the coolest thing so far, is the fabric headband Mini Fox found.

19 -Bunko night, I love these nights with the girls.

20 -Mini Fox is done with her 2nd year of preschool, her school performance was the cutest!

21 -Swimming with friends at their new pool, followed by dinner with family is the perfect kind of day, the 2 hour drive to get there, not so much.

22 - Unexpected day with friends is always the best kind of day.

23 - So happy that Mr. and I have the flexibility to support the people we love, this is going to be a hard 6 months, but we can do it as a family.

24 - Made it home early, so I actually made it to my workout class on time, yay, plus I met a new friend at the gym.

25 - My favorite workout day of the week, 10 minutes late, due to swim lessons, but 50 minutes of workout is better than none.

26 - I love how much Baby Fox loves taking his karate class, makes paying for it worth it when he's not fighting me to go.

27 - Spent my off Friday with my parents down in San Clamente, enjoying lunch, walking on the pier, and talking to a fisherman, pretty much a perfect day, oh and then follow that up with a concert in the park with friends.

28 - Fun day with the cousins at the Aquarium, plus the #SoCalHelpfulHonda people really do exist, we got a free backstage tour thanks to them!

29 - Back to LA we drive for another cousins birthday party!

30 - Gymnastics day, so annoyed that these ladies take up the only table in the place, to chat...don't they know I have blog posts to write and videos to edit?

31 - I made it to my gym class on time and picked up Baby Fox on time, a Christmas miracle.

So what are you waiting for, go open a draft and start with August 1 and 2nd!

What I Got At The #NSale

Hi Foxy Friends. I know you're all sick of hearing about the Nsale, although I haven't heard too much about it just yet. Anyway, I'm going to show you what I got at the NSale.

Ruched Sweater - This sweater is so, so cute, and so soft

 Layered Sweater - Long enough to wear with leggings, and so soft and comfy.

T-shirt - I'm obsessed with these and have them in about 10 colors...6 of them from this sale, can't pass up a good deal.

Leggings - So comfy, and they really do hold all of it in...no muffin top here!

Jeans - Cause everyone needs another pair of jeans.

Colored Jeans - I have been looking for this color for forever, and I love a little raw edge.

Pajama Set - I bought this same one last year and loved it so much I needed to get another color, so comfy!

Night Gown - Again I bought this last year and loved it I needed to get another color.

Boots - Fit like a dream and are so soft and comfy.

Haven't received yet:

I need a new nude bra, I'm hoping this one works.

I'm never tried on spanx like products before. I'm really hoping it helps smooth things out a bit more. here is the spanks skirt, and the spanks shorts I got.

I can't wait to get this blush palette and this bracelet, arriving sometime this weekend.

Contemplating:

These over the knee boots

These booties/Sandals (it's a mix of both?)

So it turns out I like shoes, I'm really wanting to get those OTK boots, but have a feeling they probably won't fit me...boo! But I might have to try!

Sorry no outfit photo, been so busy on the weekends to take pictures...plus I wanted to wait to get my NSALE purchases so I could show them off to you :) Link up your fashion posts below!
