The Friday Five

TGIF!
Last day on service, then off for 2 weeks!

Party on, peeps.  Party on.

And nothing says "party" like...

1.

Bruno Mars singing "Uptown Funk" on Ellen.

I know, I know.  This song is old news.

But considering my toddlers absolutely adore it, we listen to it... A LOT.

And I cannot deny that I'd really like to be a member of this very audience.
Bruno is one funky, little dude, no?

2.

Maybeline "Baby Lips" lipgloss
This drug store discovery is certainly not new to this blog,
but my love and admiration has recently been rekindled
with all the fun, new colors.
Nothing can ever beat subtle color + moisturizing balm.
In fact, they're right up there with this for just a fraction of the price!

3.
Date night
Lake Park Bistro.  On a Wednesday.  Just because.
Hells to the yes.
Bonus: Free dessert for being "favorite table of the night"!
As if you're surprised.
We are people who relish special treatment...and don't get out much!

4.
Outdoor dining spaces
Is it time yet? Is it time yet?
We Midwesterners have been really patient.

5.

10-minute Barre Workouts

Supplement to cardio and/or better-than-nothing-on-busy-days.

If you're not hurting afterwards, then you're not doing it right.

And a few more fun links...

Guess what's back on Monday night?  Yessssssss.  So bad, yet so good.

How to style your console table.

Where to grab a rooftop beer in the MKE.

Continuing Ed for the post-college decades.  Consider me enrolled!

Salted chocolate chunk cookies.  You had me at "salted chocolate."

A graphic warning to skip the tanning bed.  Eeeks.

This color for my next mani, please.

A West Village apartment that'll make you wish you were this Boho chic.

Word.

Happy Friday, y'all!
