Alison’s Friday Favorites

It’s Fri-YAY!  Time for another round of my favorite things this week.  Let’s just jump right in!

Favorite #1 – Cheer Competition

We are right in the thick of competitive cheer competition season.  My daughter’s team competed at ACA Nationals last weekend in Fort Worth and won first place in their division!  They were pretty proud of those hard earned jackets.  We have another competition coming up this weekend.

Favorite #2 – Simple Outfits

This was my idea of “spirit wear” for the first day of the competition.  We have team t-shirts but it was cold so I opted to wear a sweater instead.  Their team color is teal so at least my teal cords were “on point”.  🙂

BREAKING NEWS!  These cords are now ON SALE for just $15.88!  Most sizes are still in stock, get them while you can.  I have them in teal, winter white and gray.  Here’s a pic so you can see all three.

Favorite #3 – Wayfair

January seems to be my month for making over rooms in our house.   Last year, we brought the formal living/dining area into this decade and this year it’s our bedroom.

It’s a work in progress but so far, I’ve gotten a new bed and nightstands.  Just about everything that I’ve gotten so far has been from Wayfair. I love them SO much more than traditional furniture stores.  The shipping is fast and free and they have an amazing selection.  There are links below to a few items I’ve gotten from them.

Here’s a tiny sneak peek of our bedroom.  I’ll do a post of the final product when it’s complete.

The linens and decorative items are from HomeGoods.

This is our formal living room.  We gave the walls a coat of light gray paint and added in some updated furniture, lighting and accessories.  Rug, lamps and accessories are all from HomeGoods.

Here are some shots of the formal dining room that we converted into a sitting area.  We actually use it now, unlike when it was a dining room.  🙂

We love turning on the electric fireplace and having a glass of wine in our comfy recliners.

Favorite #4 – Caress Body Wash

Have you tried Caress Fine Fragrance Body Wash yet?  I absolutely LOVE it!  The Love Forever fragrance smells like Valentine’s Day and it’s under $4 a bottle.  The scent really does last up to 12 hours. I woke up in the middle of the night sniffing my arm last night.

Favorite #5 – “Grover” our iRobot Roomba

Meet Grover, he’s our iRobot Roomba and I can’t remember what we did before he came along.  But I do remember dog hair tumbleweeds collecting in all the corners of our house.  I set Grover to run once a day and we never see those pesky hair balls anymore.  If you have pets and don’t have one yet, do whatever it takes to get one.  I promise you will thank me!
