It's time for my Friday link up with A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals.
On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.
Hello and Happy Friday! I was away last week with my family at Lake Anna so I wasn't able to post Friday Favorites. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and that your a/c is doing some of its best work these days. Goodness, it is hateful outside.
Here are some favorite things from this week.
1. Pullover Top
I had a top similar to this from Madewell that I wore for about seven years straight until all the buttons broke off. I suppose I could sew some new buttons on it, but that seems like a bridge too far for me. Let's blame it on the heat. Also, I'm lazy. I found this simple pullover top on Amazon and it looks pretty close. It comes in a bunch of colors and is a cotton/linen blend. Click the box for 10% off.
2. Supergoop Glow Screen
My sister introduced me to this SuperGoop Glow Screen. It's 40 SPF facial sunscreen with some subtle shimmer in it. I used hers while we were at the lake and I really liked it. It's also got Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B5 and Niacinamide in it. I don't know what any of those things do exactly, but sign me up because I'm a sucker for all the science-y words.
3. Lemon Garlic Parmesan Pasta

It's a struggle for me to find the motivation to cook in general, but in the summer it's even worse. Add to that the fact that the grocery store is my least favorite place on Earth and that means there are some hungry people around here. I found this Lemon Garlic Parmesan Pasta recipe that had all the things I needed in a recipe. I had everything it required in my kitchen already, it seemed summer-y and it was easy. I added some roasted broccoli to it as well as some sliced sausage because my people don't think that a meal without meat as a real thing. It was a hit.
4. Ulta Summer Sale
Ulta is having a big sale through tomorrow and has 40% off on select mascaras. Since the mascara journey is a lifelong one for me, I'm thinking of trying this Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara because Kathleen Jennings told me to. They also have Lancome Definicils Mascara in the sale and it's one of my all time favorites.
5. A Week at the Lake
My dad and my sister and her family came to Virginia for the 4th of July week and we had an amazing time at Lake Anna. We missed my brother and his family who weren't able to make it. More than anything, we missed my mom whose absence I felt every minute. I didn't take many pictures. I'm not sure if that was part of it. We really had so much fun even if there were tears mixed in. I'm still not able to write much about her. Or our experiences without her. I guess because it still makes no sense to me - this life without her. But I know that God is good and He is holding our family up. We are still standing, still laughing, still loving. I am grateful.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends.
