Welcome to the 22nd Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop! Each Friday I highlight five of my favorite things from the past week, and link up with Mom’s Got Mail.
- Favorite drink:
Ok so I dont have a photo of our version but the fiance made up a cocktail concoction last night that was amazing! It was spiked frozen strawberry lemonade. He took lemonade, lime juice, fresh strawberries, rum, and ice and tossed it in the blender! I found a yummy similar Martha recipe here, but without the alcohol.
2. Favorite in food:
Another recipe we kind of tossed together was cheese (cream cheese and shredded chedder cheese) stuffed jalapenos (from the garden!) wrapped in bacon, put on skewers, and grilled! Whoa. Best idea ever! Similar recipe found here.
3. Favorite fashion freebie:
Have you guys signed up for or heard of influenster? I was lucky enough to be a #VSSportTester and I received a sports bra and work out pants complimentary for testing purposes! If you want to join, give me your email and I can send you the invite! Also if you want me to mail you a coupon for Victoria’s Secret active wear, they sent coupons and I can pop that in the mail! Anyways back to the bra and pants….
I will spare you a pic of me in the outfit but I love the shape and fit of the bra and that is is smooth under a shirt. It has a clasp to loosen and tighten on the back. And I of course love the full coverage and the color combo of black and grey that I received.
The pants aren’t quite my style because i like more of a bootcut for pants and only like a tighter bottom on work out pants when they are capris since I have wider hips but I will keep them on hand for when I feel more confident about my lower half!
4. Favorite in entertainment:
OMG. Did anyone else see the movie Houdini on the History channel! We watched the first part last night and will hopefully watch the rest this evening! SO good.
5. Favorite place I went this week:
The beach! I never seem to get the fiance Sal to want to go and today was a victory! We stayed for only three hours but hey – I will take it!
What about you – what are this weeks faves?
Those bacon wrapped jalapeños sound amazing! I signed up for Influenster last year but never did anything with it.
I think you literally just have to log in and poke around and take surveys and then they choose you for the samples and freebies based on your answers and your social media followers numbers 😉
Those jalapenos look awesome. I’m on Incfluenster and have gotten a couple boxes but the VS one looked great. I wish I would have gotten that one.
I feel like influenster is awesome because it is so sporadic – randomly i got a survey for the bra and for the keurig and somehow got picked for both! I am sure they will pick you for more fun ones too in the near future when you least expect it 🙂
Have to so try that grilled stuffed cheese jalapeno! Sounds so much yummier than just a plain ‘ol cream cheese or cheddar cheese popper!
It came out sooo delicious and easy too 🙂
And the best thing about those jalapeños is that they are grilled and not deep fried.
They look yummy to the max. Sal sounds like he’s a great cook…maybe you two could open a small plates restaurant in he Malden area
I need to get some new activewear, I haven’t bought any in years. The VS stuff looks nice. I’d seen it advertised on their site, but hadn’t heard what anyone thought of it yet. Sounds promising (plus they sent me some coupons in the mail over the weekend)!
I usually just get cheap active wear at old navy or target so the VS is a major upgrade !!
Not surprised that Sneaky Burrito luvs the stuffed jalapeños. Just look at her name…hahaha
Get it? Jalapeños are good in burritos because they supply sneaky heat.
I LUV carnitas stuffed burritos with extra jalapeños and a cold Dos Equis
I am getting the VS package from Influenster too! Mine isn’t here yet. I will probably not post a shot of the sports bra full on, either, because there are some real pervs out there (that is my excuse, that, and back fat).
The water looks amazing-I am a teensy bit jealous that you live so close to the water. I am going to try your grilled pepper recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
I agree…there are some sick – os trolling the Internet. But I don’t think they care about fat back.
Even if you don’t live near Revere Beach like we do, isn’t their a lake or pond or something like maybe a river where you could walk?
Water can be calming, Michelle and Sal are so lucky to live near Revere Beach.
Then again you may live in the desert.
