Eat and Sip in the City

5 on Friday – Favorites – 2/5/16

Thanks for all the comments recently – I love when you guys comment, even when they are silly or random, ha! Then I know it’s worth writing and sharing a small piece of my life with ya’ll, so please do continue to say hi!

I know I haven’t written as much as usual. I am not really sure why. The winter blues? Stressed about my mom (she has Parkinson’s disease and isn’t getting the proper care she needs; long story.)? Busy with the small biz…Yes. Preoccupied with working my “day job,” yes. Trying for a baby with no luck yet, yup. Anyways, here I am on this snowy day in Boston, and here is what I am loving lately!

1. Favorite in subscription boxes – 

My February Stitch Fix was filled with some fun pieces. BUT I still am yet to keep the whole box (boo!)! As a recap to how it works, you pay a styling fee ($20). Get 5 items shipped each month, styled for you based on your size and fashion sense. You choose to keep the whole box, for a discount. Or pay for each item you keep individually, and return what you don’t like. Here is what came…

I kept this beauty – I figure it is versatile for winter and spring, a pattern and color I wouldn’t normal pick out, and flattering too!

2. Favorite in food – 

I am trying to incorporate healthier eats into my diet lately and have found some brands/products I am really lovin.

3. Favorite in entertainment – 

I have been obsessed with a Bravo TV show, Girlfriends Guide to Divorce. I had a marathon of episodes from season 1 and 2 and am now caught up. It is like Sex in the City where there is a group of girls that are friends and dealing with different issues and milestones like divorces, pregnancies, etc, and the star is a writer, working on her next book, while you guessed it, trying to navigate a divorce.

4. Favorite in drinks – 

New favorite drink! If you like orange soda, you will love Henry’s. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw my post last night, lovin the new spiked  drink. It is not the kind of thing I could drink a whole six pack of, but it is really good!

5. Favorite from the wedding – 

We finally got some of the thank you cards out in the mail, from last summers wedding! They matched the invitations from Wedding Paper Divas. We still have more thank you cards to send, a few gifts that need to be packed away since we have no room to use them in this apartment (mostly kitchen stuff), and I still need to bring my dress to get preserved. Slowly but surely, we will!

Thank You Card

That’s all for now! What about you; any favorites from the week?

    I have seen the commercials for Henry’s and really want to try them! Have you tried any of their other flavors? I think the hard ginger ale looks great too. I actually posted a few of my favorite things in my post today but my current favorite is this snow day! 😉 Enjoy!

    I drank some beer root beer. Not bad but a bit sweet.
    Guess this Henry’s must be like that. I’d mix it with tequila for an extra jolt, now that’s worth a blog post. Hahaha lol

    Someone earlier asked Katy what her favorite lifesaver flavor is. She never answered . I like orange and lime. ..can’t imagine a whole blog about lifesaver flavors. But with so many flavors it kind of makes sense.

      Nooo her blog isnt lifesavers – it is savor lifes flavors …aka she shares food and recipes on her site 🙂

    That’s so funny that lifesaver Katy likes the hard snow day flavored Henry’s. Bet it’s really clean tasting and probably a little lemony flavored.

    Happy you’re back into the blogosphere world again.

    Trying for a baby has to be fun….hahaha my sister got pregnant when she stopped trying. She just stopped thinking about it, smoked a little weed before sex, experimented with anal and a few months later, bingo she was pregnant.

    She swears the idea of thinking and trying to hard was too much pressure and she discovered that she was a bit kinkier than she thought. And her husband got his wish to do her backside.
