Five on Friday: Daily Essentials Edition!

Goodness gracious this week has absolutely flown by.  I have no idea where the day goes lately!  It must be the days getting dark so early... I cannot believe it's friday already!  Luckily, this week I have been feel MUCH better than I have been lately.  I honestly think it's due to the fish oil and vitamin C I've begun to take in addition to my multivitamin.  I know it's such a pain to remember to take yet another thing but I'm seriously noticing a major difference in how I feel!  Anywho, I thought I'd share some of my favorite every day essentials this week!

{ONE} Lululemon Forme Jacket

So first off, I love me some lulu.  I am obsessed with their leggings and wear them most of the time... either to work, around the house, or to work out.  They are perfect for both yoga as well as amazing to run in.  You don't even feel them!!  All I've gotten from lulu previously has been a few pairs of the wunder under leggings but decided due to cold temps this week I would look into other items.  I grabbed this jacket and haven't wanted to take it off.  The snug fit keeps me warm and cozy and it easily layers underneath a puffy vest.  Seriously perfect!  Yesterday I ran in it and was super pleased with how comfortable I felt.

{TWO} Run With Me Gloves

Another awesome lulu find were these perfect gloves.  My hands are always cold, however, all I own are ski gloves which are bulky and not practical for the every day.  I wanted a pair of gloves to keep me warm when I'm driving to work, walking, running, or just outside!  These babies fit the bill, plus they snap together (awesome) and take up hardly any room in my purse.  Perfection!!

{THREE} New Earrings!!

I was a bit sad to see that a cute local jewelry store was having a going out of business sale until I saw that these solid 14k gold earrings were a measly 25 bucks!  What?!  I quickly snatched them up as I've wanted some for ages but gold is not cheap!  I can't even wear sterling silver earrings anymore (most sensitive ears in the world) and am so happy to have an alternative to my pearls or diamond studs.  Sometimes you just want a different look and I miss being able to switch out my earrings more!  If you're local definitely stop by Karat Patch on providence road.  They've got all their jewelry marked down 50% or more, you could get some major bargains on diamonds and gemstones!

{FOUR} Life Factory Water Bottle

Lately I am all about drinking as much water as I can, but prefer it out of a water bottle.  Recently I've read that it's great to avoid constantly drinking out of plastic water bottles so I splurged and got this guy at earthfare.  I was a little worried about the glass, but so far so good!  I swear water tastes better out of it and I find myself drinking way more water because of that.  Win win?

{FIVE} New Mirror!

While not an essential (although I could argue that) I'm obsessing over this gorgeous mirror that a friend generously gave us.  Michael and I have never had a nice full length mirror and we are really appreciating it (and wondering how we dressed without one).  I think it will look especially amazing in our room once our remodeling projects are completed.

Any daily essentials that you just cannot live without?  Let me know!  I love hearing about new things I should try out!  Otherwise, have a fabulous weekend.  The hubs and I are headed to the mountains...the high is apparently only a measly 40 degrees...hey there winter!
