Friday's Favorite Five

It's Friday!


Every Friday I post 5 of my favorite things that I've come across.  They may be anything from decor ideas to clothes or unique items on etsy or a must-see website.  Who knows... maybe it will inspire you!


Here are my 5 favorite finds this week:

 1.  Golden flatware - It's perfect to dress up a rustic table.


2.  Vintage Pyrex - the colors are vibrant and the patterns are so fun!  You can't have just one piece of vintage pyrex.  My favorite is the Amish Butterprint collection.


My Vintage Pyrex, revisited! (explored! #125)

3.  Faded Leopard Print Skinny Jeans - Leopard print is all over the place again, but this is one easy way to wear it in a muted version.  Current Elliott makes the pricey pair that is pictured below.  Target has a cheaper version however they are currently sold out online. (second picture below)


4.  The Panama Hat - It's cool, casual and has California lifestyle written all over it.  Love it!





5. Hotel San Carlos in Phoenix, AZ - This hotel is rated as the 3rd most haunted hotel in America. [cool!]  During the first year that the hotel opened in 1928, a young woman commit suicide by jumping off of the rooftop.  For an interesting adventure, stay in her room - number 720.  If that room is occupied already, ask for room 704, where a murder took place in the 1960s.  Aside from the 7th floor activity, the 6th floor has a room with a special painting of a child.  Supposedly the eyes seem to watch and follow you, and caused many guests to check out.

If you're not brave enough for that, go on a ghost tour where you will visit parts of the hotel that are off-limits to the public.  The basement is another hot spot where a few young children had drown in the well, when the building used to be a schoolhouse.  It is said that guests have complained about children laughing and knocking on their doors, even when there were no children in the hotel at the time.  You can read more about the ghostly activity that one paranormal team encountered during their investigation.  Sign me up please!

Friday's Favorite Five

Every Friday I will post 5 of my favorite things that I've come across.  They may be anything from decor ideas to clothes or unique items on etsy or a must-see website.  Who knows... maybe it will inspire you!


1-  This baby banana bendable training toothbrush is the cutest toothbrush I've ever seen!  It's bendable and soft, made of high quality silicone, and dishwasher/freezer friendly (perfect for teething!).  

2- I love these ceramic owl banks with a vintage flare.  These owls are made to order on etsy by fruitflypie.  This would be perfect for an accent for a pop of color.  The etsy shop is filled with vintage inspired ceramics - owls, frogs, mushrooms, etc.

3- Use coffee filters as wall art.  I came across this idea here.  All you need are coffee filters and flat thumbtacks.  I wish we didn't have plaster walls, so that I could do this!

4- Here's a fun DiY project that is on my TO DO list:  plastic spoon mirror.  I came across this idea from Country Living magazine. We go to the local frozen yogurt place for a sweet treat all the time, and always bring home their (biodegradable) spoons.  Now I have something to use them for.... and I suppose eventually my mirror frame will slowly disappear as it biodegrades!  ;)   I will do a how-to post on this once I complete the project so stay tuned!
5- Now this is the perfect gadget for anyone who prefers to eat corn OFF the cob.  It's a corn kerneler!  I love how the corn kernels are collected inside the ring.  That's so much better than trying to saw them off with a knife and watching the kernels fly everywhere except your plate.  But my kids love to eat the corn on the cob so that saves me a lot of trouble.

Sometimes people just need a subtle reminder...  I love the neon yellow frame too.  You can easily make one with any frame and a can of spray paint!

Crepe cake... so good!  I've only had them while visiting in Japan, but with a little patience and a lot of work, I'm sure I can whip one up... It's basically a stack of crepes with sweet whipped cream spread between each layer.  YUM.



Hot pink beach cruiser.  This would be so much fun to ride down the coast on the boardwalk.




Fried pickles are every pregnant woman's dream - with a little ice cream on the side of course.  And I'm not pregnant, but these are quite dreamy to me too.  Here's a recipe to make them at home!




EWG: Environmental Working Group is a non-profit group that provides you with research and guides that help you to live a safe and healthy lifestyle.  They conduct their research with the money raised from donations.  On their site, there are lots of guides to help you choose the best and safest products for you and your family - cosmetic safety database, sunscreen guide, cell phone radiation guide, and shoppers guide for avoiding pesticides in produce.

The top 3 produce items that you should buy organic (because they have the highest pesticide exposure) are:

1. Apples - Eaten daily by many children, 98 percent of conventional apples had pesticides
2. Celery - Highly contaminated, celery tested positive for 57 different pesticides.
3. Strawberries - A delicious snack for kids and pests, some strawberries had as many as 13 different pesticides.


Stay tuned for next weeks favorite five on Friday!
