Five on Friday - April 17, 2015

I'm linking up for another Five on Friday! I feel like this week was super busy, plus my son was sick on top of everything! Hope everyone had a great week!

ONE

Soup of the week - homemade tomato soup! This soup is actually so easy to make - literally about as long as it takes to heat up a can of tomato soup on the stove and it tastes so good! The recipe can be found here, from The Pinning Mama! Yum - and sadly, that is not a homemade cheese bun (I let the store do the majority of the work this week!)

TWO

I'm so sad to say this, but I cancelled my Nina Garcia subscription! Or hopefully, am only skipping this season! I love getting Nina's boxes, they always feel like such a splurge! But, with everything going on with the wedding and honeymoon costs (plus this job crap from my fiance and I), it just didn't feel right. Plus, I don't love a ton of hair stuff, so I am hoping I can re-subscribe for the Summer box! 

THREE

I have found a miracle acne product - Innisfree Jeju Bija Anti-Trouble Spot Patch - $3.83 for 12 patches. So easy to use - you feel a big pimple coming or it is already emerging, put this one overnight and bam! gone - I couldn't believe it! I ordered a bunch of masks from Innisfree a while ago and was actually hesitant to order these because I wasn't sure they were going to work! Now I am already getting more in case I run out. 

From what you can see though, I have only tried one so it may not be as miraculous every time, but I was very impressed!

It was my fiance and I's 3rd Anniversary this past week and here is the gift he picked up for me:
A Wine-of-the-month Club! Comes with 6 different wines each month! It's amazing how well he knows me - a subscription and wine seem like the perfect combination to me! You can look forward to some of these in the weekly wine feature! 

FIVE
Eeeeek - I think most of you know by now my obsession with adorable skincare items! I recently reviewed a Baviphat Strawberry Mask and I had to see what other adorable fruits this company made! Low and behold, I found these tiny little gems on ebay! For $6.99 I received:
  • Peach All-in-One Peeling Gel
  • Lemon Whitening Sleeping Pack
  • Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack 
This was also some of the quickest shipping from overseas I have received! Have you guys tried these before? I'm so excited to test them out! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! XoXo

  1. I am going to have to check that trouble spot patch out! That seems like a great idea! I've never heard of Innisfree before. Do you use them a lot?

    1. I only recently heard of them as well - I made an online order when they had a great deal on sheet masks! So they only other product I have used is their sheet masks and they are awesome!
