Friday Favorites: Flying into the Holiday Weekend | Louisville Blogger

Happy Friday & holiday weekend friends!  I get a lot of questions about What Nicole Wore looks like behind the scenes so I’m starting a Friday Five series.  I’m hoping to bring one of these posts to the blog every other Friday.  Each post will include roundups in different categories that may change such as: reads, eats, buys, laughs, etc.  Hopefully this helps you to feel a little more connected to what I’m up to!

Kentucky blogger, What Nicole Wore, shares the highlight of her week including a stop to Louisville Cream.

Holiday Weekend | Five Random Favorites:

  • Super Sour Fruit Gushers.  Hello, my name is Nicole and I have an addiction to sour candy.  Seriously, I will eat sour candy until my tongue is raw; I love it that much.  If you’re anything like me, run to your nearest Sam’s Club because they have the jumbo box of SUPER Sour Fruit Gushers and they’re amazing.
  • Tif was in town yesterday so I picked her up for lunch at Troll Pub Under the Bridge and then “forced” her to go to Louisville Cream with me. {Highly suggest following them on the ‘Gram if you like food photos!}  She completely surprised me by letting me choose her ice cream for her because she’s a picky eater.  Speculoos Cookie Butter ice cream, for the win!
  • The S’well Bottle.  True life: I hate water.  I’m horrible about keeping up with my water intake and after a couple days of headaches, whipped out my S’well.  I don’t know why it makes staying on top of hydration so much easier for me, but it really does.  Plus how cool is it that you can leave the bottle in your car all day and the water’s still cold?! {Not sponsored, just seriously in lust with my S’well bottle & how cute is this palm print bottle?!}
  • Basketball twitter reacting to trades.  I use Twitter solely to keep up with pop culture and all of the basketball jokes.  While NBA twitter usually gets kind of slow after the Finals, it was on fire this week between the NBA Awards {Nicki Minaj’s performance was horrendous} and the Jimmy Butler and Chris Paul trades.  Favorite moment?  Jimmy Butler giving out his phone number so that his haters could call him because #same.
  • Miss Spa Face Masks.  I bought a variety of these during a sale at Target and am in LOVE.  I first tried the Oxygenating Bubble Mask and then used the Detox Mask this week.  The Bubble Mask gets super bubbly but had great results on my skin the follow morning; Detox helped calm down my hormonal skin #Blessed.  All the masks are under $5 and BONUS: on sale right now {Buy 3, Get 1 Free!}
