Five on Friday

04/10/15 | assorted

 It is Friday and after this week, it could not have come sooner. Instead of a usual post about a fashion trend, something I cooked, or an item I have had my eye on I wanted to share with you five things that made me happy this week and none of which you saw on Instagram (shocker): 

Novex Haircare

On Wednesday night I attended a party for Novex, the number one hair care line in Brazil, and took home a few products from their keratin protein line, I am excited to try them out!

Spring Flowers

Flowers are blooming everywhere in NYC and even thought it was 43 degrees yesterday they are proof that Spring really is coming! True, I will have my umbrella with me everyday for the next three weeks – the April showers are no joke this season – but Spring really is here!

Dead Sea Exfoliating Shower Gel

My friend bought this scrub back from her trip to Israel and visit to the Dead Sea. It is such a treat, especially after a long workout.

Dee Daa Chicken Pad Thai

I am on a quest to try out all of the lunch places around my office in the Chelsea / Flatiron neighborhood, look for a blog post coming soon. While this chicken pad thai does not look like much it was quite delicious and had just the right amount of kick. Plus, it did not leave me feeling gross afterwards, as thai food sometimes does. 

Funfetti Cake Batter Popcorn Ingredients

I have having a cocktail party this weekend and am planning on making my funfetti cake batter popcorn again at the request of one of the guests. 

Happy Friday!
