Happy Friday! Thank goodness this day is finally here! It's been a long week and I am looking forward to sleeping and relaxing this weekend! Here's my Fab Five Friday :)
1. One of my favorite snacks right now is turkey pepperoni and a piece of Baybel lite cheese. It's so good. Kinda addicting. Only 4 points and super tasty when you are craving salty meat and cheese lol.
2. A friend of mine started a Facebook page for people to encourage one another while working on their health and mental health. I made a post about wanting to encourage people on little accomplishments as well as their scale going down. I used the example of me being excited to clip my toe nails with out getting a workout while doing it and it got me thinking about the things I couldn't do pre surgery. I get a little bit of happy tears thinking about the things I can do now. No seat belt extender on the airplane, I can clip my own toe nails, I can sit in a booth comfortably, I can ride amusement park rides, When I look at the weigh limit on things I'm under it, and so many more! When I had my surgery I had a list of things like that I wanted to accomplish. Since I started in August I have something new on my list. I want to go to iFly and do indoor skydiving!! My sister in law said she'd do it with me. I'm still working on my husband.
3. I am so ready for baseball season to start. I love going to Rockhouds games and just being outside enjoying the great weather and watching some baseball. I always liked baseball but really started to love it when Travis and I started dating and he started teaching me more about it. Don't get me wrong...I'd much rather be at a Texas Rangers game but I'll take what I can get...
4. I'll give you a hint to what kind of recipe I'm posting on Sunday.....Are you ready? Ok, here it is. Its a really good recipe :) There you go! lol Just Kidding! It's a breakfast recipe that we have loved since we started this journey. It's a good southern type breakfast. Trust me when I say you're going to love it too.
5. I am getting to go to the Beach Boys concert tonight! I am sooooo excited! A friend I knew through American Business Womens Association gave me her tickets because she and her husband can't make it. She didn't tell me they were 3rd row!! How awesome is that! PLUS! John Stamos is playing with them tonight! I can't wait to show pictures of it!
1. Trader Joes's....We love Trader Joe's. I know there are people who think it's over rated but honestly its not. I can find so many good things at TJ's that are great quality and delicious within the right point range for me. There are things in the regular grocery stores that are similar to the items I purchase there but they are twice the points. And honestly....it's either the same price or cheaper.
When we go we have to stock up. We aren't sure the next time we will be around a TJ's so we make sure that we are good for a bit. We love the turkey corn dogs (I take them out of the package and use the Food Saver because they come in cardboard boxes). State Fair use to make a turkey corn dog that was really good but I haven't seen them in the grocery stores in years. These are especially good in the air fryer. Travis loves their bagels (I haven't tried them because I haven't wanted to spend the points on them). Their Lite Mexican blend cheese is so good and it's a point less than the reduced fat or "lite" cheeses I have found at the store. So I definitely stock up on those. Travis loves the frozen enchilada's because they fall into his calorie intake for lunch and they are delicious!
2. I can not wait for ya'll to see the recipe I have for From My Table To Yours Sunday!! It was delicious and so easy to make. We had some left over for our lunches the rest of the week and it's just as good warmed up. It definitely will be in rotation at the Eckert's household.
3. I'm still in shock about the college scam that Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are involved in. I mean....Felicity Huffman's bail was more that what she bribed...
4. I wish I were still at Disneyland....
5 I really wish I had more to say but it's been a really long week at work. One of my favorite people gave her notice and I've been doing interviews today. They are a beating sometimes. This time it's going to be hard because I have like 3 of them so far. I'm making my decision Monday so at least I don't have to decide today.
Happy Friday ya'll! Don't forget! If you want to join my Dietbet click HERE . We start Monday :)
This Fab Five Friday is all about the face!
1.
I had terrible skin when I was younger. It wasn’t from lack of washing my face (although I’m sure sweating playing tennis then reapplying my makeup to go play more tennis because I had a crush on one of the juniors that would be there didn’t make things any better), I was just dealt some bad skin. I have tried everything. All the popular name brand items to the grocery store brands. I had been to the dermatologist. I had done the medicine’s and creams. When Rodan + Fields came out I’ll be honest. I thought it was an over priced fad. One day I started getting this weird dry patch on my face and couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to pay for RF and try it. I mean I had tried everything else, whats one more thing. I am so glad I did. My skin has never looked so good. The soothe line is perfect for my sensitive skin. I also use the roller and the serum that goes with it and an eye cream that’s amazing too. My friend that is my rep gave me some of the lip serum for Christmas and it complete took my dry lips to normal with in two uses.

I absolutely love this foundation! It is full coverage and trust me...it does last all day. At the end of the day when I wash my face I want to see makeup on the washcloth so I know it’s still there. I get that result with this foundation. It’s not heavy and doesn’t make my face feel icky. It goes on so smooth. I use a beauty blender type sponge to apply it. And I just have to dab it on and boom...I am covered!
I {LOVE} this mascara! It’s amazing! Like my skin, my eyes are sensitive as to what I put on them. I had my fair share of eye infections also when I was younger. I am very conscious as to what I put on them now. This mascara gives a full look to your lashes.

This highliter is from Drew Berrymore’s makeup line Flower. I’ve tried this and two different lipsticks from her line and I have liked them all. At first I thought it was exclusively at Walmart but Ulta carries it also.
5. About a year ago I started watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. It started because I am not good at eye shadow at all. I have only improved a very small bit but I have picked up so many tips in other areas. I had no idea that concealer went on the OUTSIDE of your foundation. I always thought it went underneath. That changed my world lol. Now, there are some makeup tutorials that are a bit shall we say...young....for me. I’m not about to do some of the crazy colors or techniques they do. I have found two that I really love to watch and have gotten some really good tips from. Laura Lee and Tati are the two that I am subscribed to and will go to check and see what they have posted when I get a notification.
Do you watch makeup tutorials? If so who are you watching and what tips have you learned?
