Morning! Today I woke up early with a pep in my step because we have a friend coming into town and I am so ready to finally show her around our area, home arena and have a fun weekend!
Today I am continuing the Friday Favorites series I started ten weeks ago. Whew! Time sure flew. Let’s go ahead and get things started, shall we?
Friday Favorites #10: Week of 11/8
What I’m loving this week…
• pumpkin seeds
Clearly, the pumpkin obsession continues. We still have yet to carve a pumpkin here at the Hesington household. So no, these are not my own roasted seeds.
I do hope to still attempt a batch this season!
• winter boots
The only thing making it easier to transition into this winter weather we have been having is an excuse to break out the winter wardrobe. While in Florida, I just so happened to find this adorable pair of black boots from Charlotte Russe.
My favorite part was the option to turn the top down with the peek-a-boo flannel material.
They retail for $42, but I got them for a steal after buying a pair of maroon pumps. Buy one get one for $10 ya’ll!
• curling wand
I usually curl my hair for home games, but this week was the first time I ever tried a curling wand. Once I got a strategy down, it took half the time and produced a different type of “wavy” curl.
No need to get fancy, either. I picked this Conair wand up at our local grocery store (Meijer) for around $25!
• catching bad edits
Scott has always had a gift for catching bad edits. Whether it’s while watching a television show or movie, he will without fail pause the screen, say “bad edit”, rewind the scene, and see if I can see it too. Half of the time I can’t and tell him he’s just being annoying. 😉
When I saw this article pop up on my news feed last night it made me smile. Totally called #15. Bad edit overload, Mean Girls!
Then I saw this one and couldn’t help but laugh a little. (Mostly at Glen Coco!)
• “healthy” fruit loops
This one was bound to happen sooner or later…
Most of you know by now that I have a adoration for any kind of “healthier version” cereal by Cascadian Farms. Growing up a Fruit Loops lover, I had to give these Fruitful O’s a go. Total win!
• dusting off my old *NSYNC albums
Because, well, after last weekend I just had to… and I acquired even more love for the tracks as a result (if that’s even possible).
• strawberry protein powder
Speaking of fruit (or just transitioning into it from the picture above), I can’t get enough of this Luscious Strawberry Protein Powder this week from Designer Whey.
My latest smoothie concoction included 1 scoop of it (28g), frozen raspberries and blueberries, frozen mango cubes, spinach, fresh strawberries and water for dinner last night. So delicious!
• Yes To skin repair serum
I have been completely obsessed with this Yes To Blueberries skincare line ever since I reviewed it over the summer. I finally ran out of this skin repair serum (used after you wash your face and before you apply moisturizer) and noticed a total difference in how my skin feels without it for a few days.
I made sure to pick up a replacement on my last trip to the store.
• quotes like these
Because happiness is a choice and am finally starting to realize that!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Love the boots! I am still on a mission to find some good ones, but in the meantime I am just stealing my mom’s almost everyday 😉 It is great to have the same size as her in these situations!
I used to do that all the time! Unfortunately, now we are several states away now. But it was great while it lasted!
I have those boots too! Love it 🙂 I’m going to send you an email today about trying out for a dance team here in Orlando. I’ve read your posts about it and figure you’re the perfect person to ask! Happy Friday love.
Oh fun! I love them and have been wearing them every day since the purchase. Yes, email away, friend!
Same. They’re so easy and comfortable. Just did 🙂 Thanks love!
I WANT those boots!

I can’t stop wearing them! 😉
You can totally turn a regular curling iron into a wand. I found a pin from TheBeautyDepartment.com It has worked great for me! I loved your last post on happiness because it’s so true. I read this quote the other day and lol’d: “Sometimes you gotta burn a few bridges to keep the crazies from following.” 🙂
Hahaha, that’s great! Thanks for the laugh 🙂
I love my curling wand too! It gets extra hot and is the only curling iron that actually makes the curls stay in place!
LOVE those boots!! And…I remembered to link up this time all on my own!! 😉
Woo hoo!!! Thanks girl!
Love the fruitful oats! i found them at cotsco last week and they are delishhhh!! Those boots are gorgeous and love the quote! Oh and yesterday’s post was really great!! Happiness is a choice!! 😀 have a great day!
Oops fruitful O’s**
Thanks for reading! Yes, they really are delishhhh.
I love those Cascadian Farm cereals! Such a healthy alternative to the best cereals 😉
I’m pretty sure I will end up trying them all!
You need to try pumpkin seed butter if you love the pumpkin seeds! I’ve been making it for a while now and it’s so dang delicious.
I have that same curling iron as you…but I also have three other ones haha. I have a curling iron addiction. It’s a sad thing.
My Sister has those same boots as you! For some reason I can’t get into that style, I’m more of a boots with heels wearer. But, I totally need a flat pair for Winter I suppose.
Oh, yum! Well then that explains your perfectly curled and sculpted locks! Your hair always looks gorg!
I never liked this style of boot either, until I moved up to Michigan. Now I want more! 😉
Okay I -need- a curling wand in my life. I’ve been using either a straightener or regular curling iron to curl my hair, but everyone keeps saying that a wand is so much better. Definitely picking one up the next time I’m in the store.
Yessss. I’ve only used it twice but I’m in love!
I am on the lookout for strawberry protein powder now. Everytime I read your Friday posts my wants list gets longer and longer- pretty soon the husband may ban me from subscribing to you anymore!! 🙂 At least, my list gets longer with HEALTHY stuff- thank you!!
Ohh that skin serum! I won your giveaway way back when and have become OBSESSED with that line! It makes my skin so soft!! 🙂
Awesome! I’m so glad you are enjoying the products!
Oh this is fun- I had sooo much fun coming with my favorites and then writing it!!! I love the links you have set up on your site so I am getting to read some other blogs and even ended up subscribing to a few. (Like I need help reading even more blogs)- Thanks for this idea- already working on next week!!
That’s great Anna-Marie! Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for linking up!
