I feel like a “Friday Five” is a common blog post topic for a reason. Even though I haven’t been able to consistently put together the in-depth blog posts telling y’all about ALL THE THINGS, posts like this allow me to keep you in the loop. I’m on-the-go so much lately. I mean, I’m not going anywhere, but I’m always on to the next thing. I’ve been trying really hard to focus on completing tasks (so hard for me) because I feel really fulfilled after. As much as I’d love to put these details on instagram posts or stories, creating Liketoknow.it posts for instagram or just for the app does take some time, so putting down on the blog seems like a quick and easy way to LIST things I’m into!
Fall Drink
I FORGOT TO ADD THIS TO MY FALL FAVES! My brain is literally everywhere right now and the INSPIRATION for the “fall favorites” post was left off the list. What is life?! My sister is definitely the creative cocktail queen and on the first day of fall we celebrated by watching a football movie (I had never seen Gridiron Gang, y’all. LOVED it. It’s intense at first, but SOOOOO good! The recipe is so simple:
Apple Cider Mimosa:
For the rim: Mix sugar and cinnamon and coat the rim prior pouring any liquid. We also cut up some apple slices to add to the rim! The Drink: Add Apple Cider and the SPARKLING wine of your choice! We used Prosecco!
Hydrate
I’ve been really into drinking “enough water” lately and have noticed something very important- I drink more water when I drink it out of a straw. I will abandon a water bottle, a swell bottle, or glass with ease. For some reason drinking out of a straw is the most convenient for me. Here are my favorite cups with straws AND the link to my friend’s business (she made my purple mermaid cup #shoplocal)!
Watching Now
I feel like Netflix and Amazon and all the other streaming services are just catering to Alyssa Trejo right now. I’m loving TV and have actually been committing to watching shows with my husband. Except for breaking bad. I couldn’t sit down for that- way tooo stressful! Here are my summaries in 10 words or less (mostly!)!
The Umbrella Academy- Kids/Adults with powers traveling through time.
Cobra Kai- The Karate Kid in 2020. Intense & wholesome all at once.
The Boys- The world’s WORST super heroes.
Emily in Paris- Haven’t seen, but tuning in this weekend!
Hamilton- Watch the first 20 minutes twice. I can’t stop singing.
A Tease
I wasn’t expecting to get some packages in until next week, so that means I’m filming something SO FUN and so well-priced for y’all VERY SOON! You Tube is back, my friends.
The Dress You All Have Been Waiting for…
I did not anticipate our Target Dress selling out yesterday! I promise it was in stock when I linked it before we posted, which is really cool! Anyway, y’all asked and I’m delivering: Here are some similar plaid dresses for you to get your fall dress fix with! We dressed it up in so many different ways that I know y’all will find ways to be even more creative! Tag me when you put your look together!
I KNOW y’all are gonna ask about my cutie backdrop. It’s free (my favorite) and would be a great place to snap some fall pics with your family. Just head to downtown Pharr and it’s right next to City Hall! That whole sentence makes me feel like I live in a Hallmark Movie and I’m here for it! I’d recommend taking some disinfectant wipes if you want to touch the pumpkins and/or bench. Maybe, I’m just being extra precautious!
I hope y’all enjoyed this post and I would love some Friday Five Themes if you can think of any! Happy Fri-yay!
