Friday Five

Another week has come and gone which means it is time for another Friday Five. Here is what I have been loving this past week.
1. Nutella Pizza from Patrizio's
Mmm, mmm good! Melissa and I tried the Patrizio's brunch for the first time on Saturday and loved it. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and the prices have to be the best in Dallas.
2. Monkey Pitcher
This whimsical pitcher was a birthday gift. I love monkeys as many of you know so this little mister is perfect for me.
3. Shelf Liner
I hit the shelf liner jackpot at TJ Maxx last weekend. I was thrilled to find a white and gold bamboo liner, but even more excited to find the above liner. It is from the MacBeth Collection and I think it is the perfect way to add some color inside my cabinets.
4. Sally Hansen Salon Effects
I was very hesitate to try the nail stickers as they looked impossible to put on (I am not the best at one handed tasks). Anyhow, some friends on Twitter changed my mind and I snatched up a package on sale at CVS last week. I put these on Wednesday evening and was thrilled with the result. It looks like I have a Shellac manicure! I am will be stocking up on a few more packages of these when they go on sale again as they are great for travel or in a nail emergency. I also think these are perfect for those that cannot paint their nails themselves (remember how horrible I am at one handed tasks?). I also like to give my nails a break between Shellac manicures so these fit the bill since your nail can apparently breath with these on (so I read at least) and they last for up to 14 days. Salon Effects are my current drug store obsession!
5. Lighter Hair
I got my hair highlighted on Sunday so I am ready for warmer weather!

I like highlights in your hair.
Try Nutella on toast - it's yummy!

Love those nails. I'm also a convert to the Sally Hansen stick ons; my fingers needed a Shellac break too, so I'm sporting these insane glitter stick ons at the moment :-).

Mr. Monkey is so cute! I also really love your hair. As a brunette, I have always wanted blond hair but alas, it was not to be...it turned orange!!!!

I love the SH nail stickers too! I was too nervous to try them for such a long time (I too am terrible at painting my own right hand!) but after seeing my 8 year old cousin apply them with ease, I figured I had to give them a whirl! I have not had any chips or peels and it has been 11 days now! I'm sold!
