Beginning of August Favorites

It has just been a good week.
The Olympics have been on [and TeamUSA has been doing beautifully!], work has been quiet so I've been able to get a lot done, I got to hang out with a special someone and I had a fun girls' date with Miss Shannon... not to mention many other fun things liiiiike some new make-up purchases!

So, here I am to wrap-up the week with some of my favorites. Be sure to link up with Lindsey [she may or may not have talked me into posting some vintage Chelsea pictures back in my dance days...]


Favorite Song
JoJo - "Anything"


Guys, I'm not kidding when I say that I love JoJo. I'm sure you may only know a song or two of hers [ahem, "Leave (Get Out)"] but I can honestly say I love quite a few of her tracks.

I was driving along in my car one night when a song came on an XM station. The song had a familiar melody in the background that I later realized was from the Toto song, "Africa."
I am obsessed with this song. Too bad it came out in 2006...


Favorite Craft
Money Wall

[via]

Start counting your pennies [or nickels] because this little craft project would look amazing up on the wall. Take painted letters and attach the coins to it for some bling-bling cha-ching!

Favorite Place
California


I have been thinking about this state a little more than usual lately. I love it with all my heart and can't wait to be back there someday :)

P.S. The gorgeous photo is courtesy of my amazing wedding photographer, True Photography :)
Favorite Beauty Product
Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Foundation


This, too, shall be featured in my upcoming beauty review [I promise, I'll be posting it soon!] I always do research on products before purchasing so I spent a lot of time on sephora.com before using my gift card to purchase Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Foundation.

So far, I am in love! It is just what I needed! Review to follow soon.

Favorite Space
This lofty apartment

I have also been looking into a lot of apartment decor lately [moving may or may not be on the horizon] and came across this amazing little loft. The longboard is my favorite part. I think this will be a requirement for decor in my new place :)

Favorite Website
Thanks to Ashley, I am now in love with this daily deal website. Not only is it just a daily deal website but it is for boutiques and cute Etsy-esque shops which means, you guessed it, JEWELRY!!!! I ordered an amazing piece on Wednesday that I will be sure to share with you once I get it in the mail!

Favorite Olympic Moment
Team USA Women's Gymnastics

[via]

Taking the gold! As I mentioned in yesterday's post, these ladies are SO talented and deserving of those medals :) There have been so many emotional moments in the 2012 Olympics and this, to me, was the best :)

Have a beautiful weekend, friends! I know I sure plan to :)

You are too funny. I LOOOOOOOOOVE JoJo, had that album, and was OBSESSED with "Anything." I loved that it incorporated that song by ToTo. LOVE LOVE LOVE that album. Check out "This Time," "Comin' For You," and "Let It Rain." Her "new" song, "Disaster" is AWESOME AWESOME too.
