5 on Friday


Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
Cheers to the lovely linkup creators: Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!


HAPPY MAIL 
Getting this in the mail was a day-maker. I adore this cute Valentine-y invitation and cannot wait to celebrate my sissy up north next month!

 How adorable is this invitation?! Perfect for February!

COFFEE DATES
Weekly coffee dates with Heather and a fancy Starbucks make my heart smile. I adore that girl! And her blog!! Yay for bloggy friends turned real world friends. :)
Okay, this pic was technically from last week...they just didn't have the fire cranked up for this week's coffee date. ;)

OMBRE TO BLONDE
Y'all, I am still getting used to my brown/ombre hair. I am/was reeeallllyy trying to embrace my natural roots. Until yesterday. When the hubby really was missing the blonde hair too. I don't think going through pictures for my Before the Blog posts helped (here and here).
So yeah. I made an appointment last night. Getting my hair done this morning. 
Quick decisions are always my jam. Bring on the blonde!! I'll keep y'all updated on Insta.
(It's winter...so I'm not going to go thaaat platinum. But I'm still PUMPED.)

PANTHERS
So it was a disappointing loss last Sunday...no doubt. But you can't say that the Panthers didn't bring it this season! Proud fan. Already can't wait till next season!! 

Hubby's 1st Panthers tailgate...and chance to show off the Olsen jersey he got for Christmas. 

The beautiful QC. Oh, how I adore my hometown!

CANVAS GIVEAWAY
You still have a hot minute before the giveaway expires! I love my canvas print. So happy to share the goodness!! Enter the giveaway here!

 I believe you can't ever have enough pictures!! :) Good luck!


 HAPPY FRIDAY, Y'ALL!

Now go visit my lovely sponsor, Khala!

  2. I think you rock both colors, but I love the blonde!
    My hair is my natural color right now and I want to go lighter so badly... this may push me over the edge :)

  3. You do rock the ombre! I was trying to embrace the natural roots too...but I guess I'm in denial about not being a blonde--so I got my blonde back a couple weeks ago! It's the little things ya know? Have a fun weekend friend!!

  14. as if we couldn't be more alike already- I thought I was doing a good job at embracing my darker (natural) hair but I can't anymore- I'll never go as full blonde as I was because of the maintenance level but I just made an appointment for Feb for highlights!! haha Happy Weekend Elise!

  32. that's too funny. i am always trying to go back to my "natural blonde" which is actually an ash color that i hate. so i dye it brown and i hate that too. then my farmer will make a comment and the next chance i get i'm at a hair appointment leaving with blonde.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I've been thinking about going ombre because my roots are so hard to keep up with these days. Now you have me questioning if I should do it! I LOVE being blonde! AH! What to do!?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I went a little darker and I am getting depressed! The blonder the better I say! You're cute either way though!

    ReplyDelete
  35. firepit and coffee... heavenly! and I cannot wait to see your beautiful blonde face :)

  37. I miss my blonde a lot too, but I don't miss expensive trips to the salon ;) Happy weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  38. The only reason I'm not more blonde is just because the time and $$ it takes to go to the salon!!

    So I say GO FOR IT! I'm sure it looks awesome!!!

  48. Honestly, I read through a few of your posts and just decided to comment on this one. You rock both hair colors perfectly (makes me want to dye my hair…)! Your wedding was beautiful and your blog is so seamless and inspirational. I'll be following along with you from here on out! xo

  51. Yay! I've thought about going ombre but I would totally miss my blond too much! Are you loving having it back?!
    Your coffee dates sound amazing! Wish we could do that.... someday?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Your Starbucks has a firepit?! Say What! I m the same with my hair, I change it when the mood strikes. If I can't get an appointment right away I need to wait for the mood to strike again. I do love the blonde.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ummm I love your hair both ways! So pretty! I've always wanted to try ombre, but I'm too afraid it'll look like a bad dye job since I never actually *do anything* with my hair. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  54. That canvas is so neat! Gotta love good mail days and coffee dates!
