We are fully recovered from vacation and back to our summer routine...which is glorious! A little bit of work, new projects, outside fun, family time, and rest. We {heart} summer.
I am linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my Friday Favorites.

ONE
One of my goals for this year was to focus on "less but better" in all areas of my life. One area in particular is my closet. For years, I wore a denim jacket from The Gap that did not fit me well but I had bought on sale. When I would see a picture of myself in said jacket I would think, "Ugh! I hate that way that looks!" Why do we continue to settle for what no longer serves us? Discussion for another time... :)
Anyway, I donated that jacket so someone who looked cute in it could find it at a good deal and researched new jackets for myself. After settling on what I was looking for and trying it on in a boutique during vacation, I ordered the wash I wanted (clean wash) online and used the code YOURIMPACT to get 20% off. This weekend, use code USA25 for 25% off! Is it expensive? Yes. Do I love the way it looks and feels? Yes. I plan to have it forever. This company also allows you to exchange sizes one time, anytime during your life if your body changes; as bodies do. Love that. Love this company's mission too!

Scamanda Podcast
It's been a minute since I've blogged about my favorite podcasts, but it continues to be one of my chosen forms of entertainment while working out and driving.
This one...
Intriguing, frightening, and a bit triggering if you have ever dealt with someone with a personality disorder in your own life. You will love this investigative style podcast into Amanda Riley, a blogger and young mom who faked cancer for financial gain and attention. And being someone who loves words and writing, I love the play on words for the title!
THREE
I made these again this week and cannot dream up enough ways to eat them! So yummy on sandwiches, eggs, pizza, salads...see what I mean? They last for up to two weeks in the refrigerator and take about 15 minutes to make. Easy!
FOUR
My yearly summer historical fiction choice is a great one! This book is incredibly intriguing and interesting. It will not be the last one I read by this author. Set between WW2 and present day, women war pilots, steamy romances, and a Dior fashion mystery...what's not to love?
With that said, if you do not have a library card, go get one! It's the best way to test out different authors/styles of writing without the financial commitment. I love our local librarians and often have 3-4 books on hold at any given time. They just pile them up for me and contact me when I need to stop by and check them out. I am also a big fan of the app, Hoopla for audiobooks and, Libby for Kindle books. Both apps sync with your Library card and checkouts are FREE!
FIVE
A little 4th of July fun to round out this week's post! I ordered this exact bunting and we have owned the food baskets for years!
Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th full of all your favorite things!
Xx,
Deanna

It sounds like you are having a great summer. That jacket sounds fab and those red onions look so good.
