Friday Fives… Belated

Hey friends! 
Okay, so I know it’s Saturday, not Friday… but I didn’t get around to writing this yesterday. Forgive me, and here are my Saturday Fives 🙂

1. I hope everyone had a fab Fourth of July!
My family had a pool day, then we hopped in the car to see the new Spiderman movie {Pssst, it was amazing!}. Afterwards, we had a cookout and homemade sweet potato fries. This year I also made my first attempt at an American flag pizza, and was extremely pleased with the result. 
Not only was it tasty {perfect for a sweltering southern evening}, but it was also extremely easy to make and healthier than your typical fruit pizza. See the white icing? Well, it’s not icing at all… it’s actually {Yoplait coconut Greek yogurt}. I swear, it tasted better than any sugary topping you could have put on it!
Find the recipe {here}.

I also painted my nails for the occasion and threw on a little glitter polish for the “fireworks” effect.
We finished the night by watching fireworks at a nearby country club. Perfect fourth!
2. Meet my new favorite tea


{Get gorgeous tea} is an herb tea specially formulated for clear skin. This tea is packed with antioxidants, herbs, and a secret ingredient: rooibos, known for its complexion-calming powers. On top of all the benefits, it tastes delicious! I love sipping on hot tea if I’m doing work or during the mid-morning lull. 
I found mine at World Market, but it’s also available on {amazon}.
3. I’ve become obsessed with chic headwraps.

They’re perfect for summer since they keep long hair out of your face and eyes.
I found my own version at CVS for a couple dollars.
The hair ties are from Target… they also make cute bracelets!
4. My new goodies arrived today from Apothica!!

I have been waiting patiently the past couple of days for this package to come in the mail. {Apothica} is my newest sponsor! I got to pick out some products off their website and can’t wait to test them out. Their site has easily become one of my favorites – they sell so many top beauty brands and constantly have sales. 
Stay tuned this week for a review post AND giveaway!
5. Guess what tomorrow is? 
My 22nd birthday!
I’m so thankful to have wonderful family and friends to celebrate with. I can’t wait! I’ll save the details for the recap post 🙂
Happy weekend to you all.
Love, Cait

  9. sounds like you had a really nice fourth, really relaxed…and that fruit pizza, …….looks divine. My Mother in Law makes a really tasty one, but it's complicated to make, so I might have to try this one.

    We are loving our Yonana!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for sharing about it, I never would have known–well maybe eventually :–) it's SO so good, crazy it's banana's, seems just like creamy ice-cream, nuts!

    I love 100% Pure, one of my favorite lines, …her mascara is THEE best!
