Friday Favorites - November 2021

November 5, 2021

Hello blog friends.

I have my Friday Favorites - November Edition.

I posted last month four fall recipes on my blog. One of the recipes I posted was for Slow Cooker Lasagna. I'm so happy that Kitty from Kitty's Kozy Kitchen made the lasagna. Kitty sent me this photo and it looks amazing and so good. Thanks, Kitty for trying out the Slow Cooker Lasagna.

If you would like to try out the vegan version of this then try out Heather from our Life in a Click here.

I have a neighbor who loves to bake. I thought it was so thoughtful when she brought over these pumpkin bread loaves for us.

I love making soup in the slow cooker this time of year. I recently posted this soup I made for dinner on Instagram @brklynhousewife. You can find the recipe I made many years ago here. You can use any type of pasta and I used ditalini pasta for this soup.

My husband and I enjoyed an evening out last month at the South Street Seaport area at Pier 17 New York.

We had a business/pleasure dinner at the restaurant Carne Mare with another couple. The food at this restaurant was amazing. I didn't take any food photos since it was a sort of business dinner for my husband. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in this area of the city.

It was one of those warm evenings last month. We enjoyed walking around the area that was close to the restaurant.

I just had my hair styled at my hair salon recently. I love my hairstylist and she always does a great job with my hair.

My hairstylist added into my wet hair this Amika Plus Size Volume & Body Mousse. I've never used this product but I will be purchasing this at the Sephora store.

I recently did a blog post on Press on Nails that I saw on Kim's nails. I loved the way Kim's nails looked and she even did her daughter's nails that looked amazing.

I'm excited to try these Press on Nails for the holidays. I have a huge paint job that is scheduled in my house in a week and a half. So this at-home nail DIY will have to wait. What I like about these Press on Nails is that you don't have to use any glue. You just peel off the sticker on the nail and press them on. Thanks, Kim for the recommendation and I'm looking forward to trying these out.

Andrea from Living on Cloud Nine is selling Red Aspen Nail Dashes that are Press on Nails that you glue onto your nails. These look interesting if you like Press on Nails.

We needed to do a Costco run on Tuesday night and I found this package of Gel Couture by Essie. The package of three nail polishes was only $19.99. This would also make a great Christmas gift idea.

I did this manicure on Wednesday afternoon and it was so easy. There are only two steps. I will see how my nails hold up for a gel nail polish look.

Step One: Add nail polish

Step Two: Add on the clear topcoat

Chip and fade resistant
No base coat or UV lamp needed
Removes like regular polish
Vegan formula

I love sweaters and cardigans for the fall and winter months. I did clean out our closet with two bags of clothes that I donated to our church. I decided to treat myself to some new sweaters.

I bought these sweaters at Target and you can find this one here. I loved this sweater so much when I saw it on one of my daughter's roommates from college.

I've worn this cardigan at a function we had at our daughter's college. It's such a comfortable sweater that goes with dress pants, jeans, or even leggings.
