Friday Favorites May 23, 2025: Summer Blanket, New Song , The Last Thing He Told Me, DJ x Jack Rogers and Good Everyday WIne

 

Hey Besties, I am back. I am not going to lie to you, this has been a really weird month. This month was capped off last weekend by a 15 minute storm on Friday night that took out around 15 trees on our main road in our neighborhood where we lost power for over 24 hours. So many friends and neighbors were impact and the roads were closed all over the neighborhood until Wednesday. We were safe but it just continued the weird energy that May is giving. 

Today, I need to focus on some fun and share a few things that are bringing me Joy when things are going sideways. I am ready to be back and link-up with Erika and Andrea to share my Friday Favorites.

1. Better Homes & Gardens Luxury Gauze Reversible Blanket

The blanket we had on our bed was really more of a winter blanket and we have had it for more than 15 years. With summer coming I wanted something lighter but also wanted a really soft blanket. The Better Home & Gardens line at Walmart is really high quality at a Good price point.  You would never know this blanket was under $30. 

I chose the Blue Silver that reverses to Vanilla Dream. It's perfect for our room and I may even keep it on our bed into the fall. I am way more excited about this blanket than is probably normal, but it's been a long month. 

This would be a great blanket if you are looking to lighten up for summer. I can also see this in a vacation home or guest room. 

2. I Speak Jesus

This song is really speaking to me lately. I discovered it when I was going my ten minutes of Christian music every morning during Lent. When I need a lift and a way to connect this is the song I now play. 

Here is the video. Let me know what you think.

3. The Last Thing He Told Me

 

I know this show came out a couple of years ago but I just started watching it last weekend. I remember that I wanted to watch it when it came out but we didn't have Apple TV at the time. We do now and I was scrolling for something to watch and I am glad I did.

I know we all want to watch the next new thing, but sometimes it's fun to go back and watch something you may have missed the first time around. 

4. DJ x Jack Rogers Magnolia Sandal

I love Jack Rogers sandals. They are the most comfortable in my opinion and last forever. I needed a new neutral pair of Jacks and grabbed these DJ x Jack Rogers magnolia sandals which are super on sale this weekend.

5. Olema California Chardonnay

I was in Total Wine a few weeks ago looking at wine options. I often find places like Total Wine a little overwhelming because they have too many choices. This Chardonnay from Olema is a really nice balanced everyday wine. It's creamy but not overly buttery and aged in stainless steel.

At the $17 price point, I have purchased this wine several times. This is going to be one of my staples when I go to Total Wine.

That's what I have for you this week for Friday Favorites. Be sure to stop by on Monday, because even though it is a holiday, I will have the topics for May Monthly Musings. For May, Holly and I chose Kicking Off Summer for Monthly Musings. We can't wait.

Have a Good Weekend Besties!
