Hey, hey ! Happy Friday! I’m poppin in with some January favorites! And some ICYMI Posts that you might find helpful!
Lemme know if you end up trying any of them. Today’s Friday favorites are a blend of things.
1. Do you wear the Lululemon workout clothing? If you love it but don’t buy it often because of the price tag, I got you.
I LOVE the clothes, but the price tag is steep for some of their items. I mostly shop at the outlet and their “Made Too Much” items. This past Black Friday, they had an amazing sale, so I hit them up for some pieces.
So all that to say, I’ve found some dupes - a similar legging to their Align Leggings. There knock-offs, if you will, and FRACTION of the price.
Lululemons Aligns will hit you for $98, and Amazon’s Hawthorn Athletic will hit you for 23.99, 27.99, or 28.99, depending on the length that you like. They come in the cropped length, ⅞ length, and full length.
STRONG friend, they are amazing. So amazing that I’ve got 3 pairs after trying and wearing them for some workouts and everyday wear. You will not be disappointed.

2. Trader Joes Everything but the Elote Seasoning Blend:
Yum, yum! I thought I could only love the Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, but this one is yummy too. Not as yummy, but good! It’s really good on eggs, and I like it on chicken also!

3. Frontera Taco Bowl - Chicken & Chorizo.
So, I’ve had my eyes on these bowls for awhile. I heard they were pretty decent for quick convenience options. I tend to give the side-eye to frozen meal options for a couple of reasons…
- They’re not filling whatsoever - well, at least for me. I don’t tend to feel satisfied physically and mentally. The serving size is usually small and packs a hefty caloric punch, and then some don’t have enough calories. They’re usually not too balanced.
- They usually don’t have a good amount of protein - which is one of the reasons why they aren’t all that filling.
On a scale of 1-5, I give it a 3.5-4. I’ve only tried this one flavor. The flavor was pretty good, but not enough food.
I definitely could eat 2, which would be more along the line, calorically, with my typical non-frozen meal, if that makes sense. In the future, I would add some more protein to it and/or have a side of additional veggies with it.
The protein is decent - 19 grams. It could be around 25-30 grams to pack that filling punch. The fiber is pretty decent - 7g. Carbs are solid - 35g and fat at 8 calories.
Would I eat it again? Yes, lol, but two! And I want to try some of the other bowls that they have. They have a pretty decent selection.

4. Lucini Rustic Tomato Basil Spaghetti Sauce: 5/5 STRONG friend.
I was a lil skeptical when I bought it because of the No Sugar Added.
I was like… this might not taste too tasty. It does taste delicious. I like to use it on my Potato Gnocchi and our homemade pizza. It’s so good!
Give it a try! Check it out here!
5. Duo Glue Brush-On Adhesive Eyelash glue: I LOVE wearing eyelashes! I did get into the magnetic ones, which I love too, but I wanted to master the old school way of wearing eyelashes with good old fashion glue.
I’ve been determined to learn how to do them. If you are a lash wearer, you know that the glue can be pain in the you know what.
So, the glue that I found works really well. I’ve practiced putting on my lashes a few times this week.
STRONG friend, the trick is waiting for the glue to get tacky. So, be patient, set a timer for 60-90 sec and then apply to the lid. With this particular glue, I was able to reposition it too.
This glue will not disappoint you. I also brushed some on my lid for extra staying power.
Lemme know if you try it! Make sure you get the one with the green writing. You should be able to find it at Sally's, Ulta, Sephora, or even Walmart.

Well, well that's it for now. Enjoy. Lemme know if you give any of these things a try and your review!
