Friday Favorites!

Just to keep things interesting, I've decided to do something fun on Fridays! I always love reading about new ideas/products/places on other blogs, so I thought I would give it a whirl myself. Every Friday I am going to write about a few of my current favorite things, some photography related, some not. So, here goes!

1. Epson Stylus Photo R800 Printer I never have my personal photographs printed. Ever. How sad is that? My mom got me a really cool wall display for Christmas, and it just dawned on me last week that it is still sitting in a box because I have not printed a single photo for myself in over a year. So I decided that have a great photo printer at home would encourage me to print more. So after lots of research, I decided on this model and I have to say it has blown me away. Far exceeded my expectations! Digital technology is amazing, but I think we are all guilty of leaving our photos on the computer. So I really encourage you to kick it old school, and actually print your pictures! If you want something a little less pricey than this printer, this model is also great

2. Aveda Outer Peace Mask I found a random sample of this when I was doing some spring cleaning in my bathroom and decided to give it a try. It's super thick and green so it feel very spa-y and it made me skin look and feel great. I think it would be perfect to use to cool down your face after a little too much summer sun.

3. The Deadliest Catch Stick with me, I know this is random. I had never even heard of this show, but on Memorial Day there was a marathon on and my husband and I got totally sucked in! The premise of the show does not sound that interesting, but it so is! The even have a Deadliest Catch Xbox game!

4. Monogrammed Sippy Cups These are just so cute! I discovered them on one of my favorite sites for gifts. In fact one of my favorite Christmas presents came from this store (again, from my mom). I think the Monogrammed Sippy Cup will become my new signature gift for parties and showers!

5. LL Bean Boat and Tote Bag An oldie but a goodie! I have had so many of these over the years, its not even funny. But for some reason, I keep finding reasons to get more! I recently got the extra large bag (and it is gianormous) for toting my stuff to and from shoots. For the price, you absolutely cannot get a cuter or more longer lasting bag!

We LOVE LL Bean tote bags! My dad is from Maine, so LL Bean has been a favorite in or family since forever! I love to give their totes as gifts--I have their Visa, too, so I can get free monogramming and shipping. Those bags are the best!

Also ... Deadliest Catch! We were on a big DC kick last year. It can be so thrilling, funny ... and sad. :o( My BIL LOVES that show!
