5 on Friday

Darlings! It's Fridaaaayyy!! :) I hope everyone had a great week! And if you didn't, well, at least the weekend is finally here! Today's post is something I've been looking forward to all week. I'll be sharing some awesome resources (and other things) that I've come across recently that are pretty awesome. (INSERT SIDE NOTE) That's one reason why I love blogging. You come across websites, quizzes, videos, etc. that are worth sharing,and you get to do just that! So, I hope you enjoy the one's that I've come across, and please let me know what some of your favorite things you've recently found are! I'd love to check them out...

ONE
On Tuesday, I was reading a blog post that Rachel from Just Peachy wrote titled 'HomeGoods Stylescope Quiz'. When I saw the words HomeGoods, style and quiz, I was immediately drawn in and wanted to know more. Being the curious girl that I am, I decide to venture on over to the quiz that Rachel raved about, and was surprised at how quick, surprisingly accurate and really fun it was to take! So here's the lowdown. If you click on the link above, it will take you to the quiz, in which you will see a whole bunch of photos. Once one the page, you are then asked to select 5 photos that really speak to you. Then all you have to do is click 'get results' and viola! You will not only be told your decor style, but they will also give you a list of tips and tricks on ways to shop for your style and so much more!  

My results told me that I was 'Farmhouse Glam' and I couldn't agree more. When it come's down to anything rustic and chic, I'm all in. One day, down the road when Will and I purchase our first home, I plan to get a large farmhouse dining room table for the kitchen. There's just something about them that I can't get enough of...

Have you ever heard of The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman? If not, your missing out. There really is too much goodness for me to share about this book, so if you are interested in learning more about it, click on this link and read the book description! BUT I would highly disregard that part in which is talks about "your marriage" and "your spouse" because I am not even married and read this book with my past Community Group and it was equally as helpful to those who were also single or dating.

But the book isn't what I really wanted to share with y'all this morning! It's the discover your love language quiz that can be found here. This quiz can be taken if your married or if your single and will give you a in-depth analysis of your emotional communication preference! Not only that, but it will single out your primary love language, explain what it means, and help you understand how you can use it to better connect with those closest to you. Give yourself about 10-15 minutes to take it, and I promise it won't be a waste of your time. After taking this test, and finding out my love language (which happens to be quality time and acts of service tied) I have been able to practice and work on the areas that I semi-lack in. It's been awhile since I took this quiz and will probably take it again sometime this year to see if my answers have changed. I'd be interested in knowing what your love language is if you happen to find it out :)

She Reads Truth has really been speaking strongly to my heart lately. The current plan they have going on has been touching home and has made me evaluate how I spend my quite time with the Lord, and has got me to thinking about how I can become a better friend and a Christian in 2014. It really is all about getting a "fresh start", and working towards a goal...mine being my relationship with God and practicing patience and understanding that nothing is ever going to be on Melissa's time...it's all on his timing and that's one of my biggest struggles so far this year. Instead of determining to get better, I vow to be determined to get closer to him through his word. Will you join me?

I don't even know how to explain this YouTube video that Carly who blogs over at College Prep posted, but it's likely the most mesmerizing performance that I have ever seen. Basically, these two Japanese dancers perform a dance number with some sort of light show and I am telling you...you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen! Go watch it and see what I mean!  

FIVE
Last but not least, don't forget to go and enter the Oakleigh Rose Giveaway that I posted earlier this week and be sure to go give some love to the mother and daughter duo behind this amazing new company :)
