Happy Fri-Yay!! I say “yay” because I am officially done with my rotation, getting this emergency med test over with, seeing my classmates at school today, going to a PA party tonight, and packing up and heading to Charlotte tomorrow!! Phew. That was a lot. So here’s my Friday five… let’s get to it!
1 // BLOGGER MEET-UP
Tuesday night was a super fun girls night with some of my favorite bloggers! Joey, Meghan, Zelle, and I met up for a yummy dinner at Babylon in Raleigh. This place has one of the coolest outdoor areas that I’ve seen and the food… oh my gosh the food. I had the lamb risotto (and also for lunch the next day) and it was so so good, highly recommend. Anyways, it was so great to finally meet these ladies in person & can’t wait to do it again ASAP!
2 // CAMELS
In case you didn’t already know, Campbell’s mascot is Gaylord the Camel. I know… it’s quite the interesting choice but hey, it makes us unique. I’ve been eyeing this J.Crew sweater for a while and can’t handle all of it’s cuteness. A camel colored sweater with a camel on it- too perfect. It’s funny how you never think about a certain animal/color until it becomes your mascot but this camel stuff is pretty cute!
3 // NAILS OF THE WEEK
As if I didn’t have enough nail polish, I’m lucky enough to have an even bigger selection to choose from, thanks to Sarah (who actually has a lot more than I do). This week’s mani is Sally Hansen in Haute Chocolate. Obsessed with this color- it’s a brown/coppery shade with a little bit of shimmer that is probably one of my new favorites for fall.
4 // NURSERY TOUR
First things first, I can’t even comprehend having a child right now (or for very very many years) so this one’s not about me. However, I thought it was pretty cool that a Charlotte makeup artist, Lindsey Regan Thorne, was featured on The Glitter Guide for her son’s super swanky nursery. For all you future mammas out there, you have to check out this little guys pad if you’re needing ideas- straight out of a magazine (or Pinterest)- whichever you prefer.
5 // BLOG BATON
Last but not least, I’m taking over @theblogbaton Instagram today, which is thanks to Mason over at Mason Like the Jar! Stop by and see what I’m doing throughout the day (you can also find me on Instagram at @kristinahendley). If you’re interested in taking the baton for a day, check out the rules here. I hope y’all have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend- squeeze in those fall activities because there are only 1.5 weekends left in October… say it isn’t so!!

YAY for friday!! It was awesome to finally officially meet you on Tuesday! We'll definitely do it again over the holidays! Enjoy your evening and be safe traveling back to Charlotte!
Jodi says
I love blogger meet ups! So much fun to meet online friends in real life. I also love that nail polish color. So pretty! I've just started using jamberry nails and I like them a lot!
Meghan @ Southern Belle Secrets says
Yay Friday!! I'm so excited to see you have the blog baton! I want to do it so badly but I'm boring so I don't think that'll happen anytime soon. I'm in love with that nail polish color although I don't know if I could wear it. I'm weird about certain colors on my nails even if I love how it looks on other people.
xoxo,
Meghan
