Friday Favorites

God, this week. Anyone else excited for the weekend? I don’t have too much planned, but I do want to get some blogging stuff finished! I’m thinking a trip to Barnes & Noble might be in my future. Or maybe, I’ll clean up my office and work in there… in my pjs. Decisions, decisions. Anyway, let’s get into my Friday Favorites. 

1. American Idol Finale {Spoiler!}

I know that many of you prob stopped watching Idol years ago, but I’ve stayed with it. The finale was absolutely amazing. I was chatting with a friend {hey Rebecca!} on Facebook throughout the whole thing. We were dying of excitement. I literally was bouncing on my couch and cheering throughout the entire thing. SO happy that Trent won. He really deserved it. Someone please comment below and tell me you watched. {image via}

2. Spicy Mangos

I love finding unique stuff at Trader Joe’s. This week, I picked up these spicy mangos. But you would know that if you were following me on Snapchat {@nicoleraudonis}. OMG. I can only eat one piece in a sitting, but holy cow they are delicious. The mango is seasoned with sugar, paprika, salt and cayenne. If you like spicy shit, you need to Trader Joe’s and grab a bag. You can find other Trader Joe’s products that I love, here and here. 

3. Weekly E-Newsletter

Next week, I’ll be starting something new around here. Instead of receiving a boring email every time there’s a new Simply Nicole post, you’ll get a much more interesting weekly e-newsletter in your inbox. Think behind the scenes of SN, exclusive healthy tips & tricks, recipes, favorite finds, and much more. I’m so excited to add this feature for you all! I’m in the process of creating a landing page for newsletter sign ups, but for now either leave your email below or go to my homepage and register in the sidebar if you’re interested in receiving it. 

4.  Bonza

My mother-in-law introduced me to a new game app called Bonza. Now, I generally don’t download many games on my phone. They just aren’t my jam…but this game is the exception. It’s a crossword game where you arrange the pieces to form words that go with the round’s hint. It’s hard to explain, but check out their website to learn more. {not sponsored, just love the game and wanted to share!}
