Five Things for Friday
1. We had a rare wedding free weekend! On Saturday, we went to Treasure Island outside San Francisco with Shawn’s brothers and their gals. It was so fun! Afterwards, everyone came over to our house for cornhole and BBQ burgers. Great way to end the summer.
2. We shared our newest wedding video this week! Shawn does such a great job editing them. If you watch carefully, you might catch glimpses of me filming in the background of a few of the shots, *wink*.
3. Someone needs to tell California that it is almost Fall! It has been in the high 90’s all week. I’m ready for cold weather! Our little house has no AC, so inside it feels like a sauna. Thank goodness Shawn’s brother and sister-in-law gave us their old portable AC unit, otherwise we may have gotten heat stroke. Thanks to this little baby, we were able to cool off our living room. It may be a bit big, but Shawn’s brother mentioned it looked like Eva from Wall-E, and now I love it even more. We’re filming a wedding in Sacramento tomorrow, and it’s supposed to be 101! Gah!
4. When it comes to toothpaste, Shawn and I are a Tom’s of Maine household. At the store this week I picked up a new tube. When I went to brush my teeth the next morning, I thought it smelled different as I was squeezing it out of the tube. After tasting it, I realized I accidentally bought fennel flavored toothpaste. Fennel! Who wants to brush their teeth with black licorice flavored toothpaste?! Ick! As you can see from the text, Shawn wasn’t too pleased either. That promptly went in the garbage. I’ll be reading the labels more closely next time.
5. My friend (and cousin!) Ashley has started the funnest YouTube beauty channel! She posts new videos every week where she reviews favorite makeup, beauty products, hair tutorials, everything. She is just so darn cute, and I’ve already found my new favorite mascara thanks to this mascara review video. You should definitely check her out!

Wow. Much different here in PA. I’m wearing a sweatshirt and on my second cup of coffee. Chilly weather is upon us. 60s and 70s this week. Here’s to hoping you have cooler weather soon.
Love the wedding video. You and Shawn do an awesome job!
So glad you had a happy weekend, Natalie. I really must seek out that fennel toothpaste, though :)
OMG Natalie, can’t be liebe it’s still so hot in California.
Could you send us overe some sunshine PLEASE. It”s been so chille and grey here, we are all looking forward for spring.
Eww fennel flavored toothpaste?! I had no idea there were flavored kinds besides mint! Sounds like you shot a beautiful wedding and had a great time!
Sounds like a great week-end! And…fennel toothpaste?! Who even comes up with these ideas? I’m pretty sure I saw some bacon-flavored toothpaste once, but it was in a gag gift shop.
Licorice toothpaste?!! What?!! That’s groddy! haha… I would throw it out as well! …but I guess some people have got to like it, right? I mean…why else would they make it?! To each his (or her) own!! hahah… congrats to your cousin Ashley! That’s so exciting! I want to start a youtube channel one day!!
Fennel toothpaste…I have no words. What a way to start the morning! :( Glad you’ve acquired a portable A/C unit, too! In some of my college living spaces we didn’t have A/C and I would have totally flipped with excitement if that baby was coming my way. As long as it does the job! Enjoy your weekend, girl!
Send that sunshine & hot, hot weather down my way girlfriend, the Berra hasn’t even caught on it’s springtime yet. #sooverwinter. Awesome video too
Ok, I have to admit, I love the fennel Tom’s of Maine toothpaste! My husband won’t use it, but it is my favorite! I guess I’m just weird, haha! I don’t see how you can live without AC! At least you have the little unit now! I think I would die of heatstroke! I hope you get some cool weather soon :)
I have seen that fennel toothpaste and wondered WHO USES THAT FLAVOR?!?! Yuck! Poor you, that was a bad surprise I bet! We use Tom’s, but the peppermint kind.
Oh my gosh, fennel flavored toothpaste?! What in the world? Totally sounds like something I would do too haha. Hope your wedding this weekend goes well and it cools off for you. Have a great weekend, Natalie!
yeah what the heck with the 90 degree weather. fall needs to get here.
Hehe, I had no idea they made fennel flavored toothpaste – you guys are too cute though – love your texting convo :) Good luck with the wedding tomorrow and hopefully it cools down for you soon :)
OMG…I may just have to buy this toothpaste … just to buy it and say that I bought it. Hahaha … Love this. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, darling!
Oh my gosh, FENNEL??? Who would buy that?? Maybe it’s for Finnish people. My brother and his wife went on vacation to Russia/Estonia/Finland and in Finland black licorice candy is crazy popular. Like, entire shelves at the store of different kinds. So they bought some, because my sis in law actually likes black licorice (weirdo). But then they tried it…imagine taking a huge bite of black licorice that is covered in SALT. They brought it home and I tried some. It’s not even sweet, at all. SO SALTY. I had to spit it out. Isn’t that the grossest thing you’ve ever heard of??
Sacramento has been crazy hot lately Natalie!! You should buy one of those handheld mini battery run fans. Because that’s totally professional. :) I’ll be praying for a cold front!
Fennel-flavored toothpaste is . . . wow. Eek! Definitely a good thing you just had the one!
Sounds like you had a lovely send-off for summer — so nice! We had a cook-out when we visited Spence’s family over Labor Day in New York, and I’m considering that our adieu to the warmth. It’s in the 70s today and supposed to be nice through the weekend, and I’m so happy!
I have never even heard of fennel flavored tooth paste!! Who would think of such a thing?!
I like fennel but I do not want to brush my teeth with it, gross! Cracking up over that texting convo. You guys do such an awesome job with wedding videos! When I finally find my dreamboat, I’m totally getting married in CA so you can do the wedding. That video was so good!
Hahaha! Girl, I would take your 101 degree weather in a HEARTBEAT! It is sooo cold here I can’t even stand it! We’re not even supposed to get above 45 today…whaaaa?!
And oh my gosh that video was awesome! It looked so so professional! And yes, I did catch sight of you a few times! lol!
FENNEL flavored toothpaste??? ISH!! :P That does not sound very pleasant. Isn’t it kinda funny how sometimes you grab something thinking it’s the right thing than realize that you grabbed the wrong thing. I’d toss it, and buy another one ;) Loved that video you posted Shawn is great at editing. YOu both make a great team! and…the music hooked me. I adore that song by Sara Bareilles ( I totally just had to google her name cause I didn’t know how to spell it!) 101 this weekend, wow! I had to throw on a jacket this morning for a chilly 45 degrees. Polar opposite to your weather! Have a great weekend my friend!!
