Hey guys and happy Friday! What a week. Monday started off with a BANG, and not like a confetti bang, but more like a car backfire. HA! Anyway, thankfully we’re moving on. So what brought happiness at Coast to Coast this week? Let’s find out.
I feel like I start a lot of sentences with, “if you watch my Instagram stories…” I try to get on, most days and say hey, share what I’m doing, etc… I also share things I’m liking, etc…I’m trying all kinds of protein bars here of late. I like to eat one in the afternoon with my coffee to hold me until dinner. Andrea told me about these Quest bars, and they’re pretty good. She also told me to put it the microwave for 10 seconds, and it really does make a difference. I love when y’all recommend things and we share with each other.
These Pure Protein bars are still my favorite. These are almost like having a candy bar, and I can definitely get behind that. I was eating the Kirkland brand protein bars for quite a while, but I got tired of them. They are a much better price in the warehouse than online, but if you don’t have access to a store, you can buy them here.
Another thing I shared on Insta-stories this week was about Katie having a hard week and so we sent her a treat. Tiff’s Treats is absolutely the best. They are only in a few states, but if you want to send someone a little pick me up, check them out. I sent her a dozen warm chocolate chip cookies and a pint of ice cream. That’s right. They schedule the time of delivery so they can take the cookies warm. #nextbestthingtomom Wouldn’t that cheer anyone up?
Are you ready? LOL! I also shared on stories this week how I curl my hair. (see, y’all gotta’ follow along on IG for all the behind the scenes things) I’ve had quite a few people ask for a “tutorial”, so I finally did it. I saved it along with one I did a few months ago on how I dry my hair in my Highlights. These are all of the products I currently use, or rotate in and out of my “arsenal”.
The Revlon Volumizer is on sale on Amazon right now for $36.
I ordered this Buxom Eye Shadow Palette from TJMaxx. It is a KILLER deal. Let me repeat that, a KILLER deal! The colors are gorgeous and soft, even the darker purple. I figured I’d never wear that, and I’m wearing it on the outer corner of my eye daily. This is a refillable palette (which I didn’t even realize when I purchased it). Here’s why I say it’s such a “killer” deal. If you buy just the empty palette at Ulta, it’s $13, and the individual colors are $12 or 6/$40. I paid $14.99 for this whole thing. I should probably just go ahead and order a couple more while they are so cheap. #getyaone
How cute are these darling little scripture cards? Shelly sent them to me, and I promptly found a home for them in the kitchen. That way I can see them daily, and be reminded of her, along with some sweet scriptures. #thankssweetfriend

So there ya’ go. That’s what went on at Coast to Coast this week. Are you going to be watching the Super Bowl, Sunday? We will be. I’m going to make chili. #surpriseKent And we will have a party for two. Have a great weekend!!!
Living on Cloud Nine says
Party for two here too. I’ll just be there to see J-Lo, lol. I love football but we are not Pro fans. You are the BEST mama, warm? I didn’t know they come warm. Bless you. So, I have been on a bar “Quest” myself and I found the Quest Hero Carmel Chocolate pecan…even better, more candy bar like. Looking good this week girlfriend…let’s get February rollin’!! Love you!
Lisa Richardson says
Add to list!!! Which is growing. Now two people have recommended Built bars. Starting to think this might make for a good post. Gotta’ go…time to run to Safeway and buy all the bars. LOL Happy weekend!!! XOXO
Holly Breton says
The Quest bars look great- I just started trying Built bars and love them! Love your outfits this week- have a great weekend Lisa!
Lisa Richardson says
OK, you’re now the 2nd person to mention those.? I’m going to check them out. I think our Safeway (grocery) has a pretty good selection of individual bars. I need to go get a bunch and try them. After I saw your month in 1 minute thing, I of course had to do it too. So cute!!! Happy weekend!!! XOXO
Mother of 3 says
Who wouldn’t love warm cookies with ice cream?! What a fabulous pick me up.
Lisa Richardson says
I know, right? I wouldn’t mind if someone sent me some. LOL
Happy weekend! XO
Jill says
The warm cookie + ice cream delivery is such a great gift idea! I’ll have to check their locations! I also need to check out those Quest bars. Have a wonderful weekend!

Lisa Richardson says
YES! Check them out. Perfect for our college girls!❤️ XOXO
Kim Malkiewicz says
What a wonderful gift for your daughter. I didn’t know they had delivery services like that, but I guess I’m not surprised. That eyeshadow palette is amazing! ?
Lisa Richardson says
YEP, and boy am I grateful for that. Next best thing when mom can’t do it herself. LOL Happy weekend! XOXO
Gina Daily says
Looking beautiful as ever this week! And Tiff’s Treats sounds like a GREAT idea!! I am going to have the check them out to see where they ship. Hope you have a great weekend!
Lisa Richardson says
You’re too kind, Gina! It’s the perfect service when you can’t do it yourself. They actually deliver in person. They send an email notifying you that you’ve “rec’d a treat” and then schedule delivery, since they arrive warm. Happy weekend!!! XOXO
Kathrine Eldridge says
I adore those scripture cards and loving that white sweater! All of your looks are so chic.

Lisa Richardson says
Aren’t they the sweetest?! My friends know how to give great gifts. Happy weekend! XO
Laura says
I got my scripture cards in the mail today so now I think we’re all TWINNING!! Love all your outfits of the week, friend. I’m also loving that welcome sign! We had a chili cookoff at work today and HR’s White Chicken Chili won. It was delicious!
Lisa Richardson says
I’d been looking for a long sign like that and finally found it at HL. It’s REVERSIBLE and the other side says HARVEST. Double bang for my buck. XOXO
Jodie's Touch of Style says
We are all about bars as our snack when we are out and about. Lately we’ve been loving the Built Bars…talk about a treat yet good for you.
OXOX

Lisa Richardson says
I’ll have to add those to my list to try! I need to get to Safeway and see what individuals they sell. Happy weekend! XO
Jodie's Touch of Style says
I’m not sure they are at grocery stores yet. But I know they tout them at WW. I have a link in my IG bio however maybe wait until next quarter because they usually have a promotion that makes it even better!!
Xoxo
Tanya @Other Side of the Road says
I love Tiff’s Treats. I had never heard of it until a friend sent us some after Michael’s knee surgery. Delicious and such a fun way to brighten someone’s day. I know Katie must have been so happy to get that treat. Have a good weekend!
Lisa Richardson says
What a great idea to send to someone after surgery. I know, it’s such an awesome service. Happy Saturday! XO
Kellyann says
I think I’d like to send myself some warm cookies and a pint of ice cream! Yum-o! That eyeshadow palette is so pretty and such a great deal! I may need to snag that myself. I think my favorite cardigan outfit on you is that plaid shirt and colorblock cardigan – those colors are so perfect on you! Love ya!
xo,
Kellyann
Lisa Richardson says
Wouldn’t you though?! Yes, snag one. The colors are perfect. Happy Saturday!!! XOXO
NancysFashionStyle says
That is a gorgeous palette! And I love that striped cardigan, perfect on the plaid blouse! Happy weekend!
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Nancy! Have a great weekend! XO
Cheryl Tucker says
I love your striped cardi look! And you know I have been wanting a leopard sweatshirt but haven’t pulled the trigger. It looks cute with leggings. I think I will pop over and take a look.
Peace!
Cheryl
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Cheryl! I love that sweatshirt. Have a great weekend! XO
Laura says
Warm chocolate chip cookies delivered AND ice cream? Pure brilliance! That palette is an amazing deal too!
Shelbee on the Edge says
I love your oversized white turtleneck sweater, Lisa! It looks so comfy and cozy. Isn’t it funny how we can eat the same thing every day for a really long time and then all of a sudden, we just can’t anymore?! I am on a Cliff Bar kick of late. That is my go-to mid afternoon pick me up. Thanks for linking up.

Kim Taylor says
>We are having my sister (life long 49er fan) and Taylor over. Rib eye steak sandwiches, potato salad, veggie tray, artichoke dip, crackers cheese etc and Tay made the cutest brownies in the shape of footballs. Tony is a die hard niner fan so he and my sister will be cheering hard! I’m here for the food. A beer or two. And the pools we are in! #hopeiwinbig have a good weekend!!
Lisa Richardson says
Sorry for Tony about the 49ers. That was tough! XO
Kim Taylor says
Thanks! He was sad but winning $700 made him a whole lot happier! I won $200 in our pools!
Laura says
Warm chocolate chip cookies delivered AND ice cream? Pure brilliance! That palette is an amazing deal too!
Lisa Richardson says
For real. What a great service…especially when mama can’t be there. XO
Jess says
What a sweet gift for Katie! That would cheer anyone up, for sure! If you wanna send some my way… 😉 Hope you guys are having a great weekend!
Lisa Richardson says
Thank you. Yes, she definitely deserved them. I’d happily send you some cheer up cookies when you’re sad! XO

Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom says
WARM cookies via mail? Umm. YES, please. Can I send myself an order? Ha!!!! Last week was NOT my week either and I seriously got in a terrible funk by the end of it. I was glad to hit the reset button today and put that week behind me!! Those cards Shelly sent you are so perfect! I love the length of that leopard sweatshirt.
