Five Things

January 25th, 2013

mantle candle and tulips

{Pink tulips + a Valentine’s Day Rose/Baies candle}

On Monday I came down with the flu. The last time I had a fever I was in second grade, so I forgot just how miserable it is to be this sick. Most of the time I was either napping or staring at the ceiling – not even episodes of my favorite shows sounded appealing. But it seems I’m over the worst of it and am hopeful that I can start incorporating foods besides Popsicles and soup back into my diet. Here’s to a weekend filled with little luxuries and most importantly, your health.

black dominos

{Only Alexander Wang could make dominoes look so sleek}

Lukshon soup

{Cantonese Chicken Soup from Lukshon - essential flu fighting food}

python x bench

{The best splurge ever – traditional x-benches in an unexpected material from Jayson Home}

gold teeth with toothpaste

 {Luxurious toothpaste c/o of Theodent that’s pretty enough to leave out}

    Hi Emily!

    I’m so happy to hear your over the worst of the flu… myself, husband and little baby boy actually just got over the flu as well last week. It’s the worst thing ever!
    The chicken soup looks delish… I ate tomato soup the entire time :/

    So sorry to hear you’ve been so sick! But I am also glad to hear it sounds like you’re on the upswing. Hopefully a weekend of rest and relaxation will do the trick. Gorgeous benches!

    I’m right there with you, except I’ve got bronchitis instead of the flu. STILL, being sick sucks….I’m so bored in bed.

    Regardless, that chicken soup looks AMAZING! I hope it helped you out. <3

  • Amanda

    That is pretty fancy toothpaste. I don’t know if I could shell out $100 for a tube though. Pretty tube, though.

  • Leanne

    Popsicles are essential!

  • Kristen

    That chicken soups looks so yummy!
    But damn girl, $100 toothpaste? I suppose I would use it if I got c/o’d though.

  • Jessica

    Are you kidding with that $100 toothpaste? That’s seriously insane. If I were a billionaire I wouldn’t waste $100 on something as stupid as toothpaste. Wow.

    Hope you kick that flu quick, though. No fun.

  • http://adailydoseoflou.blogspot.com Lindsay

    I’ll take tulips over roses any day! They are my fave. And that toothpaste! It’s so pretty and kinda ridiculous, but would make me smile everyday to see it sitting in my bathroom! :) Hope you’re feeling better soon!

    I love these five things and the benches are definitely my favorite!

    Oh no, I have heard that the flu is especially bad this year. Feel better soon! I just posted about some healthy tonics to drink at breakfast instead of coffee if you feel like checking them out: Ellies Wonder . I drink one on a daily basis and I feel both more energetic and healthy…no flu here yet. Knock on wood. Anyway, happy weekend!

    Glad to hear you in recovery from the flu. That soup looks like it helped though. I love those benches! They are phenomenal!

    When I dont live in a tiny apartment, I would love to put those in my house.

    That toothpaste is ridiculously pretty. My boring prescription-strength tube from the dentist pales in comparison!

    Feel better! Those benches are really to die for- totally unexpected but they are VERY sleek. Haha I love how you can even make being sick look so glamorous!

    omg, you haven’t been sick since the second grade? That is CRAZY! I think you should seriously do a post and share your secret. You are obviously eating or doing something that the rest of the world is not. :-)

    It seems like everyone is sick at this time of the year. Luckily I am not (knocks on wood), but I still think it’s important to take some time and relax this weekend – I’ll be eating lot’s of soup! Don’t forget to take a warm and relaxing bath :) and that way you have the perfect occasion to light your new candle, too!
