Good morning Friends!
I always look forward to sharing my favourite things with you on Fridays, and this is no different. I have, however, made some changes to what I’m sharing here. I was thinking about what I would like to read on a Friday. I’d want to read something that made me feel good, something that would made me laugh, or something interesting to read as I wait for the weekend to fully start – or to read when I finally have time during the weekend. That’s what I want to do with my Friday Favorites.
I also want encourage you to join in! Share a link to something you’ve been loving lately, a link to the best post you’ve written this week, or just a cute dog in the comments! (Did you know I love cute animals? There might be a few in today’s post…)
Here’s what I’ve been loving lately!

Cute animals make me really happy, and I hope they can bring a smile on your face too.

This just makes me happy. I’m happy for you Panda.
BIG PUPPY!
GAAAAH! LOOK AT THEM. SO MUCH FLUFF. I’M CRYING
Share what you’ve been loving lately in the comments. Happy Friday!

Since you made it all the way to the end, you may as well follow on Instagram as it’s the place to be!
But their algorithm is a mystery so maybe sign up for the newsletter to never miss a post! ✨
Aww, Anne, those animal videos are all soooo cute, I wanna cry *.* (I definitely need a puppy one day, when I have the time to properly take care of a dog!)
Also, a big thank you for promoting your guest post and my blog, that’s so lovely!! <333
I wish I could try the Kale pizza recipe, but I've never seen real kale in Switzerland. I tried to substitute it once with another kind of salad for some other recipe, but it was disgusting, so I don't think that's how it's meant to taste haha

I know they’re so fluffy I can’t control myself!! I’m dreaming of the day I can finally get a puppy, I’m probably going to cry from excitement and cuteness overload 😀
I was actually thinking of if it would be okay if I posted the picture of the workout to tumblr (the big one), because that type of post usually do well there, but I don’t know.
You better stay safe from the kale and just go with regular pizza 😉 x
Yeah, you totally should post it on tumblr. I bet some people would be very happy about a new workout idea 🙂 x
Good ideas on food and drink! Also, I too love the panda in the snow! Warm fuzzies lol!
Yes, it’s just one big and happy teddy bear 🙂
I loved the workout blog post you did as a guest <3 🙂
Thank you so much! I want to try to make some for my own blog too x
I really love this post! So much cuteness and amazing things. TED talks are the best things ever and I listened to few this week and they made me very motivated 🙂

Yes, they’re always so interesting. I often listen to them when I’m cooking or doing the dishes – great way to learn a lot (you didn’t even know you needed to know) 🙂
All of these animals are so cute, especially the bunnies! I got two bunnies myself and they are pretty old now but I often think of the day they were born, they were too adorable! That pizza is looking fantastic btw, I should try to make it myself. 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend! x

Aww, if they just half as adorable as these bunnies, they must be amazing! Hope you have a wonderful weekend too xx
Love this post! Cute animals make me so happy too, the videos you chose have definitely given me a Friday boost!

Happy to hear I’m not the only one who loves cute animals! X
I love this post – I think it IS what made me happy this Friday… or is that too meta?! Very excited to check out the healthy dessert links (and specifically the cocoa smoothie), I’ve been fairly good with my sugar-free new year’s resolution… but a little bit of dessert now and then wouldn’t go amiss!
I think that answer is about as acceptable as dividing by zero, so that’s not good 😉 But thank you! It’s always better to indulge in a healthy dessert with a bit of sugar and lots of other nutrients than fast food in my opinion xx
Agreed – and there are so many great alternatives around at the moment, there is *almost* no excuse for resorting to proper junk!
I’m still obsessed with this video of James Corden and Adele doing carpool karaoke! It just makes me happy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nck6BZga7TQ
Yes it’s amazing!! I love people’s reaction when they realize that James Corden can actually sing! 😀 Thank you for sharing, I hope you have a fab Friday x
