Welcome to the Friday Finds 05-23-2025

It’s Friday, and I’m feeling sassier than a lizard on a hot rock. This week’s Friday Finds is hotter than a steering wheel in August—featuring a crash course in Sonoran cuisine (brace yourself, the hot dog is wrapped in bacon), indie reads spicier than salsa at a roadside taqueria, a craft that won’t glue your fingers together (probably), and a Fun Time question that may or may not start a cactus vs. roadrunner debate in the comments.

So kick off your shoes (unless you’re outside—ouch), pour yourself a prickly pear margarita/lemonade, and let’s dig into the good stuff—Arizona style.

Fun Southwest Friday Finds | 05-16-2025 | 💙📚 #Books #Crafts #Recipes ..

Hey friends—happy Friday (or maybe Saturday by the time you're reading this)! ☀️ I’m running a bit behind this week, but it’s vacation-late—the kind where time slows down in the best way. We’ve been soaking up sunshine, exploring new places in the mornings, and relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. Evenings are all about snacks, laughs, and loosely planning the next day’s route.

We’re hoping to find a favorite spot to come back to this winter—if you’ve ever picked a home-away-from-home, I’d love to hear your tips or stories! What’s your idea of the perfect vacation day? Drop it in the comments—I just might try it tomorrow. 😊

Now, on to this week’s Friday Finds! From heartfelt reads and fantasy heists to frozen pie and creative stress relief, there’s a little something for everyone. Let’s dive in…

Happy Friday, friends! 🌵
This week’s Friday Finds comes to you from the dusty, sun-kissed roads of the Southwest! My original plan was to loop through Colorado before heading into New Mexico and Arizona, but snow had other ideas—so we followed the sunshine instead. After a few hotel switches and some scenic detours, I’m finally settling into a more permanent spot tomorrow. Hopefully that means more time for writing, reading, and (of course) sharing all the exciting finds with you. For now, grab your favorite warm beverage, sit back, and enjoy this week’s mix of reviews, giveaways, creative treasures, and a delicious recipe that’s quickly becoming a road trip favorite.

[Spotlight & Guest Post] Lesser Known Travel Tips Series by Yeats | #Humorous #Memoir #Travel @GoddessFish @authoryeats #BookX #Bookstagram #BookThreads #LaughOutLoudComedy

[Spotlight & Guest Post] Lesser Known Travel Tips Series by Yeats | #H..

The Lesser Known Travel Tips memoirs are a hilarious series of travel misadventures and dubious personal introspection by Australian author Simon Yeats, who from an early age learned that the best way to approach the misfortunes of this world is to laugh about them.

Simon shares his comedic insights into the unusual and uproarious elements of living life as an Aussie ex-pat and having a sense of Wanderlust as pervasive as the Spanish Flu in 1918 or hordes of Mongols in 12th Century.
