Every week I say something about “this week has flown by” or “woah, this month is gone already”. However, I am not feeling that way right now. I won’t lie, this week seemed to take for-ev-ver (spoken Squints-style from The Sandlot). I felt like it should be Thursday or Friday and it was really only Tuesday. That was when I KNEW it was going to be a long week……

Regardless, I made it through the week (it wasn’t a bad week, just slow)! I am ready for a date night tonight for our anniversary and a hopefully (somewhat) relaxing weekend. First, let’s get to Anything & Everything Friday. A post where I share 5 thoughts, ideas, articles, etc with you from throughout the week. This week I’m talking about BarkBox, our anniversary and I have some ice cream recipes! Ayo! Let’s do this…. [Read more…]

Happy Friday! I missed an Anything & Everything Friday post last week. I had intended to get one put together and things just got TOO hectic with Bobstock. I thought about throwing one together really quick, but decided it wasn’t worth it if I half-assed it. You’re welcome! Today I have some news on Dougie Fresh, some awesome desk accessories and tips to stay confident on the weight room floor. [Read more…]

Happy Friday! Even better….a Friday before a 3-day weekend!!! Whoop whoop. Any fun plans for the 4th of July? 

We have some soft plans, if you will, this weekend. We have things to do and places to go, but exact schedule that we have to follow. Kind of nice!

Well today’s Anything & Everything Friday has two different BBQ/cookout articles. One is healthy related and the other splurge related. Check them both out plus an awesome core workout and I am talking about heart rate below. Let’s do this! [Read more…]

In my Anything & Everything Friday post last week I had a link with some better-for-you-summer-cocktails. It got me thinking about what I like to drink when I sit on the back porch to relax. Occasionally I’ll grab a beer and enjoy that, but some nights I want a cocktail! Like a Grapefruit Vodka Soda.

Is vodka clean eating? Is alcohol in general clean eating? Not so much. It is called balance, right?!? [Read more…]

Tee-hee-hee…. I love a good food-related joke! Happy Friday!!! Time for Anything & Everything Friday, where I share five random topics with you. I receive emails throughout the week about food, exercise, beauty, etc and most of them are health-related. I love learning more about health in general and enjoy reading about those topics. I pick some of my favorite articles and share them with you each week! They are typically related to health, but sometimes it is “health-related” by being hilarious. Laughing is healthy!!!

This week I have some recipes for some healthier summer cocktails, a list of the best protein sources, movies for a girls’ night in and some reasons to strength train! Let’s do this…. [Read more…]

Happy Friday! Similar to last week, this MIGHT be me tonight. Not sure. I love lounging on Friday nights rather than getting crazy. I also love wine. Works perfectly.

While I am feeling all lovey-dovey, I love short weeks…. four days are so much easier to get through than five, right?! Time for Anything & Everything Friday where I share with you five different topics of my choosing. Today I’m sharing with you the item I purchased shopping last weekend (hello summer shorts!), Top Golf, and the benefits of spicy foods!  Here we go…. [Read more…]

My husband loves to spoil me. He knows me quite well, so he knows HOW to spoil me.

Donny had to do a Cajun boil on Saturday so we needed to go pick up all the food Friday night. I suggested we go to Bones, a restaurant we’ve been wanting to go to in Denver for a while. Of course, I had to twist his arm but he humored me.

We got everything for the Cajun boil first, then had a few minutes before our reservations so we stopped by Vitamin Cottage (Natural Grocers). He needed to pick up some samples for work and I love grocery shopping. I do enjoy Vitamin Cottage and this one was huge! He found what he needed and I, of course, found goodies of my own!

Can you imagine finding this carrot in your garden? That’d be awesome.

Yay it is Friday! Even better, it is Friday before a 3-day weekend! Boomshakalaka is all I can say. Not a ton going on this weekend, which is nice. We have date night tonight (see below), we are doing a Cajun boil tomorrow night and then I’m planning to go with my sister up to Denver to do some mad shopping! I am in need of new sandals, shorts, and some tops for warmer weather. Donny will be gone Sunday & Monday so I’ll have lots of time to meal prep and create recipes. Ayo, sounds like a good weekend to me! What are your plans?

Time for Anything & Everything Friday. Today the topics include sunscreen, busy mornings, and our date night location tonight! [Read more…]
