New Kicks

Loving my new summer kicks! Thanks brother!

Lovely Love Quote

I thought these words were beautifully written:

I have learned to listen to my heart.  I have learned that if you never make room for better things and better ways to be, if you never clear out the things in your life that stand in the way of your happiness, then you are not aligning your universe to allow for amazing things.   In this life, you don’t find yourself.  You create yourself.  And the same goes for love: you don’t find love, you create a road for love to travel and wait for it to come.

Friendlies Are Getting Married

My good friend, Lauran, is getting married soon! We showered her with gifts a couple weekends ago. I can't wait for May 20!

Birchbox: March

Loving Birchbox this month! I selected the Teen Vogue edition and I am so glad I did.

I received:

Silver Glitter Essie Nail Polish

a FULL chunky lip tint by Tarte

Crease-less hair tie (love these, I have tons!)

Peter Thomas Roth anti shine gel (can't wait to try this!)

Annick Goutal Petite Cherie perfume sample

Probably most excited about the essie nail polish and the lip tint. $10 for all of this?! Totally worth it this month!

Kale Smoothies + Wavy Hair

 

I made this kale smoothie this morning and it was so good.

I didn't measure anything out but here's what it included: vanilla soy milk, frozen strawberries, mango and blueberries, 1 banana, 1 handful of kale, baby carrots and agave nectar. Isn't it pretty?

 Here's another one of my faves: 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Got any delicious smoothie recipes?

Moving on to a random but very important topic: wavy hair

It can either be a curse or a blessing. The products you use will decide.

Driving for long periods of time means taking pictures of any and everything!

I have wavy hair but JUST figured out the perfect product combo for my hair type and I am loving it. I have real thick hair, so getting curl to stay can be a challenge. I discovered Kenra mousse combined with some Tigi Curls Rock (only used on bottom half of hair) produced the outcome above. After applying product, I diffuse my hair on the lowest setting on my hair dryer and voila!

Ps: I am on day 7 of NO soda whatsoever...GO ME! Day 3 and today are killing me, though. 

 Anyone else trying to rid themselves of a bad habit?

Puppies and Running Shoes

 

Happy Tuesday!

This pupper is growing like a weed...a little sad that his tiny puppy days are ending.

This is what our most recent outing looked like...

Attacking the leash...Excited to take him on a run when he gets a bit older (we need to work on the leash thing!)

Speaking of running...I have discovered the most comfortable running shoe...I am not one to pounce around town in running shoes...but I would in these babies.

I introduce you to the Nike LunarGlide...and it comes in PINK! What more could a girl want?
