Weekend Recap: 1/30-1/31

I feel like I haven't done a weekend recap in ages, probably because I haven't. I won't lie, I mostly stopped doing them because I was posting one 99% of the time to make myself and my life look like I wanted it to. But this weekend I went outside of my comfort zone and did something to make that life I always wanted the life I was living.

Last week my little from Zeta, and now one of my best friends, Molly asked me if I wanted to run a 5K with her on Saturday. It was a late start race, 10am, and downtown so we could grab brunch after. I won't lie, I had been slacking on my fitness the past few weeks. Mr. Jonas was a great excuse to stay inside and crank the heat [and Netflix.] And I might have cried previously while running 3 miles BUT this was my chance to get out there and do it so I signed up. 

Fast forward to Saturday at 11am.
We killed it. And didn't kill ourselves in the process. [win, win]
Finished with a 9:39 pace and a sub 30 min 5K.
AND we made the executive decision, before the soreness hit us, to try and run a 5K every month.

Next up, the Chocolate Lover's Valentine's Day 5K.
You get hot chocolate at the end.... I mean how could we not?



So here's to a new race bib on my wall and new adventures to come in 2016!

Red Carpet Round-Up: The SAG Awards

Another weekend, another red carpet to judge. Coming to you, once again, sweatpant/5K t-shirt from this morning/no make-up clad from bed [Netflix in the background.] First of all, the SAG awards are highly underrated. These red carpet arrivals were fire. For the first time in a while I was digging more of the suits on the guys than the gowns on the girls. AND for the first time, I think ever, Sarah Hyland is not my favorite look of the night.
So, here we go

The deep purple and grey-ish blue floral print are absolutely gorgeous together. 
The combination of the coloring of the dress and her features/coloring is perfection. 
#timesIwishIwasblonde

No words. 
This dress is a show stopper. 
It weirdly reminds me of a Kim Kardashian-West look but minus the excessive cleavage and back side. 
Love it.

Once, again..can I be blonde? 
The pale pink color paired with the print that is oddly subtle but bold is a winner.

Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing dresses. 
However, would have loved it better as floor length vs tea-length.

The neckline.
The color blocking.
The husband.
Simple for the win here.

The side slit paired with the classic sleeves and collar is gorgeous.
I'm also all for the keeping the shoes and bag simple so the dress can shine.

But hands down, absolute and utter perfection:
The Queen of Dragons herself. 
I bow down.

Five on [almost February] Friday

1.
This song is hot and the video is even hotter.
NSFW




2.
Grease LIVE! premieres Sunday on FOX. Set your DVR!

3.
I absolutely love Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. They are one of those celebrity couples you feel like you could double date and laugh your ass off with. Their vacation video from Africa is hilarious and precious all wrapped up in a five minute epic lip sync masterpiece.
#relationshipgoals



4.
My best friend/kick ass boss/mom extraordinaire Sara is back to blogging!!!
Check out The Heart of Life is Good!!

5.
I threw on New Music Friday this morning while getting ready and thank goodness I hadn't done mascara yet when this song came up. Charles Kelly of Lady A released his first solo single, Leaving Nashville and it is just so good. So good.

Friday 1/29


Thursday Trending

I am a lover of bright colors. Unfortunately neon is usually associated with summer, well, or temperatures above 12 degrees. While scrolling Tumblr last week I found the best of both worlds, neon work out attire. All the praise hands. And you'll never be hit by a car while running in a bright pink vest!
