Welcome to the Show and Glow by Britt Nicole. Dance and rock out to these! They make great running songs. (Side note, I've cut more than a minute off of my miles over the past couple weeks. After struggling with running for years, it's been so nice to actually do it.)
Eos. Never lost Chapstick in your bag again. Plus, it smells really good.
$5 Walmart athletic shorts. They fit great, are super comfortable and are perfect for volleyball practice. Although I've got my eye on these Nikes. Or these.
Ninja Chop Express. Oh my gosh. I am in love with this thing. It's better than my food processor because it is smaller and incredibly easy to clean. Also, it's a breeze to use. I've been using it for single serve smoothies, Larabars, guacamole, hummus - I love it. There are no fancy snaps and I can eat whatever I make out of the bowl. There are two blades and they blend up bananas like nobody's business but also chop hazelnuts like its easy. This was a birthday present from my mom and I cannot praise it enough. I've also had a terrible cold complete with a sore throat and this blends up the two things that taste good (salty hummus and cold creamy smoothies) at a snap of the finger.
JBL Flip. A birthday present from my dad. Okay, this is a Bluetooth speaker. Who knew all you have to do is turn on a button and your iPod connects to this speaker? It blew my mind the first time I used it. It also blew my mind the quality of sound. It made my iPod sound tinny and harsh. Whenever I'm not using earbuds, you can bet I'm using this.
Hummus and pita chips. I'm thinking about investing in Athenos. I would eat 'em at lunch, snack and dinner. Best. Stuff. Ever. (Next to smoothies in the Ninja;)
And finally, This Peekaboo Pound Cake is on my list of must try fall recipes. Isn't it the coolest?

DeleteThings I'm loving...YOU!!! I've recently become fascinated with your blog. Every night I read a post or two before bed! (and I will continue to do so until I'm done...) I have a few things to tell you. 1) I LOVE your outfit!! So so cute. You pull off leggings well. Where did your mom find the shirt!? 2) Eos. Oh what a wonderful thing. I'm glad you're enjoying it. :) 3) your choice in athletic shorts is fabulous. Get them both. :) and 4) I'm so excited to see you at practice tomorrow!! After seeing each other ever day for 5 days in a row... I'm going through a Mary Frances withdrawl. It's awful. I feel like we need time to chat! Which...brings me to 5) we get to go out for coffee soon!!! I can hardly wait for it. :) 6) You're such a blessing to me. Your friendship is an answered prayer.
ReplyDeleteOk so maybe this got a little long....(I probably should've just emailed you) but....yeah. :) the bread-cake thing!! Looks delicious. I sat there for a minute trying to figure out how the heck you got the pumpkin design in there! Great job. :) Love you girl!
You just made my day Abby. Seriously, this was the sweetest. I'm all about coffee on Thursday ... I miss talking to you, too. Oh, and the shirt is Old Navy:) Thank you SO MUCH Abby! You are an answered prayer as well!
DeleteI am a total leggings girl so I am anxiously awaiting the time when I can wear them without sweating! Goodness, that peekaboo cake is so cute!
ReplyDeleteMe too, although when I was trying them on, I was grateful for my athletic shorts to change back into (hence, both of them:)
DeleteLegging love 4-ev-a! Seriously. Also, those shoes you are wearing with them are mega adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! The shoes are America Eagle ... got them for $9:) They've lasted me fore years!
DeleteThe JBL flip is awesome!! Ok shameless promotion but I am seriously loving these...http://www.thehealthymaven.com/2013/09/gluten-free-pumpkin-donut-holes.html
ReplyDeleteyes I am another pumpkin obsessed blogger ;)
Oh no, thank you for leaving the link! Its a good reminder - those donut holes looks amazing. I personally am also pumpkin obsessed, so putting it in donut holes makes me happy! :)
DeleteThings I love- 1) Your shirt!! Wow, your Mom is a great shopper! 2) Volleyball! Um, I guess everyone does during volleyball season. 3) Spinach smoothies! I made one today that my siblings liked! (and that, is a very great accomplishment!) 4) Amy. Wow, that girl is a crack up! Right now she is doing a dramatic interpretation of a K-love song......
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Mary Frances, please make that pumpkin thing! It's so, so cool!
You need to make me a spinach smoothie ... or give me your recipe! It'd be a great volleyball treat (hint, hint:) Better yet, we should make that pumpkin loaf together (and reward ourselves with spinach smoothies afterwards!)
DeleteCute outfit and I love that cake! So neat. I am loving my pumpkin face mask and the apple cake I just baked.
ReplyDeleteThanks Reeni! Pumpkin face mask? I've never heard of that but I am really curious ... and an apple cake sounds just plain amazing right now. :)
DeleteLove that fall outfit!! And that pumpkin peekaboo cake is THEE CUTEST!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it!? I REALLY want to try it (you know, because it looks so cool:) Thank you!
