Happy Friday!
I’m pretty excited about the weekend because I have no plans except relaxin and eating.
Yes. I watched the new Honey Booboo episode. I like them. Part of it is that I have idealized small town living and I wish I could just pack it up and live somewhere like that (again, I know I’ve idealized it but still). And I feel like they’re self-accepting, which I appreciate. <- This is all super random, right?
Anyway… on to my
Friday Favorites!
Here are the things I’m loving this week…
1. Pistachios! I am obsessed.
2. Grape Tomatoes from my lil non-gmo organic glitter smug patio garden.
3. Drowning everything in Sriracha. This still hasn’t changed.
4. Carrot cake fro-yo. I heard a rumor that some Ylands offer carrot shreds as a topping. Um, I’ll probably pass on that.
5. Cherry Lime Nuun. I’m all out!!! This is a tragedy and must be fixed at once. (You can buy Nuun online or at your local running store. I don’t think I have time to order it so I’ll probably hit up Road Runner Sports, only problem is it’s hard to find the Cola flavor in stores.)
6. This watermelon eating puppy.
7. Subtle eye shadow over the whole lid. I’m normally a crease color girl, but I’m digging this summer look.
8. Luis from Million Dollar Listing. Yes. Please. I love how he claps his hands and gets so excited when he’s happy, I feel like I’m over animated in person so I can dig it. 
9. Reader Katie sent meCalming Manatee yesterday and I think it changed my life. <- Click that link if you need a manatee to calm ya down today.
Question: What are you favorites this week?
Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by the relaxin and eatin alliance. All opinions were forced upon me by cute puppies and manatees.
I literally LOLed in the Atlanta airport after reading your “sponsor” disclaimer!! I love that you can make light of the critical comments as of late 🙂
Love your sponsor and LOVE LOVE LOVE sriacha!
Monica!
Your 7 minute workout has made it into the Times newspaper in London. Also, hello from London, I love your blog!
Ahhhh! That is super cool! Do you have a picture of i?
A love Million Dollar Listing, it’s my guilty pleasure. I think the one guy looks like Josh Duhamel a little bit.
I’m loving that I am officially half way through my whole 30 without a cheat! 15 more days to go!
This morning’s climb of 272 steps at Batu Caves. 10 sets done!
Thank you for making the calming manatee a part of my life!
We eat pistachios all day long at work 😛 No telling how many servings that is but it keeps college students alive so it works 🙂
I liked the manatee who was going to put the kettle on best 🙂 That’s my frame of mind tonight.
My favorites from this week were finally finding not only a Yoga class in our little rural neck of the woods but a STUDIO! and a kickboxing class at another studio. My two older daughters are complete opposites on what they like to do…Now I can take a calming yoga class with my oldest and a no holds barred, kick ass, get out of my way class with my middle daughter!! 🙂
I just stocked up on shelled pistachios from the Whole Foods bulk bins and they’re almost gone. No shame.
I can’t stop watching the dog eating the watermelon. He’s so cute it almost hurts my eyes!
My favorites this week are sunshine and heat (make for some interesting rides and walks rather than runs) and pool time with my besties 🙂
Have you watched Duck Dynasty?? I was recently introduced to it and it is HILARIOUS!!! If you like Honey Boo Boo I believe you will enjoy the ducks! Trust me on this one 🙂
I live in Cincinnati and there is a froyo place here called Orange Leaf. They recently served the Carrot Cake flavor, which I topped with Oreos and devoured. This post now makes me want to immediately run out and re-create it 🙂
I have also idealized small town living and would love to live in a small town where things seem so much simpler.
Diggin’ all of those gourmet fruity freeze pops. That’s my after dinner snack attack!
which is better – watermelon or cherry limeade nuun? may be an unfair question…
Unfair question… but if I had to pick on I’d actually go with cherry limeade! Because I prefer ‘real’ watermelon everything.
haha I loveee your disclaimer!! do you girl 🙂
also, why are Manatees so calming!? It actually helps..
I love Momma June from Honey BooBoo. I always wish I had as much confidence as she does. I think she’s quite the lady.
OMG! Is that eyeshadow “Snow Blossom”???? I use it everyday! LOVE it!
No, it’s biscotti. But now I want to try snow blossom 🙂
Oh cool! Will have to try to find that one then! Very pretty!!!!
Oh man, I LOVE MLNY (and all Bravo shows…..) It is amazing. Things I am loving this week include (1) my Nalgene because it is 100 degrees and I cannot get enough water, (2) treat receipts at Starbucks because it fuels my caffeine addiction and (3) having a light work week after a hectic several months. Wish we had Yogurtland in the Midwest!
This week my favorites include my new-found love of bike riding, mini graham crackers, and the book I’m reading, Sweet Tooth, my Ian McEwan.
I love that carrot cake flavor! It’s way good.
Hmm… my favorites this week have been sweet potato wedges + kale salads at home; purple nails (Using My Maiden Name by Essie); grilled peaches for dessert, self-help in all forms (therapy + Abraham Hicks audios on YouTube + reading The Happiness Project); kohlrabi salads (a new discovery!) Gabby Bernstein on Instagram. Oh, and air conditioning. Yep, that has by far been my favorite.
Wait there is a Cola flavored Nuun? I’m picturing salty cola and it’s grossing me out. Is it good?
I like it because you know how Nuun is kinda carbonated? I dig it.
Hilarious disclaimer! I need to try different flavors of nuun.. I have only tried the lemon lime and the berry so far! I like to drink nuun out of a wine glass after my run because it makes me feel super classy haha
Discovered Neuro drinks today from a couple of freebies. They are awesome and have lots of vitamins and stuff. Pretty cool.
Ha ha loving the disclaimer 😀 A favourite this week food wise is eating my oats with almond milk. The slightest change and it tastes amazing again!
HAHAHA I love the disclaimer at the bottom. Why are you so hilarious??
I’ll be trail running this afternoon. Trail running is my summertime favorite 🙂
Okay if you’re going to get froyo, eat the dang froyo. You don’t need vegetables in there! I think that sounds grosssss. My favorite thing lately has to be iced coffee in this 95+ degree weather.
Cherry Lime Nuun never tried it but now a have a craving for Sonic but will wait till after 2pm.
Me too! See ya there 🙂
Suits is back on TV!! I fricken love that show. Every one is so suave. I quite lurve Million Dollar Listing but it makes me really angry that Bravo / Comcast / other not so legal ways to watch episodes are COMPLETELY MIA. I never remember to DVR.
I like Frederik on MDL-NYC for the same reason. He’s so animated and it’s hilarious! My husband thinks he’s an ass. He probably is. But he’s entertaining!

You’re welcome.
There goes my productivity for the rest of the day…
I know! I just need to find situations in which to use them all.
Calming manatee! Love it!!
My Friday favorites are: I’m rockin’ a new hairstyle for the first time in like forever today, I get out of work at 2pm (which is precisely 36 minutes from now… not that I’m counting), and I have a 13-mile run tomorrow at my favorite spot and then I’m running the Electric Run 5K with friends at night! Can’t wait!!
Thanks for being honest with us about this “sponsored” post. 😉
Of course 😉 I owe ya ‘full disclosure’ (that my jokes are lame)
My favourites lately…I made the Ghirardelli brownies from the mix. It’s from Costco, and it’s worth trying! I’m bringing them to a bbq tonight! Another new fave of mine is Summersbee’s Cider. Its refreshing!
Haha I love your sense of humor. Best “sponsored” post yet! 🙂
Every time I finish the last tab of Nuun, it’s like a little part of me dies. I just did that with Cherry Limeade, followed 2 weeks later with a tube of Cucumber Mint, and just started on a tube of Lemonade, so I’m dreading the day I hit that plastic bottom. *commence mini funeral*
Ok, I actually love the Honey Boo Boo family, too. I don’t even watch the show, but somehow I have great affection for them. They’re kind of like calming manatees?
I tried a small thing of Nuun today and loved it! It is light and really helps to keep my workouts going!
My favorites this week are definitely frozen yogurt and sports drinks. They have kept my runs going!
I love MDLNY!! my favorite is fredrick!!!!!! his facial expressions and the way he talks cracks me up! I also love Honey booboo and think Momma June is a really good mom and wants the best for her kids.
I love Fredrick too!
Today is a relaxing day for me, too. Got in a trail run with my daughter. Makes me so happy! Going out to lunch with a friend who lives out of state. So excited to see him! And probably swimming later this afternoon.
Totally loved my treadmill speed work. I hate treadmills, but I work early mornings and by the time I get off work it has been mid 90s and way too hot to run outside. The best part about the treadmill is that I can punch in the exact speed that I want. Loved it.
Get it!
Ha. Greatest sponsor ever. 🙂
Ha! I love Luis! I think he resembles a cartoon character. For the longest time I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I’m thinking Jimmy Neutron…? http://www.nick.com/shows/jimmy-neutron/
Ha! He does have big hair…
i have to agree with you on luis…..yes please. love his energy, but more importantly – holy YUM. he’s gorgeous!
So now I’m bookmarking that manatee thing because I love it and need it every day.
Yeah! Glad you liked it as much as I do 🙂
Just googled Sriracha…never heard of it! Not sure I’d be a fan…my face screws up when food gets hot!
Oh yeah, it’s probably not for you then – it’s spicy!
Snooty the oldest Manatee in captivity is having his 65th Birthday Party this weekend!

I love that little manatee from Manatee County 🙂
I love million dollar listing new York! My boyfriend and I saved two on DVR for this weekend. We are watching them and eating gelato tomorrow night! It’s been a crazy week!
Not just a rumor! Yland on Seal Beach Blvd. has the carrot shreds. I saw it with my own eyes!
Did you try it?!
Haha, nope – and it didn’t look like many other people tried it either…the bin was full 🙂
This is such a good post that I actually did laugh out loud!!!
