Hello! I’m still in San Francisco. But it’s almost midnight and I’m exhausted from everything. Every.thing. Between getting here from FL and not being home for a week and all the events we had in SF – I need to sleep.
But, I also need to tell you about the 5 things that made my life awesome this week! It’s important!! I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I didn’t share these gems… (and/or I’m all hopped up on adrenaline and white wine, either way).
5 Things Making Life Awesome This Week:
1. Running while traveling. Travel through life on foot – It’s the best way to see a place.
I started my day with 7 miles for a good photo opp. Too bad I had to ruin it with my running pose…
2. Two words – Dry Bar.
I had my first Dry Bar experience today and it was eye opening. Have you done this yet? Someone washes, dries and styles your hair while you watch Mean Girls (at least that what was on when I was there). Yes.
Before.
The wind was trying to kill it here, but I managed to keep it together for an hour.
And because the movie is in my head…
3. Travel size hummus and watermelon Hint water. Yes and yes.
Actually, all the snacks at the StitchFix office made my day! Um, Sriracha.
4. Fitbit in a cute color! I am loving the heck out of my new red Fitbit. I’ve had more than one model in the past, but never a colored one!
5. Cupcakes with a runner or running shoes on them. Whoever made these knows their audience. Me.
Which would you pick? Runner or Running Shoe?
(Both is totally an option.)
Question: What is one of your favorite things this week?
Jessica @ Sweat Is My Sanity says
I’ve never gone to a dry bar before. Sounds awesome though, and addictive. I’ve also never seen Mean Girls…but cupcakes…love. 🙂 Those look good and same with your salad.

Divya @ Eat. Teach. Blog. says
Love dry bar. Basically because I hate doing my own hair and LOVE drinking mimosas
Kris @ kriswithbliss says
Those cupcakes are adorable! I love them both, but would probably pick the runner shoe 🙂
gracekelle at leangirlsclub says
Dry bar is amazing. I never got the hype about blow outs until I got one at Dry Bar.
I would totally go for the running shoe cupcake…cuz I love me a pair of shoes and I don’t look like a stick figure 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Good call on the cupcake.
Emily @ Fit as a Mother... says
I am loving iced coffee this week! Bad for my wallet though!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
Um, both cupcakes – naturally!
My favorite thing this week is that I get to start packing for LONDON this weekend! I leave after work on Wednesday! 🙂
Deborah Brooks @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Your hair looks awesome! I tried to get an appt there in NY and couldn’t. They are just starting to pop up around DC so there is hope.
runeatrepeat says
It is awesome! Hope you get one around you soon!
Melanie says
I actually just got a Fitbit! Its my first one! And it is my first piece like it. I am so excited about using. There is a dry bar in my town, but I had never heard of it before. I may have to try it out!
Chicago Jogger says
Those are the cutest cupcakes! I’d go with the shoe. Yum yum. Looks like you had a great trip!
Sam says
Are boys allowed at dry bar? I have super long and thick hair, and it is SUCH a pain to dry it. I wonder if they’d also wash and wax my mustache for me.
My favorite thing this week was a ridiculous blog post on scientific American interviewing a marine biologist who studies whale vaginas.
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2014/06/11/getting-to-know-whale-vaginas-in-seven-steps/
Not a single San Diego joke, disappointingly.
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I need to check out that link, never know when that will come up in trivia!
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
Growing naturals rice protein. Holly yum! Love the hair chica!
Etsuko says
That is a good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.

Polly @ Tasty Food Project says
I’m glad you had such an amazing time in San Francisco! The Stitchfix headquarters looks like a fun place to visit! I really like the cupcake with the runner!
Ganeeban says
The runner is cute, but that Tiffany blue gets me every time! I need a “Dry Bar” in my life ASAP, that sounds amazing!! Perfect for events and whatnot, if you are too lazy or uncoordinated (as I am) to do my own hair 🙂
Linda @ running4two says
LOVE your hair! Seeing your beautiful locks makes me miss the millions of inches I just cut off of mine!
Katie@RunningARagnar says
Your hair looked amazing! I so want to try a dry bar but the price is a little terrifying- WIll have to suck it up and try one sometime!
The Silent Assassin says
Favorite thing this week? Today, it’s rest day! Need it… safe travels!!!
Caitlin says
Gorgeous ‘do! I would love to visit San Francisco. Unfortunately, my only look into SF is watching copious amounts of “Full House” as a kid. Does everyone ride around in a red convertible?
My favorite thing this week would be my perfect pineapple I purchased on Sunday. I have one more slice left to polish it off, but I did a very good job of picking out my fruit this week. Win!
Ali says
I’ve always wanted to try the dry bar!!
Vanessa @ GlitterGirlRuns says
Your hair looks amazing <3!!! And I love your running pose!! I would totally eat the shoe cupcake!! have a wonderful weekend! Get some rest!
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
Your hair looks great. I would love to go to a dry bar…everyday!
And I would pick running shoe for sure.
Flower says
Favorite thing this week….all the new episodes of Orange is The New Black!
Jack Sh*t says
Watching the World Cup at a dry bar was one of my fav things – well, it wasn’t a dry bar until I got done. 😉
Kristin says
My favorite things this week (and last week) are the sun coming up at 5:45 a.m. and listening to Harry Potter audiobooks on my runs. Even though I’ve read each one at least three times already, they’re still my favorite 🙂
Greta @ fueledbyfresh says
Those cupcakes are so adorable! My favorite thing(s) this week is long walks and splash parks. Nothing better in this heat then going for a great 3 mile walk and then taking the kiddo to the splash park so he can play and I can cool down!!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
My favorite thing is our short but quick trip we are taking to the beach this weekend. So excited!
Michele says
Love your hair!!! What brand is the grayish open sweater you have on in the pic? Super cute! THX!
Losing Lindy says
those cupcakes are adorable, which fitbit do you have?
Natalie @ Twenty-Something Talk says
I’m obsessed with our local dry bar, it’s so fun!
God it’s been forever since I watched Mean Girls, that needs to change ASAP.
I’ve never seen a tiny travel size hummus! Where did you find that??
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
My friend worked at dry bar here in NYC. I figured with my kinky curls they would have a hard time and then I would walk outside in the humidity and that would be that so I haven’t gone.
Love the way your hair turned out. And those cupcakes!!! I would go with the runner stick figure.
My favorite thing this week is this fiber one cinnamon raisin bread I bought. I have it every morning with peanut butter. Delish.
Ash Bear says
I LOVE DryBar and DreamDry in NYC! I used to go anytime before big events and miss it here in Geneva where the concept definitely DOES NOT exist.
Glad you guys had fun!
Kaelene@Unlocking Kiki says
Your hair looks amazing!
