Happy Friday!
I’m so happy to have this week done. Even though I really tried to get enough sleep each night, it didn’t end up happening a few days and I just felt like I was dragging all yesterday. I drank a lalalalot of iced coffee this week.
At one point I just laid right on the ground and took a nap with SR’s pup.
Vegas likes to cuddle up solo so I really had no choice.
Remember Cookie Friday? I think Tina started it and we would have a cookie every Friday.
Well, I tried to bring it back with a modified version of my Easy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies.
Someone left a comment asking if these could be made without the nut butter. Eh. I didn’t think so since they are already so low in sugar and junk. But, it’s my job to be the guinea pig for you so it tried it. I swapped the nut butter for equal parts greek yogurt.
Yep, I was right. Not great. If you do it this way to remove the fat you need to replace it with sugar to make it up to your tastebuds or it’s blah. (Read: Add chocolate chips.)
It feels so weird staying home this weekend. A week ago I was driving up to Las Vegas right around this time. Before that it had been a while since I did an epic road trip! I love them.
Recently Ford contacted me to share a post about their Fiesta Movement. I am all about fiestas so I jumped on board when I assumed there would be tequila. I was wrong about the shots, but it is still a fun concept.
The company gave Ford Fiestas to 100 fun people and asked them to capture their adventures. Some of the videos are super fun/random in the best way.
Like this guy getting his butt waxed. HA!
My second favorite is this Running of the Bulls they recreated in Venice.
This one is about fitness. This Timothy guy eats breakfast, hikes and then eats again. I get it. It’s a little long, but he’s likeable so I went with it.
And yoga on a car.
Told ya it was a random mix.
When I was doing personal training I had a client that used to shave her legs every Friday morning and call it Fresh Friday. I kinda love that.
Question: Waxing. Yes or No?
Yes. And sometimes threading.

Cassie says
I wax… I hate shaving and I’m Italian so it’s the easiest. LUCKILY no mustache… yet.
Losing Lindy says
I don’t wax, but probably should
Melissa- threredheadedrunner.blogspot.com says
I was curious about your eyebrows. They were looking fierce in a good way in Vegas. I get them threaded for special occasions I don’t know why but they look amazing. Otherwise I get them waxed because I want to scream during a threading session.
runeatrepeat says
I get them threaded, but totally agree that it hurts more than waxing. My skin gets burnt / scabs 8 times out of 10 with waxing so I just shouldn’t do it.

Noooo! Used to. It hurt a lot. Stopped. The end.
Razors rule!
MartinaNYC@runtomakeadifference says
Nope-razor. I know, bad. And Friday is my shaving day as well. Ok, TMI!
Ashley says
I am traumatized from threading. God awful. Terrible.
Livi says
waxing YES… kind of a must.
Kathy says
No waxing here….I can barely pull a band aid off myself let alone allow someone else to pull my hairs out. OUCH!
Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
I can’t do a wax. I just freak out if pain is involved with beauty lol!
Susan says
Wax the upper lip and eyebrows for sure; shave everything else.
quix says
Eyebrow plucking and shaving everywhere else. Waxing and salons scare me!
Ali says
Fresh Friday is hilarious! I’m a fan of waxing!
Ganeeban says
I will go into hiding if my wax appointment gets cancelled or she goes on vacation 😉
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
I saw this and thought of you right away.. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pollution-suit-puts-chill-on-popular-hot-sauce-sriracha-155011158.html
Sriracha shortage… I hope you are dealing with this okay.
And I don’t think I will ever do the waxing thing! haha except my eye brows and mustache… isn’t that every girl though? Secretly
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
I used to was my eyebrows now I just pluck. Have to cut where I can budget wise 🙂
Flower says
Definitely wax…and then wane….HaHa, nerd humor!
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
Never waxed anything before. It sounds painful! I stick with shaving
Jackie says
Thanks for the reminder to get my eyebrows done!
Nicole @ Pink Elephant on Parade says
My family is from southern Italy. I had a mustache before the boys in my class. So waxing is not something that was ever optional.
