Hello! How’s it going?
It is going gorgeously over here!
Post-run fuel included this breakfast burrito. Eggs and carbs wrapped up and sprinkled with hot sauce is where it’s at.
Running Blog Favorites for the Week:
1. Apples. But I’m not sure if I bought enough…
2. Plus-size model Robyn Lawley, being named one of Sports Illustrated’s “2015 Rookies of the Year”!
Meet the first plus-sized Sports Illustrated Rookie of the year here.
3. Like a Girl commercial.
4. This Loreal Lipstick in Mauved. I wear way too much make-up but never put on lipstick. Isn’t that weird? I usually just use lip gloss or chapstick. (Which is probably for the best since a lot of eye makeup should be balanced with a subtle lip.) But it’s nice to have a little color and I’m digging this one.
5. Alien Jerky.
Okay, this is really random. When you drive out to Vegas there is a place where you can stop and buy ‘alien jerky’ which I’ve always dismissed as over-priced regular ol’ beef jerky. And I had never tried it. But, my fam stopped there last week on the way back from Vegas and I finally tried some. Stop. This is seriously good! I get it now.
Question: What is your favorite thing this week?
Tedi @ Running with Infertility says
I love the #likeagirl commercial. I have only seen part of it so it was good to see the whole thing! Thanks!
Sue says
Nope, you’re not weird! I don’t like or wear lipstick too coz I tend to lick my lips (can’t do that with eye shadow, mascara or blush! LOL!).
kristin | W [H] A T C H says
having the day off on friday!
Tricia @ A Couple Of Dashes says
I love that #LikeAGirl commercial! It’s so good!
I am the same exact way with makeup! I usually stick with lipgloss or chapstick also and rarely ever wear lipstick. I like your new color though!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
That “plus sized” model looks amazing! Really, she’s plus sized?
Jill @ Champagne for Everyday says
I love the “like a girl” commercial, it just makes me so happy that I live in today’s day and age, and not 50 years ago. Things are changing for the better! The SI model is so gorgeous, I still feel like she is hardly plus sized though! But whatever, at least they are diversifying =)
Happy Weekend!

Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
There is so much controversy about that SI model right now. She sure is purdy though 🙂
Two of my favorite things this week are rediscovering homemade cashew milk and my second post for Huff Post going live!
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles says
I buy all the lipsticks and glosses and rarely put them on too!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I am loving California winters right now. The weather has been great!
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
That girl’s body is the TRUTH. Go her!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I pretty much never wear makeup – occasionally some mascara, chap stick, always.
My favorite thing this week is chocolate! I can’t help it, the valentines/easter candy is out 🙂
Alisha @ Real Girl Running says
I’m the same – generally I wear makeup every day, but never lipstick.
One of my favourite things this week: lots of butter and vegemite on thick cut multigrain toast. I can’t get enough!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
Size 12 is not plus size [rolls eyes, reminds everyone in the world this is just a PR move, not some SI quest to better humanity and body perception (if they really cared they’d either not parade women around in bathing suits or feature legit body type diversity) and drop mic].
runeatrepeat says
I hear ya! I just appreciate any lil step in the direction of body acceptance. The PR move totally suckered me in tho.
Charline says
ok, since WHEN is size 12 PLUS SIZED????
lynn godfrey says
I never wear lipstick either! Just lip balm or clear chap stick even with a full makeup face ….. I have a question for you monica as i love reading your posts daily…i was told i eat too much peanut butter by a friend but i love it…is 3 tablespoons ( sometimes more or less) too much a day? Thanks Lynn
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I actually put on some red lipstick last night to make me feel a little better. I was having one of those I hate what I look like in all of my clothes moments and the lipstick kind of pulled me out from that slippery slope of self destruction 🙂
My favorite thing this week is tea. It’s so cold I can’t get enough hot tea
