Move, Nourish, Believe Challenge: Week 3 Recap

Hi Lovelies!

Well, the end of the Move, nourish, believe challenge has come. It makes me sad not only because it was fun, but because that also means February is almost over and I feel like it just began! Ahhh, time goes by WAY too quickly! Well, here is my recap of the challenges for this week!

Monday: Spoil Yourself

I used my fun new clay mask that I got in my Influenster voxbox last week to pamper myself a little bit. It was really nice. Tingled a little bit, but I’m pretty sure it’s meant to do that:) I put it on, turned on some relaxing music, and pretended I was at a spa for about 10 minutes….how relaxing!

Tuesday: Meditation

Today was a day to meditate. Sometimes I feel like I have no time to do anything, so it was really nice to just shut everything out for a few minutes today and focus on me.

Wednesday: Show Us Your Happy Place!

This is my favorite place in the whole world. I grew up coming to this lake every summer and even got engaged here. This always has been and always will be my happy place:)

Thursday: Thankful Thursday

The thing I am most thankful for is my family. I didn’t have a picture of all of them that would fit on Intsagram, so I just used this one of the littlest members of my family! Aren’t they the cutest?

Friday: Share The Love

My #1 supporter and motivator has ALWAYS been Wes. My husband is always supportive of me no matter what new adventure I choose to go on.

Well, that was my week! Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. Don’t forget to stop by Fit Approach and Lorna Jane and thank them for this awesome challenge!

Friday Dealz Accessories You Will Love

Hi Lovelies!

Happy Friday! Another weekend another set of amazing deals from Groopdealz! Today I picked out three really fun accessories for you to take a look at!

Aztec Band Watches– $7.99
I love that each of the watches has different colors so you could wear each with a plethora of different outfits. And, let’s be realistic, you can never have too many watches.

Dainty Tube Necklace– $6.99
I love really simple necklaces that would go with literally everything, and this one is just so cute!

Monogram Sunglasses– $11.99
Can I say it outloud? I’m not really a HUGE fan of monograms. Don’t hate me! I like the occasional monogram necklace, but having everything monogrammed is just not my cup of tea. I think these are cute though. It’s subtle and doesn’t overpower the sunglasses. Well done, Groopdealz:)

Nautical Stripes: Two Ways

Hi Lovelies!

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be hanging out here in Austin with my spring dresses and 85 degree weather!:) I’ll try not to rub it in too much…….I’ll try. This nautical-esque dress has been one of my favorites ever since I bought it at Charming Charlie last year. Well, dresses in general are my favorite, and now that it isn’t freezing here, you can expect to see a LOT more of them:)

I get asked all the time why I’m so “dressed up” when I wear a dress, and that’s one thing I’ll never understand. Putting on a dress is so much easier than picking out an entire outfit and they’re so much more comfortable than pants! I hate pants and I don’t hate many things…but pants are one of those things. They’re restrictive and you just can’t move in them. The moment I come home, pants are gone. I just don’t understand why people don’t wear dresses ALL the time….pretty sure I was born in the wrong era. <sigh> What I wouldn’t give to have a world where dresses were the every day norm again.

Get The Look:

Dress: Charming Charlie, Clutch: Charming Charlie, Infintity Bracelet: Aldo, Other bracelets: Charming Charlie, Necklace: Sam Moon, Sunglasses: Aldo

This dress was in one of my first outfit posts way back last April. I paired it with some cowboy boots, a brown bow handbag and some turquoise beads. That’s one of the great things about it, there are so many ways to style it to make it a completely new outfit!

Bow Shoes: Splurge Vs. Steal!

Hi Lovelies!

You all know me and my bows. Obsessed doesn’t begin to cover it. I have been looking around online for some cute bow shoes and found some really cute ones that look just like their expensive counterparts at a fraction of the price! Take a look!

I just can’t believe that you could buy 2 or more for the price of one if you went for the version on the right! Have you found any great look-a-likes lately?

Linking up with: Random Wednesday

Just Keep Running….

Hi Lovelies!

Well, I have been running a few times a week since November and am on week 7 of my official training. Oh my goodness how much has changed! It’s so hard to believe that a few months ago I had to stop multiple times per mile and walk. I ran 6 miles yesterday. Ran. Yes, that’s right, I ran 6 miles straight. For all you regular runners that may not seem like much, but for a girl who hated running and could literally not run a full mile without walking 4 months ago….that is awesome! I stood in the garage after my run and marveled at the fact that my legs had just carried me 6 miles. I really think I could have run 4 more miles after just resting for a few minutes…this half marathon is in the bag!

Now, in terms of healthy eating….that is a whole different story. I have been doing well on my breakfasts and lunches having Fruit or oatmeal for breakfast and a sandwich or salad for lunch. It’s the dinners that kill me…I feel as though it’s an every other day kind of thing. One day I eat salmon and veggies, and the next I’m eating pizza or tacos. I really need to work on the consistency in my healthy eating, but at the same time I need to acknowledge that I am doing so much better than I used to! We only bought one box of Girl Scout cookies this year and they are long gone…I refuse to buy any more!

What is your biggest weakness in healthy living?
