Changes....

So I feel like this blog is going to be changing.  Firstly, I have done anything since December!!!  That is a really long time to have no new content at all.

Second, I don't know that I want to continue having the main content be fashion.  Although I love a good deal and find, it is not my true passion in life.  I'll still share what I find that is amazing but the focus is going to be shifting.

Third, I don't have all the time in the world to shop, take photos and then edit and post them.

So....  I'll be updating the blog soon with a new look.  The them will center more around running and fitness in general.

Running is my air.  It is what keeps me centered and focused and sane.  If I wasn't able to run I would be completely different person and one that I probably wouldn't like very much.

So since my last post, I've completed a half marathon in December 2017, a full marathon in January 2018 and I'm now looking at completing a 50k in December 2018 with my sister.

The half marathon that I completed was amazingly hard.  The weather was warm for Houston in December.  But it was amazing and it was a women's only half with amazing medals and mimosa at the finish line.

The full marathon that I completed was the Chevron Houston Marathon and was by far the most amazing race I've ever completed! It was also the hardest thing I've ever done.  The support pre-race was fantastic, as well as the expo the week/week-end before the race.

One race day, there was really only one section with no spectators and that made it very silent and hard to be along with your thoughts at the end.  The rest of the time, there were amazing posters, food, drinks, cheers and the best energy I've ever experienced.  I can't wait to do it again!  Here's to registration opening and that my calendar doesn't let me down :)


The 50k that I am aiming to do will take place in Houston and I'm hoping that my sister is fully on board and able to complete the entire thing with me.  She has issues with her hips so I don't know that a 50k is doable for her but I'm hoping that with training and a good run/walk interval set-up we can do it together.


So here's to good things happening on the horizon and new changes for this blog.

Popsicle Recipe

Happy Friday - the 13th - everyone!! Here's to a great Friday and a great weekend for all of us :) We have a low key weekend planned for ourselves - haircut, pool time and a run for this momma. I'm sure the hubby and I will get to the gym as well and get in at least one workout over the weekend.  Then we have our littlest ones birthday on Monday.  She'll be FIVE?!!!  How did that even happen? Anyway, one thing we are hoping to get planned this weekend is making our own popsicles because we all have a little sweet tooth.  If you want to make your own here's a quick little recipe below. If you need the Hydate - you can find it here .

Training....

Hey y'all!  Summer is officially over and all of the kids are in school!!!  Oh my gosh, no more daycare!!  It's a strange place to be since we've always had at least one or all 3 in daycare for the last (almost) 9 years.... Training..... We are training the kids and have been training the kids to only eat at the kitchen table.  And to leave all electronics somewhere else besides the kitchen table.  Training can be an odd word when used in relation to kids but it's so accurate.  Kids are trained in what to do and how to behave.  No they aren't animals, but they learn by being trained and watching the adults in their lives.  In the past, we've been a little lax and let the kids eat in the living room and occasionally have food in the playroom.  But we've had carpet installed upstairs and we've very recently purchased new living room furniture.  So what better time to train the kids and our selves to only eat at the new kitchen tabl...

Sweet Tooth Help!

Hey everyone!  How is your week so far? Mine is going well.  The husband and I have been making it to the gym on a more regular basis with routines in hand :)  And I've been getting up before everyone else to ensure that I get my run completed. This morning I got in a solid 3 miles and the sunrise was beautiful!! The picture didn't need any editing, cropping or a lot of statistics to go with it.  Once I made it back home the morning was really just getting started & it's been a great day. So, I have a major sweet tooth and love cakes, cookies, shakes, any ice cream really.  I always want/try to go for the healthy sweet option and not the sugar filled choice that is so easy and convenient. So what are some of your favorite shake recipes? I've got a couple for you to try out and if you are in need of a good shake that doesn't have a bad after taste or anything 'bad for you' in it - just shop here. Almond Joy - add below to blender and blen...
