It’s Friday night, and I just got home from a wild night at the gym, and now I’m blogging.
YOLO, y’all, YOLO.
Also, yuck. Please take me back to Puerto Rico.
Speaking of Puerto Rico, that’s a good place to kick off this things I’m lovin’ post.
Let me repeat, WINE SIPPY CUPS. When we all arrived in Puerto Rico, Lacey, also known as the best bride ever, had sweet little goodie bags waiting for us with these cups in them. They were perfect for when we were out on the boat and it started raining. We just hopped into the ocean, sippy cups in hand!
Lacey had also bought us some of these, and I couldn’t wait to try them. So normally not my style, so didn’t care in Puerto Rico. They stay on REALLY well — mine are still on from Sunday!
I just got a new laptop at work today (YAY! Time to work on my PhotoShop skillz on the weekend), and after this selfie a few months ago, my boss said “you really should get a sleeve…” That laptop was on its last legs, and I did not, but after getting my shiny new laptop this afternoon, I ran right on over to Tekserve.
On vacation, I read The Girl on the Train followed by The Fault In Our Stars. Both heavy books, but the latter was especially fun to read mid-panic attack on a somewhat bumpy flight home from Puerto Rico. I may or may not have been that girl in the very last row sobbing as we landed… Does anyone have a book rec for something LIGHT or funny?
Everything emoji, per usual.
1. THERE ARE NEW EMOJIS COMING
2. Taco emoji petition. Because, let’s be real, a world without a taco emoji is not one I want to live in.
3. You can submit EMOJI PROPOSALS.
Ali’s yoga challenge. I’ve been making a conscious effort lately to meditate more…and it helps.
Stitchfix! Honestly, they can be so hit or miss, but this month’s box was no miss!
And speaking of Box People (as my mom calls them), the lovely Helena from Uplift has launched her own fitness-wear subscription service, SweatStyle. Similarly to StitchFix, you get a box of clothes every month and choose what to keep and what to send back. Helena is this adorable little thing with great taste, and running a studio gives her an opportunity to see the whole gamut of fitnesswear, so I’m so so excited to see how this biznass works out for her. I’ll do a full review soon, but in my first box, there’s already three pieces I want to keep… (you know, because I definitely need more workout clothes.)
What are you loving lately?
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

Those sippy cups are amazing.
A fun book I just read recently was Jackaby by William Ritter.
@Catherine: also - you can find me on GoodReads, if you want! :)
Will look :)
I was given a wine sippy cup tonight. It made my week! Also my son told me it was so I could drink wine whilst I was running! I like his style.
Also I'm reviewing my parenting style.
Why? It sounds like you just have a smart son :)
I think I have to boycott your blog now for introducing me to sweatstyle! I just made a profile. I'm trying to save money for a trip to Thailand, dang you!
sweatstyle is a brilliant concept. i also love stitch fix. my husband, however, just rolls his eyes when a package arrives from one of the "box people" :)
ha, I bet :)
I have a random question but where did you get your brown bag in the picture above (the one above where you mention the books)? I'm looking for a bag big enough for my computer and that one looks super cute!
Thanks!
Sure! It's Madewell, and I am in love. http://bit.ly/1AgfaEp
The other emjoi I want is fingers crossed! I always find times when I need it. Haha.
Noticed you are wearing a pair of tieks. Are they as comfy as they look?
As for the sippy cup, I was at a performance art theatre & they now sell wine in sippy cups so you can bring them into the show. Genius! Also, love your blog.
They *are* as comfortable as they look; I don't know how durable they are for the cost, and I don't know if mine just showed the wear more because they were a light color. I just got a pair of red ones and will report back :)
I'm loving those flash tats too! I saw them on tv the other day, and they looked so cool! Not sure if I could pull them off though :)
Oh girl :) If I can rock 'em, you can too!
Oooooh thank you for the shout-out! You come to yoga with me now, yes?
Would love to! I've only been there once and had a meh experience. (Which I think was partially me being in a crap mood, not liking the instructor's music and a douchey guy near me.) Would love to try again.
