Friday Random Ramblings

Hello friends!

I thought I’d keep it light on this lovely Friday and entertain you guys with some random thoughts… so here we go!

1.) Today I’m flying to the east coast to see my family and friends. My hubby’s cousin is getting married in a few weeks, so we were planning on heading out to attend that, and then I decided to go back earlier to stay at my parents’ for awhile and spend time with everyone. I’m pretty excited!

2.) Harley makes me laugh pretty much every day. The other night I was in the kitchen doing something, and I looked up to see her walking across the floor to get a drink of water with her blanket completely wrapped over her. Sometimes she rolls around and gets all snuggled in it, and it totally reminds me of a person with a Snuggie on or something. On her way back to go plop on my living room floor, I was trying to get her attention to snap a picture, and she looked at me like, “What’s so funny lady?” If she could talk, I’m pretty confident she’d be one sassy biatch.

3.) I’ve been a headband queen lately.  At Blogfest last summer, I received a ton of headbands. It’s fun, I get to match my outfits to all of these different headbands! There were a couple in our blogger gift bag, Lorna Jane offered their headbands at one of the events at the conference, and then I also met a woman who works for Bani Bands, and she gave me some of those to try out. If you’re looking for new headbands, you should check em out. They have some cute styles and the bands are adjustable, which I’m a fan of.

4.) Have you guys heard about Giselle Bündchen being a new Under Armour I WILL WHAT I WANT spokeswoman? At Blogfest, we had a session with Under Armour, where they hinted that there would soon be a new spokeswoman that represents the majority of women who buy athletic gear — people who are sporty but aren’t pro athletes or those on some sort of sports team. At the time it never even crossed my mind that this person would be a gorgeous supermodel and at first I thought hmmph, but now I’m convinced that it’s a genius move on Under Armour’s part. They’re trying to soften their image up, and Giselle is one of the most recognized models in the world. This commercial is pretty kick-ass if you ask me:

5.) Gettin’ my Fitness Glo on. I know that this post is annoyingly full of Blogfest references, but at the conference I received a yearlong membership at Fitness Glo, a website that offers all different types of workouts. I’ve been trying out some of their workouts when I’m working out at home, and I’ve been enjoying it! So far I’ve done HIIT workouts, kickboxing, Pilates and yoga videos. Check em out if you’re looking for some new at-home workout ideas!

6.) Confession: Yesterday I totally conked out on a workout I meant to do. First I took Harley for a walk and noticed that my ankle was tweaking. Ever since my hiking marathon last weekend, my left foot/ankle/calf/knee have taken turns being achy, so I’ve been taking it easy this week. Instead of doing something high impact, I decided to go for a swim in my pool. But then I got in the pool and just walked around the low-end while talking to my mom on the phone. A swim just wasn’t happening, so then I went into my living to do some ab work/pushups/stretching, but I found myself instead just laying on my floor throwing a tennis ball to Harley. Whomp, whomp. I took it as a sign that I needed the day off!  

Questions: What do you think of Giselle partnering with UA? Are you a frequent headband wearer?

Have a great weekend everyone!
