Friday Fab Five 12 – Stuff

DISCLAIMER!  I thought I had posted this yesterday…but alas, I did not–so here it is on Saturday.  Enjoy!

Allo All!

I’m keeping my Friday Fab Five post very simple for the week.  Simply put, I’m just talking about stuff–namely five things that I am really loving right now.

1. No. More. Winter. Gear.  Or so I hope….I really do hope that this is the end of all the crappy and cold weather for Winnipeg.  With warm temperatures finally hitting today (high is in the double digits–which is like, high 50s-low 60s in Fahrenheit), I broke out bare legs and cute, summer only pumps!

2. A band called First Aid Kit, recommended by the lovely Mrs. H at The Hemborg Wife.  So loving this band right now!  Thanks Mrs. H!

3. Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer is probably my new favourite skin product out there.  It is a slightly tinted primer that makes your skin look so nice, you don’t even need any other foundation or powder.  When I pop this stuff on, I add a smidge of concealer to any unsightly spots and I am on my way.  Plus it makes your skin feel so smooth and not gross like most foundations.  The only negative of this product–the hefty price tag.  *sigh*

4. RunDisney is doing their best to steal my money.  In the last 6-8 weeks, they have announced a bunch of new races and challenges…and it breaks my heart and my bank.  So want to run them all!  Especially the new Glass Slipper Challenge.

Pretty nails

5.  Mint Candy Apple nail polish by Essie.  Sadly I don’t have a picture of this perfect mint colour to share, but it is amazing.  I highly recommend snagging a bottle if you can because it is gorgeous!

What have you found this week that is super fabulous?  Let me know in the comments!

Much luv,

Gratitude Challenge 2013: Week 17

Hooray!  Week 17 didn’t start with a hangover!   Though, that also means I didn’t start off my week with a round of applause. lol.

Either way, there is much to be grateful for and lots of things that made me happy this week.

Sunday: 04/21/2013

1. Celebrated my big brother’s 38th birthday!  Woo!

2. Finally got around to doing some of my cleaning (though not all of it).

3. Managed to pull out a decent speed 5 mile run….I know! lol.

Monday: 04/22/2013

1. It wasn’t as lame as most Monday’s are.

2. I managed to turn one super annoying negative into a positive, which I am not the best at doing.

3. I was in bed shortly after 11:30.  Yay!

Tuesday: 04/23/2013

1. Had a chillaxed start to my day as I had a late start time– 10am (thanks to a late running work event).

2. Did not beat myself for not going to the gym this morning  like I had planned.

3. Got in a decent speed training workout this evening.

Wednesday: 04/24/2013

1. I started out my day with a trip to Parlour for delicious hipster coffee.

2. Had a lovely lunch with a friend (that I ended up wearing for the rest of the day..ugh).

3. Gave myself permission to indulge in a bit too much ice cream because, darn it, I just really wanted a good serving of ice cream.

Thursday: 04/25/2013

1. I am having a surprisingly great hair day–which is making me feel drastically better about the two mysterious hives that have graced my face with their presence…ugh!

2. Did a slightly speedier four miles at a steady pace than I have done in a long time…perhaps my speed is coming back?

3. I was in bed by 11:15…though I am sad to report I didn’t actually fall asleep until almost 2am.

Friday: 04/26/2013

1. Leonard Cohen from third row, centre.  Need I say more?!

2. It’s going into the plus double digits today for temperature…so this will be the nicest, warmest day that Winnipeg has experience since probably September.  I wore a dress to work today to celebrate.

3. I managed to squeeze in a quick run before going to the show tonight. Woot!

Saturday: 04/27/2013

1. Brunch with my cousin, K.  Very excited to see her–esp. since I haven’t seen her since Christmas.

2. Treated myself to a facial. All that traveling, poor eating, poor sleep and stress from mid-February to mid-April really took a toll on my skin.  Time to get some of my prettyness back.

3. A Saturday night promised to no one but me.  SO can’t wait.    I think I might read a book.

What is making you happy this week?  Let me know in the comments!
