Spring Wishlist

Hello everyone!  I'm so happy that it's Thursday, one of my favorite days of the week!  I especially love it because I get to link up with Amanda!  I love seeing what everyone else is thinking about.

This week, I'm in full-on SPRING mode!  The weather has been consistently above freezing (just a little rainy!) and I'm loving running in shorts and t-shirts.  I'm about ready to pack away some of my sweaters, and I'm ready to start shopping for spring!

Here are a few things that I'm looking forward to wearing and buying in the next few months.  Share what's on your Spring wishlist in the comments below!  Online window-shopping is the best :)

Clothes

1.  Bright T-Shirts : Love the scallops on this one from Top Shop.  This one from Madewell looks so soft!
2.  Printed Rompers : I have this same one in black-might need to buy all the patterns.  Also obsessed with the print on this one.
3.  Soft Shorts : From the upcoming Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection.  I also love these from Forever 21.
4.  Pleated Skirts : Love this striped version from JCrew Factory.  I've had this one from Uniqlo pinned for months.


Accessories

1.  D'Orsay flat : I've been obsessed with these flats from Madewell for the past year.  These are more in my price range though!
2.  Printed Scarf : This dotted one from &Other Stories is so cute!  H&M has a similar style with a bigger print.
3.  Spiked Earrings : I love the mixed metal on this pair from Madewell!  I'm also obsessed with the ear jacket version at Bauble Bar.
4.  Colorful Crossbody : This is such a cute bag, but a bit expensive for me.  This one from Target is similar for much less!


Makeup

1.  Tinted Moisturizer : I like to lighten up my face makeup when it's warmer, and this is supposed to be a great formula.  I've heard that Rimmel's is really good too!
2.  Colorful Liner : Best liner I've ever tried, drugstore or high-end. I love using liquid liner, so I might have to try out one of these pretty colors.
3.  Cream Shadow : This formula looks perfect for warm weather and I love the color.  I've always loved the Maybelline Color Tattoos as well!
4.  Coral Lips : La Creme is one of my favorite lipstick formulas .  I would love to try a YSL gloss (so beautiful!!) but I don't think I could justify spending over $30 on a gloss..


What's on your spring wish list?

    I'm most looking forward to ditching the socks and being able to wear flip flops and sandals lol. But I love that you mentioned makeup since I'm a total beauty junkie at heart. That tinted moisturizer really is wonderful -- I need to stop by Sephora and pick up another tube!

    I need new clothes! I have no idea what I'm going to wear in Paris. I'm pretty sure my entire wardrobe consists of workout clothes at this point. : )

      I know what you mean! I just picked up the Abroad Dress from Madewell and I think I'm going to be wearing it pretty much every day in Europe :)

    I nearly just jumped off the couch (but not out of my PJ pants) and sprinted to Target.

    I'll so go later. :D

      I know what you mean...I live dangerously close to one and want to go all the time. The Lilly Pulitzer collection isn't available until April 19, so I'll try to hold off for 10 more days!! (counting down)

    I love that J Crew skirt! I have the Josie Maran cream eyeshadow and love it. It's what I wear when I'm short on time since its quick to apply and looks great. I have the rose gold color, which is warm and soft.

      That's great to hear! I usually only wear a cream shadow to work (super lazy) and this one looks so pretty for summer! I'll have to check it out once sephora has their sale :)

Relationship Rules I Broke (and WEDDING PHOTOS!)

Image
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a different type of post to share today.  I don't talk about relationships or my dating life much on the blog, but I'm switching it up today!  I got married last Friday, and I thought it would be fun to share some relationship rules that I broke while Dan and I dated. I'll also be sharing some wedding pictures!  We got married at the Butterfly Falls at the Hidden Valley Inn in Belize (more on the Inn in upcoming posts!), and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  Since we had a "just the two of us" ceremony, there's not much to talk about the actual wedding.  In lieu of a full post on that, I'll be sharing some background information on our relationship, along with wedding photos and some #ThrowbackThursday pictures.  I hope you enjoy (and I promise- back to running stuff next week!) Guys are immature, so date someone older I've always read in magazines (which, by the way, have the worst datin

Towpath Half Marathon Recap

Image
Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'll be recapping my race this weekend, the Towpath Half Marathon.  Overall, I had a great experience at the race and would definitely recommend it!  Before I dive into the mile-by-mile recap, I just wanted to give some overall thoughts and reviews of the race as a whole. The Towpath Marathon features three races- a full marathon, half marathon and 10k.  All three races are in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but all run different courses.  The half and 10k start at the Brandywine Ski Resort, while the full starts at the Boston Mills Ski Resort (where the expo is held). The course is mostly on a narrow crushed limestone trail that is relatively flat.  There are a few sections that were paved and a few small walking bridges that provided the only real inclines.  It's really hard to pass people (particularly near the turn where it's two-way traffic) since the trail is so narrow. There are a lot of water stations, and each o

Review- Group Power

Image
Happy Weekend everyone!  Today, I'll be doing a review of another group exercise I do at my gym called Group Power !  Let's get right into it. First off, the description in our program guide is "This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with simple, athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls." I don't exactly look like this when I'm curling..but you get the idea! Let me tell you, this is one intense workout!  For the entire 60 minutes, we're constantly moving and lifting and by the end I'm a pool of sweat!  We work out all the major muscle groups - Legs, Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Glutes, Shoulders, and Core with light to moderate weights.  We also use a step to do exercises like chest presses and split squats. For each song, we focus on one muscle group, and do a variety of exercises with lots of repetitions, set to the beat of the music.  The tempo of the
