Top Five Friday #73

Happy Friday!  This week has flown by really fast and I'm excited for a relaxing weekend.  The past few weeks have been really busy, but this one has absolutely no plans.  I'm hoping to watch some football, baseball, and chill out.  Here's hoping that you all have a great weekend as well!


PSU vs OSU

This is definitely old news, but it's too good not to share!  Last weekend, Penn State caused its biggest upset since the 60's when they beat Ohio State at home.  This is always the biggest game of the year, and for the past few years we've gotten close but were never able to finish it off.  It was such an exciting game with an incredible ending, and I could not be more proud to be a Nittany Lion right now!


Gilmore Girls Trailer

It's almost that time- time for the long awaited Gilmore Girls revival!  I am soooo excited, and the trailer that got released is giving me all the feels.  #Jess+Rory4Life


Thug Kitchen Cookbook

I love using cookbooks, especially to help plan out my meals for the week.  It was getting pretty hard to find recipes that were vegan-friendly (or that I could make substitutes) in the cookbooks that I had, so I decided to pick up a new book.  After some recommendations, I decided to order Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook, which also happens to be the #1 vegan cookbook on Amazon.  I have to say that all of the praise and rave reviews are well deserved- this cookbook is amazing!  I already have a vegan dinner planned where each person will be making a different recipe from Thug Kitchen, and I can't wait to try out EVERYTHING.


Play! by Sephora Box

Christophe Robin mask - This mask is so amazing.  It makes my hairy look smooth and moisturized, without weighing it down or making it look greasy at all.  The only thing I don't like is the smell, which reminds me of baby wipes!
Erborian creme gel - I like this moisturizer, but it's nothing life-changing.
Estee Edit gloss - I'm not really a gloss person and didn't notice any brightening effects when I used it (the gloss is tinted slightly blue to make your teeth look whiter).  I do appreciate the fact that this wasn't a sticky gloss!
Farmacy mist - I LOVE this stuff.  It smells incredible and makes me feel like I'm at a spa!  I'm thinking about buying the full size once I finish this up.
Smashbox liquid lipstick - This formula is pretty drying, but I love the color the the applicator.  It has a pointy end which makes it easy to make a crisp line around your lips. 


Fashion

It's definitely feeling like fall now, which means that I'm pulling out all of my sweaters!  I actually got this outfit at the outlets last weekend, and love the pop of purple on a cool day.


What are your plans this weekend?
Favorite cookbook?

    I have to wear real clothes tonight for the concert, and it scares me. Luckily, I can still wear plaid flannel because it is country :D

    I've got no major plans this weekend and I'm a-okay with that! That looks like an awesome cookbook. I want to get the Eat Smart cookbook by Niomi Smart

    Oh I love the idea of doing a dinner where everyone makes something from the cookbook! I love having actual books around for meal planning and cooking, there's just something better about it than looking at a recipe online.

    Ahhhh you're so cute. I'm glad your weekend is going to be quiet and relaxing! And that any cookbook that has the words "thug" and "fuck" on the cover could convert me to veganism!

    I'm doing a 20 miler tomorrow and lots of work since it's my only weekend at home in the past 3 months. Thug Kitchen is amazing and Team Jess all the way! (you already know I'm all about that PSU victory- going up next weekend for a game)

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
