Top Five Friday #77

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday and are ready for a good weekend.  I have a short list of favorites to share today, but I hope you enjoy!


Play! By Sephora


Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet : I loooove this moisturizer.  It reminds me of the gel moisturizer from Clinique, which used to be my favorite!  It has a great texture and works on my sensitive skin.
GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment : This is one of my favorite face masks, so I was happy to get a mini size to use! 
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour : I was most excited to try this.  I love using cream eye shadow sticks, and I've heard this one is amazing.  I got it in the shade rose gold, and it's really creamy and a beautiful color that's perfect for work.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultra Shine Lip Gel : I'm not much of a lip gloss girl, but this one feels like a gel once you apply it and isn't sticky at all!  It's pretty amazing.  I got the color Pin Up Pink, which just enhances my natural lip color.
COVER FX Illuminating Primer : I stopped wearing foundation earlier this year (except for special occasions) so I haven't tried this yet!  I love COVER FX products though, so I'm sure I'll like it.


AMA Red Carpet Favorites

Selena Gomez - loved the simple and elegant red dress!

Fifth Harmony - I loved how the group looked cohesive but all of the dresses were really unique!

Tim McGraw - Hello cowboy! Great jacket with just enough country accents.


Plant-Based Protein Powder

Some days I struggle to get in enough protein in my diet, so I'm thinking about trying a plant-based powder.  I recently tried a sample of this kind from Whole Foods and I was really impressed!  The dark chocolate flavor is amazing and rich, and I also want to give vanilla caramel a try.  Does anyone have other recommendations for plant-based protein powders?


Have a great weekend!

    I really love Vega Sport as a protein powder in smoothies. It's not bad with almond milk either. I buy the one that has turmeric and tart cherry powders in it for an extra recovery boost.

    Plant based protein powders that are delicious are hard to find! I need to see if that one's available on iHerb to try it out!

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
