-Going to the movies. Went to my second one of the week last night. Bless my mom’s heart for letting me put Brooke to bed at her house at night so that I could go out and interact with other humans:) I don’t know what it is about the movie theater that I love so much but I can’t stop.
–This Instagram account. What better way to start your day than a clip from Friends?
-This combination that I had at my ice cream party the other night. Doesn’t get any better.
-Sweet potatoes. I don’t know what it is about them but I feel like they just get me. Thank goodness Costco sells them by the 10 lb bags.
-Okay, this is kind of a long one. So, you were all right—> Proactive dried my skin out big time. A good friend that is a skin expert told me to try these exfoliating pads and to spend a little extra and get some good makeup (I usually use all really cheap makeup). Yes, it is more expensive than what I am used to but I have noticed big changes in my skin since switching over (and it is cheaper overall than buying Proactive each month;). Plus, now I just don’t wear makeup as often or I just use a little bit to avoid wasting the good stuff.
I am now hooked on this tinted moisturizer, this powder and bronzer.
-How Brooke decided to watch Curious George yesterday. Why just be on one couch when you can be on two couches?!
-Hugging. My mom sent me this video. I want to hug a lion.
-This picture of a race medal decorated Christmas tree that a reader sent me. BRILLIANT IDEA.
“Since my 17 month old is a busybody I decided to decorate this year’s tree with all 128 indestructible race medals that my husband and I have collected over the last 10 years.”
-I love being the only one in the household that has control of the thermometer. It doesn’t take much to heat up my little apartment so I keep it at a wonderful 74 (sometimes 75) degrees and get to escape the coldness outside.
-My favorite ever Children’s book arrived in the mail yesterday. This book makes me tear up every time I read it.
-My Favorite Red Shoes on the planet. I wear them at least a few times a week and they are beyond comfortable.

Georgia-Mae Morrison @Alandel
I love that book!! I used to ask my mom to read it to me over and over.
Michele @ paleorunningmomma
Ugh about Proactive! Tried it years ago and it wrecked my skin, which is on the oily side, and just made it so dry and red it was terrible. Plus the zits were still there, perfect. Glad you found something better. I’m a sweet potato lover as well. Especially since I’m going a bit more carb heavy before my marathon on Sunday! Gonna roast some actually to bring with me.
Scallywag
Janae if you like that lion clip you HAVE to check out Christian the Lion on youtube- it’ll make you cry!
Best part of friday will be going to see Interstellar with my mum :)
My current faves: sweet potato, bouldering, hills.
Barbara
OMG Christian the Lion for sure! A real tear jerker.
Sarah @ KS Runner
I love my crock pot. Because what is better than coming home to a house that smells amazing and dinner that is cooked. My family is pretty awesome too. I’m lucky to have them in the same town I live in. My mom dropped off fresh banana muffins at 10 pm last night. I’m lucky!
The Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer is good stuff! I love your red shoes…those may have to go on my Christmas wish list!
Kristina @ Blog About Running
What a great Christmas tree decorating idea! I love it! I need to up my racing game because right now I only have enough to decorate a mini tree, haha!
Which movie did you go see? I’m thinking about seeing Interstellar tomorrow night and wondering how it is?
Brynn
I love going to the movies but have no clue why. Today is fabulous because it’s my birthday!
Randi
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Sarah
Happy Birthday!! Yay for November birthdays!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Happy happy happy bday Brynn! I hope you have the best day ever!
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog
I would sweat my butt off at your house! I keep it between 65 and 70 :) But again, our winters are slightlyyyy different!
I’ve actually heard really really good things about all Laura Mercier makeup, I think I’ll have to ask for some for Christmas!
Best part of my Friday is that one of my best friends is getting married this evening! I get to be a bridesmaid so I’ll be jetting out of my office early today to celebrate with her!
Hollie
I’ve never been a big peppermint fan actually. I think it’s just the general mint flavor. Obviously there are lots of people that care for it…just not me. Lol.
We are traveling back to my parents today so I guess that’s winning!
Hollie
I win for blog spammer today. I guess my internet was over zealous there…so why not leave another comment explaining myself…
Hollie
I’ve never been a big peppermint fan actually. I think it’s just the general mint flavor. Obviously there are lots of people that care for it…just not me. Lol.
We are traveling back to my parents today so I guess that’s winning for my Friday.
Liv @ Healthy Liv
I think I’m actually going to see Mockingjay in theater with friends tonight! I’m also doing my first 10k just for fun (I’ve done 5ks and halfs but never a 10k?)
Nicole@TheGirlWhoRanEverywhere
I love that tree decorating idea!! my non running husband would not enjoy it though, LOL!!!!
Today it is my favorite day because its Friday … i didn’t know if i was actually going to make it to the weekend because this week was killer!!
Tina Muir
You have decorated your tree allllreadddyyy! Look at you go! Wow! I am gonna follow that friends IG right now, that is awesome! Is that peppermint ice cream good? I was tempted by it the other day, but went for a more peanut buttery one in the end! My friday thing is my post that took me 45738346 hours to help with what to wear for each temperature! I think it was worth it haha, I am proud of all the hours I put into it. Oh, and all my english candy my mum brought me….I am LOVING that!
Randi
Best part of my Friday: 3 mile run in this morning and it was only 45…yay!, some awesome snuggles and “deep conversation” with my 2.5 yo this morning, my hubby having the day off today, and my last work day before Thanksgiving!
Monica
Oh, my goodness!!! That tree is so awesome! What a cool idea.
One of my recent favorite things is instant coffee from Starbucks. I know… Instant coffee -gross, right? But this stuff is gooood! I get the vanilla latte one and love it!
Lindsey @ Simply Lindsey
The best part about my Friday is not having to go to bed by a certain time in order to get up early for the work day! Yay for fun nights and sleeping in on Saturdays! :)
chelsea
The best part of my Friday will be checking out my marathon’s expo later this afternoon!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
I decorated my tree with race medals last year for the first time and loved the way it looked. It’s an awesome idea.
I’m working at the Philadelphia marathon expo today and tomorrow! I’ll be representing the NJ Marathon in booth 712. If anyone is coming stop by for authentic jersey shore salt water taffy and a chance to win a free race entry! Woot!
Sara
I’m going to run the Philly half! I’ll look for you at the expo on Saturday! :)
Jenny
I’m working the philly expo tomorrow!! I’ll be handing out race bibs, 1230-430; figured if I can’t run it (injured), might as well work it–yay!!
Cara
Oh.my.word. That tree is BRILLIANT!!! That would be a great one for our bedroom….
The best thing (so far) about my Friday is that I stopped and bought donuts today. Totally worth every calorie. Plus I have to get a long run in tomorrow, so I can justify it…:)
Katie
I just ordered that book for my kids!! And I want to get the entire Wemmicks collection. Also, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is my FAVORITE, as is everything from Laura Mercier – love her makeup. Aveeno and neutrogena make great tinted moisturizers and I have not had skin problems with either. Happy Friday:)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I need a 10lb bag of sweet potatoes! Ah!
Yay for keeping the heat up ;) Just how I like it too!
Mary (Sisters Running the Kitchen)
I wear that same Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and bronzer! Worth the extra money!
Kristen
The best part of my Friday is going to be getting some serious couch/snuggle/netflix time with my Girlie this evening. As much as I complain about the lack of daylight in winter it is nice to get that before dinner snuggle time.
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
I think I’m going to begin decorating this weekend. That way next weekend I can kick back and enjoy. The best part of today is in getting a much needed sports massage. My legs are screaming for it!
Brooke@runningonchange
I love fridays because that usually means a group run is in order! I have been craving a good long run!
Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine
I wish my husband would let us keep the apartment at 74! We have had it around 66 and I am always freezing. Last night I slept in a shirt, long sleeve t shirt, and sweat shirt and was still cold.
That ice cream combo sounds perfect!
Linda @ The Fitty
okay, what is Slow churned ice cream? How does it taste different compared to non-slow churned? Your christmas tree is a golden beauty! We have yet to take ours out.
Kim
I miss a whole lot of things about the west coast (headed home to Seattle TOMORROW!!!) but we recently discovered Turkey Hill which is an east coast ice cream brand that makes the best flavors. If anyone sees whoopie pie in the store, get it. I had my qualms but it is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
So, obviously, the best part of my friday will be packing and continuing to make a list of all the things I’m going to do when I visit home for the first time since moving :)
Aimee
Yeah for Seattelites!! :) I am from (and still live in) Redmond. I have moved various places around the country…not too many places compare to the beauty the Puget Sound has to offer (even through some of the gray). :) Enjoy your trip home!
Erica
Chris and I seriously have a passive aggressive fight over the thermometer. I turn it up, he turns it down……..not a word is said about it.
molly
Glad you like that friends insta account ;)
You are special is my absolute favorite book! I’d recommend it for any age.
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
Agree with you about sweet potatoes and want to throw in my jar of peanut butter. It totally gets me….And agree about quality makeup/cosmetics. Worth every penny when you find the right combo of products for your skin.
Lauren @ The Foodie Runner
I love “Your are Special” so much! All of Max Lucado’s books are just amazing – especially his children’s books. He also has a really great Christmas series that I read almost every Christmas!
Tiffany
I love that book as well. I bought it years ago and was waiting to give it to my son once he was old enough. He will get it for Christmas this year!
Super good choice!
Kirtley Freckleton @ The Gist of Fit
Makeup is the beign of my existence haha. I can’t yet bring myself to buy expensive stuff…so I jist don’t wear makeup….so I tell myself I don’t need it anyway….But down inside I know I want it so bad haha ;)
Loved all your favs! I’m coveting those shoes right now. Best part of today? No work! So I get to run, clean, read, ride horses and catch up on my fun work!
Have a great weekend!
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
Best part of my Friday is going to be watching my baby in her district speech meet (proud Mom moment). I’m taking a 1/2 day at work and I’m actually looking forward to the 1/2 that I get to be there too. And tonight I’m taking my Mama to dinner and a massage for her bday. Good day :)
Some of my favorites right now: coffee (always), my current Scentsy smell in my class room, and Carmex. So random.
Jennifer
I did a Friday 5 on my blog today of my favorites!
Tonight we’re having a Friendsgiving!!
Caitlin
BalmShelter makes the BEST tinted moisturizer (I actually like it more than Laura Mercier, although both are great!). I use Bare Minerals bronzer in addition and I’m good to go. Also, if you’re having issues with acne, try Retin-A. Not gonna lie…it will completely dry your skin out for a month, but then it gets much better. Plus it prevents wrinkles :)
Morgan
That makeup you switched to is definitely a good brand nut I also thought I’d recommend Bare Minerals and Simple Skincare (I used the cleansing wipes). Since I started using that combination of makeup and cleansing wipes my skin has never looked better. I found the Simple Skincare line through another blogger online and decided to give it a try b/c I can easily pick it up at Publix, Wal-Mart or Target and it’s cheap and yet quality. The makeup is more expensive than I used to spend but I really don’t have to use that much. It’s been nearly a year since my last purchase of foundation and bronzer
Jennifer
Lots of plans this weekend…maybe too many fun things planned. Tonight I’m taking a carload of teenagers to see the Mockingjay movie. 20 mile run in the morning and then taking another carload of kids to the Alabama game. Phew….looking forward to it but a bit overwhelmed with all that packed into a short time period.
Just bought a new pair of Under Armour running capris last night….SO comfortable so that may be a favorite thing right now.
LOVE how Brooke is watching tv :)
Cori @ shes going the distance
Best part of friday will be seeing the Hunger Games tonight :)
cheryl
Best part of Friday–that it is Friday!!! I am so looking forward to this weekend…I think we may decorate a bit… ;)
Sarah
I am loving my new workout: body beast. I’m going to be strong and defined when I can run again!
And I am totally copying the race medal tree- my husband and I ran 18 races this past year, we can do it!
Caroline @ The Little Things
Best part of Friday so far was the free cake donut I just got at work! HUZZAH!! :) I love the book “you are special” and have it in my office right now.
Amanda@Runninghood
Love that book…Makes me tear up every time too! I have lots of books I love that I tear up when I read. Have you read the book “Someday”? Try that one…you’ll cry, but it’s so sweet and makes such a good gift for a mother!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
Seasonal ice cream is my favorite – I need more peppermint, I finished mine!
The best part of my Friday is going to be that I FINALLY took my car in to get a slow leak in my tire fixed. I have just been adding air periodically for two months now. So lazy.
Leah (goodnight cheese)
Best part of Friday – making kugel and Olive Oil brownie cookies for the weekend!
Karin
Best part of today- I’m going to lunch with my brothers to celebrate my youngest bro getting in to the college of his choice!
I saw a pre screening of Mockingjay on Wednesday and it was really good! But I need to re-read the books and/or re-watch the movies because I couldn’t remember what the heck was going on.
Brooke’s abs must be rockin.
I love tinted moisturizer from Nars and Smashboc. My rule is if it goes on my skin I spring for the nice stuff, otherwise I use drugstore brands.
Karin
Oh and most importantly, Chick Fil A has a seasonal shake flavor of Peppermint Chocolate chip and it is delicious. I will be getting one once a week through the new year.
Kristen @ Glitter and Dust
Friends clips on Instragram!? We talked about this yesterday – I need this now. And of course it’s a picture of Ross impersonating the Velociraptor.
Best part of my Friday – I am going to a comedy show charity event this evening with my hubby and some friends. I love laughing and it benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon. What better way to start the weekend?
tess
Hmm. My son is on proactive. I wonder what he should switch to if it isn’t working? And I can’t tell if it isn’t because sometimes he just slacks off on using it. :(
pd
The palmitate ingredients in the Laura Mercier Baked Powder and tinted moisturizer are highly likely to cause acne. (Isopropyl Palmitate is the worst offender for me personally. I can’t even use lip products with it.)
Molly @ Motherhood and Marathons
My favorites right now: My new Aztec print cardigan sweater :), my new puffy coat, peanut butter chocolate Clif Bars (those are ALWAYS my favorite), my new treadmill (I can finally run while my hubby is gone and my baby is sleeping!), and Gymboree open gym now that it’s too cold for Max to play outside.
Today is going to be awesome because it’s Friday! No work for two days and lots of family and friends time this weekend. And of course, tons of time with my little man :)
Have a great weekend!
Lizzie @ The Magic Tree
Your ice cream post just made me want ice cream. Like now. I’m looking forward to a nice dinner tonight with some of our best friends tonight + my girlfriend’s Friendsgiving on Saturday night! So many “friends” in that sentence :)
Emma @ Life's A Runner
I already follow 300+ instagram accounts, but that Friends one will definitely be added to the list! Too needed.
I should really stop reading posts with delicious food in them before I eat breakfast. So far, I’ve craved burgers, pizza, chicken soup, and now ice cream for my first meal of the day.
Amanda @ Slimplify Life
When my house is at 72 degrees I’m still freezing. Like, Antarctica freezing. 75 sounds heavenllllly. I think all runners get cold easily?! ;)
Kay
I LOVE buying new makeup, I’m glad that what you’re using now is working out better for you!
Sheryl
Long time reader, first time poster! I love your grey coat, where did you get it? I’ve been looking for something warm and stylish for a while but haven’t had any luck. Thanks!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Hey Sheryl!! Thanks so much for commenting! It is from Banana Republic about 2 years ago! I hope you are having a great day!
Amy @ They May be Light
I’m going to have to try some of those products. I hated proactive too, I mean it worked but I felt like I was ruining my skin in the process.
Kelli
Favorite things lately: Blank Space by Taylor Swift, pizza, Museum of Natural Curiosity, blankets, hot chocolate.
Best part of my Friday: Hanging out with my husband and son, packet pick up for my 5K tomorrow!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner
I am loving the cold weather! Perfect for snuggling, tea/hot chocolate, and reading a good book.
Bethany
The BEST part of my friday will be starting a fire, watching some Law & Order SVU and having an inside picnic with my fiance and my puppy :)
Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete
Max Lucado. <3 I used to go to his church near San Antonio. He's just as wonderful as you'd ever hope he'd be in real life.
Best part of my Friday = Brinner!
Nona @ RunningHigh
Oh I am so checking out that Friends Instagram account! I started buying “real” makeup about a year ago and it’s amazing how it’s worth it! I’m a big fan of Tarte products.
Best thing about Friday, it’s ALMOST Friday ;) gotta work tomorrow, so my weekend isn’t quite here yet. I am thankful it almost is though!
Beks
Ugh. Proactiv. You either love it or hate it. There is no middle ground. I had the driest skin when I used it, and the only thing that helped cure it was Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night cream, which has a horrible, thick texture, but when you wake up, your skin is glowy and fresh. I stick to Neutrogena Pore Refining cleanser and toner with a moisturizer for Combo skin now. Now if only I could get more consistent with it…
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
Okay I now feel like a normal human being because my husband keeps the thermostat at 68 and says that’s a compromise because he would want it to be at 64. I didn’t think 70-something was super warm! haha
And that race medal tree is adorable! What a fun idea!
Vanessa
Hi! I live in Dallas and it is not nearly as cold as Utah, but we do get some ice and snow. How are those red sneakers in cold weather? I have some nicer boots, but wanted something I could wear in colder weather that was cute but comfy. I tried Uggs and they look so,so bad on me. Props to all those ladies who make Uggs and leggings look adorable – I am not one!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties
How on earth did brooke balance on the two couches like that!? She is impressive!
Katie Did What
That tree is so cool!! And I have heard nothing but good things about the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer- I need to try it!
xo
Lilly
I live in PA and turkey hill ice cream is great! I hate slow churned ice cream, it just doesn’t taste as good to me.
We do bicker about heat in my house. It’s usually between 68-70 though. I can’t sleep if its any warmer than that!
Shay
Max Lucado can get a tear out of a linebacker. Love that book.
Angela @ North Idaho Runner
I’ve never used Proactive. However, I’ve struggled with acne my entire life. For me, the only thing that seemed to work was to limit how much makeup I wore and how often I wore it. Also, I use this Aztec Clay Mask that I bought off Amazon about twice a week.
This week has flown by….I would say that my favorite thing has been the change in temperature even if that has brought with it snow + slush. We’re now in the high 30’s / low 40’s….this is tropical compared to what we were dealing with last week.
I’m eager to meet with my husband for appetizers after work….some carb loading for my long run tomorrow!
Meg R
lol the lounging between two couches pic made me laugh! too cute.
Kristin
My best part of Friday so far? Following FriendsTVVideos. Thank you for that tidbit! Am I the only one that can relate Friends’ episodes to their real life? Like when something is going on in my life and I say, This is like that episode of Friends where…(fill in the blank). Best. Show. Ever.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out
Best part of my day: dinner & drinks with friends tonight– can’t wait!
Dana @ Running for Coffee
That tree is too cool! I used Proactive for awhile, but I found that after like 2 weeks it just stopped working. I use Let the Good Times Roll from Lush now and me and my skin love it :) I’ll definitely be all over that IG account, I love Friends! I’m pretty sure my boyfriend and coworkers are starting to hate all my references haha.
Jesica @rUnladylike
Peppermint ice cream at the holidays is my absolute favorite flavor. It is a good thing that they only make it during November and December :) And of course, I love my Brooks Chariots too. I have the grey ones. xo
michelle shaffer
my sister has struggled with her skin for years, we were able to determine she has an allergy to benzoyl peroxide, like the main ingredient in proactive and many acne treatments, she stopped useing products that contain it and it has improved her skin greatly!! just the origninal noxema has worked really well, we both use it and love it!
Hilary
Junior Mints are the best, I have got to try them with peppermint ice cream! The best part of my Fridays lately is being able to run outside in daylight – the rest of the work week, I don’t get home til well after dark.
Lindsay
I was just gifted that book a few weeks ago by a friend!
Laura
Okay, you were reading my mind. Last night I was furiously clicking back through your posts trying to find the one where you were wearing the red shoes because they are SO cute and I want to ask for them for x-mas, but I couldn’t find the post and didn’t know what brand they were. So thank you!!!!
Valerie
I like the way Brooke chose to watch TV.
Rheagan @ Hardly Awesome
My very favorite things this week are hot showers, chips and salsa (!), and the fact that my son is sleeping in. Maybe he’s hibernating???!
Ashley D
I absolutely love that book!! My mom got it for me and both of my sisters a year ago for Christmas- at ages 25, 23, and 21- we were ecstatic!! A few favorites this week are Burt’s Bees ultimate care body lotion for my poor dry winter skin and fleece lined leggings. Its only been in the 20s this week here in Michigan so I’m trying to stay warm.
Best part of my Friday is getting ready for our trip home to family on Tuesday!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
Hi there and happy Friday! I haven’t been to the movies in forever! And I’m also all about sweet potatoes. I’m loving a new G-Shock stopwatch for my wrist I bought last week for teaching bootcamp. Have a great weekend:)
Hayley
I discovered Laura Mecier this year and never looked back. My face is SO MUCH clearer with the foundation. In fact, I tried to use leftover of an older, cheaper bottle I had, and my face immediately broke out. I love LM!
Samantha Olivent
It is the best friday because I am done and survived all of my clinicals for 1st semester of nursing school! Nine whole days off to eat, run and relax with my family!
Camile
I love that book too! We have a copy for our kids that used to be my husband’s when he was young.
And 74. Wow. I wish I could set mine there. We keep ours at 66! It’s actually kind of nice though because I do a lot of home workouts and don’t need it any warmer once I get moving :)
Jean
Happy Friday!! I think you have sold me on sweet potatoes, I love reading the different ways you prepare them!.
Best part of this Friday is I took a WHOLE WEEK off of work starting tomorrow and I can’t wait! I’m going to run every day with no time pressure and just enjoy my holiday time with my kids!
The Silent Assassin
Lol…did Brooke know she was planking?! =) Have a great weekend!
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
Laura Mercier makeup is amazing! I did all the makeup at my wedding for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mom and used Laura Mercier. Her highlighter is awesome!
Best part about my Friday: It is the first day above freezing and so I’ve enjoying extra time outside today!
MILF Runner
You need to go to TJ’s and get some of the holiday JoJo’s…they are like chocolate-dipped peppermint oreos with crushed candy cane sprinkled on top. So amazing.
My Friday has had a fantastic row on perfect water, no-nonsense weight workout, deep tissue massage, and a delicious lunch. It’s been a great day :)
Christy
Yay! My tree made your blog! Thanks for posting Janae! It was a whole lot of fun to do.
I need to look into Laura Mercier. I’m such a drug store kind of girl. Now that I’m turning 38, I think it’s time to spend more money on my skin. Afterall your face is the first thing people see!
Best day about my Friday: not having to wash my hair for the next 2 days!
amy
I agree about the proactive.
I would poop my pants if that lion tried to kiss me.
Brooke is freakin’ adorable on the couch like that
I made your version of the chicken chili and it was fantastic! . Than k u for yet another recipe of greatness that i will make all the time (besides your brothers s’mores bars)
Kate
Another really sweet kid’s book…On The Night You Were Born.
Best part of my Friday…watching all the Thursday night show’s I DVRed but haven’t yet watched.
Sarah
You may not have to spend $$$ on makeup; I switched to mineral makeup and it cleared my acne so fast. Plus it lasts forever! I started with BareMinerals but now I just get Maybelline.
Denise
Best part of my Friday:
I’m going to see Mockingjay in a few hours! :)
Amanda Olson
I LOVE that Christmas tree!!!! Absolutely brilliant! My Friday is the end of a very busy week and I’m looking forward to catching up with my husband and hanging out with my baby :)
kristina
i didn’t like pro active either…idk if you tried it bc of acne or another issue…but i struggled with my skin for years and it wasn’t until i started birth control that it cleared up right away! i never break out anymore!
Rachel @ Blonde with a Chanse
The best part of my Friday was going for a walk around the temple with my hubby and our baby girl. The weather was so nice, and I just love how peaceful the temple is :) Lately I am absolutely loving my Christmas decorations, and the thought that I get to travel home for Thanksgiving in 2 days!!
Elle @ The Clean Project
The best part of my Friday was getting out for a run! I’ve worked so many hours this week, it was amazing to finally get out and run. Plus its finally above freezing here!
Katie
I’m going to have to look into that book!
Colleen
ahhhh thank you thank you thank you for showing me where to buy those fabulous red shoes! I was just looking today and couldn’t find them!
Kristin
Ok, I don’t often speak up but every time you bring up the skin care routine I think about mentioning this one: Avon Moisture Therapy Hand Cream. Best stuff ever, I swear. I have tried proactive and I have tried some $400 ish stuff from the day spa place in Orem and by far this stuff has been the best. My neighbor gave it to me for my little girls excema and I also use it in replace of neosporin. It is similar to Aquaphor in consistency but I don’t feel greasy. Anyway, I never mention it because it seems to “non fancy.” Plus, I’m sure you get opinions and recommendations all over the place and you don’t really even know me! (I work with Amy and Amy on the She Runs races). So, there you go!
https://www.avon.com/product/38612/moisture-therapy-intensive-healing-repair-hand-cream
Tedi
Skincare side… I have used Avon’s clearskin products and they have helped a lot. I usually only wear mascara and eye liner everyday. I’m too afraid to try actual makeup for my face because it used to clog it and make me break out worse when I was younger…
The best part was when my husband took half a day off from work, got a lot of his school work done, and was able to go grocery shopping with me! :)
Brooke
I keep my heat on 74 too. It’s the only way to live.
Nikki@will run for pizza
Some of my faves? Snapeas. The salt snapeas. And the black pepper snapeas. I’m just not sure how they are getting 3.5 servings out of ONE bag….Some more faves – Pur gum, fuzzy fleece socks, leftover candy corn, my new spinning bike & boxing bag, running in colder-than-summer temps, Dancing with the Stars, and online shopping.
Deb
The best solution for bad skin? Warm water with half a lemon squeezed in first thing in the morning. I was having serious skin problems earlier this year. Within 2 days of trying this I noticed a difference. I have since thrown out all other acne products and just use moisturizers! I tell everyone I meet about this because it changed my life!
Melissa
The best part of my Friday was that I got MARRIED!!!!
