{casual Friday}
Hey guys! Welcome to my Saturday Series, “Some Things I’m Loving!” If you want to join me, feel free to link up below and we can all share with each other what we’ve been loving this week! :)
Song: Matt Nathanson’s “Bulletproof Weeks.” It’s just beautiful, okay.
Workout: I have been a workout fiend, and I love it! I’ve realised that my happiness and mood for the entire day definitely relies heavily upon whether I got in a good sweat in the morning. I am trying so hard to wake up earlier and get it done first thing, but it’s hard to break my habit of wake up > breakfast/coffee > workout, so as of now that is still my routine. My next goal is to set our sleep time earlier, but howww do two night owls do that, I ask?
Food: Trader Joe’s Natural peanut butter. Sorry, Jif, I’m never looking back now. Natural peanut butter is soooo the way to go. It tastes better, it’s better for you (no hydrogenated oils, yay!) and you want to know my favourite part? The ingredients label reads: Dry Roasted Peanuts. And that’s it. That’s what I’m talking about. You go Glen Coco.
Clothing: I think my tweet from earlier this week sums it up perfectly-
True life: I’m addicted to workout clothes.

Have you ever tried natural peanut butter? Zack still claims he likes the other stuff better “because it tastes less like peanuts and is sweeter.” I disagree, but then, I like peanuts more than he does, so.

Wanna link up with some things you’re loving? Just add your link below! :) Please link back to me in your post, too!
I love it! I totally need to get my butt back into a workout routine.
Do itttttt. You’ll feel so great, I promise! :)

As we speak I am fighting the same exact “I want to workout in the morning but….. don’t I want coffee and breakfast first?” battle. I should be at the gym right now but instead I am sipping coffee and reading some blogs! I WILL go later today though… I WILL!!! ;)
I made the switch to all-natural PB about 4 years ago and haven’t looked back since. It’s just our nation’s sugar addiction that keeps us wanting the Jif-type stuff. Your hubby likes it better because it’s got SUGAR listed as one of its ingredients! His tastes will change though, I have total confidence :) The longer you guys eat the natural stuff, the better it’ll taste.
Sidebar, have you checked out Forever21’s workout clothes? They have the cuuuuutest sports bras in the most fun colors!

Haha I’m glad I’m not alone with that internal breakfast/coffee routine battle! :) And hey, what counts is that you get that workout in, it doesn’t really matter WHEN it happens! You’re so right about the peanut butter. I’m trying to wean Zack off of the sugary kind! And girlfriend, Forever 21’s workout clothes are the besttttt. I am 100% addicted! ;)

I love this idea for a post! I’m too lazy to do it this go around lol but I’ll definitely do it next week. Matt Nathanson’s Bulletproof Weeks is awesome, I just love that whole album. Happy Saturday!
YAY so excited to have you link up next week! Also, if you happen to make a post anytime this week, you can always link it up on any day! :) I definitely need to listen to the rest of the album, because if it’s anything like this song, I know I’ll love it!

I am ALL ABOUT TJ’s peanut butter! It’s so much better than jif, seriously. Hooray for eating better :)

Yay for making the switch to natural peanut butter! Have you tried their natural almond butter? It’s really good too! Oh and Costco carries a great organic natural peanut butter that is a steal! I know how much you guys love Costco ;-)
Yessss! My dad got the Costco peanut butter and I tried it yesterday and LOVE it! We’ll definitely be getting it next Costco trip :)

I love all natural peanut butter and will never buy anything else. I buy the Skippy brand.
I’m a convert to the natural pb now too! :) It’s just so much better!

I haven’t had “normal” natural peanut butter, but I have (AND LOVE!) PB2. It is so amazing, it just takes a little longer to put get out and eat than regular!
Xo, Kelsey
Ooooh I’ve never had PB2, but have heard of it a LOT!! I definitely want to try it out!
xo
If you have a Whole Foods near you try their freshly ground peanut butter. Get the honey roasted! It is the perfect combination of sweet/salty/crunchy!
Oooh I’ve heard of their freshly ground pb! I need to get to a whole foods and try that out!! :) Sounds delicious!
xo
Oh my gosh! I just listened to that song that you posted and I am in LOVE! I have never heard of this guy before??? Love it! His voice is amazing!
Oh and I agree with your hubby! But I still buy the natural stuff. Haven’t tried T.J’s though, so I’ll have to do that! Anyways, thank you so much for posting that song. So beautiful. xo Amber
Awww so glad you love the song, too!! :) I am pretty much listening to it on repeat lately!
xo
That Matt Nathanson song is amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us, lady!
Have you heard his song Wedding Dress?
Yes, we played that song at our wedding :) So pretty
