Welcome to my Saturday series! Each weekend I will share my favourites from the previous week. Song, clothes, verse, movie, food, book, stores, whatever. If I have been loving it, I’ll share it here! Hope you guys enjoy! (See last week’s post HERE.)
Song: “My Fault” by Imagine Dragons. Yes. Click play below and tell me how much you love it, too.
Workout: Because exercise > therapy. Tone It Up Thailand Tush. Yes, it’s just as amazing as it sounds. Do it three times and get back to me at how hard/empowering/awesome it was.
Quote: (This is from a conversation between my friend and I) Me: “You know what Justin Bieber says.” Stephanie: “What?” Me: “Never say never.”
Food: Fruit. I have literally been eating so much fruit this week, it’s ridiculous. Watermelon, strawberries and bananas have been consumed by the bushel (is that a thing?) and I could not be happier about it.
Recipe: Egg white oatmeal. I was sceptical at first, but after the intial few bites was sold. I love it. You just make oatmeal as usual, on the stove, and pour in two egg whites after the oatmeal has been cooking for about 8 minutes. Then add cinnamon and fruit on top (I added strawberries, and, YUM) and devour! It’s so packed with protein and general yumminess. I’m hooked.
Accessory: That headband I’m wearing up there. I just got it in the mail yesterday and am already obsessed. It is the cutest thing ever and the lace band is my faaaaave. Love it. Check out miss Paige’s shop Pink Lemonade, for more cute stuff! :)
Purchase: Our Ninja blender. We finally used the last of our Macy’s registry money (I know, I know) and holy all that is amazing! It is the most perfect blender I have ever used. How did I even make smoothies before having this?! I loves it so. It is my new favourite thing. Ever.
Do you own a Ninja or anything equivalent?
What’s your favourite fruit?
What have you been loving this week?
Happy June 1st! :)

Are you just doing the youtube video workout? Or do you have separate DVD’s?
I follow the weekly schedule on Toneitup.com which includes cardio every day (run or bike, for example) and usually a youtube video or two also. I don’t own the DVD’s but definitely am planning on becoming a member sometime! :) Plus, I occasionally will do my Jillian DVD’s for fun!

Ummmm egg white oatmeal?? Sounds amazing! I’ll have to make it!
I’m also curious, like Diana, if you just do the youtube video or if there are DVDs? It looks great! I just worked my lower body and butt yesterday so I’ll definitely try the Thailand Tush in a few days! :) Gotta give the booty a break.
YES try it! It’s so fluffy and delish! I follow the tonitup.com weekly schedule, which includes cardio like running or biking and also youtube videos (they have a lot!) I don’t own the DVD’s yet, but I’m hoping to sometime soon! They’re a part of the membership, and I’m not yet a member, so you know. But the Youtube videos are awesome! I do my own videos sometime too like Jillian and whatnot. :) And yeah, the video is pretty intense, so give yo’ booty a break first ;)

I have never heard of egg white oatmeal, but talk about protein!! And I love your new headband…and the drink in your hand. Yum. :)
Yeah, I hadn’t heard of it either until last week! It’s PACKED with protein and is so delicious! Hehe the drink was an important part of the weekend, for sure ;)

My nails are the SAME right now!
I’m laughing at the Macy’s purchase, I’m going there today to use up some of our cards that we got from our wedding a while ago.
I’ve been loving all the roses and flowers that have been popping up everywhere around here in Washington. It’s been lovely!
Have a great weekend!
Katie
Whaaaat?! TWINSIES! :) And yeah, I can’t believe it took us this long to finally use up our Macys gift cards!! Ridiculous, but awesome since we got the best blender everrr haha

I am a bit skeptical about that oatmeal…but I think I need to try it!!!! Seriously. ANd I love my ninja!! I use it all the time!! The rest of my kitchen gets neglected. it’s sad.
Haha I was skeptical too, but it’s so good!! :) YAY for the Ninja!

ADORABLE headband! You have every right to be obsessed!
Happy weekend, sweet Katie!
Right?! I love it! :)

We’ve been eating tons of fruit at our house too! It must be the warm weather. Hehe.
I love the headband! I just recently started getting some headbands that are similar, but I can’t decide if it looks strange on my head or not haha!
Yes, warm weather always makes me consume even more fruit than usual! Nothing tastes better :) Aww I’m sure it looks great on you!

I have just found your blog and it is AWESOME!
Can’t wait to put this on my blog reading list and become a regular :-)
Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
Aww you are so sweet!!! Thanks for making my day :) Glad you found me, girl!

I LOVE this idea! Do you mind if I copy? And one more question….(: How do you put a song on your post like that?
Thank you ahead of time! I am a huge fan of your blog!

Aw that’s so sweet of you! I’m actually planning on making this a link-up, so of course you can copy, and then you’ll be able to link up with me!! :) It’s going to start in a few weeks (After I get back from vacay!) so keep an eye out for that!! Also, for the song, just go to grooveshark.com and it’s super easy from there! :)

You welcome! And thank you very much. (:
Oh you are SO cute! We got a ninja for Christmas and my hubs was SO excited! As soon as we unwrapped it he took it in the kitchen and blended up some ice to see if it actually looked like snow. (Have you heard that before? The ninja is supposed to blend ice as fine as snow, ha ha!) Anyway, we love our ninja!
I love Imagine Dragons! Fun side note, my best friend in my small town totally dated the lead singer before Imagine Dragon blew up!
Courtney, YOU are so cute!! I loooove the Ninja! So funny you say that, because my hubs had the SAME reaction: immediately upon opening it, he had to blend something! haha SO cool that your best friend dated him!! I love them :)

Do you think you’ll become a tone it up member? I’ve been thinking about it for awhile, but I’m not sure since its kinda expensive
YES, I definitely will! I’ve heard from lots of people that it is WORTH the money, so I know one day I will splurge and get it, or mayyyybe even for my bday or something like that! :)

Thanks for the great music. You might like Lou Doillon’s “Devil or Angel”
