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: “Brave” by Sara Bareilles. It’s so my jam right now, you guys. It’s fun, makes me want to dance, makes me feel fearless, the message is so positive and awesome, and yeah. I just really like it, can you tell?
Happiness: I literally was brought to tears a few times in the past few weeks from the sweetness of people. I got a few incredibly kind and uplifting emails from readers (hi!) that were literally answers to prayers! I was feeling really low and insecure for whatever reasons, and I was sent some things that just were exactly what I needed to read. So. Thank you for that! And thank you all of you that read my little blog! It’s nice to feel loved.
Clothing: My new running shoes! :) They’re Nike Flex from Kohl’s and I am in looooove (thanks Dad!) They are super lightweight and so comfortable, and yeah, it helps that they’re cute too. The most important part, right?
Snack: Larabar. OMG where have I been and why have I not had these before?! We picked up a few at the store and I am hoooooked. The ingredients? Dates, peanuts, sea salt. That’s it. No gluten, no dairy, no GMO, no soy. Heck to the yes. I only wish I’d known these were so delicious earlier, but I’m pretty much done with any other kind of bar now. This is the motherload.
Workout: Running! Zack and I have finally started running “regularly,” meaning we do it pretty much every other day this past week, and it’s pretty awesome. I’m so excited to start slowwwlyyyy upping the mileage! I know, baby steps, so I’m being patient and taking it all in stride! (ha ha haaaa, see what I did there?)

Wanna link up with some things you’re loving? Just add your link below! :) Please link back to me in your post, too!
Love your running shoes!! Adorbs. Also, I was unaware of the Larabar, til now, I will have to pick some up today. Yay for running with our men! You guys are smart to take it one mile at a time! ;) (So punny!) Also, so glad your readers are encouraging! Your strength and positive outlook on life have blessed my heart often. Love that you are willing to share your heart and life on this small space! I am gonna check out that Brave song and I may add it to my running playlist…
You must try out the Larabar! SO yummy!! :) And I am such a sucker for puns, I couldn’t let that one go! You are seriously the sweetest, too. Thank you for YOUR encouraging words!! Means so much to me. As for the song, it’s a PERFECT running song! Very upbeat and energetic!

Love your neon outfit!! Ugh and your shoes? Too cute :) Yay! So happy you tired the Larabars, they are too good aren’t they?? Have you tried the cookie dough flavor???? If not, you should :)
Thanks Chelsea!! And OMG I need to try the cookie dough flavor! I got peanut butter cookie (which I tried and love!) and then I also got chocolate pb cookie and apple pie, both of which I haven’t tried yet. I know I’ll be getting more of these!

LOVE “Brave”!!! Sounds like you’re really kicking ass with running, I started slow too years ago. It’s important to remember why you run, not for mileage or calories but because you enjoy it. Run without your watch some days! It’s important not to burn yourself out or get down on yourself for not improving quick enough, etc. !
That is SUCH good advice! It’s easy to get caught up in the technical and keep track of mileage/pace/calories blah blah blah, but I love what you said and definitely will be going sans watch some days! :)

Larabars are one of our favorite snacks! Those are the best healthy snacks :)
Agreed!! They are definitely my new favourite snack, too!

Aren’t new running shoes the best!? I got measured for new ones a few months ago and they are the best.
YES! New running shoes are the bestttt! I can already see myself building up quite the collection! ;)

Those shoes! Loving them! I think I have similar ones with grey and pink in them! I barely ever wear them, so maybe I am wrong hahaha.
Aren’t they the cutest?! I’m so obsessed! haha

I loooove Sara Bareilles! I’ve seen her live 3x now – she’s incredible!
