Weekly Round Up: Rue Edition

Happpppy Fridaayyyy!

Hello, hello, it's the best day of the week! I hope you all had a great week.

As of now, I am officially slacking in the workout routine department. My excuse is M being home. A terrible excuse I know. I'm going to start setting weekly goals which seem a little more manageable and will hopefully help keep me on track.

My job is going better than ever, I officially make more and work less at a bar/restaurant than I did at my 7:30-5 salaried job. Unbelievable, I know. Especially considering I work in a "small town" bar. It is making me feel content with the decision to quit my job and do something less stressful and more enjoyable though.

Baby Rouche is officially called Rue now. Rouche just wasn't sticking with me and it wasn't sticking with her either so she now responds and recognizes Rue. She is getting so big! Of course she is still ~10lbs but to me she has grown so much. Here are a few pictures to update you...

Really upset about her bath

Then there is this kid who I kind of like who decided to come back to Minnesota for a bit...

So happy to have M home

:)

For my birthday I picked up some new lipstick by MAC called Girl About Town and I absolutely love it! I've been looking for a lipstick that makes a statement but is still flattering and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. I'll post pictures of me wearing it soon.

I don't have much else to share with you. Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekly Round Up: Blog Lovin

Sharing great finds with others is one of my favorite things to do. The second I find a great product or new restaurant I'm on the phone with friends telling them about it or writing a review on my blog. This weekly round up is dedicated to blogs I love lately or posts with some great finds.
#1- Cupcakes and Cashmere is a no brainer and if you haven't been regularly checking Emily blog already, then shame on you. I always find great products on her Five Things posts that she does every Friday and today I love her post about honeymoon beauty essentials. Check it out.

#2- I recently won a giveway that Life, Love and the Pursuit of Shoes which makes me love her site even more. She is always on the hunt for great shoe finds and usually has a great array from Christian Louboutin's to great finds at Kohl's.

#3- My girlfriend and I have been making batch after batch of A Health Foodie's green machine smoothie for our cleanse this week and it is amazing! Check out the recipe and other great ones to try.

Have a great day sharing the love!

If You Can't Handle the Heat, Stay Outta the Kitchen

Loves,
As of current bestie and I are continuing our workout challange and also indulging in a healthy diet including but not limited to a lean mean green smoothie, kale chips (why didn't anyone tell me cooking them makes the house smell like farts??), and a few other goodies. Ah, a nice long week of girl time before M is back in town, just what I needed. I'm really excited to post photos and recipes of all the great stuff we're whipping up. Oh yeah, I made crepes on Sunday and they were amaze-balls. Never thought they would be so easy but I'm really excited to make them for M when he gets home.

Tonight we're dying Easter eggs with her Granny; side track, it's friggin Easter on Saturday already?! I'm excited because Mandy's family has always been an extension of my family and vice versa so this extra Granny time will make me happy. We'll also be working out tonight and taking all of our dogs on a walk.

In other news, M is stranded in Malta because the French are being losers with some airline strike of sorts. Ridiculous. Among that a few other snafus (literal meaning: a badly confused or ridiculously muddled situation) this post from People I Want to Punch in the Throat makes me really happy. Reading about other people being pissed off and reading a bunch of f-bombs really calms my nerves.

One piece of GREAT news is that I'm finally getting things for M's birthday going. It's all a surprise and of course I can't tell you what it is quite yet because he occasionally checks in on the ole blog so you'll just have to wait but since last year's gift is one that I don't want to buy him to we have a place of our own, I want to go big this year and give something he deserves. He treats me to a lot of great things so I think it's time to pay it forward and show him some love, ya know?

One more great piece of news is that reservations for my birthday in less than 2 weeks are reserved and I'm ready to celebrate the day, I know 24 is no big deal but this is my first birthday in a few years that I'll be in MN and able to celebrate with my girlfriends...stoked!

Okay I'm out-y. Busy night of fun and games ahead. Have a great Monday!

Love&Luck
