Hey friends!
I hope you all had a great week. I did! It was pretty boring, but I am super excited because my BEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD is home from college and I got to hang out with her yesterday, and I will be hanging out with her tomorrow too! She’s the best and we’ve been friends for 6 years now. It feels like no time, and I love that we can just pick up where we left off each time.
ANYWAYS, I’m actually pretty neutral that it’s Friday! Since every day is a holiday in my life now, and I’m just chillaxin, it’s just another day. But I’m sure everyone else is excited, so I hope you enjoy it! :)
Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d do a five things Friday post because I’m lazy!
1. I GOT NEW RUNNING SHOES! I’ve been having issues with lack of cushioning for longer miles, and my feet started spreading more and my cross country flats were a little bit too narrow to keep me comfortable. So, I got these beauties:
The Merrell Barefoot Arch shoes! These puppies have a zero heel drop, but extra cushioning and arch support than most barefoot shoes. I LOVE THEM. I’ll post more about them, but they have all the benefits that I look for in minimalist shoes such as encouraging a natural midfoot stride and they’re super comfy for long runs.
2. I am obsessed with making toasted oats! I’ll post this recipe, but it’s an easy way to make a granola-ish topping.
3. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE IS BACK! SYTYCD is one of my favourite shows, frrlz. My mom and I always watch it together every summer, and it’s the best. Last night, there were some AMAZING dancers, so I’m excited for the rest of the season! It should be an awesome one. :)
4. Koda is officially a “big puppy” now and has been learning commands like sit, stay, lay down, etc.. He has sit in the bag, and we are working on lay down. He gets it about 3/4 of the time, but I think he’s a fast learner so we should have it down tomorrow hopefully!
He also likes to wrap his leash around him and play with it. And, he’s happy it’s Friday!
5. Apparently, I am working at a Farmer’s Market tomorrow! I love the cashmoneys (thanks Kate for making me feel like that phrase is okay to say in the blog world, cause it’s part of my normal vocab), but I’ll be working ALONE and selling bread. It’ll be interesting!
So, that’s all I have for Friday!
Is there anything you’re excited for the weekend? How was your week? Are you excited it’s Friday?
Chelsea
I’m so glad you say cashmoneys in real life too!!!! ahaha. :-D Have fun makin paper tomorrow, farmer’s market bread is the BEST. I can’t wait to hear about the new shoes too, I’m contemplating getting a similar shoe when I come back to running (might as well just start out with the more minimalist model right?)
Love your new running shoes and yay for working at the farmers market! Hope you have a rockin weekend pretty lady! :)
Thanks, you too!
Nice new shoes! Look forward to hear how they go for you! Hope you have a great time with your bff and making cashmonies!!:)
Thank you!
Love the lavender color! My whole bedroom is painted that color : )
My bedroom used to be painted the same color! It’s sooo nice.
Love the new shoes girl, very cute! Also, that lavender color is very nice too! Have a great time with your bff and making dem cashmonies haha, I <3 that you say that ;)
Haha, I said it in public with my mom once and she stared at me like she wasn’t sure if I was her child. I hope you had a great weekend!
What a fun post. I’m glad you got new shoes-I feel you on needing more cushion. I love my best friend so much. I just got to see her for the first time in ages today too!
That’s so great that you got to see her! I love reunions with people who are important to you.
That’s how I am with my best friend too. We could go months without talking and it would be like nothing even changed!
I think that that’s a sign of a truly awesome friendship and that you’re “meant” for each other! That’s what I tell myself, at least. :)
it makes me so happy you are a so you think you can dance fan, my favorite show ever!
Ah that’s so awesome! I love meeting fellow SYTYCD addicts. :) I want to go see the tour sooo badly.
The toasted oats looks great, and hanging out with friends after not seeing them in a while is always exciting!
That’s so awesome that your bff is back in town! I hope you guys had fun catching up! :D
Also I love the new shoes! Have you ever worn Sauconys or Asics? How do these shoes compare?
I have actually worn both! I currently have Saucony Kinvaras and XC flats, and I used to have Asic Gels.. I think that Saucony caters more towards the new minimalist market and has a lot of innovative technology. I love the Kinvaras which were my transition to minimalist shoes! Asics seems to be sticking to the more traditional market. They’re both AWESOME brands, though! It just depends on what your needs are.
