the family that Menchie’s together… (+Friday Faves)
Hi friends! Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is off to a lovely start. We have some fam in town, and it is the best ever. 🙂 I have barre this morning and then I think we’re going to hit the beach!
In standard Friday fashion, here are some favorite things from the week. As always, I love to hear what you’re enjoying too, so please shout it out in the comments section if you’d like! Check in for today’s workout here.
(the family that Menchies together, stays together)
Faves from the week:
This dress from lululemon! AHHHH they have so many cute dresses for spring.
The fabric is like the hug of an angel; such an awesome spring/summer staple.
Latest candle fave.
These are handcrafted in South Carolina, using repurposed wine bottles and soy wax. The scent is GLORIOUS. (I got mine in Arkansas last week, but there are a lot on sale at West Elm.) This one is Cabernet and reminds me of my favorite Fig candle (Henri Bendel). The Pilot tells me instead of buying candles I should just light dollar bills on fire. This is what happens when a candle hoarder and a candle scrooge join hands in matrimony.
New apps to keep runners safe.
Still on the oatmeal cookie smoothie kick.
This beachy hair spray. It’s perfect for holding soft waves with additional sun protection. The scent is super fresh and clean.
The classic never dies.
Flashback to singing in the car with friends (minus the cool costumes).
Have a hoppy (couldn’t help myself) Friday!! <3
Any awesome reads, recipes, fashion-y or beauty finds this week?
xoxo

Friday fave is that I just officially decided to move to SEATTLE to become an RD :). Super excited to join team West Coast!
Happy Friday and Happy Easter!
That is so awesome! Congrats!!
Oh my, I am in LOVE with the Ed Sheeran/Sam Smith mash. Thanks for sharing!!
On a similar note to why home workouts fail, I recently ended my gym membership in order to save money, and I’ve discovered that my dog is absolutely the reason I fail at working out at home! He stops a billion times to use the bathroom on runs, comes to sniff my face while I’m laying on my back for ab work, and crawls underneath me during mountain climbers. Pets are so goofy!
Pets think workout time is for them haha. Bell is the same way 🙂
I read It Was Me All Along by Andie Mitchell in a 3 hr sitting last weekend and it was great. Definitely gave me a lot of feels and inspiration!
I love your candle comment. My husband is the same way. I have a whole cabinet of them…but I need them all! He doesn’t hate candles but we have different smell tastes. He likes fruity candy smelling ones and I always love the fall and winter scents.
I love the fall and winter scents, too.
Definitely need to check out that books- I’ve heard so many great things about it
Happy Friday 🙂
Love that dress on you, and the color is perfect! Livi is cute as always!
Thank you! Hope you have a happy Friday!
Ahh I need to check out some of the dresses from Lulu, I think it would be a good addition to my job wardrobe without me having to go straight Ann Taylor!
I am definitely going to have to start trying oatmeal in my smoothies. I have a little bit of a surplus going on since I always order extra oats to meet the free shipping minimum on Vitacost and iHerb… 🙂
Have a great weekend!!
omg… the Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith mashup. I can’t. So good!
I NEED to checkout Lulu. I’m desperate for new clothes. I have a whole walk-in closet full of them, but I never want to wear any of them. I was just checking out a few of their shorts. BTW – this article was amazing this week. http://www.liftingrevolution.com/what-it-means-to-live-your-fitness-7-ways-to-do-it/
I want to live by a beach! Happy Friday! Enjoy your Easter!
I didn’t even know lulu sold dresses! Where have I been?!?
That mashup up was amazing…THOSE VOICES!!!! I just heard a similar Sam Smith mashup yesterday that my cousin did with his girlfriend:

I’m loving this trend right now!
those lululemon dresses really are so cute. i saw them when i popped into my local store recently.
Your fro yo looks amazing! Loving the links!
Tell the pilot that dollar bills can ‘t smell as good as that candle-I know because I was with her when she picked it out! LOL! Love, nana arkansas

Hi Gina! Happy Friday! I haven’t had Menchie’s in far too long. In fact, I don’t think there is one nearby me, which is sad, sad, sad. This weekend, I’ll be learning new BODYPUMP and BODYATTACK to debut and launch on Monday — so I better get to it. And what am I loving this week? Green smoothies with mango in them, Amy Poehler’s new book “Yes Please” and a loose white tee I bought from Athleta. Loving your Lulu dress too! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I love candles that smell like wine, mostly because I think they smell like some delicious fruit punch or something! I’m really loving some raw honey in protein smoothies. It gives this really subtle sweetness and it’s totally addictive. Also, frozen yogurt is the best.
Oh and also–have you seen the new Coach Swagger purse? I’m obsessed with the perwinkle color, though the white and black ones are adorable too. Why must they be so pricey!?!
no! off to google…
That lulu dress on you looks amazing!!!! 🙂 If you make any of the kombucha cocktails please share on the blog <3 HOPPY EASTER!
thank you! hoppy easter to you too!
I saw that dress online that you tried on — did you buy it? Do you think it’s too long?
That color is great on you, btw!
i did. i think it is long, but they hem in store for free so i might get it hemmed
what i’m loving this week:
– Justin’s vanilla almond butter- i keep putting it on everything
– Ali’s new cookbook from inspiralized.com
-Scott Michael Foster on the abc show Chasing life.
– Everything Crossfit- just bout my weekend tickets to the Regional competition in San diego coming up in May. I CANT WAIT.
North County? I grew up on that beach! 🙂
“The fabric is like the hug of an angel” Haha… your descriptions crack me up!
ahhh your girl is growing up so quickly.
I loved the easter pics too.

Beauty finds. Purchased this Olivia Garden brush for my daughter and I at Ulta. She has thick wavy hair that tangles easily and this brush has been FANTASTIC! Highly recommend! http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10931179
