What is up? It is FRIDAY again, thank the Lord. After returning to work from a glorious Italian vacation I could not be happier that it is alllllmost the weekend. I'm sharing some of my favorite things in Volume 2 of my Friday Favorites today! Did you see Volume 1? You can read it here ! If you already saw it, did you try out any of my faves? I'd love to hear more about anything you loved, too!!!! Comment on this post or on social media, I wanna know! Ok... back to it. Here are my Friday Favorites for this week! 1. LEKFIT - real talk. I've been trying to get more consistent with my workouts. This started before vacation with trying to get back into my running and some of my favorite at-home workout videos. But as I tried to do them, I felt bored. Like I had done them all before (because I had!). I needed something NEW to motivate me. I follow Busy Phillips on IG and this girl loves her LEKFIT so I decided to look into it. Basically, this chic dancer babe has put t...

Our flight was in and out of Rome, so our first step after landing was getting on the train and taking the trip north east. We grabbed caffe and were on our way.

With house wine by the liter and a delicious menu, our first dinner was quite a success. Our hotel had a great free breakfast spread and once I had a little caffe and food, I ...

I keep thinking it is still February. Maybe it is because we continue to be pummeled in the North East by terrible snow storms, or maybe it is because it is 6:00AM and I haven't had my coffee yet. Either way, here I am. I've decided I want to do a consistent (as possible) feature on the blog of things that were my favorite from the current week. Friday - Friday. Things that I've experienced, maybe eaten, read, heard, seen. So here we go! Hope you like them, too <3 Friday Favorites // Week of March 9, 2018 1. The Goal Digger Podcast - with Jenna Kutcher Maybe it is because I've got some sort of wild, pent up spirit inside of me, or maybe I just like the calm yet enthusiastic demeanor of the show's host, but The Goal Digger Podcast has been a favorite of mine for a while and I needed to share that with others because it is so worth a listen. It has been happening for quite some time now, so there are plennnnty of episodes to catch up on. There are gu...
