Weekly Faves: Road Trips, Turbo Shots, Yoga Lessons and More

[source]

Hello ladies! I had SUCH a busy week – filled with starting a new job, attending several events, picnic-ing and going out with the girls last night – that I totally forgot to post my weekly Friday Faves post. But don’t you worry: it’s here (even if it is a day late).

Road trips: I’m going on a road trip with The Boy to drive his grandparents car from FL back to NY. Yes, we are flying down to Florida, staying a few days and then road-tripping all the way back up the East coast. Some people hate long, drawn-out car rides. But I personally love them. I love making mixed CDs. I love asking random questions, and playing silly car ride games. I love rolling the windows down and running my hands through the breeze. I love singing…even though I have no tone AT ALL. I love checking out the scenery and stopping a random restaurants and hotels along the way. Road trips are the absolute greatest…I’m getting like a giddy school girl already just thinking about it!

My Yoga Teacher: No, I don’t have a crush on my yoga teacher. But I do love some of the things he said in class today, particularly this: “Yoga is an exercise for the mind and living in the moment. Putting your leg behind your head and a getting a hot body for the beach is not the purpose. But great if those things happen too as an extra.” Seriously, I want this dude to be my mentor.

Turbo Shot: I got a turbo shot in my coffee today, and let’s just say I’m on fireeeeee (in a good way)! Good thing, because I’m working an event all afternoon and need to be on so hopefully this turbo shot will keep me there.

Light Weight: I was always a light weight, but lately I’m light weight times 1,000. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I run all the time, and rarely go out for drinks anymore. I drink the occasional glass of wine and cocktail with dinner, but going out balls to the walls? Not lately. Well last night I went out with the girls and Holy crap… I have become the definition of light weight. And no, I am not complaining in the least bit. I love the fact that I am a cheap date…and only had to spend $6.50 on myself last night. Score. My wallet loves it too.

Udi’s Gluten Free Bagels: Due to my sensitivity to gluten, I haven’t enjoyed a bagel in years. Well, the other day my boyfriend’s parents bought me a bag-full of gluten free goodies, including Udi’s Gluten Free bagels. I’ve had some of their other products before including their gluten free blueberry muffins, but I had yet to try their bagels. I can’t explain the joy I felt the other day when I bit into a pizza bagel for dinner. Oh, the glory.

What are you 100% in love with this week? I’d love to hear!
