Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. I know first hand that sometimes the work week can get kinda stressful (OK, reeallllyyyyy stressful), so let’s take a moment of silence to just breathe. Ahhhh… doesn’t that feel a little better? OK, enough of my corniness, but in all seriousness we need to remember to not take life too seriously and take little moments to just breathe in & out. Well, since it’s Friday you know what that means…time for my Friday favorites. Here goes:

The Stick: This bad boy saved me after my 13.1-mile half marathon on Sunday. In addition to reducing muscle soreness & stiffness (which I had plenty of), it also increases flexibility, improves strength, nurtures your muscles and speeds up recovery time. I recommend all of you ladies who run often to invest in one of these. You can purchase one for just $27.45 on Amazon.com now!

Muenster Cheese: Ever since I ate a Chicken & Muenster cheese sandwich at Serendipity in New York City, I have been daydreaming about muenster. I just HAD to pick some up at Trader Joe’s today to add to my wraps, melt on top of whole grain bread and even eat alone – so DELISH.

Flowers in My Hair: Who knew what a simple headband or flower on the side of your hair could add so much POP to a plain outfit? I’ve never gotten more compliments than when I pull the whole flower-in-the-hair look. I can’t wait ’til it gets warmer when I can actually put real flowers in my hair however.

Cash: While my new barista job stresses me out most of the time, I have to be honest: the tips are pretty darn nice. I’m one of those girls who never carries cash on me, so it’s nice to have a wallet filled with singles for once. ; )

What are your faves this week?
