Friday I’m In Love, Volume 12

Hey, hey! I hope you’re having a great Friday and are getting excited about the weekend. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s World Record Boot Camp attempt!!!

This “Friday I’m In Love” post can be labeled the puppies and babies edition (but keep reading because there are some other more useful faves as well).

5.13puppy

On Monday I got to snuggle with this 11-week old beautiful boy.

5.13puppy2

Look at those eyes!!! He belongs to one of my yoga students and his name is Chief. I’m the crazy dog lady of the studio so I get to see pictures and sometimes even visit my student’s new puppies…and it makes me so happy!

5.13jl

Also making my heart explode are my friend’s babies. Look at this cutie! I met a friend for a walk yesterday and she walked her two {human} girls (two and a half and six months) and I walked my two {fur child} girls. We were quite a site to see.

5.13ja

One more…I went to hang out with a friend whose husband was traveling for work on Wednesday night and got some QT in with this sweet boy.

Too much cuteness in one week!

5.13sushi

I got to sample a new menu addition from our sushi chef at Namastay Kitchen this week. Crab salad and cucumber on the inside and flame seared salmon on the outside. He topped it with this delicious seasoned crunchy cashew mix.

5.13showerstuff

As I’ve shared in previous posts, I’m trying to clean up my beauty routine a bit. Two current faves are Jason Rosewater Body Wash. It smells so good! And last week I picked up a new hair care line at ULTA, Maui Moisture. I selected the Heal + Hydrate line for dry/damaged hair. It’s full of aloe vera, shea butter, macadamia oil and coconut milk and smells amazing. All of the Maui Moisture products are silicone, paraben and sulfate free and priced so affordably at just $8.99 a piece!

5.13rose

Fridays are always a good day to share wine finds, right? They were sampling this Latue Spanish tempranillo rose at Whole Foods yesterday and I was super impressed for the price point. It’s just $8.99 but very light, refreshing and easy to drink. It leads with a strawberry note but isn’t sweet. I picked up three bottles, one for us and two to give away as gifts. Bonus, it’s made with organic grapes.

Did you know Facebook has a feature where you can save posts, links, pictures, etc in your newsfeed? This is SO helpful for me! I feel like I’m forever wanting to read articles later or remember quotes/pics that are posted but can never find them after the fact.

newinstagramlook

And finally, I don’t know if I can say I “love” the new look of Instagram but I definitely like it. I’m always a fan of clean, simple design and the more white space, the better. The new logo is so different though! Have you updated the app yet? What do you guys think?

I’m off to shower and get dressed in real world clothes (yay!). We’re going out for dinner with my trainer and her husband! 🙂

Any Friday faves to share? 

Any shampoo/conditioner combos are you loving at the moment? I’ve always liked to switch mine up every few moths.
