Friday From My iPhone

Happiest of Fridays!

First, can I just say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you for being so supportive and awesome during my Whole30? I know many of you are waiting for my program recap and I promise it is coming on Monday. The most important thing is that my eyes are clear for the first time in 2 years so for that I am so, so, so grateful.

I’m going to end the week on a lighter note and share some shots from my iPhone.

Okay, first. Let’s talk about iPhones. I just got the 6S Plus and it is buggy! Don’t get me wrong, I love the phone (the display and camera are awesome!) but I’m having hard time with a few things…

  1. The screen gets stuck in horizontal orientation and will not switch no matter how much shaking and tapping I do. (And I have ensured that I have standard zoom and unlocked the screen rotation.)
  2. The thumb unlock is temperamental. (Maybe I need to redo the scan?)
  3. While I was in Florida it shut off and wouldn’t turn back on without a hard restart.

Given that I’ve only had the phone for two weeks, I’m a little nervous! Anyone else had issues?

(Side note: please ignore the 8,000+ gmail notifications. I’m bad but I’m not that bad. That account has pretty much turned to junk.)

Four friend dates this week, two of which involved babies. I am in the midst of a major connection phase right now on all fronts but friends and family are leading the charge.

I checked out the new Sunflour location in Charlotte and enjoyed a hot cup of mint tea while I knocked out our email newsletter for the yoga studio before meeting another friend for lunch.

CPR, first aid, AED and oxygen recertification at the Y. Every.Single.Year. They are so strict on their standards but every time I do it I feel so grateful to have the knowledge and skills. Even simulating the skills gives me chills when I think about possibly having to do it in real life.

I was featured in a local magazine as part of a wellness series for the new year. I shared meal ideas and a video of my popular 1,000 rep home workout so be sure to check it out. I’m wearing the most fierce “Lion Tights” from The Track & Field Store Charlotte. They are equal parts functional and fashionable!

One of my readers emailed me to let me know she was adopting an 8-year-old golden from a rescue and asked for advice of things like food, toys, grooming, etc. I got crazy excited and asked her to send pics. Look how happy this sweet boy is in his new home!

Another reader spotted my book in Whole Foods in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. I lived there for a year after college so pretty awesome to have it being sold there!
