Friday Favorites Round-Up




TGIF everyone!!! This has been a pretty eventful week which means I’m ready for a relaxing weekend! I have a packed list of favorites this week so of course I’m linking up with doll face Amanda to share them! 





Favorite Song

After hearing acontestants renditionof this song on The Voice, I have had it on a loop!! I hope I’m not the last to the party on this one (it came out in 2013), but I love it! 

Favorite Workout

Monday night I was invited by Pact to come out to their last Pilates Bootcamp in the park. It was a fun event with over 200 women in attendance and I even got to see Christinawhich always makes me happy! Pact is in app in which you commit to making fitness goals by putting money on the fact that you will meet your goals. If you don’t the collective pot goes to the people that have made their goals. You can have a fitness, food or veggie pact! 92% of people on the app actually meet their goals…interesting concept!! Would you workout harder or eat better knowing you could win/lose money?





Favorite Recipe

{via}


Would it be cheating to say that my favorite recipe of the week was the one I made on Sunday?! Probably, right!? Since I’m all about variety we also made this Chili recipe on Monday night and it was delicious and perfect since we both got leftovers for lunch!! 





Favorite Quote


This one might seem a little odd, but I actually have an entire board dedicated to Quotes on Pinterest!! They are the perfect little reminders to have on hand and when Stephanie from Letters from Rita reached out to create a custom design for me – it was hard choosing a favorite! How pretty is her writing?! I so wish I had that talent!! I’m in love with the print and can’t wait to frame it – trying to figure out a perfect little spot! 

Favorite Look

I normally go for celebrities for my favorite look – but when I saw this outfit that Rachel from Pink Peonies posted yesterday, I could help but love it!! It’s so girly and chic – the shoes matching the bag in the most perfect way! This one was a close second!! 

 Favorite Links

+ Three ways to incorporate flowers into your wedding decor

+ 31 Dog reactionsto your everyday occurrences – this is hilarious! 

+ Food Styling and Photography – how to take the perfect picture 

+ Emily Maynard shared pictures from her wedding as well as a perfect wedding video – I totally sobbed! 

Thank you all so much for reading and hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

    That Pilates in the Park event sounds like so much fun! I think putting money on my fitness goals would definitely motivate me!

    That chili looks so good, and I love recipes that give you leftovers! Cooking once for two meals is a win in my book!

    Oh my gosh, I adore that outfit, so pretty!

    Have a lovely weekend!

    Pink Peonies always looks awesome! She and her sister make me sick! That chili looks yummy! I'll have to check out that Pact app. If losing money doesn't make me work out then I have a real problem!

    Cannot wait to see the dog reactions post – you know I love me some fur babies! Getting paid to workout is probably the only way I'd actually do it hah on a regular basis. Such an interesting concept for sure! Happy weekend πŸ™‚

    That Pilates event looks SO great! I love things like that, such great community πŸ™‚ and Sweater Weather is THE best song. At least for this time of year. Glad you're on board! Have an awesome weekend! xo

    Omg…. I'm crying in my office. I just watched that wedding video and looked at all of her pics. I watched both of her Bachelor seasons and just loved her. That was the most perfect wedding ever!!!!

    I love that print and the quote. I totally wish I could write like that. I almost went to the Pact event- looks like I should have. I am going to have to download the app!

    I love the pilates in the park!! It looks like a huge crowd- great for motivation and morale. That is great that there is app too and a community to share in. A study showed that money is the biggest motivator for weight loss and other health related goals- who doesn't love money? Or hate losing their money!

    And the quote about dreams not being big enough??!!! Wow! That is absolutely amazing. All I need to get going is about $100-$150k and that kind of money is scary.
