Tuesday Tidbits | April ’18

Hey there. I’m back at it again. Did you check out yesterday’s post about my favorite finds from Trader Joe’s? Speaking of Trader Joe’s, I’m currently eating a slice of the aforementioned sourdough boule with the vegan kale, cashew and basil pesto + avocado and hemp seeds… just one of my many TJ’s meals.

On to today’s Tuesday Tidbits…

1 // It’s currently storming like mad: thunder, lightening, pour rain, the whole shebang. I’m curled up on the couch with the pup sleeping by side, as I do some work, and ice my shin.

2 // Today’s early morning gym workout included an ugly stumble doing box jumps. Damn, did that hurt. I think this is only my second box jump fail, but this time was much worse than the first scrape circa 2012 — the goose egg is monstrous.

3 // The Beautycounter Mother’s Day gift set launched today, and it’s a good one! The limited time Body Luxuries set includes my favorite citrusy body butter. It smells absolutely divine, and a little goes a long way. I definitely recommend this killer deal for introducing safer skin care to all the mamas in your life.

4 // It’s the beau’s birthday today. Celebrations will be low-key today albeit some homemade brownies and ice cream tonight, but the real surprise arrives this weekend — he has nooo idea!

5 // We’ve been running quite a bit, and by quite a bit I mean two to three times a week consistently. But I am not feeling it at this week. I had the idea that it would be fun for Nick and I to train for a half-marathon together, but then I remembered we’re approaching the hellish humidity that lasts all summer. Strength training and walks are what I’m craving. Got a set of dumbbells? Give this quick Dirty 30 Dumbbell Workout a try!

6 // I’m getting my haircut this Friday, and while I sort of want to cut it off into a lob and lighten it up (like this), this is my first cut with this stylist, so I think it’s better to err on the side of caution and do something minimal like a trim first. Speaking of hair, I am loving the Beautycounter Daily Shampoo & Conditioner (cue video).
