5 on Friday

You know when you have all of those random thoughts in your head and you just need to get them out?

I am certain that is where 5 on Friday posts derived from.

1.  NYX Butter Gloss Lip Gloss

I have really been into bright lip glosses and lip sticks lately.

But these Butter Glosses from NYX are really my favorite.

They are thick, bright and stay on forever.

Not too mention the colors are fantastic and only $5.

So far I have Peaches and Cream and Red Velvet (how fun are those names?)

2.  Fashion Veggie

My friend Molly started a blog recently and it is all sorts of fashion fabulousness. 

Fashion Veggie is equal parts doggie loving, eco friendly fashion and daily outfit inspirations.

So basically a lot of things I really love rolled into one.

Not too mention Molly is one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet.

I say you check her out asap! 

I would follow her instagram too if I were you!

3.  Mileage 

I am finally able to get some mileage conquered with running again.  (Knock on wood) I have had minimal pain while running and I am really hoping that continues.  I am slowly trying to build back up to where I was.  It has (and is) a slow process but boy does it feel good to be back out there!

Seeing Floyd's face in the window when I come home doesn't hurt either.

4.  Spring Styles

Is it me or is there SO much cute stuff out right now?

My #lillyfortarget stuff arrived and I am in love.

Nordstrom (per usual) is killing it, Loft has the cutest patterned shorts (on sale!), Old Navy has some fantastic dresses (also on sale!) and just about everywhere else I turn has cute stuff too!

My closet doesn't hate it.  Though my wallet does...

5.  Snackin

 Because I can't have sugar, evening snacks are somewhere I really struggle.

Not having ice cream or froyo after dinner in the Spring/Summer is HARD.

Recently I have been working up my own sweet snack before bed.  It is nowhere like ice cream but it is mostly fitting the bill.  Although I would give A LOT (and I mean a lot) of money to be able to eat a DQ Blizzard.

Any fruit, granola and honey...sweet and filling! 

I could seriously eat an entire pineapple every day.

5 on Friday

And now for five things that sort of have to do with the number 5 on a Friday.

1.  I reached my goal of running 500 miles this year earlier this week...2 months ahead of schedule!

I think this calls for some Lulu or Lorna Jane...you know, more running gear so I can run more because I am nuts! 

Honestly I was scared I was not going to be able to reach this goal.  It felt awesome to cross this one off our list! 

2.  I have about 50% of our Christmas shopping done and it is SUCH a good feeling.  It is my plan to continue to knock more out and avoid the Christmas crazy rush. 

3.  Mister and I carved pumpkins with some friends the other night.  Can you guess which one is mine?  There were 5 pumpkins and 1 cantaloupe carved - the cantaloupe was a very cool twist on traditional carving. 

4.  At 5 years old, Floyd's Halloween costume for this year may be my favorite of all time.  I can NOT wait to debut it.  Make sure to keep an eye on instagram for the big reveal. 

5.  50+ the approximate number (probably more!) of trick or treaters we will have tonight,

Happy Halloween! 

Five on Friday...

....with some Floyd thrown in

1.  Erin mentioned it yesterday, but Vanderpump Rules has really taken me hostage.  For some reason I avoided it for a while but no more!! I have been sucked in while I work and and I am full on Bravo obsessed with it.  I haven't seen the finale yet, so DON'T tell me what all that raucous is about.

2.  Floyd.
Honestly.

This went on for a good 20 seconds.  Obviously long enough for me to snap a few pictures and then physically pull him out. The real kicker is that there wasn't even any trash in there.  I had just taken the bag out.  And mister smartypants has figured out that if he knocks the trash can over the lock pops open.  And yes, we have a locking trash can because that hound nose knows no bounds.

Floyd's grandma said I framed him and that he would never do this on his own.
Who do you believe?

3.  Scandal.

Again, why was I so late to jump on the bandwagon?!  

I'm not sure but I want to come back in my next life as Olivia Pope. 
Or at least own one of those wine glasses if they EVER come back in stock.
And every coat she's ever worn.
And #4 on this list and this entire list.

4. Online shopping.
And I don't mean, 'oh that shirt is cute, I need it.' (thank you #nospendfebruary)
I'm talking, I couldn't find the face wash I wanted at Ulta so I ordered it from Amazon.
Is that bad?
We also just ordered Floyd's food on Amazon and subscriped for it to be delivered every two months.
(Thanks to Casey for that tip!)
I mean, I'm saving gas money not driving to PetSmart, right?
Plus coupled with Ebates, I am basically getting paid to shop.
Are you using Ebates? It's so genius.

5. Hot tea
I have been beyond obsessed with hot tea lately.
Every day after lunch I have a cup full.
Does this make me an old lady?
I love the warmth and deliciousness of it.
