1. I’ve been taking a bit of a break from yoga while doing a workout boot camp thorough work. I finally started going to classes again this week and am so happy to be back. I also have loved the new workouts that I’ve been learning through the program though so I’ll have to figure out how to do both. 🧘‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ I just ordered a set of resistance bands on Amazon so that I can continue to do the boot camp workouts at home. And my favorite hot yoga towels are on sale!
2. I am so excited that it is springtime! I’ve been researching lots of new salad recipes and found a few great ones from fellow bloggers: Burrata & Arugula Salad, Spring Berry Salad, and this Simple Spring Salad.
3. I love this roundup of funny marriage tweets.
4. We are headed to NYC next weekend for a quick trip/wedding. And we are looking for good brunch spots for a small group of friends. So I’ve been checking out fellow blogger posts from their adventures to get inspired (1), (2), (3).
5. I’ve been going to lots of Yelp Fit Club events lately and am really loving all of the different unique workouts. Most recently I took a “Pound” class which is a dance type workout that uses slightly weighted drumsticks. It was super fun!

1. I’m getting married TOMORROW! The last couple of weeks have been a scramble to get everything in place but I’m so glad it’s all finally here and happening! Very excited about my wedding dress because my mother made it(!!) and accessorizing with these shoes in pink and a jacket very similar to this one.

   

2. Totally obsessed with Adventurous Kate’s review of visiting Antarctica. I have definitely been doing a little bit of wanderlusty research into Quark Expeditions… it is for sure on my Bucket List.
3. My fiancé (I almost can’t use that word anymore!) teases me constantly about loving throwing things away. I’m not a minimalist by any stretch of the word, but I do find a certain sense of comfort in decluttering and truly believe that there’s a place for everything (and everything should be in its place!). Mrs. Frugalwoods did an incredibly elegant job of espousing on The Power of Constraint and what that can mean when it comes to constraining money, constraining things, and constraining time.
4. I. Was. Sobbing. Laughing so hard while reading this The Cut post about homemade peeps.
5. I found J. Money‘s post (and the comments section!) re: some new savings targets he heard about pretty interesting. He’s definitely an aggressive saver and included as one of the many blogs that I follow for inspiration, but sometimes his (/their) net worths feel totally unreachable and unrealistic for where I’m at. These more attainable goals shed some light on figuring out other paths!
