WORKOUT
Yoga Tone. I’m addicted to taking a specific instructor’s class, which was SO difficult yesterday… that I’m going back for more tonight! (Seriously, literally starting the class with three minutes of elephant, moving into three straight minutes of plank… moving on. WHAT?!)
WHAT (BLOGS) I’M LOVING THIS WEEK
If you can’t tell, I’m obsessed with you, my reader friends. Whether you’re in Chicago, LA, Minneapolis, or Norway, you guys have inspired and brightened my day since my (embarrassing) post 1.
Though I am also hugely inspired by my fellow bloggers! Especially moving into this transition phase, I definitely have some idols and partners in my midst. So, for your reading pleasure, here are 5 of mu favorite blogs (and bloggers) that I’m loving this week!
1) Keira at A Pretty Penny…
But, I mean, really. Get.Cuter. (You can’t. Scout’s Honor.) Keira is the rowdy writer of “A Pretty Penny,” which follows her classic, extremely tasteful sense of style, as well as the adventures ongoing in the flower shopper she owns alongside her husband.

2) Julie at Peanut Butter Fingers
I originally heard about Julie’s blog three years ago from friends in Cincinnati, and it just so happens that I randomly went to the same high school as her! (long time reader… not a creeper. promise.) Her blog has fantastic workouts, workout playlists, and insane recipes. Simple to make and healthy?! Tell me more…

This little bitty is more of an online magazine than a traditional blog. I look forward to seeing it in my inbox because I know that it will be an extremely fun read that will provide great ideas to apply to my daily life! While I could write more about this wonderful blog, I think that they describe the “matchbook girl” much better than I ever could…

4) Jordyn at MY GOODNESS
Jordyn is a super sweet, relatively new blogger, who is off to an unreal start! I’m obsessed with her inspirational HIIT posts, and her posts about her adorable dogs. Not kidding. Her dogs are cuter than baby piglets in sweaters. It’s difficult to beat baby piglets in sweaters.

5) Carrie at Constructing Carrie
Carrie is likely the most motivational person in the entire world. Each of her posts focuses on motivating herself and her readers to become “better” – in whatever way they define that term – each day!
