Hey guys. Time for another monthly slice into my life and all the little things I am loving this month. Be sure to check out past posts to catch up on other awesome finds I wrote about.

Picking Up the Pace –
I am slowly seeing improvements in my half marathon time and was able to run my most recent half almost 10 seconds per mile faster than I did the month before. Baby steps.
I finished with a 2:10:11 official time, cannot wait to chop a dozen seconds off that to go below 2:10.
Spiralizing-
My best buddy bought me the Paderno Three Blade Spiralizer as a gift and I LOVE it. I am a huge fruit fiend, but struggle to fit veggies into my diet – zoodles have been a savor.
A Warm Cup of Tea at Night –
This Tangerine Orange Zinger is delicious with the perfect pop of flavor, but no caffeine – that way I can drink it while I am relaxing before bed and it won’t keep me up.
Built in Bling –
For years I hid behind big t-shirts in plain colors.
The older I get, and the more I grow confident and comfortable with my body (probably thanks in a large part to running) the more fun I have with fashion.
In the last two years or so I have begun to have more fun with style, and started to purchased more fitted pieces, and fun stuff with colors and patterns.
Recently, I’ve even tossed in some sparkle – today I’m wearing my first shirt with built in BLING and I’m loving this updated, jeweled twist on a Fair Isle Sweater.
Never would’ve worn this a few years ago and I’m glad I’m becoming more confident and am having more fun with fashion.
Long Statement Necklaces –
I cannot get enough necklaces recently and am loving the super long ones I can just slip over my head. This is my latest find and I am obsessed with the black and white color combo because it goes with so much. (All my jewelry comes from Metal Marvels.)
Netflixing –
Have I mentioned recently how Netflix streaming is the best invention ever?
It all started when I got hooked on Orange is the New Black and then I discovered The Walking Dead. Since then I haven’t been able to stop. I just finished House of Cards, amazing, and someone suggested Sherlock which is really cool. I love that they show his thought process and how he deduces everything. I need more hours in the day… you know so I can lay on the couch or in bed with Netflix… the important things in life.
What are you Loving Lately?
Are you a Netflix streaming addict too? If so what shows?
I need to get on Netflix! I haven’t seen any of those shows.
I love Netflix, it is great for my Friday nights on the couch.
You look fabulous in real clothes- I haven’t worn dressy clothes in forever! I want that tea now too…looks so yummy!
Thanks so much. I have to wear real clothes to work, but prefer my run clothes.
Congrats on picking up the pace! You look great in that sweater! I agree, that tea does look yummy! I will have to try it!
I think you’ll like the tea. It is great.
love Sherlock! I just recently started watching season 3 of Girls on HBO. I’ve watched Marco Polo, and would recommend it!
I have watched a bit or Marco Polo and liked it so far too.
I’m all about Friday Night Lights on Netflix right now. Have a great weekend!
I have heard that is great. I need more hours in the day, for more NetFlix;)
The blingy top is pretty! I’m loving green tea in the afternoon in lieu of my sugar binge.
I am becoming more and more addicted to tea.
I really like your sweater. I have been watching AHS on Netflix lately. I need to get me one of those spiralizers to get my veggies in.
Is AHS pretty scary? I am interested, but worried because I don’t do horror well.
Love the sweater!
Thanks
you are so cute! love the glasses and the spiralizer! it’s addicting, yes?!
So addicting, making another spiralizer recipe tomorrow.
We have not streamed anything from Netflick – not sure why we don’t take advantage since we get it free through Amazon Prime.
It is my Friday night obsession. I think it would be great for your treadmill runs.
I’ll add Sherlock to my Netflix List. Love your description of the built in bling!
Sherlock is a lot of fun, hope you enjoy it.
I love these mish-mashy posts about all the things you are experiencing and enjoying!

Thanks
I’m LITERALLY watching Sherlock over again as I just read your blog. HAHA! I’ve probably watched them all through a dozen times and can’t wait for the next season. It’s hard only getting 3 episodes per season and then having to wait like two years between each one. Makes the fans that much more ravenous, I guess.
I blame you and my walk buddy for getting me addicted. Now I want MORE!
