Friday Favorites – June 24th, 2016

leaving nyc

Guys, it has been A WEEK. You guys know that I do my best to blog at least three to four times per week yet this week I haven’t had a chance to come up for air once. I burnt the candle at both ends, waking up most days at 5:30 for morning workouts (FlyWheel, Mile High and Bar Method) then finally curling up in bed around midnight. It was a great work week, including my 10 year anniversary celebration with Procter & Gamble, enjoyed during drinks and dinner at Morimoto.  But, as we drove out of the city last night at 7:30 I was definitely ready for some fresh air and sleep. We are escaping the city for a weekend in Vermont – just what I need after a long week.

Now, let’s dive into this week’s edition of Friday Favorites, including recipes, articles, posts and other things that caught my eye this week.

  • I’ve had my eye on these colorful Sweaty Betty leggings all season and now they are finally on sale 50% off!
  • Now that the UK has made the historic decision to exit the EU (not the UN like Fox News said…) this easy to understand BBC guide to the UK’s EU Referendum helps you understand exactly what this means for those in the UK and beyond.
  • This bright gingham shirt is perfect for Vermont’s cool mornings and the cool evenings we’ve experienced in New York City the past few weeks. My favorite way to wear it is with distressed jean shorts and sandals.
  • I have a lot of eating to do as I’ve only  been to five of the twenty-one hottest healthy restaurants in NYC. Who wants to start a lunch bunch and try a different one each week?
  • Summer means fresh food, grilled everything and long, lingering weekend dinners on the back porch. I pinned these 10 unique lettuce-free salads, in hopes of trying a different one each week. Tonight I’m starting with the asparagus and feta salad!
  • On October 21st you’ll be able to see Hamilton on PBS – or at least 15 minutes of the famed Broadway hit. Until Bo and I can see it in person, this will at least help me begin to understand and appreciate everyone’s love of this show.
  • Before this week it had been YEARS since I stepped food in an Old Navy store. However, when I found myself without a sports bra for an evening workout I remembered that Evann and others have raved about their Old Navy Active experience and decided that this was a perfect chance to try their gear out for myself. The Go-Dry Cool Fitted Shelf Bra tank was perfect for Wednesday’s FlyWheel class and the Go-Dry Performance Racerback Elastic Tank kept me cool during this week’s runs!
  • After years of hard-work my girl Theodora finally received a much deserved promotion at Daily Burn! I’m so proud of her!

Have a great weekend! I’ll check in tomorrow with my latest Stitch+Fix order as well as pictures from our Vermont adventures.
