I’ve been meaning to do a Five Things Friday post forever (a la Clare). They’re such a fun way to wrap up the week! So here’s my life in 5’s lately…
Five life updates
* Yesterday was Jessi’s (30th) birthday! We had a great group dinner out to celebrate…and some more fun things lined up for the weekend.
* I found out some chick was impersonating me on Facebook and using all of my photos. HA. Thanks to the people who let me know/reported her with me. It was so weird.
* I may have mentioned this before, but I’ll be out in California in August/September, and I’m getting so excited! First stop is Santa Barbara, then a few days in LA.
* I’m taking a little Instagram hiatus. Nothing in particular happened other than I felt strongly like I was supposed to.
* Not to be a debbie downer, but I can’t say I love NYC in the summer. It’s like a big oven here. I just want to be on the beach! Less than 2 more weeks ’til I’m back there…
Five things I ate
* Avocado toast just about every day
* Massive quinoa/veggie stir fry
* The best seared Duck Breast ever from Hudson Clearwater
* cupcakes for Jessi’s birthday
* Green smoothies
Five workouts
* Monday: off
* Tuesday: 55 minute boxing/bootcamp class at Work Train Fight (booked through my trial at FitReserve, which I’m loving so far!) AND a 45 minute SoulCycle class. I never do two-a-days, but I forgot that I double booked for this day. Whoops.
* Wednesday: off
* Thursday: off
* Friday: planning on an afternoon Peloton class (via FitReserve), depending on how my day goes
Five Pins
This. It’s okay to change your mind.
One day…
Fig and prosciutto tartines.
Oversized tee.
Everything about this look.
Five things making me happy
* My new playlist
* The weekend ahead with more birthday celebrations and fun plans.
* This article about being more vulnerable when it comes to dating/relationships. It’s definitely not the norm these days, but I think there’s a lot to be said for being fully honest and allowing yourself to be more vulnerable.
* Just feeling very much at peace lately with work stuff, new things coming up, etc.
* Your comments/emails in response to this post. You guys rock. If I haven’t responded to your email yet, I will by tonight!
**********
Your turn! What’s been a highlight of your week?
I am excited to read the article about dating/vulnerability. I feel like so much of what we are trained to do in the dating world is about playing games, being reserved/fake in a way, and just not good. Vulnerability is definitely valuable and I think it’s what God intended for us (I mean, Adam and Eve were totally vulnerable before the fall, right? shame only came after!) but it’s also hard to be vulnerable while ‘guarding your heart’ (whatever that means, I’m still figuring it out!).
Yes, I know exactly what you mean! what did you think about the article? 🙂
Happy Friday Gracie! I could use one of those cupcakes 🙂
This is such a great post, thanks for sharing dear!

LOVE it 🙂 SO glad you did a FTF!
Wow…so many catfishes out there what a hot mess. Glad it’s resolved! Happy Friday!
Avocado toast is the bombbbbb. So jealous you’re going to Cali! Just for vacation?
Yup just for vaca! I’m staying with my friend for a few days, then taking a few days in LA by myself 🙂
My coworker had her baby, which is super exciting, but it means I’ll be ‘on my own’ for the next couple of months - and I’m excited about it. I think it is going to be a great time for me to learn more on my own. I feel like I’m going to take away so many (positive) things from this, even if I do have to handle the unexpected crazy days alone. =)
That’s an awesome attitude to have! I think it’s so important, especially as we get older, to always embrace opportunities to learn new & experience new things 🙂
Your “five things” posts are so creative! It’s such a unique idea and a great way to connect with your readers! Now you have me wanting to try avocado toast- Yum! We love your blog at Hey Abigail 🙂
