scenes from the weekend.

‘Twas a good one.

Anyone else think that Monica should start a sister blog to GML? ;)

Rewind to Friday where I ran errands all over the city, got my hair done, and enjoyed a coffee date with a reader. Hi Melanie! :)

Friday night was a friend’s birthday party at Henry, followed by a little FreelyBe shindig at Bounce.

Saturday included consisted of brunch at De Santos with some babes.

…don’t ask.

I spent most of Sunday laying around watching How I Met Your Mother…because I could. The lazy day was made complete with a nice stack of banana pancakes + maple almond butter. Heavenly.

Later in the day I peeled myself off the couch and headed out for a coffee meeting + church. Obligatory cab ride selfie – check.

Church was incredible, as usual. And I stopped at Whole Foods for a late dinner, also as usual.

And just like that, it’s Monday again. Will leave some inspiration for the start of the week..!

What was the highlight of your weekend? Do you prefer lazy or fun Sundays?

food.

THESE. So good.

(Even though “uber” is probably one of my least favorite words in the history of…ever.)

I grabbed them ^ when I went grocery shopping for the first time in weeks, along with the fixin’s for this bomb lunch bowl.

In the mix: chick peas, gluten free pasta, spinach, turkey sausage, pesto.

fun.

The only thing better than a pedi is a DELUX pedi. Treat yo’self.

Last night’s Sisterhood Cause Party was so great. We raised enough money to send each mom home with a stroller, winter jackets, and a ton of other products.

We also shared inspiring stories, ate cupcakes, and sang “Roar” together. AKA the girliest evening you could imagine, in the best possible way.

face.

I am all about a deep red lip these days. I (impulsively) bought this shade – “Wild Thing” – at H&M, and I just love it for the fall.

fail.

I wonder why my mom keeps trying to trick me into buying new boots…

Whatever. The more torn up those old faithfuls get, the more I love ‘em.

faith.

^^ …what he said!

What’s your favorite makeup look for the fall?
Have you tried Uber LaraBars?

Well said, Mr. Lewis.

fashion.

Leopard + red lips will always be one of my favorite combos.

(also does wonders for making a messy bun look intentional)

food.

So I experiemented with making a healthy breakfast cookie…

They were…not bad. Need some tweaking. Recipe (hopefully) to come!

In the meantime, this old favorite will do the trick.

fitness.

Today’s planned 30-minute elliptical workout turned into 60, with a little help from my new friends.

I know…I’m WAY behind the game on HIMYM. Only eight seasons to go…

Do you prefer music or watching TV/movies while exercising?
