BEACHIN ROMPER AND 15 THINGS

HAT /// ROMPER /// RING /// TOE RING

I want to wake up everyday (like our Mama) and choose to be happy. I don't always do that. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or complain because I can be a brat, and you know what? No one, not even myself wants to be around that. I want to change that about myself so I'm making a habit of listing 5-10 things each day that I'm thankful for. Some days I try and challenge myself to go through the whole day without saying anything negative. Have you ever tried that? It is for sure possible. I've done it a few times and it really does make your day 100% better. I should do it more. 

Here are some things that I jotted down. The most simple of things bring so much joy to my life and I want to remember that when I get in my funks. It's embarrassing. I embarrass myself. Geez. 

The first moment you wake up and know it's going to be an awesome day

The first sip of coffee in bed

The exciting drive to the beach filled with laughter and good music

The sand in between my toes
This awesome romper

The sun on my skin

The wind in my hair

The love of my life

The cutest pup there ever was just running full speed

The conversations I only have with God

The best treasures from the sea added to my collection

The many sounds of the ocean

The memories with my Grandma that pop into my head daily...then make me cry

The long drive home with windows down and music blaring

The longest hottest shower...

The best sleep of your life because my mattress is basically a cloud

Now it's your turn, what are the small things that make you thankful or happy?

I'm not sure if it's work, travel, winter storm Octavia or the color of my hair, but lately I've been diggin' the black on black. It makes living out a suitcase a whole lot easier :)

The last couple of weeks, I've been traveling in a van for work and the last two days driving was probably the most insane. We began our long drive from San Antonio, Texas to Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday. Crashed for the evening in Bryant, Arkansas and woke up Monday morning to a block of ice that use to be our tour van. Thank you winter storm Octavia! After an hour of defrosting/deicing the van, we began our slow 23 hour drive on ice (should have been 6) from Bryant to Nashville. Never again. That drive made a few weather fearing travelers out of us. We all agreed that the next time the wind blows the wrong way, we hotel it another night.

Today I fly home (if Octavia allows it) to Houston, Texas for the last time before officially becoming a Nashville resident again. It's been four or five years since I lived in Nashvegas and I'm so stoked to get back.

Below are a few items, I'd love to add to my blackout collection aka my rolling suitcase.

Hello friends! I missed y'all! I don't know about y'all but after the Holidays I was feeling a bit unmotivated, all I wanted to do when I wasn't working at the salon was just to relax, hang out with Jacob, drink wine, eat everything in sight and watch Netflix. The weather probably had a huge part in that with being cold and rainy everyday. Don't get me wrong it was awesome at first, I embraced it, but I am one of those people who are totally affected by the weather and working out. Finally The sun came back and I broke out of that unmotivated /uninspired state and started working out again. So here I am back in action!

Have any of y'all heard about Kayla Itsines? This is the new program I started and so far I am really loving it. I've completed the 4 week pre-training and now I am on week 2 of 12. So if any of y'all are doing this let me know how it's going for you! Her instagram is full of inspiring before and after posts incase you wanna check it out.

Also if you have any podcasts or music you think I need to listen to during my workouts I would love  recommendations!!! So far I listened and loved Serial, and can't stop jamming Pharrell and Bruno Mars!
