friday favorites - #1

here i am again, another friday... another post. today i am switching it up and linking up with heather at life in leggings. i've been following heather's blog, life in leggings, for a few months now, and yesterday i actually went to her workout class with a friend of mine who has been going for awhile! online world and offline worlds collide! Life in Leggings combines two of my favorite things: healthy living and detroit!

• as mentioned above, i went to a new 'gym' but it is honestly more like a personal training session! it was exactly what i needed and i am going to start going regularly! i have a gym membership that i am going to cancel - i think of every excuse not to go. it was my first real workout since my long hiatus due to sacrolitis and sciatica. i finally got an injection and it has been better since. i think i am going to have to work yoga into my routine as well.. i really don't want it to come back!

• also just started the 21 day fix. i'm really hoping it helps with my portions and just better food choices overall! also looking forward to incorporating these 28ish minute workouts into my routine!

• i'm always on the lookout for a good shampoo/hair products that don't dry out my hair and help me tame my mane with minimal effort (especially in the summer!). i recently tried and have been using hair food shampoo and conditioner.  i started with the clarifying shampoo and the moisturizing conditioner. i don't think my hair has felt so clean ever, and one of the best parts is that i have to wash it way less now!  the smell is also amazing...

ps. i am not paid for this nor is it an affiliate link. i just really like this product.

• everyone and their sister has been talking about stitch fix lately. i usually have SUCH a hard time buying clothes (i am never one size... i am so across the board that whenever i want to try clothes on, i have to try on like 16 things to get one that fits). should i bite this bullet and give it a try? decisions.

• um... can we talk about this for a second? michigan's first 'glamping' resort? this is the way i would want to camp. and it's in one of the best places - northern michigan (right by Torch Lake for anyone who is familiar!). their accommodation options include tree house, vintage RV, yachts, airliners .... and they let you customize with different amenities like meals per day, what size beds you want in each room, if you want cots or beds, etc. such a fun way to camp! my body is too old for a sleeping bag on the ground! i

i think i would choose safari tent! -- via 

• this compilation of dogs waking up to their favorite treats. how about that for a smile on a friday?

• this guy always hits the nail on the head! this week's episode: why clothes shopping is the worst.  why am i a size mouse at gap, and walrus at H&M? all i want is the same size potato sack to cover this monstrosity wherever i go. (see above: stitch fix debate

alright, i think that is it for me! tonight, [mlc], my parents and I are going to BrewHaHa at the Joe Louis arena, and we get to try foods from different restaurants around detroit and michigan beers, and Fowling! Fowling is basically bowling with a football, and i don't think it has made it out of the detroit area yet! you throw instead of a roll a football down at 10 bowling pins and try to knock them all down. it is apparently harder than it sounds! other than that, not a whole lot planned for the weekend - so happy about it! i love these weekends that i can just go with the flow.
