The Little Things
April 17, 2015

Happy Friday! This week for nail polish I chose a new-to-me color: Essie’s “In the Cab-ana”, which is from Essie’s 2013 Resort Collection. I was drawn to it mostly because it matches my “Cancun” Starbucks Mug pretty much exactly:

But I also just love the beautiful aqua color:

(in this picture it looks more blue than it does in person)

It’s beautiful, right? I have a feeling I’ll be seeing lots of this color over the next five or six months!

Here are a few random Friday Facts:

1. I’ve known Melissa for a year now, and I can’t really believe it’s been that long! We met at mile 1 of the Carmel Half Marathon last year, and have been friends and running buddies since!

2. To go with the tropical theme I’m still choosing to live around since returning from Mexico, I pulled out my Coconut scented candle last Sunday, and have been burning that in the evening. It smells amazing, and instantly reminds me of the beach!

3. I took 16 days off from exercising due to being in Mexico, which is crazy for being at the end of a training cycle! Even though I was taking a break (there really was no time to exercise), I still walked 2-3 miles every day, and lifted bags of cement, sand, etc… so I still came back sore and tired. I ran 8.2 miles this past weekend, and to say I’m sore is an understatement. I guess I still used different muscles…

4. The last meal I ate in Mexico was Monday dinner, and this past Saturday I couldn’t take it anymore. I got a big meal at a nearby Mexican restaurant when I was with some friends, and I practically cried with excitement. It had only been 5 days. I miss Mexican food more than I thought I would!

5. This past Saturday was “International TableTop Day”, which basically means it’s an international game day. I went out with some friends on Saturday morning/afternoon and we played all sorts of board games, which was a blast! I love playing board games, and don’t do it nearly enough. My favorite from the day was Ticket To Ride.

Now it’s your turn to share! Tell me one random fact from your week! What’s one of your favorite board games?

      hahaha! That’s one game that I didn’t play much growing up. We didn’t own it and neither did many of my friends.
