Friday Favorites! – The Hungry Runner Girl

(rain jacket)
Things started yesterday so beyond cold. I still don’t think I’ve warmed up from my run. I know what you are thinking… ‘Janae, it’s easy, just wear some pants.’ And you are right. Very right. I underestimate what cold rain feels like whenever I am preparing to go out and run in it.

The cold rain gave me flashbacks to Boston 2015. I was so underdressed for that rain and wind. I get the shivers just thinking about this race. All of you running Boston next month, you will have the perfect weather. I am manifesting it for you.

A lot of the day was spent with Beck up north at his original ENT. This ENT is a further drive, but we decided that he is our absolute favorite, and we will stick with him. He is going to give Beck his tubes next week! I am SO relieved that things will be better in just a few days. After his hearing tests yesterday, they discovered that all of his hearing in his left ear is blocked. Luckily, it is reversible for him once things are drained and he has tubes again.

We celebrated the good news of scheduling his appointment with GOAT-fil-A afterward ((Brooke once said that Chic-fil-A was the GOAT (greatest of all time), and so now our family calls it Goat-fil-A))

Now for this week’s favorites:

*I’ve had a few people ask me what I use to color my hair and they are these two things: Pravana ChromaSilk 6N and this developer! I mix equal parts and color my roots with these. It has saved me from having to go in so often. I’ll ask my hairdresser next week what she uses for all over color!

*When Lauren told me to buy this serum and said, “I swear it’s changed the texture of my skin. So much softer!” I purchased it immediately because she has educated herself in skin care and has the skin to prove it. This serum feels like it should cost way more than it does IMO and makes it feel smoother and tighter.

*A $4 lip gloss that Julie shared… SIGN ME UP. It feels so good on my lips, and now I can stop buying Summer Fridays, which costs way more and feels the same.

*This was a Christmas gift we gave the kids, and they continually play with it (PS: Do you see Beck sacrificing his body to be goalie?;). It’s an indoor hover soccer ball surrounded with foam so it doesn’t mark up your walls or furniture. It is so fun and gets us all laughing so hard.

*For my birthday, Andrew gave me these pants and this top. My favorite clothing is always what he picks out.

*I signed up for a trail race a few days ago, and now I’m already watching all of the ultramarathon documentaries on YouTube again. I do not know how to suffer like Sally McRae:

*In case you love a sale, here are a few: Target is offering BOGO 50% off on Women’s Swimwear! Anthropologie is an extra 50% off Sale! Aerie is up to 50% off almost everything.

*Oh, how I love a new-to-me trail mix, especially when it is basically just a bunch of candy.
