things that are my jam

//The fact that there was rain this morning. Which makes me the most typical Oregonian ever. I am not ready for dreaded winter grey and rain, but I have to admit the free car wash and the smell of rain on the pavement was quite enjoyable. Also, Oregonians are weird. One second we complain about rain, the next we are complaining that it is too hot and we want the rain back. You can't have it both ways., people!! 

//This song:

Well, actually, if we're being honest, anything by James Bay is my jam right now. Maybe it's because he has the voice of a 65 year old smoker with that seductive growl when he sings. Maybe it's his 13 year old looking face...or maybe it's the fact that he has better hair than I do? Maybe it's because he looks like he could be the 4th brother of Hanson? Whatever the case, James Bay, you're killing it.

//These little to-go pouches of applesauce. Costco had organic ones in bulk and they are perfect for when I am rushing from one job to the next. 

//This dress from Madewell. I want it for myself. I kind of want it for my bridesmaids. I kind of want it in every color. Then again I want everything from Madewell in every color. But mostly, I kind of want it to not cost 148 dollars though. 

//I am getting my hair done this weekend. It makes me happy every time I have an appointment to look forward to. Thinking about maybe going a little more blonde? We'll see. Also why can't my hair look like Kate Mara's every day?! It probably has something to do with the fact that I hardly brush it - let alone take the time to style it. In fact, right now it is at the perfect length where the ends hit the top of my shoulders and curl out, but everything else is straight. Just like in middle school where I would take the time to actually use a curling iron to create the same look. What was 7th grade Brooke thinking?! This is the same middle school child that also wore pukka shell necklaces because I thought they were cute. The horror. 

Ok, that is all, I have an applesauce to-go calling my name. 

Cheers!

things that are my jam

Confession: I am rocking some post vaca blues this week. Being back at work is hard. I have said it before and I will say it again - why can't I be a stay at home girlfriend?! I don't think that is too much to ask. With that being said I have a lot of great things cooking right now even if it leaves me with no free time. So to keep it simple, stupid I am stealing out of Ami's playbook and sharing things that are my jam this week.

//First, is this birthday present I got from Bradley. Now it is not the only thing I got, but it might be favorite....I am also not sure what this says about me because he also got me a Kate Spade purse....And yet the cast iron just makes me a happy, happy lady.


Since I was gifted it we have made every meal with this bad boy.

//Also my jam - My new team at VillaSport. Even though I feel like I am a tad bit over my head right now, I am so, so excited for this opportunity to put my personal training to use. Better yet, I am working along side  some fabulous people! You hear so many horror stories when it comes to the fitness industry and working as a personal trainer, but so far I have felt none of that. It's a pretty good feeling to have - especially when I am such a newbie compared to all my teammates. It's a little frightening, but mostly exciting....but definitely frightening....

//This video of tips on how to perform the kettlebell swing!

//Lastly, this jam is my jam.

Ok, that is all I have for today... I have to finished up everything here at the big girl job and leave early for more new hire training! Pretty much what my schedule looks like from here on out :) 

Cheers!
