Coffee with some Prana Love

March 2, 2017

Happy Friday party people! Did this week wear on and on or was it just me? Because it’s the first weekend in March, I’m going to make this a hybrid Friday Five/Coffee Date post and I’m doing it in the Loving/Not Loving format. Because that’s how I’m rolling! Let’s get started, shall we? For the record, I’m drinking some very fragrant, just-ground Starbucks Breakfast Blend.

Loving: Kids are off school today. In fact Thing 2 has a 4-day weekend.
Not Loving: We’re stacked to the rafters with track meets, sleepovers, parents’ meetings, parties, etc.

Loving: My hamstring is finally feeling good enough to return to my yoga practice.
Not Loving: Wow I’ve got work to do. Can you stay stiff as a board?

Loving: This yoga outfit from Prana. That’s the Nightingale Sweater with Elixir Bra and Ashley Leggings. All superstars.
Not Loving: Prana’s spring collection is so great, I bought…shall we say…vigorously. Stop by next week to see what else I got, and in the meantime use S4P17MHS to save 15% for yourself until 3/28/17!

Use S4P17MHS to save 15% on the @prana spring collection! #Spring4Prana #sweatpink @fitapproach

Not Loving: I still haven’t found the charger for my wireless headphones.
Loving: I have a new pair of wireless headphones that I may love even more! They’re the BackBeat FIT Bluetooth Wireless Headphones from Plantronics. Stay tuned for the full review, and yes, I’ve got a pair for YOU if you’re lucky!

Not Loving: When I came back from vacay in January, some of my pants no longer fit. I was beyond disgusted.
Loving: It took me two months but dammit, they finally fit! BOOM!

Bonus Loving: Because this is too exciting to keep to myself: We booked our summer vacay. The mug pic at the top is a hint, but not all of it. We’re hitting up….wait for it…..Dubai! And then the Greek Islands!! It’s going to be a fun summer!

What are you loving lately? Have you gone wireless yet? Any vacation plans?

    Your summer plans sound amazing! This week has been crazy and has definitely made me want a vacation. All the stuff from Prana looks great! And I still haven’t invested in wireless headphones. Looking forward to your review of the Backbeat ones!

    I have one kid off school and one in school today, which meant I still had to get up early this morning. Yawn.

    Sounds like an awesome vacation!

    I’ve thought about wireless but haven’t done any research yet. That could be a gift idea for Christmas, because that’s how long I can procrastinate.

    OMG this is going to be an amazing summer trip! I’ve always wanted to go to Dubai and the Greek islands. Can’t wait to see all your photos and hear all about it.

    I like your PRANA clothes. I’d like to buy some but I need to get “real” clothes since now some of mine no longer fit. I’d like to think it’s because I’m gaining muscle…lol.

    Great vacay plans.

    I’d like to invest in a wireless headphones – I’m tired of having to deal with mine when I run. Look forward to hearing your review and maybe I can score new headphones too! Wow Dubai! It was one of our port stops when I used to be navy more than a decade ago. I can only imagine what it looks now with all of its extravagance. Sounds like it’s going to be an awesome vacation!

    Greece was one of my fav trips. Never been to Dubai. Not sure I’d want to go to either one in the summer!

    That outfit is super cute.

    Congrats on fitting back into your pants! Awesome, especially considering what you’re dealing with. You rock!

    Dubai and the Greek Islands? Yep. I’m jealous. 😉 I hope you have an amazing time! And I’m looking forward to seeing how those new wireless headphones work out. I bought the cheap earbud kind off Amazon and they’re always popping out because my ears get really sweaty.

    And that Prana sweater!! Love!

    First off, beautiful picture with your coffee and the sunrise in the background. 🙂
    Congrats on getting that vac weight off so you can get into your pants again. I hate it when clothes shrink on us! LOL!

    My husband gave me a pair of wireless headphones for Christmas. I wish I would have made the transition sooner! I will never go back to working out with wired headphones!

    Your vacation plans sound awesome!! I’m excited because I found out that I’ll be doing RNR Montreal in September with BibRave. We’re going to make that into a great racecation.

    I feel like I haven’t practiced yoga in ages…it seems like you lose it so quickly if you don’t use it!

    I love coffee, but surprisingly I don’t drink it every day. In fact during the work week I drink mostly Tea!

    How are you liking those headphones? I really love my bluetooth headphones but I have the AfterShokz Trekz Titanium – how are those?
