Happy Friday! Can we hit pause please? I mean it’s like the middle of June now and before you know it Summer will be over. I only have a few more weeks of my twenties definitely going to do all those irresponsible “20 year old” things……ummmmm give me some suggestions?
I have 10 more days till our engagement pictures! Y’all are going to have to help me next week finalize some looks okay? Kristen sent me this……just totally ignore the fact it’s pregnancy related but I thought it was so helpful for what colors go together. What are your favorite looks for engagement pictures?
Favorite Song
Absolutely in love with this long. Perfect for tempo running with those break out sprints in the middle. Mya has the most beautiful voice. Seriously listen to this song it’s at the top of my list right now. Cedric Gervais Feat Mya “Love Is The Answer”.
Favorite Recipe
Made this Avocado Hummus the other day and it was pretty much gone in an hour between the two of us. Perfect Summer recipe, find it here. I like it with lots of red pepper flakes because I’m spicy like that.
Favorite Workout
Yeah I was pretty much speechless after watching this. Then I had to write down what the moves were and see if I could do it. Not going to lie the one handed plank thing to the front standing kick…..dead.
Here is the recommendation from the video. Full article here.
Favorite Sale
My favorite maxi is on sale and it comes in multiple colors which I now have the turquoise one and love it. I mean for that price you could get all 3….
They also look amazing with this gladiator sandal (also on sale!)
With delicate gold accents. Obsessed with this 70’s tassel necklace, been throwing it on top of everything.
Favorite Funnies
I’m pretty much always thinking about my next meal when I’m finishing the current one…
I mean what is going on now with everyone getting a medal???
Honestly why is there always one that has to do this?
Why I love you all so much
How I much feel by the end of this week after the conversion to computer charting

Pretty much sums it up…instead of making sub finding

Whenever anyone says to me “promise you won’t tell”……

That awkward conversation when you want to get out of going somewhere and you thought the other person was totally feeling the same way but actually they are really on board still
(via tumblr)
How I feel like I should spend some of the last nights of my 20’s…..I can hear Mark now “You want to get New York New York pizza???” Ummmmmm you know it
(via tumblr)
Okay now it is your turn!! Tell me all your favorites from this week! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! xoxoxo
Shenine joon says
Ok, I wasn’t the first link but I’m the first comment! I’ll take it! That girl in that video is a straight savage! I don’t know if we use that word anymore but I dont’ know how else to describe her. Hope you have a great weekend and can’t wait to see some of your looks for your engagement shoot! One step closer to seeing that dress, what is the countdown now ;)
Carrington {Momma Fussell} says
I’m so awful at picking out colors for pictures. And I’m dying laughing at the ecard about the person who has to voice their opinion. Yes. Just yes.

Kristen says
10 days! how exciting, can’t wait to see them!
never heard that song before, dont mind me just jamming out in mcdonalds using their free wifi lol.
that hotel room workout is perfect – way better than the one i have been doing whilst away, ill have to try that one … tomorrow!
and all your gifs are hilarious, especially the finding gifs one hahaha you know it ;) aaand the one where im always like not wanting to go out anymore and then the other person still is and you have to pretend you want to . womp womp.
so i just happen to be online in time to link up but i cant find the link up thingy :(
Kristen says
i think because i’m using the free wifi they have blocked the link up tool :( sad face. dont suppose you want to link me up again haha?
Jess says
Avocado hummus is so good, but I buy it already made ’cause I’m lazy. She looks so badass in the workout video; those are some amazing moves, which would probably incapacitate me, body and mind for a while.
Kiki says
I have been wanting to give the avocado hummus a try looks so good!
Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says
The promise you won’t tell face is the best!!! Giving everyone a medal defeats the purpose of the dang metal!!
Pamela {Sequins and Sea Breezes} says
Eek! Don’t remind me how close we are to losing our 20’s! :( I can’t wait to see your engagement photos, they’re going to be gorgeous! Love the maternity what to wear too ;) Still in LOVE with that maxi… and those gold and black sandals, yes please! LOL forget to eat? HA! Yeah right. I’d forget to sleep before I’d forget to eat! Happy Friday love!
<3, Pamela

Love those maxis [of course] and those funnies have me cracking up big time! Happy friday!!
Stacy G says
I really want that black maxi… and it is a really great price! Loving those sandals and the necklace. I was actually looking for something like that after I found this pin. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/93520129736850732/. Have a great weekend girl! XO
Amanda @ More Like Me says
That avocado hummus looks good! I never thought to add red pepper flakes.
I laughed way harder than I should have of that kid falling off his chair!
BLovedBoston says
Avocado hummus – sign me up!! I’m pretty much buying that maxi dress today in red – it’s settled…although not really sure what my junior size is lol! I have 0 idea what is happening in that last gif…the meeting e-card is so true…so annoying!! Happy Friday love!! xo
Nadine Lynn says
Pumplestiltskin?!?!?! LOL I am dying. DYING!!!! That is hilarious! I love trying to back pedal.
That dip? Seriously?! I may have to stop looking at your Friday posts. Last week you forced me to purchase and eat an entire package of birthday frosting stuffed cookies and now this shit? Then you are all like oh yeah and check out this work out. Yeah no shit, you need that work out after consuming all this yummyness!!!!! I have no control.
Those shoes and necklace are fab! When I find something I like, I purchase it in every color that I can pull off….so I would be doing the same thing with that maxi too!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend doll!
Kerri Taylor says
that pregnancy chart thing made me laugh! but i dig where your head is at on that one. i vote the first of the three options. also love those maxis. it saves me in this florida heat! but what is with the crazy storms this week? jesus. not a fan. happy friday! xo

Elena Ridley says
That acacado hummus looks so good!! Can’t wait to try it. Also love that ecard about forgetting to eat… Seriously? I eat for 8 hours a day sometimes sitting at my desk!! Love that pregnancy photo outfit planner, works perfect for engagement photos too!
Lindsay @ Broke and Bougie says
Avocado hummus?! SAY WHAT? And “when someone tells me not to tell” – YES. Always!
Tracey says
I’m all over that avocado hummus. Why did I never think to make avocado hummus before? It looks so good and perfect for summer. Also, I agree summer is already flying by :(
Lauren says
So for engagement pics, my best advice is to dress traditionally. I personally cringe when I see a girl in a chevron dress in her engagement pics because it’s just so trendy and I would get tired of looking at it if I framed the pic in my house! I chose to wear jewelry that I knew I would keep for years instead of costume, statement jewelry and over for years later, I still like my pics. I’m sure whatever you wear will be super cute!
Megan @ ThefancyFlamingo says
Im totally on board with that avocado hummus.
Engagement pics, soo exciting I cant wait to see them! And I think you should wear a print!
Jana @ The Townhouse Pioneer says
There is no way anything can be wrong with avocado hummus. It’s two perfect foods mashed into one.
I have no advice on the engagement photos clothes. I’m lucky if I wear a shirt without a stain on it.
I don’t trust people who say they forget to eat. I think they’re liars.
SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says
Pinned the avocado hummus!
I always pic what I want to wear for pics and MFD dresses in a similar or complementary color.
Kate @ Another Clean Slate says
I put red pepper flakes or sriacha on everything- will have to try making that hummus! Can’t wait to see your engagement pics!!!
Natalie Groth says
Dude. Avocado hummus?? OMG yes. And I really want that maxi dress!
alyssa says
Another perfect song choice… and avocado + hummus is the most glorious combination of words I ever want to hear. And those funnies ahhhhhhh are perfect today. Pumplestiltskin! Have a great weekend love!
Jillian Manesh says
mmm that DIP! looks so good. i need to make it soon. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
MakeMeUpMia says
That dip looks and sounds amazing! I love the maxi and necklace so much, stupid no buy! haha
Joey says
Confession: sometimes I do actually forget to eat. I know people think it’s SO weird, but it’s a weird problem with me. I’ll elaborate sometime ;) I am a good secret keeper with things that are important–but other things? WORST EVER! I like sharing good news! I will say, when my two besties both told me they were pregnant within 24 hours of each other–the only person I told was my momma. <3 <3
Pink and Fabulous says
I need to order that dress in every color right now! And make that dip… and do that workout! Happy Friday lady :)
Tabitha says
Mmmm…I love anything avocado! And that dress is so cute! Ugh! I want it!
Mree says
LMAO!! You always make me laugh!! Love those maxi dresses. As for your pictures, just make sure the color you both wear compliment each other. Looking forward to seeing how the pictures come out. I’m sure they will be amazing.
Best, Mree
Caitlyn {Home Sweet Ruby} says
Yay for engagement photos!! We did the bright + neutral combo and I love how they came out despite our overall awkwardness. haha! I suggest doing one dress and then one shorts/pants outfit because I did 2 dresses and it was hard to do any cute poses on the ground together in a dress. And oh man I can totally relate to that meeting e-card… LOL so annoying! Have a great weekend friend!
birdie to be says
Can’t wait to see your engagement pics! So exciting. That avocado hummus is now a must make over here. Looks sooo good! Love that tassel necklace too!
Court @ Sweet Home Alabamian says
Are you sure you don’t work at NASA with that meeting ecard? :) HappY Friday!
Krystal R. says
Yay for engagement pics!! So soon too! Love all the funnies and Im going to try the avocado hummus finally. Ive seen it one too many times to ignore it now. Must must must try it lol
Ashley says
Just pinned the hummus to try soon. It sounds delicious! I avoided all pattern for the pictures. I think guys could do a small stripe or check, but my photographer suggested avoiding prints. I’m sure you’ll look beautiful whatever you decide to wear!
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says
That pregnancy clothing chart actually is very useful – you definitely should use that as a guide for your engagement pictures! My biggest tip though is to wear what feels natural for both of you, otherwise you’ll look back on your pictures and be like “what?” I can’t believe one of the outfits that I wore for ours, so now I naturally just hide them away (which is easy to do once you get your wedding pictures. :) ) Have a great weekend, lady!
Amy @The Crazy Wise Woman says
Omg… the kid falling off the stool with his pizza lmao. And…. must make that hummus… you know that is right up my alley:) Have a great weekend!!
Alex @ she's his co-pilot says
I laughed way too hard at the little kid falling over. Opps.
Christina says
need that avocado hummus!!! it looks so creamy!!
Kasey Lynne says
Ahh so many things to say!!
Pinning that avocado hummus recipe right now. My husband and I eat hummus like cake…and hey! it’s healthier ;)
That workout is only 16 minutes? It probably would feel like an hour long after you’re done. That looks brutal, but it’s definitely being added to my youtube favorites, so I can come back to it later and try it. And I’ve been wanting to buy those maxi dresses, but I feel like they might be too short on me. I’m 5’10 so it’s a chore trying to find maxi dresses that are long enough…I really like the Lush maxi dresses that come in different colors too…and that price is SO good.
brooke lyn says
ok, I was just having this conversation with a friend the other day –how do people just ‘forget’ to eat?!?! I plan my day around food. I am thinking about my next meal before i have even finished my first meal.
Erin LFF says
Saving that hummus recipe too- NOM!!! :) I’m loving that gold tassel necklace– I’ve got a silver one similar and I wear it SO MUCH! I think a gold one is just a must!!
Niki {Glossy Blonde} says
That maxi dress is beautiful and yay for your upcoming engagement photos! That guide is great (and I’m pregnant so it will come in handy for me)!
Rebecca Jo says
avocado hummus?!?!?!? I must have… & gain 10 lbs by eating it for days!
Georgina Castellucci says
Thank you for hosting the Friday linkup! So exciting about your engagement photos (I cannot wait to see them!) Have a wonderful weekend (and I need to work on my own 20’s list!) xo
sara {rhapsody and chaos} says
Sign me up for that HUMMUS. Seriously. Happy Friday, my dear! And thank you for posting that color coordination reference!
Julie @ Homegrown State of Mind says
That avocado hummus recipe looks delicious!! And that somecard about forgetting to eat – that has NEVER happened in my life, nor will it ever. Haha! Food addict, right here. Thanks for hosting this link up! This is my second time linking up. So fun!!
Laura {happily ever} Parker says
When I first saw the maternity photo I was like huh… :) But thank you that was rather helpful! Can’t wait to see your engagement pictures! Word of advice…feed the fiance beforehand!
Jen says
Hahah that maternity picture infographic is awesome…and you’re right it definitely applies to engagement pictures too! Can’t wait to see yours!!
Pretty sure I would devour that entire bowl of hummus myself. Yum!

Mandy @ Mandy's Money says
haha I totally looked at that maternity picture idea on pinterest and thought about pinning it, but didn’t want anyone to think I was preggo!
Em says
Ommggg you’ve become my go-to source for amazing maxis!!! SO adorable and yes I think I need one in each color…because like you said, why not? Haha. And seriously…show me your gif-making skillllsss!!! :D I hope you have a great weekend!!

I’m thinking you need to wear your shortest, tightest, most sparkly thing you own and walk into New York Pizza like you own the place. And then go buy alcohol so you can get carded and feel extra good about yourself ha. Plan? And avocado hummus for dessert. Happy weekend!!
Brittany @ Perpetually Daydreaming says
Good luck with engagement picture outfits! That was a tough one for me! I think going with solid colors looks way better than patterns! I think the outfit also depends on the settings/backdrops too. That hummus looks yummy! I’m going to have to try that. Have a good weekend girlie!
Shannon Jenkins says
I can’t wait for your enganent pictures!! I would def not worry too much about you guys coordinating, just find and outfit you love and then just use your taste on what he should wear (because it’s obvi most important you look fab!) holy yummy hummus that looks so good! Omgggggggggg I HATE computer charting! Shoot me!!

Sara says

Katie Elizabeth says
Avocado and hummus.. two of my favorite foods! My husband always ruins our food with those damn red pepper flakes, too – I don’t know how you people do it! I basically have to chug milk after eating his food!
Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMee says
Bahahah… I just realized that I forgot to link up… I sowwy! :( I put your button in b/c I pre-wrote it but I totally forgot to link up this morning! FAIL!
Avocado hummus?! GET IN MY BELLY! Seriously… that sounds ridiculously amazing! And I like the idea of adding red pepper flakes to it!
I can’t wait to see how your engagement pictures turn out!!!
Brianne says
OMG the meeting one!! Yes!! I want to choke the people who won’t just let the meeting end.
Kelly R says

I thought I had missed something when I saw that first picture! All your workout videos are always so inspiring when I see them and than I start them and I’m all “Nope”! Haha. The funny about the meeting is totally how my boss is. Shoot me now!
