Friday Favorites – The Newlyweds One

February 27, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

Can you believe at exactly this time last week I was sipping champagne and getting ready to walk down the stairs aisle?  This week has been a little bit of a downer back to reality but I have had so much fun recollecting with everyone from the Wedding.  What was their favorite part.  How truly spectacular the sunset was.  The dance party that ensued….my ridiculously good looking photographer that every single female in attendance was swooning over…..you know all the good parts ;-)  This weekend I’m going to really relax, start on those thank you cards and get some posts together highlighting all the fun leading up to the day!

I wanted to thank everyone for their beautiful and thoughtful shout outs last week!  It meant so much and I swear I really felt everyones support and love for me on our big day!

(Here I am chowing cake……what I do best)

Now for those favorites!

Favorite Song

I just absolutely love how chill and trance this song is but then that beat kicks in.  Definitely had this on during our dinner reception.  I was going for a laid back vibe.  Kygo “Firestone” ft Conrad.

Favorite Recipe

We have been on a short rib kick.  Grab them from Costco and throw them in the crockpot.  Anything with an asian influence I am all over.  These were so good over rice with stir fry veggies.  Slow Cooker Asian Beef Short Ribs  full recipe here.

Favorite Workout

I am all about the lower body workouts and bosu ball workouts are so killer!  This one is no exception.

Favorite Purchase

Yes I went back to teaching barre right away after the wedding.  I walked into a new shipment of lululemon and immediately fell in love with this wild tank top.  I love the built in bra support and the open flow front and sides.  Paige as always you were right on this one!

Favorite Funnies

When I went back to work this week after the Wedding

I hate pushing carts but sometimes that basket gets heavy….very quickly…..especially at Trader Joe’s
Couldn’t have said it better myself
My bridesmaids when I made it down those stairs without even the tiniest stumble
When we got back from the Wedding and I would notice Mark’s hand with the ring on it….poor guy
When we were invited inside to sit down to dinner…..in my defense I was being pretty strict leading up to the day
After my post on Wednesday.….just replace Naomi with Amanda…..that’s right Tyra
How I feel about this week finally being over!!
Happy Friday!!!  Tell me your favorites from this week!!!  xoxoxoxo

    ENJOY being a newlywed! So much is different after you’re married and yet the love and adoration is the same. I chowed on cake too at my wedding. You can’t help it when it’s so delicious. Yours is beautiful, btw.

    Love that tank and of course your funnies… Does not play well with others is my favorite!

    Love you, you pretty MRS, you! Happy ONE WEEK of being married! xoxo

So cute! I could not agree with you more about the shopping cart thing. And I laughed that that Tyra funny… she should have definitely feared you! ;) Happy Friday love!

    Your cake was gorgeous, I would definitely be chowing down too. So true about the basket thing, I test myself at Target with how much I can possibly fit in a basket until I finally crack down and go all the way to the front to get a cart. Woohoo on being a newlywed for a week! Hug. Moment.
