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)
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
LOVE that Lululemon top!!!

Your wedding looks like it was gorgeous! Lovely bride lovely groom just adorable!
My guy would be SO happy with me if I cooked those short ribs! Thanks for sharing :)
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
Still loving getting to see all those wedding pictures!! Hope you get to relax this weekend and just enjoy married life! That short rib recipe sounds amazing and loving that tank you bought! So cute!

Had to check out your photographer, hotty!! You look absolutely stunning and I love your cake! All the sparkles!!! I don’t think I’ve ever had short braised ribs, always just a rack smoked BUT that sounds delicious. I might have to be picking some of those up. Happy Friday!!!

Beautiful wedding photos!! Can’t wait to read more about all the different events/festivities. Totally agree about the Trader Joe’s basket quickly getting heavy, especially when I get to the wine aisle. haha Have a great weekend!
Chowing on cake is my favorite thing to do and every single one of your pictures is so beautiful!
The short ribs look delicious!
Enjoy your weekend and being a newlywed. It’s the best :)
I loveee your wedding dress…. and that lulu top! I want something like that but I feel like all the tops with the cool backs are all designed for yoga, not running. Have a fab weekend, you newlywed!
You looked so beautiful!! Love love love your dress. The detail is so gorgeous!! The cake looks so yummie! Love the cupcakes. Happy One Week Anniversary!!
Your dress is spectacular and you look gorgeous. That cake is beautiful too. Can’t wait to see more!!! I love short ribs and we had them at our wedding haha. So good. Like the idea of the bosu workout but every time I try one the thing slides all over the place and its like fail. Haha. Have a wonderful weekend newlywed!! :-)
You are such a stunning bride! Your new LuLu top is amazing! And also your GIFs always have me LOLing. Happy first week of marriage! xoxo
I love the suggestions without options, that is me inside and out! Have a great relaxing weekend, good luck on those thank you cards!
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.
I can’t get over how stunning your dress is!! absolutely gorgeous!
That first funny totally cracks me up and I LOVE that lululemon tank. Hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend. Your wedding pics were gorgeous! xoxo, Traci

Your cake & dress are amazing! Amen to the cart one. I do that far more than I’d like to admit.
Congratulations!! Your pictures are amazing, you were a beautiful bride.
Yay for not stumbling down the stairs! Seriously impressive. Happy one week anniversary :) ;)
Congratulations on the wedding! I knew your dress would be amazing and it does not disappoint! Love! PS Thank you for sharing that short rib recipe! I am going to make those soon. My hubby is obsessed with short ribs.
You looked amazing on your wedding day! And your cake looked delicious. I need to try that short rib recipe, but first I need to buy a slow cooker.
Best gif’s ever! I can’t stop laughing!
I’m dying over that basket vs shopping cart ecard! That is so me! I refuse to get a cart because I’m only going in for one thing, duh, but after my arm starts to hurt with 20 lbs of junk in my basket, I’m really wishing I had grabbed the cart! Your wedding looks gorgeous and Princessy!
Ally – Life as I know it

Hi Amanda! My name is Megan and I blog over at meganspotted.com. This is my first time linking up to the Friday Favorites linky party. Thanks for hosting! I love the bosu ball workout you listed. I’m always looking for ways to mix it up at the gym. I will be adding this to my workouts for next week. Thanks!

I super, sparkly heart love your wedding dress! On a different note, I am slightly intimidated by short ribs, so I have never bought them, but maybe I will be ballsy enough to try them soon!
I love that you went right back to teaching! I think I did the same!
As a side note, remember that episode of Tyra where Naomi came on the show, and Naomi said she had NO idea what Tyra was talking about? God that killed me for whatever reason. Namoni don’t gave a flying eff about anything.
CONGRATTTTSSS! You’re a MRS! :) that’s so exciting, girl. You looked stunning! I seriously am obsessed with that new workout top…although, my wallet won’t let me inside that adorable store! ;)
So many great things in this post! I hope you’re adjusting to and enjoying newlywed life – it’s such a fun and special time for you both! Looking forward to hearing more about everything. Happy Sunday!
Of course, I had to go check out your photographer… he IS hot! Mama likey!
That lululemon top is adorable. No one wants to see my back rolls though, lol
I went to check out the photographer like amanda! haha. You looked stunning girl and Im impressed you are even blogging haha. Love the lululemon tank
Oh girl, stop. You were a stunning bride! You’re pictures are amazing…and obviously, I’m off to go see what this good looking photographer is all about, haha!
I’ve been thinking about getting back into Barre out here in Manila! Every time I see your pictures of teaching, I think I should pull the trigger on it :)
Ah such gorgeous photos! I seriously cannot get over how happy I am that your wedding went off without a hitch ♥ Love the favorite funnies this week!
That cake!!! Simple, but so elegant! that is the cake of my dreams, I was furious with how ours turned out. It tasted damn good which is what really matters, but from a visual standpoint, I was not a happy bride
Who needs favorites when you start off a post with those STUNNING wedding pics?! LOVE!!!! :)
