Happy Friday my loves. This week was just CRAZY. Work has been jam packed and I’ve been leaving just exhausted. I am looking forward to this weekend and some relaxation. My brain is a tad bit fried today so a quick Friday recap to launch off into this weekend.
This song is all the good vibes. Isn’t his voice beautiful?
Healthier carrot cake cupcakes. Yes please. Check the recipe here.
This barre printable workout.

Checking a price tag on a dress in a boutique and realizing it’s one months rent
Ordering a trusted favorite meal that comes “deconstructed”
Visiting that one friends new house and the walk in closet is the size of my bedroom
When you get transferred to the next person who “can help you with that problem” and they ask you to explain what is going on. Again. For the fifth time.
When a friend asks you to take a crossfit class with them
Your turn linkup and tell me your favorites from the week and what your plans for the weekend are!

That song is great and his voice is beautiful. That last gif is the best. LOL. Chris’s fraternity brother does cross fit and he’s in amazing shape. That gif about price tags is also great. That was me when I tried on this awesome military vest at work and then saw how much it was. :-/ I hope that you have a fab weekend and that you get to relax a bit. :-)

kristen says
seriously. there is nothing more infuriating then being put through to someone else, after the other person said they would explain and you’re on hold for ages, then the person picks up and has no effing idea what is going on. so much rage, i can feel myself getting cranky and it’s not even happening haha. have a good weekend girl!
Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says
So true about Sunday Funday! Ha! That anxiety starts kicking in, in the evening, well for me at least. Hope you get some R&R this weekend!

Kiki - According to Kiki says
Bahahaha could that checking a price tag meme be anymore true! Hope you had an awesome weekend Amanda!
Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says
Hahaha, crossfit. Ugh. No.
One of my favorite sayings is if you have to check the price tag, you already know you can’t afford it! Put it back, just put it back!
