As Ludacris once said,
“Roll out! Roll out! Roll out! Roll out!”
That’s my motto these days, now that my right IT band is preventing me from training for this marathon business. I’ll be rolling out my leg muscles like there’s no tomorrow, praying to God I can do some actual running soon. Meet my foam roller and athlete stick:
They are the source of so much pain and discomfort, sooooo here’s hoping that smashing my muscles is worth it!
See below for some randomness I fancy.
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Dates – I’m weirdly excited about this recent purchase. I’ve been not-so-diligently looking for dates at the grocery store for ages so I could try my hand at some homemade granola bar-type recipes. I found these on Sunday and now I just have to motivate myself to try out a recipe. Side note: dried fruit is expensive. Not a fan.
Patterned Pants – I’ve featured fun pants in past favorites posts, and now I can show off my new pair! My sister was apparently paying attention because she got me these (as well as another pair) for Christmas. Now I just need to figure out how to make an outfit out of this and cover up my arse.
Hair Color – Soooo I’m considering dying/highlighting/doing something to my hair in hopes of wanting to keep it for our future wedding. I’ve decided to put ombreing my own hair on hold because I feel like playing with bleach on my head isn’t the best idea when I have upcoming nuptials on the calendar. Oh, and the picture below might be my inspiration for this potential pre-wedding coloring.
A Quick Cup of Tea – I found this to be quite adorable. If I actually read something that wasn’t on my computer, I might make a cup of tea bookmark like this.
National Hug Day –It’s apparently National Hug Day. Therefore, I am sharing this old video of that one guy hugging strangers on the street in the music video for Everyday because I find it amusing.
Really cute pants! I am kind of obsessed with them as well this winter. I haven’t been able to run much either with my stupid plantar fasciitus. I’m with you on the foam roller. Hope you feel better.
Eee plantar fasciitus is no fun. Hope you feel better as well!
Love those pants! And using the stick to roll is so nice. It really gets my tough spots!
Agreed! It seems easier to target specific trouble areas.
Love your pants! So cute!
And the tea cups! I want to make one!
Do itttt. They look so easy to make!
Dates are so expensive – but awesome!
Ugh seriously! I’m hoping I can make good use of them.
Glad to hear you are rolling! I really want the stick roller too. I just have a hard foam one.
I totally support the hair color! I also wanted to do ombre recently but then I realized I didnt’ want to look back at my baby shower photos and be like OMG what was I thinking or look at that silly trend in like 20 years… So probably a smart decision.
Bahaha those are EXACTLY my thoughts on the ombre. I’d rather not do anything too trendy right now and look back and facepalm. And I highly recommend the stick roller. I feel like it somehow works the muscles differently, and I have better control over the intensity.
