Favorites Round Up!!

Much like everyone else – I’m so thrilled to have a three day weekend!! Bring on the BBQ’s, sun & extra sleep!!

Meet At The Barre

Let’s get right into my favorites for the week!!

Favorite Song

I am seriously obsessed with this song by Nico & Vinz – like my body just starts moving! Apparently I’m really late to the party because this song came out in 2013… 



Favorite Workout

via

I was not motivated in the least this week to really have a workout at the gym – so Tuesday morning I tried the full body workout and it was great!! It’s amazing everything I can accomplish without equipment…makes me wonder why I pay all that money for the gym…



Favorite Links

+I can’t thank you all enough for your kind words and well wishes on my guest posts for the Wedding Party Blog – it’s been so much fun sharing ideas and even more fun researching them!! If you haven’t already – you can read my post here

+This little girls voice will blow you away. 

+ These 20 Bobby Pin hacks that have me itching for some pretty new pins. 

Favorite Night

My girls Amanda and Christina had me in a giggling fit on Monday night as we had a group text going while watching The Bachelorette! Amanda’s fiancΓ©, Mark, provided even more color to our conversation with his one-liners!! He’s a gem that one!! 

Favorite Inspiration Pin

While we don’t have a fireplace in our current apartment – I am in love with turning a non-working fireplace into more functional storage space!! 

Favorite Link-Up

I’m so excited to announce that Meghan and I are teaming up to bring you “Weekending” posts on Mondays!! Due to the long weekend – we’ll be starting this link-up on Monday, June 2nd!! As it get’s closer we’ll have the HTML code and picture available for you all to join ~ we can all use a little weekending in our lives!! 

Hope you guys have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead!

xo,

Biana

    I'm not a fan of bobby pins, so I should check out that link and see if I can get any inspiration, haha. We don't have a fireplace either but I love how creative people are with non-working ones, like the photo you posted! I hope you have a great weekend!

    That song is good. I'm always looking for new songs to download on my iTunes so thanks for sharing. Same goes for those workouts. Trying new workouts can help with motivation too. Come to think of it, new songs to listen to help too haha. Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope that you get some BBQ, and enjoy the extra sleep too! πŸ™‚

    i am so bad with bobby pins, will have to check that out. im always late to the party with songs, that one certainly made me want to dance haha. i like the look of that workout! we have a fireplace and had a poor excuse for a mantel so i ripped it off the wall, lol. now we need to build a new one, and i have seen tons of people build them without fireplaces. fun!

    Bahahahaha…. I love that you guys were group texting about The Bachelorette! That is AWESOME! I say from now on every Tuesday you give us the highlights! ;P

    Oh I'm excited for the weekending link up! I could not believe how many long haired guys were on the Bachelorette! Gross. The first episode makes me cringe a little with all the cheesy awkwardness! Those texts are hilarious though. Have a fab weekend lady!

    That's so awesome you are doing a link up. That's how I found your blog. It's such a great way to learn about other blogs. That fireplace is fantastic! I would love to have one in my house as well. Just to use as storage as well. HA! Have a great long weekend. Hopefully, it won't rain all weekend.

    Best, Mree

    I told myself I would watch the bachelorette, but failed. :-/ Your convo kinda has me wishing if watched it. Lol

    YAY for starting your own Monday linkup! LOVE IT!

    That group text is hilarious! I can only imagine Amanda's fiance's comments because he is quite hilarious by the sounds of it! πŸ™‚

    How awesome of a fireplace usage is that! I love it!

    The full body workouts are the best! I couldn't agree more about spending money on the gym when your able to do at home workouts just as successful! I don't have a gym membership for that reason as well as because I live in the middle of no where {as you already know lol} and it's just too much effort to drive that far to the gym after being gone at work all day. πŸ™‚

    I hope you have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to it as well!!!

    Hey Biana! That is so funny that you posted that song today. I just heard it on the radio in the car this morning and I was LOVING it! I guess I am late to the party, too.

    That fireplace is awesome. I bet you or your hubby could build something similar for not too much money. That would be an awesome DIY!

    Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! xo

    I've been doing workouts at home too and aside from wishing I had a treadmill, you can burn a lot of calories at home! Love that idea for the fireplace, so cute! Have a great weekend!

    yeah!!!!!!!!!! So excited for your new linkup!!! I am so there also because it sounds so fancy pants πŸ˜‰ I just about died rereading those texts! I think that should definitely be a post with those with the accompanying scenes because it was just perfection.
    I love that song btw I was almost going to use it for this week. Doesn't it have such a great beat and vibe to it?
    Love that workout! Have an amazing weekend!!!! xoxoxoxo
