Weekending

Good Monday morning lovelies!! I love calling these weekend posts “weekending” mostly because it makes me feel as if I summer in the Hamptons and tote around Hermes Birkin bag!! But I digress…

The weather could not have been more gorgeous this weekend so we jetted off to Marblehead which is about an hour north of the city! We didn’t prepare well enough for the trip or we would have eaten at The Landing instead of the little pizza place we ended up with! Such a letdown when you’re so hungry and the food is just blah (anyone else ever feel like that?)

Marblehead is a beautiful coastal town with even more beautiful houses…seriously we drove around and saw at least a dozen houses with tennis courts in their yards!! 

Beach Selfie!

So happy to be able to knock this one off the to-do list for the year!! My first race and I would totally say it was a success! I didn’t fall – that’s all I was after! 

It’s one of the fun races to do in Boston – after you’re done you’re greeted with a glass and set on your way to the beer stations! Well deserved hydration! 

How I felt after an hour on the couch and trying to get up to walk…

 ~Random Find~

I found these naan crisps at the grocery store – addiction has started!! We will be finishing the bag in no time…So good! 

Andi’s season of The Bachlorette starts tonight and I could not be more excited!! You’d think after 10+ years of watching this show it would get old, but somehow they always pull me back it! Do you think you’ll watch?

~Monday Mantra~

I got my eye on these beauties

Hope you have an awesome start to your week!! 

xo,

Biana

    I'm jealous of your weekend! I agree though there is nothing worse than being hungry and having the food not be that great!

    Oh the Hamptons.. I'm from Long Island and I'm like yeah they're just a bunch of cute little beach towns.. haha. They are beautiful though. One of my good college friends is from Marblehead. I've only been there once with her, but it is was pretty. Nice job on the race too, and that beer looked pretty good too haha. Glad that you had a good weekend. πŸ™‚

    YAY for not falling… although that would've been funny. ;P
    I'm skipping out of The Bachelorette. Juan Pablo just ruined the whole franchise for me. :/

    I love love the north shore. It's so pretty! Also you're really luck you got into the 5 miler, the spots fill up really quickly because it is supposed to be the most fun and yaaay for the Bachelorette back on Monday nights!

    Congrats on your race! Looks like it was a success. I haven't decided if I'll be watching the Bachelorette yet or not this season … I really couldn't stand Andi during the last season, but then again – I couldn't stand anybody because it was Juan Pablo!

    Congrats on the race B! Seriously awesome that you get to drink a bunch of beer afterward. I will be watching the bachelorette with you tonight but I'll be 3 hours behind. Juan pablo sucked but I'm hopeful this season will be better.

    Love weekending! It definitely makes me feel fancier. haha! That beach looks beautiful. You are so lucky you have places like that you can drive to for the day! The only bachelor/ette season I've watched was JP and Ashley and I loved it. I might have to give this season a try again! Sounds like a fun weekend! Have a good Monday girl!

    Ughhhh I had the best reply written and then it like refreshed and I lost it!!!! πŸ™ Anyways I will try to remember all that amazingness. Yeah so excited for your 5k! All the 5k races that I've done in the past my most favorite ones are the ones that end with beer. I never thought I'd ever want a beer after working out….but that was definitely debunked after my last 5k beer run πŸ˜‰ Weekending sounds so fancy like going to the Cape or the Hamptons definitely keep it around! xoxoxo

    The only reason I really like watching the bachelorette is to see the clothing. So I hope they dress her well this season!

    Marblehead looks so nice! How fun! I watched a few minutes of the Bachelorette but I couldn't get into it this year. She kind of rakes my nerves.
