Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! I thought I would share a few things I've been loving lately!

I bought these Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor Thong sandals for my birthday last year, but because of my ankle surgery, I didn't get to try them out until this Spring.

I saw them on so many women in Germany and thought they looked cute with shorts or skirts. Alysha also recommended them to me, so I knew I had to just order them. I am so glad I did because they're comfortable, have arch support and they're so light (especially compared to the Birkenstocks I owned in the late 90's).

They have great arch support! I want to purchase more colors now.

I tried a class called Burn Lab at the gym on Tuesday and loved it! The teacher was actually my yoga instructor from when I did yoga at work a couple of years ago. She is a very young and excellent teacher and I loved the exercises we did. I walked away really sweaty and feeling great! I went on a walk around our neighborhood after to cool down.

I recently read that jumping rope is good for maintaining bone health. I looked around for a jump rope for a while, but finally settled on this one from Target. I adjusted it, but it's still pretty long. I enjoy acting like a kid again by jumping in our driveway!

Hemp seeds in my salads and wraps. I got these in a Conscious Box and I would purchase them again! They're full of amino acids and protein, which is perfect for this vegetarian.

I've been loving blending up smoothies for breakfast and taking them to work. I typically add frozen strawberries, bananas, ground flax, water, almond milk and lots of greens!

The other thing I love this Friday? Having off of work for the next 10 days!
