Five Things Friday

The weekend is here and here are 5 things I have been loving on this week!


1.Flowers in the bathroom.
My sweet husband brought me beautiful pre-Valentine's roses.  Then we remembered we have a kitten.  Who loves water.  My flowers are now locked in the bathroom.

2. Shopping!
I never shop for clothes.  So when I do...I binge shop!  Is that a disorder?  
I went to the Orlando Premium Outlets today in search of a V-Day gift for Kyle and some new bras (can I say "bra" on a blog?) from the Victorias's Secret outlet.  I got a V-Neck Pink bra for $6.99!  That's a good deal!

Nike outlet <3

Kenneth Cole - I want this for work!

I also got 3 great summer dresses from Charlotte Russe.  It's February, but it's 80 here.  I'm ready to bust out the flip-flops.

Can you stop the creeper?

And now there's two!

3. Smith machine squats.
These hurt, but they are a GREAT exercise for your glutes and core.

If you've never used the Smith machine ask at your gym for a quick lesson and maybe a spot.  Start with just the bar, then up the weight.  And GET LOW!

Here's a fun and Pinterest friendly rep scheme to try. This will work your inner and outer thighs, glutes, quads, and core.

4. Clif Z Bars
I mentioned these yesterday, but YUM-O! I have only had the one since I bought them, but I look forward to them as a sweet treat on a day when I need some extra calories.  The chocolate chip tasted just like a cookie!  No high fructose corn syrup plus vitamins and calcium makes it a "health-ified" treat.
5. The Real Housewives of Orange County

Our second favorite housewives are back and we are enjoying our guilty pleasure!  I love all the hair extensions and false eyelashes!
