Hello, hello friends! Happy Thursday! Today I’m linking up with Amanda’s Thinking Out Loud series to share my random thoughts.
1. First off, thank you all so much for your support on my first income report for June. To be perfectly honest, I was pretty nervous about pressing the submit button, but I’m glad I did and was able to offer you guys some helpful tips on what’s been working for me.!
2. With the weather being so gorgeous lately, I’ve been trying to move as much of my exercise outside. A few days ago Kyle and I did a quick track workout before going hiking in a canyon in our hometown (we went home for the weekend).
The sun was shining and there was complete visibility of the ocean. I ended up with some sore calves from the hills and the WORST tan lines ever. And I mean THE WORST.
Remember this workout top?
Yup, that patten on my back. I tan really quickly and have that basically tattooed 4-5 shades lighter than my surrounding skin. The minute Kyle saw it he burst out laughing and I have to admit, it’s pretty bad hahah.
3. Soooo the Brazil vs. Germany game. I think this picture says it all.
4. On the topic of the World Cup, the games always happen to be riiiighht at the time when I’m either in my ochem lab lecture or in the lab itself. I was pretty bummed to be missing the game, but was able to catch some of it since my lab teacher streams it on his laptop while we worked. After the fourth goal, though, I couldn’t watch anymore. My ethanol distillation was taking forever so I passed the time texting Amanda lab selflies and browsing Pinterest 😯 . And yes, those goggles are cover my entire face. They also leave the cutest indents on my skin after I take them off. Tan lines and goggle lines that last for a solid 45 minutes… I’m looking’ good these days.
5. Finally reunited with our favorite local Vietnamese restaurant <3.
6. How cute is this?! I was sent a mason jar fruit infuser from the kind people from Balance Bar as part of a review pack for their Summer Shape Up program. More on that in a little, but prepare yourself for a giveaway!
So now not only do I have a cute indie mason jar, but can throw in all sorts of organic fruit to spiff up my water. This makes me hipster, right? 😉
Happy Thursday!
I really feel you on the tan lines! I tan super quickly too and I have the worst shorts/sock tan due to running haha.
Those pictures from your workout look amazing. What a view!
Oh man that Brazil game had me FREAKING out. I kept doing a double take, like “is this for real?” haha My daddy and I kept looking at each other. It was crazy!
And look at you being all adorable on your hike! Since Im a ginger I burn in pretty much .5 seconds, so I have to either cover up or layer on the spf. I watched my little brother play basketball the other day at their hotel for like 30 minutes and my quads are now burnt to a crisp. Ridiculous!
SERIOUSLY. I expected Germany to win (I think they’re gonna win the entire thing), but not slaughter them 😯 .
Hhaaha I haaaate when I wear the wrong top and end up with horrible tan lines. Except mine are more like burn lines so….even cuter.
nothing wrong with being a little hipster
that mason jar rocks. i’m a sucker for mason jar everything!
That mason jar infuser looks AWESOME! I want one!
So, I wish I could say I understand about the whole tan line thing but…no. I spent a solid 2 weeks in Spain + 1 in Italy and returned home exactly the same shade I left in. 😉 Can you say #whitegirlprobs?! I’m too scared to exercise outside. I melt in direct sunlight.
Cute top! Where did you get that? I’m always looking for cute workout gear that’s also supportive. It’s been forever since I had Vietnamese. I think I need some in my life pronto!
I got it from Forever 21 for only about $15- SCORE!
Oooh, I can’t wait to go read your income report now! So excited to finally be catching up on my blog reading today. And I want cute lab selfies of you!! You’re the most adorbs. And I am super jealous that you tan so easily… even if it resulted in hilarious tan lines. You’re the most adorbs. Oh, AND I’m back in California. We need to hang when I get back to So Cal.
I’ve been obsessed with the World Cup. Honestly I sometimes go for a team because the players are hot (um Germany!), but if boys get to watch the VS Fashion Show, than I deserve to watch the World Cup! On an off note, that Brazil fan hugging the fake trophy ended up giving it to a young Germna fan at the end of the game. I saw it on ESPN, and it was arguably the cutest thing I’ve seen this week. Also, I LOVED your income report. I’ve been out of town for weeks, so I’m just checking up on blogs, but that post was incredibly helpful! Also, your mason jar infuser is absolutely adorable. Happy Thursday gorgeous xx
Hahah YES to all those good lookin’ Germans <3. And I'm so glad you liked it! I'm hoping it helps some other bloggers get their start with monetizing
That workout top is the cutest!! I love seeing income reports because I’m just super nosey haha. Thanks for sharing it!
I bet you have some pretty awesome tan lines. My tan lines start out red then eventually tan a little bit. That poor old man. He’s sooo sad! Haha and that mason jar thing is really cute!
Oh my gosh that mason jar is so cute I hope I win! That’s too funny about the tan line! I literally have the worst one on my feet from running shoes. It’s terrible, lol! Those views are absolutely beautiful!
I think those tan lines are a small price to pay for such an adorable top! I seriously love it.
I wish you were my lab partner as well.
That mason jar fruit infuser is just what I need! I love adding fruit to my water
That view is amazing! I have to say, I’ve only followed the World Cup as much as it is on while i’m at Crossfit or in the lunchroom at work!
