OOTWW & Triple F Friday #15

ootww

Clearly looks like I didn’t want to look at the camera this week. Oops? Whatever I like the outcome. As for today’s photo, I was trying to show you a new hair style that I learned off YouTube. The woman doing the tutorial had much longer, thicker hair and it came out pretty retro looking on her. But on me, it’s a completely different outcome, and I still kinda like it, even if it is pretty messy looking lol.

back-of-hairIt’s been a chilly week, but I don’t mind it one bit! It’s a different type of cold up here in Ontario than it is back home in Newfoundland. You immediately warm up as soon as you’re inside on the ‘mainland’. It’s a drier cold that sucks every bit of moisture out of my skin, which causes mild yet annoying eczema on my poor skin. But I don’t mind the weather, so you’re not bound to see me complain about it any time soon.

Hope everyone had a good week. I have a busy weekend ahead of me! I plan on going out to get some veggies tomorrow at a local market with Stephanie. Then head to another city to see my Mom’s Aunt and also her granddaughter (my cousin Vanessa!).

What are your plans?

Onto Triple F Friday:

Community_ChrisStoutenberg_rotatorChris Stoutenburg (@stouty_13 on twitter) was featured in the CrossFit forums last week, an incredible read. “A month after he started CrossFit, Stoutenberg accomplished something doctors told him would never be possible.” . Read the full article.  He can do the Fran WOD in less than 9 minutes. I think my time for Fran was 13+. That’s what I call beast-mode. Love it Chris! He also has a YouTube channel.

ROJRunning-Valentines-Gift-Exchange-2013Julie is doing a Valentine’s Day gift exchange. How fun is that?

My friend, @fivetimemommy needs to change her username to six time mommy! Go ahead and congratulate her on her 6th pregnancy!

Megs pipesIt’s Meg’s 50th High Five Friday! Plus she had some gains (literally) this week, and I want to personally congratulate her on her successes.  Look at those pipes.

Brittany blogs about: You may need more calories than you think.

krystenKrysten is going in for surgery for her robot heart next Friday. She’s a positive one, and I love her for her.

Morgan shares about what she learned about detoxing.

OOTWW

I wasn’t entirely planning on taking yesterday off blogging, or taking the entire week off working out. It’s Christmas, that’s all the excuse I’m going to use right now. I am officially on Christmas vacation! So long, desk.

my-desk

Until January!

Plus, I finished the 50 Day Push Up Challenge on December 20, and I’m SO SO happy it’s done. But at the same time I feel like there is something missing. I had been doing them all on my knee’s for the past 50 days and it was rough going. Eventually I want to do them off my toes. I think on January 1st, I’ll re-start the 50 day challenge and do them from my toes. Yikes. I feel like that’s so much more hardcore.

Better late than never: my OOTWW (Outfit’s from the work week) posted up along with my Triple F Friday being a wee bit late posting tomorrow. It’s been a busy hectic week, and I may have laid down in Alfie’s pet bed once or twice! No shame.ootwwStay tuned for my Triple F Friday to be posted in the morning. I’m going to head to bed and watch “Double Dexter!” which means… two episodes of Dexter, haha! We’re on season 3. 

See you in the morning for a giveaway! :)

OOTWW & TripleFFriday #7

I am beyond excited for tonight’s activities!

If you were checking into my blog on a daily basis you would’ve seen that I told you about the Sport Chek’s Face Off Tennis game that’s happening tonight in Toronto. I’m leaving work early, to attend with the Boyfriend. All thanks to Sport Chek! How great is that?

So, just a quick outfit’s of the work week — then jolly on to the Triple F Friday post!

But before I start. Brett Wilson tweeted at me. Swoon! All thanks to Casie lol. It happened on Monday, and my week? …. My week was made. Canadians will know him from the show The Dragon’s Den. He didn’t say much. But that’s okay, he still at-ed me. I know that’s not a word.

Hilary looks awesome in the bright fall colours. She also moved into a new place!

I told Meg I loved the new bangs on her. I said that she’s so pretty I could stare at her all day. Creepy, huh?

My friend Jeanine started blogging again! I’m so excited. One day I’ll meet her — I mean, she’s only in Toronto!

Head on over to Valerie’s blog and send her some love. Her Boyfriend is off to BC for work again, and they’re going to be apart until April! :(

I get a lot of outfit’s inspiration from J’s Everyday Fashion blog. Check out some of her outfits!

Leanne shows us how to get long lasting make up.
