Oh hi 😀
I need to keep things short and sweet today because I’m currently up in the mountains and we’re staying at a place a little further away from town so the internet connection here is super sketchy and I need to get this post up while I can. Lots of great links this past week, so I hope you guys can find the time to check some of them out. Have w wonderful Sunday, and I’ll talk to you when I get back 😀

Great roundup of posts, Amanda…I especially loved the one on why 1200 calories is so wrong- gah if only everyone could read it!! Hope you had fun in the mountains- jealous of that gorgeous snow. As for me, three things I did yesterday are: Went for a run, worked in Starbucks, caught up with a few friends…not too bad for a Monday 🙂
These were AWESOME links, and some were much needed! THANK YOU FOR SHARING LOVE<3
have fun up there. thanks for linking amazing blogging tips!
I know you’ve posted links to Marc and Angel’s blog for a long time now, but I have just recently started clicking the link and I am so glad I finally did. I’ve been struggling with a negative attitude lately and how to change it. I feel like following this blog can really help me remind myself of how truly blessed I am and how important a positive attitude is. Thank you for opening my eyes to this.
I felt exactly the same way when I found their blog 🙂
Followed your links to the critical review of It Starts With Food and the article about why 1200 cals are not nearly enough – loved them both! I’m going to have to bookmark some of these as helpful reminders to myself whenever the blogging or fad-dieting worlds get too noisy about restrictive diets and deprivation. Thanks for highlighting such good stuff.
Isn’t sketchy internet sort of liberating sometimes? When the world’s preventing me from going online, I take it as a sign that my surroundings deserve some undivided attention. Hope the mountains treat you well.
Goodnight, Goodnight, dear Miss Clavel.
Please tell me you know what I’m referring to.
You get me with these links every week. Every single week. I read way too many of them; no surprise there.
Yesterday: I went for a run, outside, in shorts! I worked in the yard and ate gelato.
Today: more running, more yard work and I finally did our taxes. With 2 days to spare, I might add.
But they’re good ones! And if it’s any consolation, I get lost in links too 😛
New Pinch of Yum income report!!!! Totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder, love! Now get home!!!!

Thanks Amanda for the link love :). I hope you’re having an awesome weekend.
I have to be careful reading through these links … next thing you know, I’ve spent half an hour clicking and reading! Thanks so much for including my posts, too. Three things I did yesterday? Took the ACT, sat through an honor’s society meeting, and stuffed my face with key lime pie bars. Three things I’m doing today – find a good book to read (hopefully!!) get some blogging done, and yeah … stuff my face with key lime pie bars again.
Gosh, that scenery looks beautiful! Great links and I’m getting all blushy and warm inside that you chose two of mine to feature. D’awww! Sending you lots of love, lady! Have a great time up at the mountains :D.
I don’t know how you are still doing the snow thing! Haha I’m so glad we haven’t had any recently. Yesterday I ran, got a pedicure, and had game night. Three things today: making cookie bars, went to church, and having family over for dinner. Busy weekend! Thanks so much for the love; I appreciate it immensely, girl!
I really liked all of these articles, thanks for sharing. Have you done a beauty post (personally) in a while? I always love hearing about your personal beauty routine and tips and tricks (have I told you’re gorgeous?).
