Hello, hello from the gorgeous Canadian Rockies!
I think I may have mentioned [a few hundred times] how much I love it up here? Because it’s seriously one of my favourite places in the world to be. My only complaint is that the internet connection can be absolute garbage, which wouldn’t normally be a problem since I’m here to enjoy the great outdoors anyways, but I’m also trying to show some link love, which is hard to do when you’re browsing the web and it takes you about 2 minutes to load every.single.page…
Needless to say, this week’s list is a little shorter than it normally is, so I’d love it you could help me out by adding your awesome links to the linkup! Love you much! And see your friendly faces soon 😀

Three things you did yesterday; three things you’re going to do today. Go!
Yesterday: drove up to the mountains, got lost in the woods, and spent most of the evening in a sauna and hot tub.
Today: playing it by ear! But it ends with making the long drive back home 😥

Thanks so much for the link love doll!! Happy weekend!
I loved that post on FueledByLOLZ! So so true haha.
I really like that article about looking at architecture at different angles. I remember especially when I studied abroad in Paris and I saw the Mona Lisa for the first time and was in awe of how small it was! Same with the Spanish Steps in Rome – completely different from what you expect based on pictures 🙂
So many good links! This is making me wish I had a bit more time for blog reading. 🙂
Mmm. Thanks so much for including mine! The mountains are so gorgeous that I would probably want to live there if I were you!
Whenever a page takes SO much time to load, I end up just bagging the whole idea. I have no patience when it comes to social media. Lol I’d rather just not deal with the headache than put myself through (pointless) torture!
Yesterday: Finished decorating my brother’s cake, got a new Eagles’ shirt, and celebrated my brother’s birthday
Today: EAGLES GAME
you always have the best links girl!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Now you can make those cookies but chuck almonds in there- actually, just omit the nuts completely 😉
Those views look ridiculous- like a post card.
yesterday: bought a homecoming dress, bought some homecoming shoes, and filmed a new video
today: literally just WORKED (on my videos). I need to head off on a vacation like you!

Gorgeous! And I feel ya on the superrrrr slow internet connections. We just had ours set up today and it’s kind of slow… Looks like I need to get an upgrade already!
Hope you’re having a fabulous time in the mountains love!
Yesterday: went to a good-bye dinner for me, drank wine with friends, ate some pretty fabulous cheesecake.
Today: went out to brunch, organized my clothes for the moves, thought about starting to pack but then that didn’t actually happen. Of course.
Have fun in the Rockies!!
Thanks for the link love!
So jealous of your evening in a sauna and hot tub. That sounds fabulous!
Spending the evening in a sauna and a hot tub sounds pretty ideal, especially since it’s very chilly here and a certain someone (that’d be me) refuses to turn on the heat. I am however typing this in front of a fireplace, while soaking up the flames. Not literally, because that’d be dangerous.
I loved Heather and Carly’s post. I’ve got my own fitness industry one coming soon, if I can ever make the time to write it. Enjoy your mountains; soak it all in.
I love your links! Thanks for sharing and for hosting the linkup!
Yesterday: went apple-picking, went out to dinner with friends, got some schoolwork done.
Today: slept in :), going grocery shopping, making apple crisp/crumble/pie/something!
Enjoy your time in the mountains!
So many awesome things in this post!!! Hope all is well with you 🙂
Ack! Hey girl! It’s so great to hear from you 😀 Hope you’re doing well!
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve commented on your post. Work/school have been super busy these past few weeks but, it was nice to finally catch up on some of my favorite blogs this week-end! Great links as usual 🙂
Have fun!! So so jealous! looks gorgeous!
Hey thanks for sharing my post. I always enjoy the posts you choose because a lot of them I’m extremely interested in as well. They aren’t geared towards just fitness or just nutrition but mental and physical health too.
You always have the best article links. Totally in the mood to read some of the ones under “life.” Enjoy your Sunday 🙂
The Rockies -do- look beautiful and I wish I could magically send my grandpa over here because I know he’s been dreaming about skiing there for a long time. Enjoy your Sunday up there – and a hopefully non-stressful drive back.
Three things I did yesterday: a bike ride with my mum, went to the theate and ate out with my parents, sister, a cousin and friends.
Today: Take the train journey back, almost finish [will likely tonight] a great book and prep some food for the week.
I absolutely enjoy when you do your link ups. Great reads! Today I am gearing for a run, go to church and finally get some R & R.
Beautiful!!! Enjoy your time there!!
Gorgeous views! Enjoy. Thank you for hosting the link up!
Ohh enjoy your trip!
I’ve seen that zoomed out landmark link before and it’s fascinating!
Thanks for the share Amanda! Enjoy the Rockies 🙂
Always soooo jealous of your Rockies trips!!
Yesterday: Slept in!!, skipped my run, hung out with my dad haha
Today: My boss’s baby shower!, going to the gym, meeting up with friends later
Enjoy the rest of your time away! Looks like a great place to detox. You’re lucky it’s so close and you can escape for a short time without too much planning.
Always so honored when you share my posts. Thank you…Three things yesterday- slept in for first time in quite a while, went to temple and spent time with friends…Three things today – went for a run and now getting ready to head into the city for the day which counts as more than one thing because it’s tiring lol. Hopefully it will involve really good food!
Hi Amanda!
I don’t usually comment here but I LOVE your blog. Your photos of the delicious food you make/find makes my mouth water, I LOVE your “link love’ on Sunday. I found a few more great people to follow today because of you!
Have a wonderful day and thanks so much again!
Aww, well thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment, Caren! Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday! 😀
Enjoy the mountains as I sit on my couch and enjoy reading through all of your links! 🙂
