Happy Sunday, friendly faces! Guess where I’m currently hanging out!
Well, that was earlier in the day and I’m currently sitting in a hotel room typing up this post, but yessssss! A little bit of back pain wasn’t going to keep me from visiting one of my favourite places in the world. The only thing is that I had to pass on the snowboarding (sad face!!!) because I’m pretty sure I would have snapped in half if I attempted it, but I’ll take what I can get!
The weather’s been gorgeous, the sights even more so, and I didn’t get eaten by a cougar or bear, so that’s always a plus. I hope you guys are having an equally as enjoyable weekend, and I’ll see your friendly faces tomorrow! 😀

Sorry about your back pain love! But if you’re going to be in pain, I guess it might as well be in the mountains where you can enjoy nice views. 😉 Hope you had a good weekend!
That looks beautiful! Hope your back is doing better.
Yesterday – got stuck in blizzard, drove slowly out of blizzard, drank a lot of hot chocolate
Today – see the physio, make some cakes out of beans, sing loudly.
🙂
Three things I did yesterday: hung out with my fam, went running….and possibly sprained my ankle 🙁
Three things I’m doing today: saying goodbye to the fam before getting on my plane to oz, last minute packing, and icing the darn ankle!
I’m glad to hear you didn’t get eaten by a bear! 🙂 Looks like the weather was pretty nice too!
Thanks for sharing all of the great links! I love all of the blogging related ones you always find. They’re super helpful!
I just love your pictures of the snow. It actually snowed up in the mountains this weekend. It almost even snowed for my race today (it was up in the mountains). Super bummed it didn’t. Hope you had a great weekend.
Thank you for sharing, missy <3! Three things I did yesterday were watch Selma, finish up some work & meet a friend to discuss a potential collaboration with work later this year.
I’m loving that gorgeous view! Hope you have a great rest of the weekend…
Thanks for including my Pinterest post, Amanda! Have a great week.
I’m so glad you got to make it to the mountains. I think spending as much time in your happy place, especially when you’re potentially under stress, is a great idea. We’re currently getting another umpteenth inches of snow, which has forced me to hibernate today, and ya know what, I like it. 🙂
yesterday- cooked a 10 course vegan feast + raw vegan snickers cake for my grandma’s 87th birthday (!!!), played around with a new artificial lighting setup, and ate celery root for the first time ever (it’s not great)
Today- filming, homework, editing. womp, womp.

Great links, as always! I know what I’ll be doing for the next 30 minutes! haha. Thank you for including my guest post on Cotter Crunch. I’m so glad you found it helpful!
I think my head is spinning in the land of Pinterest right now – thanks for sharing some great reads!
I’m sorry to hear snowboarding’s not in the books for you but glad you got to enjoy the mountains still. Way to make the best out of a not-so-ideal situation!
Three things I did/will do today: Slept waaay too long, now off to catch the sunshine on a walk and then clean my apartment a bit [fun times …].
Yay you made it to the mountain! Sorry you have to sit out on the snowboarding. Better than risking further injury right?? 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Thanks for all the links! I always love coming somewhere and seeing that the work has already been done for me haha 🙂
Hope your back feels better!
Aww so sad you aren’t feeling better to snowboard 🙁 Hot tubs are fun, though!! Yesterday I hung out with my cousin, went to Costco and went out to dinner! Today I ran, catching up on blogging, and probably shoveling the driveway!
Yesterday: went for a glorious (yet freezing) run outside, went suit shopping (unsuccessfully) for my boyfriend, finished a 12 page document on my performance for work.
Today: Pay rent, get outside again for a run, get some laundry done!
Your snowboarding scenery pictures always make me want to take a trip up to Canada! So beautiful!
I hope your back gets to feeling better!! Sometimes its nice to just get away, no matter if it’s not what you planned or not 🙂
Yesterday: 16 mile run, hung out with my friend Emily who just moved to SF from Pittsburgh!!!, got my nails done
Today: SoulCycle with Em, hopefully some shopping, yoga (hopefully)
Thanks for sharing my link – very much appreciated. I am glad you are feeling better! I meant to check in yesterday to see how you were and the day got away from me.
Glad your back was well enough to allow you to enjoy that gorgeous place! Have a great rest of the weekend 🙂
I liked that post by Lindsay too. It was so informative and had great information. I’m checking out a few more of these links now.
Hope your back feels better soon! At least you’re able to enjoy the views. Looks cold!
retail therapy. I hope you bought some tofu.
