I wish I had an amazing intro to start off this post, but I’m currently up in the mountains my wifi has been a little bit sketchy, so I need to get this post up asap before it goes down again. Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend! Talk to you soon! 😀

Thank you for sharing my post on foods to reduce anxiety. I very much appreciate it, and now since I’m a week behind, I’m going to bypass the links today. I know you understand. 🙂
As someone who really doesn’t pay attention to make up much, I liked that Buzzfeed article! I like someone to just tell me what to buy rather than figuring it out myself haha.
you forgot me!!!!! i had healthy bites ready for you. I want the mountains and little wifi. hehe
Really liked the five apps for blogging! I kind of just use native things but it’s always great to know what tools are available 🙂
Yesterday: brunch, napped from taking a red-eye home, went out to dinner
Today: long run, had a lovely breakfast cooked for me, now some blog/work stuff :/
Today: filmed a recipe video, decorating a gingerbread house and eating dinner by candlelight to celebrate the solstice
Yesterday: recovering from a sleepover (stayed up until 2am, woke up at 8 and succumbed to a nap at 3!), bought supplies for a few DIY presents for family, and started brainstorming how I’m going to redo my room!
Congrats on 6k likes on Facebook!

Wow! Banff! I’d love to visit! I love winter outdoor activities! I live in southern Maryland now, but miss my homestate of Maine! Miss snowy New England winters! My approach to a healthy balance is just eating good, real whole foods! A less is more approach! Chocolate is real and whole! Any smoothie with almond butter is awesome too! Merry Christmas!
In the mountains?! Oh sounds magical and festive!! Enjoy!!
Thanks for the link love my dear!!
Yesterday: worked….worked….had like a 10 hour sleep which was glorious.
Today: hanging out with the pug, laundry, coming to see YOU!
On one hand I’m jealous you’re enjoying time in the mountains (snow around Christmas – we won’t get any this year!) but on the other hand it’s all for my best (read: I can’t snowboard in the least and skiing … it’s been too long). I hope you enjoyed a great day in Banff!
Thank you for including my post!
Yesterday: Went looking at RVs, took the kids to kid’s club, and went on a date with my husband 🙂
Today: Went to urgent care, picked up my meds, and going to try to hide in a dark room. We’ll see how that goes.
I work all weekend, but today I am going to the gym afterwards and do some sprint intervals. If the day is slow I hope to catch up on some reading. I also need to finalize my plans for the upcoming week. Can’t believe Christmas is so close!
Great round up as always!! Off to do some reading! 🙂
I agree completely that is really important to see where the healthy advice is coming from. A lot of advice is not that great these days. Thanks for sharing all of these and I enjoy reading and seeing what you are.
I always love reading the Pinch of Yum monthly reports! I Love that they are so transparent with their business. I always learn so much. hope you had a great weekend!
3 things for yesterday: cross training, baking, Christmas movie watching
today: lunch with a friend, running, and getting ready for relatives to come tomorrow!
Have so much fun snowboarding this weekend!
Yesterday: packed, travelled 4 hours home on a coach home for Christmas!! had a lovely dinner made by my dad 🙂
Today: braved the supermarket for the Christmas shop, blogging, and starting my law essay (what a mean lecturer!!!!)
Three things yesterday- long run, a little rest and shopping (which produced nothing! I need clothes)…today – easy run, packing for Disney and more shopping!
Enjoy your time in the mountains. Definitely checking out many of those “life” articles today 🙂
Thanks for the link love, friend :-)! I loved Meg’s post too…all about the holistic approach! Three things I did yesterday include go for a walk, morning coffee date with a friend and attend a Christmas party at night! You know it’s the holidays when you have spent more time out than at home!
I’m excited to see your photos from Banff! Have fun!
Yesterday: picked my my sister from the airport, bought furniture, cleaned the house
Today: Finish cleaning the house, work, watch Christmas movies
Great reads as usual! I think I discovered Pinch of Yum through your weekly links and they provide really great information. Look forward to checking out that article about stress too. Happy Sunday!
Have fun in the mountains! I’m swimming today, wrapping presents, blogging and my parents arrive from WI!
Tehheeee! Glad you enjoyed my recipe, those are definitely the best combinations! Anything with white chocolate is a win in my book, but add the tart of cranberries, mmmmm! Thanks for including me. Cant wait to check out your other links!
