Loved the 30 Rules to Lift Like a Girl, totally reposting! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Every time I come to your Link Love, I tell myself I’ll only click one or two posts … and then I click 800 ;). They’re just so good ! Loved the fruits and veggies one this time. Thank you, and hope you’re enjoying Vegas!
I love your link love posts, do many interesting articles to read! I wouldn’t ever come across all of these myself.
Hievt, many links don’t work actually. Could you habe another look and re-post them? E.g. The one about the honey face masks.
Eep sorry about that! That’s what I get for reading in a rush. Should be fixed 🙂
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Thanks for the link love girl! 🙂 I hope you’re having a fabulous trip!
3 things I did Saturday: went to the farmers market, had dinner with JZ’s family, and watched Breaking Bad
3 things I did Sunday: went to the gym, went shopping for shorts, and tried a new recipe from my Refresh cookbook!
Wait, what? Bananas are technically herbs. Mind blown.
I hope you had a wonderful time in Vegas.
And tomatoes are vegetables. Who’d a thunk…
Kettle my corn.
MIA….Spoons. Find her.
Yayyy great links, girlie! And I hope you’re staying safe <33

Another awesome post! I’m especially drooling over the blueberry muffin smoothie! YUM! As for what I’m doing…I already went to Sprouts to score some much-needed food goodies. Now, I’m watching the World Cup Final – woohoo! And later, I’m gonna squeeze in a workout and devour some gluten free chocolate birthday cake! 🙂 Good day!
I ended up watching the World Cup as well. Craaaaaazy how far those guys end up running during a game…

Thanks for hosting!! I enjoyed your links to breathing and how to save money on groceries without couponing. You always have a great list of places to visit! Have a fun time in Vegas!
Thanks for letting me share my link 🙂
Sounds like vegas is going well 🙂 As usual all these links look great – wish i could get to them all! have fun!
I slept in today too! Had a killer workout this morning and my body’s screaming for a rest day. I’m I obiding and baking! Did you find but free food in Vegas? You should talk about that sometime. I have a lot of friends who have nut allergies and have tough time on the road.
I would, but I don’t tend to do a lot of eating out when I travel. I stick to places that I know are safe, like Chipotle for example, and then just either pack my own food or stock up while I’m there…
Great round-up! Some of your links under “happiness” are messed up. Just add the http:// before the link 🙂
Yay for sleeping in!!! When in Rome… err, Las Vegas!
Yesterday: Welcomed my parents back from a 10 day cruise, ate rum cake from Puerto Rico, and spent so much time with my mom because I’ve turned into such a momma’s girl. Lol
Today: Going to a local produce store (hopefully), local Whole Foods visit, and possibly playing some Mario Kart tonight at a friend’s house. WOOT!
Eeee! Mario Kart used to be one of my favourite games to play. I haven’t played it since the N64 days, but I remember having sleepovers at my friends’ place and basically staying up all night to play. Good times 😀
Hope you’re having a blast in Vegas… I’m sure you are! I always enjoy reading Pinch of Yum’s traffic and income report. Those posts are always full of awesome info!
Ahhh I miss you!!!
Yesterday: went to the beach, bought a new bathing suit, picked up Mexican for dinner.
Today: cleaning my apartment, doing laundry, running out to do a few errands. Super exciting day today, clearly.
How do you find the time to read all of those articles? I’m busy enough just writing a post!
It’s definitely a bit of a commitment, but they don’t take that long to browse when you fall into a routine 🙂
Aww I am always so honored when you share a link to my posts. Thank you…I hope you are having an amazing time – I miss you! I totally want to make that blueberry muffin shake, I pinned it the other day! Three things yesterday- long run, beach, sushi and great company at night…Today – recovery run, hopefully Red Mango and hanging with my son.
