Recently, I started receiving questions from readers where I purchase certain items or which ‘fill in the blank‘ items are my favorites. So twice a month (more if I’m feeling ambitious), I’ll share with you a new feature on the blog, the Friday Five. What is the Friday Five? The Friday Five will be five things/places/books/websites/etc. that I highly recommend or am loving at the moment. Kind of like Oprah’s Favorite Things…except I’m not giving any of these away. Sorry, no cars for you or you or you!
So here we go with the first edition of the Friday Five!
Graphic Tees/Tanks
These have become all the rage lately, and I’m such a sucker for these fun items. Listen, anything that gives me a little extra motivation is right by me! My latest purchases are from none other than Target. But of course, right?

- Perfect to add to my ‘Gym Collection’
-
- Because duh, ALL THE FOOD.
-
- A good new mantra, no?
Protein Bars
Y’all. I’m serious here. If you haven’t tried Quest bars, then you haven’t lived. Okay, so maybe you have and really, I know…there’s no possible and exact replacement for homemade chocolate chip cookie dough. BUT, if there was to be a good replacement that could actually be good for you, it would be the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor Quest bars.
I’m serious. The very best kind of friend told me about these bars and she let me in on a secret, they are best when slightly warmed up. Just remove it from the wrapper and microwave for 8-9 seconds. OH MY YUM. Cheating clean has never been so good! Order them by clicking here.

Motivational You Tube Video – This Girl Can
A video celebrating women of all ages and sizes doing their thing, in the way that fits them and their passions the best. I have watched this video over and over again. It’ll motivate you!
That’s it for the this inaugural edition of the Friday Five. None of these brands or people have sponsored me to share these, they’re simply the things I love lately!
