MakeupMonday: Top to bottom

First off, I'm having a good hair day today, so I thought I'd share it:

Best of my Pinterest boards

As you may have guessed, and like almost everyone I know, I'm obsessed with Pinterest. As it's gotten more popular, it seems harder to weed through the ho-hum stuff to find the truly great pins. But a treasure hunt makes it even more fun, am I right?

So here are the best of my boards (according to the number of times they've been repinned):

Paris (All things French looking and travel related):

WednesdayWellness: To run or not to run

I have 4 hours and 39 minutes to decide whether or not I should run in the Fargo Marathon this spring. It's only 10 weeks away, so I would definitely not be doing the full. But not running for more than a year and gaining 20 pounds doesn't give me much hope that I could even finish the second.




So who's with me? Anyone else want to train to run the Fargo 10K with me on May 17. If you don't live here, want to train along for a race near you?

I'm shooting for the 10K. It's 6.2 miles, which really isn't that far — if you're in shape. I'm researching some different training regimes, and I think I could make it if I actually stick to it. And isn't working out so much easier when you have your sights on a goal.





I'd like to start a weekly post where we update each other on our progress and have an open discussion about getting in running shape. Each week we'll issue a challenge for the whole group and hold ourselves accountable.

So here we go. Let's do this. I'm going to call it "10k in 10 weeks."



WardrobeWednesday: Bright colors for spring

Even though I basically live in black clothing (today to work I wore all black, only to come home and change into all black "comfy" clothes), I am so jazzed about the bright colors popping up everywhere this spring.

I may cloak myself in noir, but I'm not afraid to accessorize with the rainbow. 

Here are some of my favorites:
