Five on Friday {June 23rd}

Hey y'all,

I can't believe it but it is Friday again! I felt like this week flew by. It is officially summer now, and NC has been very hot and humid but I am thankful we are not in the line of Cindy's path. For all of you dealing with the tropical storm I hope that you stay safe this weekend!

one. Barre3 Anywhere.

I know I blogged about it before but my favorite barre studio, Barre3 is opening another location in the Triangle in Chapel Hill. I have been loving taking the pop-up classes and I can't wait for the studio to open up in August/September. In the meantime, B3 just announced their summer challenge of #B3Anywhere, a 28 day challenge focused on movement and healthy eating. You can sign up for the free challenge here. I will be doing a mix of B3 online, DVDs and pop-up classes for my three class a week goal. I am also excited for all the yummy meals they have planned out. If you want to try Barre3 out, they have released five 10-minute workouts that are perfect for traveling here.

two.

I am still holding on to the no spend six months and I will share my progress with you next week but that doesn't mean I still don't window shop on occasion. I have been loving the new arrivals at LOFT especially this skirt, this dress, this skirt, this dress, and this top. Also, I think everyone needs this swing dress.

three. Cultivate.

If you are not a fan of Southern Weddings Magazine, you probably have not heard of Lara Casey. Lara is the founder of the mag and the creator of Power Sheets and the Write the Word journal through the company, Cultivate What Matters. On Tuesday, Lara's second book, Cultivate, launches and I am excited to read the story. I am even attending the book launch this Saturday, here in the Triangle with Traci. 

four. Desk Free Lunches.

The last two weeks I have really been attempting to break away during lunch and not eat at my desk. With the heat and humidity it has been hard but it has made me take the whole hour and enjoy fresh air away from my emails. In this time I have been able to listen to an audio book and get half-way though another book. I also come back to work feeling more refreshed.

This was Wednesday's lunch view.

five. Wedding Sneak Peaks.

This week I saw a few photos from my bestie's wedding and I can't believe it has already been four weeks since she walked down the aisle. I also realized that I haven't shared anything about the wedding yet! I promise that once the professional pictures come in I will share all the gorgeous details.  In the meantime, here is a picture of me and the bride during the reception!

Link up with April, Christina, and Natasha.  

Also linking up with Tif, Becky, and Katie.
