My Favorite Kinds Of Posts

I have come to love reading blogs for  many many reasons.  I love learning about other people's lives, being able to connect with amazing women across the country, and learning about all kinds of new things I would never know if it weren't for those women.  I have to say that as much as I love connecting with other women, the most favorite thing I love about blogging are all of the new things I learn about.
I love it when y'all share your favorite make up or food.  I love it when y'all share the latest greatest book to read.  Or when y'all share about websites to visit or places to buy things.  Because of you who do this, I have come to find some of my most favorite things.
Because I love this oh so much, I thought I would share some of these women and their posts with you.  Most of these I have tried out or they are on my list to try when I can find some money to do so.  I find each of these women are very reputable in their opinions and anytime they suggest anything I know it will be good!
Nadine from East & is my go to blogger for suggestions on just about everything.  She is always great about sharing her latest greatest finds with her readers and I LOVE that.  This post about podcasts has been my most recent love (I can't turn Serial off!).  And this post on where it find pictures for my blog has been bookmarked and used over and over again by myself.  
Lauren from 34 Magnolia Street has done an awesome job about sharing about clothing subscription boxes.  She has tried out a couple and can lead you where to find more.  This is one of those I have tried as well as want to save some money to keep trying more of them!
Through Lauren's Linkup I found Mandy from Mandy Living Life who mentioned the website Blogging for Books in her post this month.  I had never heard of this site and instantly fell in love when I learned I could get books for free if I am willing to write a review on my blog about the book.  My first book is now on the way:)
We all know that Erin from Living in Yellow is always endorsing some great product.  She always has something to share and something for you to buy.  I have bought some of the items, mostly jewelry, that she has shared and always been impressed. 
Being that I am a lover of running (I started again this week!!) I always love reading Katie's at From Ice Cream to Marathon posts about running products.  She always has something fun to share and giveaway.  And being the avid runner she is, I trust what she says about products! Currently she is reviewing some yummy looking protein smoothies!
We all have our favorite kind of posts and these just so happen to be mine.  I love finding new products to love, just like every other girl out there!  Take a look into these blogs and find some things you love!

Random Thoughts For Tuesday

• Today is a bullet point kind of post day...because I have nothing else better to write.  So instead I have for you some random thoughts that have been going through my mind. 
• I wish I had more ideas for blogging. I can always use suggestions for new posts!
• I signed up for a 5k this weekend and I cannot wait for it!  Not only do I get to run it with Sherry, but I also think this is what I need to help me to keep going and stay excited about my half marathon in October.
• I really miss my besties.  Which is why I am already planning a trip up there in a month.  Even if I  really should be spending that money on my new apartment.  But I love them more so it will totally be worth it.

• Totally and completely lost my train of thought and have no clue what I was going to put in this bullet...
• Oh now I remember what I was going to write...I  love and I am SO beyond grateful for friends who have given different household items to go into my new place.  I'm a poor kid and plus I love redoing things so it is perfect!
• I spent the past weekend moving apartments for my sister.  And I was a bad blogger and took a total of 0 pictures.  Which is why I didn't write about it all...
• One of my real life besties wants to start a blog about her gluten free lifestyle.  She needs a cute blog name.  Any suggestions?  As you can see in the picture below she is fun, cute, and the bestest ever!

Well friends that is all for today.  Hopefully tomorrows post will be much better.  Actually I know it will be since I just got the best idea!

Need Some Inspiration?

Last night while writing this post I had no idea what to write.  Seriously drawing a blank the whole night.  And then I realized that was what my whole day had been like.  Drawing blanks all day.  Did not want to do anything and did not want to go anywhere.

So I think I am in need of some inspiration to get through the rest of this week.  How about you?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I have been loving quite a few things lately, so I thought I would join this link-up and share them all with you!

1. Natural Peanut Butter with Coconut Oil
I put this on an english muffin the other morning and loved it. Super yummy and I hear it is not all that bad for you!

2. That this song came on my Pandora yesterday.

Confession: I love Shaggy. Don't even know why but his songs are amazing and I could listen to him all day:)

3. Our Shower Board

Apparently Pitch Perfect is our new favorite movie to quote. Got any good ones for us to add?

4.  Amazing emails from blog friends telling me they have been praying for me!  Seriously Amy, thank you.  Your amazing and I am SO grateful to have you as a friend!
