I hope you’re having a great weekend! Before I forget, Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! Mine’s been unintentionally catching up on sleep in an already out of whack sleep routine, but hey, I think I’ve found a solution to bulky scarves.
I always find most scarves are too big for me making me look like either I’m wearing a neck brace Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”
My thoughts are with those caught up and those lost on Thursdays horrific events in Barcelona on Las Ramblas. My beautiful adopted city turned upside down in a matter of moments. Thankfully all my friends are okay. I also want to thank the emergence services and the Mossos d’Esquadra for their rapid response and amazing work. #totsomBarcelona #notincpor #notenimpor
I hope you’re having a great weekend! This week went by in a flash and I didn’t find many moments to stop by to say hi. It can get a Continue reading “Weekend Friday Favourites”
The day some of us have been waiting for is nearly here. Black Friday!
Yes, I have my eye on a couple of things I may have been stalking for the past few weeks. A little shopping list for Sephora, one to two items from Gorjana, a coat and well that’s about it. Fingers crossed they aren’t sold out (and they do have some offers) and that’s how I’m spending my extra curricular activities this Friday. Shopping!

Fluffy house socks are back en vogue! It’s now too chilly to be running barefoot around the apartment. While they may be warm and feature cute rabbit and bear faces I don’t like them! They’re a reminder the clocks go back next week, the cold, short daylight days are coming. Bring back long hot summer days please! 
I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m hoping 3rd time lucky recording my Outdoor Fitness Coach assessment works. Both previous tries, the camera stopped filming after 15mins. It has to be all in one shot for assessment. Then there was my voice. Queue Google searches how to make your voice deeper. I know it’s high, but didn’t realise it sounded like that! It sounds completely different in my head!
Anyways, Weekend Friday Favourites, things I’ve been loving this week or have caught my eye!
Salomon Speed Vario Trail Trainers
I have these to thank for hardly slipping in the mud running last week. Many Spartan runners wore normal trainers and had trouble getting out the mud pits, ponds, baths. Lightweight and comfy, these gripped well and helped on the steep slopes down we had to run or shimmy down crab style, feet first!
I love the fit of these in the longer length leggings for everyday running errands, so I had to try out the capri length. I hardly notice them running or working out. The only thing I’m not so keen on is the high waist band, but they’re easy to roll down. They’re the equivalent to Lululemon Wunderunders and a much nicer price! I was drawn to the go fast strips version and when I purchased them, they were one of their Fit Finds. 1/2 VIP price, if you spend over a certain amount.
Sunspots
A definite sign it’s not longer warm are a few zoo animals seeking sunspots to warm up! The chimps, monkeys, penguins, banded mongoose, kangeroos and Patagonian mara’s were warming up in the afternoon sun this week!
Tiger Disposable Cold Compresses 
I though these were renewable ice packs which is why I got them. Okay, Ice, Ice, Baby may have swung it, however they’re single use and work like the single use hand warmers. Press the inner pouch to activate the cold gel.
Internet Finds. Mostly Nat Geo as usual!
