It’s back in full force!
Oh fro yo, I missed you during Lent!
I enjoyed this big cup of frozen yogurt outside after work today with my friend Laurel. We met up in Baldwin Park for a girly early evening of pedicures and frozen yogurt.
I arrived at the nail salon a couple minutes after Laurel and she greeted me with a bottle of light purple nail polish in her hand which inspired me to select a purple polish for my own toes.
As a typically pink polish only kind of girl, I feel quite sassy with my purple toes! I told Laurel I wanted a “European-looking” polish for my upcoming trip (I leave on Wednesday!!!) and we laughed because we have no idea what toe nail polish colors are cool overseas. European readers, please feel free to educate us!
Laurel and I hung out for around two hours before saying our goodbyes. It was great to spend some time with her! Laurel works full-time and is in grad school so she’s a busy bee and I always cherish our time together.
When I arrived back at our apartment, Ryan and Sadie were out on a walk, but fortunately they weren’t too far from home and I was able to meet up with them and join them for a one-mile loop around the neighborhood. The weather this evening is gorgeous. We’re cherishing it while we can because soon the Florida weather will be sweat-inducing within five seconds of stepping outside.
Since Ryan ate dinner while I was out with Laurel, I was on my own tonight. I felt like putting zero effort into making dinner and ended up eating my bodyweight in pistachios and Swedish Fish.
Multiply that serving by eight… or twelve. Maybe fifteen. I couldn’t stop!
I am also happy to report that Swedish Fish are now gone. Those little buggers have been taunting me all week and I couldn’t keep my hand out of the bag!
I didn’t plan to consume nuts and candy for dinner, but both pistachios and Swedish Fish are seriously addicting and I couldn’t stop! I kind of feel a little blah now. I think my body missed vegetables this evening.
Now I’m off to try to take it easy for the rest of the night because the remainder of our weekend is go-go-go!
First up: Ryan and I are heading to Gainesville to celebrate my sister’s college graduation from the University of Florida. I’m so proud!
Congrats, Leslie!!!

Pistachios are oh so addictive. I’ve definitely had one serving turn into 10 before!

You know sometimes meals are just that way and it’s wonderful. Have a great weekend! 🙂
Samantha says

Congrats to your sis to graduating! I can’t believe its been 3 years since I graduated.. feeling very old right now…
Holly says
I’d have to agree that those are probably the two most addicting foods around its just so hard to stop!
And I really like your purple polish!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I love getting pedicures. I am slightly jealous.
Katy (The Singing Runner) says

Megan@eatmybeets says
Ah I love froyo! That looks delicious. And I also love your non-dinner dinners. It seems so… sane. haha
Meg @ pinkgiggles says
I’m typically a pink polish only kind of girl myself :p
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Congrats to your sis! And pedicures are how I treat myself almost monthly! So fun!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I love that you and sister are wearing (almost?) matching boots! 🙂
Swedish fish are totally addicting — well, that goes for any type of chewy candy for me!
Jane says
Spot on with the purple. Some British nail polish company has just released a new polish in honour of Kate. It’s called No More Waitie, Katie AND it’s purple.
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Aw, CONGRATS to your sister on her upcoming graduation! And of course for her upcoming job 🙂
And i love your choice of purple polish, so funky! I’m sure it’s Euro-chic, too
katie says
congrats to your sister!!!! how exciting!!!
have a great night girl!
love the purple toes!!!
Caitlin @ Southern Curls & Pearls says
The fro-yo looks great! You’re smart to put berries and fruit on yours.. I usually can’t stop myself from piling on loads of chocolate, whether that comes in the form of brownie bits, Reese’s, m&ms, etc.. . yum!
And congrats to your sister! 🙂
Jamie @ getalivingsense says

Khushboo says
Ah yum dinner! Soon you’ll be able to have gelato for dinner! 😀
Gen says
Nice color on your toes! I didn’t know the weather in Filorida was harsh in summer, it seems to be a wonderful place!
Claire says
Hey, anything really goes here in England 🙂 The rest of Europe I’m not so sure on as we have a completely different style…
Coral and mushroom/nude tones are in right now where I am! Also, if you google ‘barry m cracked effect’ that will show you the latest- you paint a black layer over whatever colour you’re wearing and it ‘cracks’ in an almost leopard print effect pattern! <3 it.
Enjoy your trip x
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says
Love the nail polish color choice! I can’t believe you leave for Europe so soon–have a great vacation! 😀
Merrie says
Hiya!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now and it always brightens my day! I’m an American in England studying abroad with my fiance and your comment about European toenail trends made me think to warn you- its crazy over here! I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of.. uh, style that surrounds you at every moment when I first arrived this past January. I live in a college town so maybe that is a contributing factor. Either way, get ready to see some crazy/inspiring stuff! Have a blast in Europe and thanks for your great blog!
Claire @ Un Bello Aperitivo says
I love the nail polish color! Last night, while watching Friends, I too ate waaaay too many servings of pistachios. But they were delicious!
Kristen - Anywhere There's An Airport says
I am a red toe kinda girl – though they are currently pistachio green 🙂
I am surprised how many women in Europe don’t paint their toes! At least in Spain! Also strange is the lack of toe showing. Even in the hot summer I will se SO many closed toe shoes. The Spaniard would rather be caught dead than in flip flops! I told him this will change when we move to FL 🙂
Devyn says
Congrats to your sister! This might be strange, but I am currently trying to choose a college as a junior in HS and am looking at Florida colleges! Do you think you or your sister could talk about the pros and cons of your experiences in college?
Audrey Ellen @ My Scene and Herd says
I had fro yo yesterday too! Nutella and Raspberry with oreos.
Morgan says
That fro-yo looks to die for! Congrats to your sister!!
megan says
Love the purple!!! crazy toe colors are the jam!
Holly says
Ooooo purple…you know that’s a WIN in my book 😉
HUGE Congrats to Leslie 😀 That is so exciting! I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I always go for way crazier colors on my toes than on my fingers. Right now they’re BRIGHT coral and I love it…lavender is so pretty too though!!
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says
My nails are purple right now too! I love it!
Congrats to your sister!!!! That is so exciting!! I hope y’all have fun this weekend! :]
