It’s Friday!!! Do the Friday dance!
No? No?
Okay, fine. If you’re moving a little slowly this morning, let’s spice things up and talk about things we all adore! By now you know how this whole thing works!
Below you will find a list of things I’m loving lately and I’d love to hear all about what is making you happy these days in the comments section.
Let’s get rollin’!
Things I’m Loving Lately
- Pet Rescue Instagram or Facebook Pages
I love it when social media is used as a tool for good! If you are looking to rescue a pet, check out Facebook or Instagram to stay up-to-date with rescue organizations near you! If you are a vizsla lover, check out Vizsla_Rescue on Instagram. The feed is constantly updated with sweet vizslas like Beau from Jonestown, Texas (pictured above) who need homes all over the United States.
If you love Shark Week as much as we do in our house, you might enjoy this shark quiz Ryan and I found on CNN. The fact about tiger shark babies = FREAKY!
- My Favorite Old Navy Running Pullover
Thank you so much to the fabulous Shawna for letting me know that my favorite Old Navy running pullover is available again! I bought it in gray last January and wore it waaay too much, so I jumped at the chance to get it in black when Shawna told me it was for sale on their website again. (I used the code ONSAVENOW to save 15 percent, too! Gotta love that!) I completely agree with the reviews from other buyers who said it is slimming (it’s tighter in the chest, but skims over the tummy) and it’s perfect for layering on top of a tank or t-shirt in the colder months.
- Cinnamon Pecan Bark
Oh Publix, you’ve done it again! I found this cinnamon pecan bark in the bakery section of our local Publix earlier this week and could not keep my fingers out of the bag.
For the second week in a row, these sandwiches have popped up on our dinner menu. They’re ridiculously easy to make and so, so good!
This is a fun one for my fellow Friends fanatics out there! I got 8/10 and am not sure whether I should feel proud or ashamed.
Lips like butter! I love this stuff and keep it in the nightstand beside my bed so I remember to layer it on before I go to sleep. It makes my lips feel super soft and it’s definitely a new favorite!
Based on a recommendation from my friend Brittany, I purchased this hairspray a couple of months ago and it’s now my go-to hairspray. I use it whenever I curl my hair and, assuming the humidity in Florida isn’t horrific, it really does help keep my curls or loose waves in tact.
- This Photo from a Maternity Photo Shoot
I found this gem on Pinterest and could not stop laughing… mainly because I know it’s something Ryan and I would totally do. We’re not expecting a baby any time soon, but I can assure you that if we ever did the whole maternity photo shoot thing at our house, Sadie would wiggle her way into 99 percent of the photos.
Past Things I’m Loving Friday posts:

That maternity shoot photo is too funny! I love photos that really incorporate the dog as part of the family. Probably because I’m a crazy dog lady myself!

Old Navy has some great active wear! I was just there the other day and picked up some good stuff. That pecan bark looks amazing!
Since the colder weather hit, I’m loving that I have an excuse to wear my scarves! 🙂

Erin @ The Almond Eater says
Haha! That maternity photo is awesome. Thanks for sharing the rescue dog instagram…I would Love love love to get a rescue dog someday, so I’ll have to check that out. Have a great weekend!
Kathryn says
I love that you’re doing the Friday things you love! Where do you find the long tank tops that I’ve seen you wearing in other posts? Now that it’s getting cooler I’m wearing leggings to workout and would like to find some longer tops to cover my behind. I really love your posts and find them so inspirational. I just signed up for my first half marathon last night!
Whitney @ Pancakes and Tulips says
I took that Friend’s quote quiz a few days ago. There is also a How I Met Your Mother one too. I did way better on the Friend’s quiz– I think I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times. That maternity shoot is hilarious!
Lisa says
That cinnamon pecan bark looks insane! Yum.
I wish I liked that hairspray, I have a huge can of it but I find it makes my hair super dry and built up I absolutely love love love aveda’s air control hair spray. It’s amazing.
And now I need to do that Friends quiz. That show will never get old!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
omg I LOVE that pullover! I’ll have to go to Old Navy to try one on!
Holly says
I’m loving the snow Minnesota got a few days ago. I’m sure the fact that it’s arrived sooner means I’ll be sick of it sooner, but right now I think it’s beautiful.
Amy @ fitnessmeetsfrosting.wordpress.com says
HAHAHA OMG I’m in love with the maternity photo! I’m diggin your Old Navy top and might have to try that too 🙂
Thing I’m loving right now- holiday decorations are EVERYWHERE in stores. I wish I was super rich and could buy everything.
Emily says
Like Holly, I am also loving the snow in Minnesota, but I can’t guarantee that I will like it come April of next year! Snow in the fall gets me super excited for the holiday season. (Can I start playing Christmas music yet?)
Lauren says
I definitely just got two of those ON tops! I love the thumb holes and I really hope they’re long because I like lengthy tops. We’ll see how they fit! Thanks for the recommendation!
Livi says
pumpkin spice coffee!
Brooke @ Running In Heels says
I LOVE Vizsla Rescue on Instagram but it makes me want to take all of those precious babies home! I have no idea how I would ever be able to exercise 2 Vizslas at this point though 😉
Kylie says
9 out of 10 on the Friends quotes 🙂 and I cannot believe I missed the first one! I guess the first step is admitting you have a problem…
Ashley says
Oh my gosh that photo! Absolutely priceless! I can totally see our pup doing that, without a doubt! And I’d cherish it forever, of course 🙂

That Old Navy top looks so comfy and cute! Perfect for going to and from the gym and to wear on casual days.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Awww I love the puppy paws in the picture! I would so do something like that – wonder if mine would sit still long enough to get the picture! Wouldn’t mind my kitties paws in there too 🙂
Rachel @ LouLouBelleBlog.com says
ONSAVENOW – that promo code is no longer valid. SALE is valid through 11/11 for 30% off!
Ashe says
I tried Big Sexy Shampoo but it left my hairy so greasy! Maybe the hairspray is better
Christine says
HAPPY FRIDAY! Ya, I partook in the happy dance!
I have to check out Old Navy sometime soon for there workout gear! I hope they have some good stuff here in Canada too.
I just wanted to say thank you for blogging about the Nike Training App. I have had it on my phone for so long but had never used it until you reviewed it. I tried it this morning and it really kicked this girls butt. It might be part of my Friday Fav’s!
Ashley @ BrocBlog says
That photo is amazing. I took that friends quiz and am proud/ ashamed to say I got 100%
sarah @makingitmyhome.blogspot.com says

I love Old Navy for workout gear! This week I’m loving red lipstick! I never used to wear it but I bought red lipstick for my Halloween costume, loved it, and have worn it almost every day this week.
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Have to try that quiz!!! Whenever I find something I love if I can afford it I buy at least two colours! A rule right there 🙂
Lynz says
Oh my goodness I love that hairspray too!! It’s awesome! Let’s see, I’m loving 5 mile runs in the awesome autumn weather….I’m on peanut butter and apple kick and am seriously enjoying the flannel, legging look this fall.
Anna @ Fitness à la Anna says
I love the quizzes! I am a total Friends fan from back in the day, so I got 9/10 😉
Aurora says
I’ve been loving dates lately! Sadly, this means I go through them way too quickly and am almost always out!
Mary Beth says
ON has really stepped up on their Active Wear! Comfy stuff, but great quality, too! Thanks for the tip on the pullover. I adore their Compression Capris and these tanks http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53934&vid=1&pid=387760212 …. hands down some of my favorite tops out there. I struggle with tight tanks creeeeeeeeping up when I am doing a lot of up and down movements (burpees, squat jumps, etc) … these are great because they have a drawstring to keep the shirt in place and baggy without being “in the way”. (And only $10 right now — WOO HOO!)
Katie @ running4cupcakes says
that last photo is so precious – I am totally doing that with my next baby!!
Courtney @ Don't Blink. Just Run. says
That pecan bark and chicken sandwiches look awesome! And that baby photo is WAY too cute.
I only got 9 out of 10. I’m so disappointed in myself. When it comes to Friends, it should have been 10/10. LOVE that show! 😀
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
Love that running top!! May have to pick one up for myself too!
That family picture is a great one. And I may need to follow that dog rescue feed on Instagram.
elyssa says
10/10….oh the shame….or the pride 😉
Toria says
I just went and ordered the shirt along with some compression pants! The code didn’t work for me though boo 🙁 Oh well, I had a couple gift cards so I ended up only paying $1! Happy Friday to me.
