5 Things That Made My Week.
1. I chose the coldest night this week (cold meaning 39 degrees) for a night run with the Monster. I layered up, and thanked myself for saving those ridiculously extreme under amour spandex from back in my High School Lacrosse days when we would run in snow/rainy (real extreme) weather conditions in the spring with the snow just wouldn’t melt or stop in Maine. Before heading out the door I loaded up with yummy strawberry chapstick (that I still from time to time think about tasting even though I’m not 5 anymore.) Set pandora to Murs and 9th Wonder and Monster and I ran our little hearts out for 4 miles, loving the fresh cold air.

3. Shopping for food makes my week, every week.

4. Watching movies and drinking vegan hot chocolate with just the Christmas Tree lights on.

5. I went in for a simple bang trim and loved the stylists at Volr Salon so much I ended up staying for a Cut+Color, and treated myself to a Soy Chai Latte from Lola’s Cofee Bar next door.
Ode To Chai Latte
I am not a coffee drinker, I only drink it when I absolutely need to be awake and haven’t gotten enough sleep. It certainly is not in my daily routine. However I have fallen in love with a good Chai Latte {non-fat because I can’t tell a difference in taste either way, so why not opt for less fat?} I crave a chai latte at any hour, but it is even more delicious to me at 3 o’clock in the afternoon during the week. Some days I am so covered in work that I can’t see my way out for lunch time. I almost always make time for a walk down to Cafe Primo for my afternoon Chai Latte. Actually I haven’t had time since I wrote this post, and its killing me.
Ready for the weekend.
