Friday Finisher 8/9/13

Published: Aug 9, 2013 · Modified: Jan 13, 2020 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Okay... I am pretty sure this was the fastest week yet! How is it possible Friday! Crazy! Well do I have some news for you!...I got my license! I am officially a licensed driver, o how happy I am. I can not even tell you how nervous I was, I had been dreading the test for weeks, I was so scared. But at the start I calmed myself down, took some deep breaths, and just acted like this was a normal practice with my mom in the car. However, I wish they would just test you on actually driving, like on the highway, when there are other people around. Not stupid parallel parking and K-Turning. Really how often will I parallel park....probably never. I will look for a normal spot 😉 Well anyway I am ecstatic! Nothing will wipe the smile off my face today! Happy Friday Friends!

SS Posts from the week:

Monday: Power Monday #5 Self-Love

Tuesday: Ode to Plant Fusion + Giveaway

Wednesday: My First WIAW: Current Favorites

Thursday: I want to be a Group Fitness Instructor

Blog Posts I loved this week:

+ How to Make the Switch to a Healthy Lifestyle

Kristy sums up Healthy living perfectly in this post!

+ 100 Wise Words

This is cute! Great to remember.

+ "Natural Flavoring"

I am so sick of trying to explain to people that when products say "Natural Flavor", that's not really what it means!

+ Best Vegan and Vegetarian Protein Sources

Yummy animal-free proteins!

+ 10 Fast Facts About the FDA Gluten-Free Food Labeling Rule

I was so happy to hear this last Friday. But we still need to do more. Regulated voluntary labeling is great, but we need mandatory labeling like the other top allergens!

+ 35 Push-Up Variations

I love when Taylor does these posts on variations of a simple move. I love Push-ups and some of these I will have to try!

+ Eating Big: 5 Tips for Adding (Good) Calories to your Day

I know I definitely need to work on bulking up my calorie intake.

+ Nothing But a Number

Our society focuses way to much on numbers! We are all so much more then that.

+ Doing Enough

Do you tell yourself you aren't doing enough or you need to do more?

A few things I loved about my week or am grateful for:

+ I loved how fun it was to take all my yoga-selfies last weekend. They reminded me how beautiful the body is and how I need to appreciate my own body.

+ 61 days (and going strong) of being (eyebrow and eyelash) trich free.

+ Finally got my hands on a box of my favorite Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers! They are so are to find these days...and so expensive when I do.

+ I got the first draft of my Common App college essay typed up! Now it's time to do some serious editing...

+ And of course...getting my License!

So Tell me:

Any good posts or pins from the week you want to share?

Have you ever taken "Yoga-Selfies" or had a yoga photo shoot? It is so much fun to do!

    I adore that dress also, and think it would be so fun to make your own cornflakes. Also, I am so in love with your blog theme. I have been on the look out for a new one, do you mind if I steal it? 🙂

      I know, I had such a hard time finding a good theme. But I guess you can't ask for much when you don't self-host, haha!
