March Favorites

March 31, 2017

This month’s favorites are heavily influenced by my birthday, as they should be, right?

1. The Yellowstone NP virtual race medal for the virtual 10k I ran this month came in the mail and it’s BEAUTIFUL, isn’t it? It represents one of the big attractions of the park, the Grand Prismatic Spring which I really hope to visit one day.

2. I picked up one of these Noosa yogurts when there was “free offer” on my Safeway app and it’s really, really creamy and delicious.

3. I received this Mixpresso Milk frother for my birthday earlier this month and it’s so awesome. It heats + froths milk in 90 seconds and it’s super-quiet. I love it. Fancy drinks, here I come.

4. I got these running pants for my birthday as well and I love them. They’re very soft and comfortable and I love the color-gradient in the leg.

5. My MIL got me this beautiful amethyst quadrille silver pendant necklace for my birthday and I totally adore it. I love it because it’s delicate (I don’t really wear big statement pieces) and I love delicate jewelry, and because it’s purple! It’s one of my favorite colors!

6. I don’t bake cakes very often, but I really love a freshly baked marble cake every once in a while. The trick for a great texture in pound cakes is to substitute ⅓ of flour with cornstarch. You should give that a try!

That’s one of the coolest medals I’ve ever seen. I would definitely display that!

Fun post – thanks for sharing! The necklace you got for your birthday is too cute. I love the color purple. :) I don’t wear a ton of jewelry, but I need to try wearing more necklaces since I have some really nice ones.

I just tried that Noosa yogurt for the first time too, it is really delicious! I see what the hype is now! And cake sounds delicious right now!

And what a thoughtful gift from your MIL and beautiful to boot!

I’ve been meaning to try the Noosa yogurts–I see them in Shoprite all the time. Thanks for the reminder :) Hope you have a great weekend!!

That medal is beautiful! Probably the best race medal I’ve ever seen! Do you have a medal rack yet? I recommend getting one as it’s a nice way to display your racing accomplishments!

I registered for a milk frother for our wedding. I figure it will make weekend coffees just a little bit more special! It’s nice that yours is quiet! I’m always up before Phil so having something quiet is ideal so I don’t disturb him more than is necessary!

  I don’t have a medal rack yet, but I need to get on that… :)
  
  A milk frother is the perfect item for a wedding registry for sure!

I would’ve never realized that was a medal! So pretty. Also, I love Noosa. They have a pumpkin flavor in the fall (or maybe year round?) and it’s delicious.

  Oh, I might have to try the pumpkin flavor this fall… thanks for the tip!

I love that medal, too. Have to sign up for that 10k next time. And I love this post format. I kind of “stole” it from you (hope that’s ok), a bit different though, I don’t feature products. Just finished my “Best of March”. It’s spring break, I’m sitting in the sun and enjoying life. Only if my allergies weren’t that bad :-(
Your blog and Instagram are always inspiring. Would you like to meet in person some day? I’d love to.
Have a great day, Kathrin

  Congrats on your 10k! And of course you can absolutely use this “post format” :) I enjoy reading about monthly favorites! I am so glad you got to go home to see the Dom (I’ll be going in May!)… and maybe we can meet up sometime later this summer!? I would love that. too.

San,

I think this is the first time you’ve linked up with our group. Welcome. :)
You have so many wonderful things on your list. Your virtual race medal is gorgeous, and your necklace that your MIL gave you for your birthday sounds beautiful, too. :)

Have a great week hun.
