Friday Finds - January 12th 2018:

Less than one week until Cartagena, Colombia! 

"its not luck"

Its not luck reaffirms that what many of us at this age are working on or the many blessings we come across are not just luck. They have been awarded to us and come to us through years of focus, prioritizing and hard work. I commend you for being at the level you are today and also realizing that there is much room for growth and improvement.

This week I focused on health and fitness as I want to be mentally and photoready 😉for my trip to Cartagena, Colombia next week. Currently my abs are at the best they have been and my legs, arms and glutes are currently sore. I focused on interval training along with planks an squats; and brisk walking along with hot tub and stretching sessions. I should probably make a video for us - I know there are many out there but it will be a fun challenge. Its exciting to notice how endurance builds as the week goes on - I have to resist the urge to do things with my legs instead of my hands when they feel this strong haha.

I also focused on packing for my trip. This required me to look through my summer clothes and sorting/resorting to the essential. Goal is only 1 carry-on. I could use a carry-on solely for shoes! Yet goal remains. Be on the look-out for a packing tips & tricks article coming up soon. 

This week I accepted an invitation to be a bridesmaid for one of my oldest best friends. Image below is an acceptance!
