Hope you all are enjoying your 3 day weekend! Ninja never gets time off, so he’s at work, and since I do a lot of freelance work, I’m actually working today as well. BUT, I get to do it in the comfort of my own home, with greasy hair and workout clothes on, so I’m pretty satisfied right now.
Random Monday Facts
Fact 1: I’ve been a busy little bee when it comes to spending my birthday money. I saved most of it for a punching bag (coming soon hopefully!!) but I couldn’t help but make a few purchases to improve the workout gear.
3 pairs of workout leggings
I had actually planned on getting some tops, but nothing really called out to me, so I settled for the bottoms instead. Maybe once the weather really warms up there will be some better options!
Fact 2: My obsession with owls is getting out of control. I was standing in line to buy the leggings, and saw this mug staring at me. I lunged for it just as the next open register opened up.
Ignore the horribly chipped nails, I’ll be painting them today. Is that mug not totally adorable?!
Fact 3: My Polar has been acting up on me and I was hoping you guys might be able to offer some advice. It keeps saying “Check Heart Rate Monitor”. I literally just got it a week ago, so it can’t be the battery right? And it seems like it does it only when my workout makes me move a lot, for example it happened during soccer as well as during yoga. Is the chest strap not secure enough or something?
Work Polar work!!
Fact 4: Speaking of working out, I’ve found my newest workout jam. I heard it during one of the NBA Allstar festivities this weekend, and it is seriously SO good.
I’m not a Fall Out Boy fan by any means, but this song is like nothing they’ve done before in my opinion, and I love it!! I seriously rock out to it when I’m working out. It keeps me going. Go listen!!
Fact 5: My lips have been crazy chapped lately. Not like peeling chapped, but super dry. I’ve been buying chapsticks at every store I go to, but so far this one has my heart. It has just the right amount of red tint to it, it smells like cherries, and it glides on smooth. I’ve been using it nonstop!
Fact 6: I’ve got a little something in the works, that I am going to need your guy’s help on. A few people already know about it, but it’s still in it’s baby stages, so I’m not quite ready to shout it from the rooftops. It has however, kept me busy doing a lot of baking.
Cookie anyone?!
And now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for I’m sure. It’s time to announce the giveaway winner!! I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for entering, and I loved reading about all the ways that you guys have been spreading the love. I hope you continue to do it in some way everyday!
The winner is….
Email me your information so I can get your package out my friend!!

Any recent shopping splurges?
Got any advice for my Polar problem??
I just had a shopping splurge yesterday! And it was to buy myself a new Polar HRM, because mine has finally gotten too wonky. It wasn’t registering things correctly at all. It’s also pretty old and has been beat up over the years, so I’m okay with moving on. So hopefully, the new one will be here soon! I’m excited, as I do like Polar products.
loving those capris, so sweet. perfect for everything. I love finding random finds around on sale, I tend to be that browsing type person.
Noooo idea about the HRM because you know how I feel about them
I will, however, take one of those cookies! I’m super excited about your project and I can’t wait to hear more about it. As for shopping splurges… yes 
Seems like I can never pass up a good beauty buy… Last time it was a bottle of rosewater and a deeeeelicious smelling soap and roll on perfume. I’m sorry but not really 
I just got a Polar watch too (a different model though) and I am not liking mine at all. I probably need to sit down and figure it out…sorry I can’t offer you can help!
P.S. Cookies look yummy! Cheers!
If you ask me there was no way to NOT buy that mug. One can never have enough owl-y stuff and from what you wrote it was basically jumping at you
. Now if only I was able to find one of them around here.
Having just returned from a weekend in Berlin it’s safe to say I splurged a little (more). But hey, there were some items – namely cute shirts and Daiya vegan cheese – that I can get nowhere else soo … How could I resist
?!
Good luck with whichever project you’re working on! I’m curious to hear more about it (soon?)!
I got my HRM a month ago and it was acting really weird (registered my HR at 230 bpm just standing still!) and I found out the factory battery was running out. Changed it and it works like a charm!
I wanna try that lipbalm! And that’s some super cute workout wear, my dear
Oh man that mug is so cute!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fall Out Boy!! I wanted to see them this summer (for the 4th time!) but they sold out too quick!
loveee the mug… I’m not even a big fan of owls, but it’s so adorable!
Hi I am a Polar Ambassador. It could be one of 2 things… Your strap is not tight enough or you aren’t getting it wet enough. That should never happen. Please contact me if you need any help at all. I am sweatpink and my facebook page is mindys fitness journey. Let me know if that helps… it should. If not we will figure it out.
I love owls! There can never be too much of an obsession with them! And thanks for the new song for my workout playlist!
I saw your pants photo on instagram and was like dayyummm homegirls gotta niceee booty!! HAH! I hope that’s not weird..or creepy. SO JAZZED I WON!! E-mailing you now!!
