New Finds

Hey friends! Happy Saturday! I am having quite a lovely day today which started off with HOT yoga. I turned to twitter yesterday and also texted some friends on recommendations of studios near me. I used to go to one, but since I moved it isn't the closest option. I know there are LOTS of great yoga studios around where I love now, so I wanted to give one a shot! I ended up going to Prana Yoga It was an awesome class! It was 90 min heated, power flow yoga. I felt strong and empowered and totally refreshed after class. I am far from a 'yogi' but once in a while I CRAVE hot yoga. The movement, strength, stretch and flexibility is just something that is so important and so relaxing!

Another great part of my weekend. Some awesome finds! I picked up two pairs of sunglasses for $10 bucks when I went to pick up a prescription from Walgreens. SCORE

Fresh, no?
I think so.
Another great find? Well I had a sweet $10 coupon from Olympia Sports because my birthday is next week, so I snagged a Camelbak water bottle! I hear these are good ones and fun to use. It ended up being $5 with my coupon!
Great for working out!
Oh just some new casual jewlery. Ok I lied. It is not casual, and these are strictly for competition purposes. 4 1/2 weeks!!!!

Speaking of competition. I am zero'ing in on the good fats in the form of oils. I went to Whole Foods today to pick up some flax oil when I spotted this gem
Coconut flavored flax oil! It is 100% pure flax oil with natural coconut flavor. Not only that, but they had banana and chocolate flavor as well! It is BEYOND delicious. If you don't like flax oil--go buy this (and its on sale right now at Whole Foods for $5.99!)
I immediately used some on my Greek yogurt + quinoa + apple combination
Wow, it was delicious. I am SO happy I found it! I am going to go back and buy another flavor for sure!
First iced coffee of the season! It was just as good as I hoped! 
While at WF buying flax oil, I also picked up some extra lean ground beef. Upon arriving back at home, I immediately mixed the ground beef with italian seasonings and spicy brown mustard. Form into little balls and cooked in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. 
And I just enjoyed a delicious salad with baby spinach, mushrooms, fresh dill, sprouts, asparagus and grilled chicken. Where did I eat it? Panera Bread. I know, I know, there are plenty of things I can eat at Panera Bread...but honestly? I like my own food better. I am sitting here on my computer, relaxing, blogging and just wanted my own food...

But I did want their coffee!!

Happy Saturday!
