Monday

Happy Monday everyone! 

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Finally, after four weekends of rain, we had an entire weekend of sun! We spent the whole weekend with family and had such a fun time. The weekend always goes by way too fast. Don't you hate the feeling you get Sunday nights? The dreaded "I have to get up and go to work/school tomorrow" feeling. This shirt is the perfect shirt for a Monday if you ask me! Its nice and casual and so fun to add a statement necklace with. Not to mention it is on sale at Nordstrom right now! Well I hope you guys have a fantastic Monday. It's the beginning of the week so lets start it off with a bang!

Fitness Friday: Why is candy so dang good?

You guys!! Growing up I could have thrown candy out the window. I did not care for sweets. In fact I even remember turning down desserts all the time. Well what the freak happened to that day? Goodness gracious I like seek out sweets now. Its so rude!!! I have been off the fitness band wagon the last few weeks and it is taking its tole. Not only do I feel like a bit of a fat lard, but also I'm exhausted. But everyone needs a break every now and then right? I mean I am still going to the gym, I just haven't gone six times a week. Some girls don't sweat when they work out. Why the freak does that not happen to me?! Today for example: I was on the stairclimber walking at a fairly rapid pace. Well the girl next to me had her hair down. I repeat: She had her hair down. LONG HAIR. She was walking twice as fast as me, and I didn't even see a flipping bead of sweat on her face. Is this even real life? My face was purple, and I was sweating like a sweater. Maybe it's because I eat candy, and she doesn't? They say that sweat is fat crying, and she had no fat. So maybe that explains everything...

Bold and Brave Wednesday: Layering

Hey Guys!

I wanted to talk about layering for a second. I SUCK at layering. First of all I really avoid layering because I feel it makes me look like a fat lard. I hate my stomach area, and me adding more layers scares the heck out of me. I know I need to try it more often. Also I feel like it is a fall/winter situation to layer rather than spring/summer. I mean who wants to layer when its 1,000 Degrees outside. Not me. Sweating like a sweater over here! Well people: this shirt does it all for you! Built in layers. That's what I am talking about! I love this shirt. Its light and has a fun pop of color with stripe detail. We all have those days when we just need a top to throw on and run out the door and this is exactly it for me. Not to mention it is ON SALE at Nordstrom right now. The other colors are just as flipping cute too! Lets be Bold and Brave and layer more!

Kora Rae

Can you guys tell I am obsessed with this shirt? I think Kora Rae made it for me. But seriously I can't get enough of their spring/summer 2015 line. They have this same pattern in a pencil skirt and it may or may not be purchased in the next few days... The Designer Rachel Turzer sent a flipping hand written note in my package and it was so sweet! We all need to write more hand written notes. Each line she creates is inspired by places that she travels. I think that is such a fun concept! I am so excited to see what they have in store for their Fall/Winter collection.

I hope you guys had an incredible weekend! I am not working today and I hope I am sleeping as this gets posted. I seriously can't sleep in anymore. Are any of you like this? My body won't physically let me sleep in past 7:30 any more. How depressing is that? Getting older is real fun. No one informs you of that when you are young. People just stay quiet about everything until it slaps you in the face. haha Okay done with my ramble. I hope you guys get the day off too! Don't forget a bunch of fun sales are going on right now: Gap is 40% off with code summer. Old Navy is 50% off in stores. ASOS is 20% off with code longwknd. J.Crew Factory is 50% off online and in stores! Of course there is the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale witch is always a great one! Online shopping here we come! Happy Memorial Day! So grateful for those who have, and currently serve our country.

Bold and Brave Wednesday: Beach Pants and Getting Pulled Over

Hey Everyone!

So I got a ticket yesterday. I have no words. Okay that is a lie. I have several words. 

I realize that this may seem a bit extreme, but I live/drive in my car at least 4 hours out of my day. I commute for an hour each way to work, and run errands for about 2 more hours. Consequently this means I am probably 75% more likely to get pulled over than anyone else. (Math is not my forte, but 75% sounded like a good number) I do think another reason for this ticket situation is that it is in my genes. The police hate Bernhisel's (my maiden name). Yes, we may have led feet, but God gave us those it isn't our fault is it?! My dad somehow gets tickets, My brother Matt always got tickets, and I get tickets. Well then there is my other brother Jason who can charm the heck out of anyone and he can talk his way out of tickets! WHERE IS MY CHARM!? Yesterday I was just so mad I was stone cold at the officer.  I felt bad afterwords. I didn't even tell him to have a good day. It was 8:30am and I wished upon him a terrible day. Pull over the people who are robbing banks, not me! Can someone please invent a car that only goes the speed limit? I will be the first to buy it. 

For those of you who never get tickets, I applaud you and your efforts.

 For those of you who drive in your car 4 hours a day and never get tickets, I give you a standing ovation. *insert hand clapping emoji*

So how you may ask does this pertain to Bold and Brave Wednesday? Well here is how my friends. I could have chosen to have that small incident ruin my whole day. I could have been upset and thought the world was out to get me. But today I tried my hardest to not let it ruin my day. I moved past it as quick as I could. Let me tell you the rest of my day was wonderful!

On a side note: I am literally obsessed with these pants. I want them in every color. This is not a joke. I promise you wont regret this purchase.

Shirt: J. Crew Factory

Necklace: J. Crew Factory (Similar)

Monday: A Floppy Hat

Happy Monday!!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! It was rainy and cold here in Utah. It even snowed up in Park City! That is Utah weather for ya. 80's one day, 30's the next.  I am totally in love with this leopard shirt! I found it at The Limited for 30% off and I couldn't resist. It is such a fun piece to have in your closet. Lets talk hats for a hot minute. I have always felt I look super dorky in hats. They are really on trend this year so I thought I would give it a try. This one is great because it is fairly in expensive and just fun the have. However, I still feel a tiny bit weird wearing it. I just need to get used to the whole idea of it. I'll tell ya what though, you feel super fancy in it. I can just picture sitting in a sexy restaurant seeing some man across the room. You look down and he walks over takes your hand and whisks you away. Guys this may happen to you if you get this hat. I won't make any promises. But it could happen. haha. Have a great Monday!

Fitness Friday: Comfort

Hey everyone! I can not believe it's FIRDAY!
Sorry for the late night/rainy photos. Seriously though, workouts happen at night. Just trying to keep it real up in here.

So last week I sort of mentioned that I was stuck in a fitness/eating rut. I was so sick of working out, and I was obsessing over every single thing I put in my mouth. Well this week has changed! I realized I had stuck to the same workout since October. Not the exact same, but basically. Lifting heavy weights, and feeling so sore a few hours after it hurt to take my flipping sports bra off. Now sometimes that hurt is like the most satisfying hurt on the planet. But for me it was really starting to mess with my body. Everything was hurting too often. I felt like an old woman getting out of the car it took me so long! So this week I started something new. I decided I was going to try out classes at my gym, and try my hardest not to obsess over food. You know what?? This week has been PERFECT!! I even had a few oreos. 

Oh sweet heaven on earth. Oreos. 

Trying new classes at your gym is amazing..and terrifying. Especially when you are going alone. Why the flip is that!? Am I the only one that feels this great pressure? The worst is when you go to this new class and everyone in the class are acting like besties and you stand there like okay can I crawl out of here without people noticing? Maybe that's just me. Well anyway, I did it. I went to reformer pilates all by myself and it was awesome! It kicked my trash. I was super nervous at first. Ya everyone knew each other. But who cares? I don't go to the gym for them, I go for ME. I got an amazing workout in, and felt so great afterward. So I challenge all of you to try something new. 

It will be worth it.

Bold and Brave Wednesday: Trench Coat

Happy Wednesday Friends!!!!

It has been rainy here in the good old SLC this past week, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to bring out this amazing trench coat from Forever 21! I can NOT walk into a forever 21 without feeling overwhelmed. It is scary in there. But if you know what you are looking for...ONLINE Forever 21 is DA BEST. Hence the Trench. It is soft, and delicious, and inexpensive for a coat. The rain and I are happy campers. 

You guys I dont know what has gotten into me but as I write this post I have all this motiviation to be BOLD and BRAVE. Actually I sort of know what is going on. I recently started watching Casey Neistat's YouTube videos and I am completely infatuated with his life. He is the happiest person I have ever seen. He is completely motivated, and takes the whole YOLO thing to a whole new level. Watching his videos makes me want to jump on a plane and go somewhere I never have. He is Bold and Brave and makes me want to be passionate about every single thing that I do in my daily life. The last hour of my life was spent watching his videos. OKAY MY LIFE IS PATHETIC. It's fine though. Because I feel so motivated right now. Who runs the world? GIRLS. (random thought of the day)

 LETS ALL BE A LITTLE MORE BOLD AND BRAVE TODAY!

Trench: Forever 21

Fitness Friday: Food Pains

It's Friday!!

I feel like this week has flown by! Where is the time going?

I am going to be honest and tell you that I have been in a fitness slump the last week. It is strange too because I really believe it is all because of FOOD. I started hating the idea of eating healthy. It wasn't making me happy in the slightest. I know I need to think of long term goals, but I just couldn't for some reason. I know I need to eat good, healthy things but all I could think about was everything NOT healthy. Do you guys ever get in these slumps?

I read this article today and it really made me happy. When you are trying to make big changes you forget the big picture and start obsessing over food. Steven and I will sometimes go nuts and go to Chili's and get a hot cookie with ice cream and the next moment we are beating ourselves up.  We go to the gym extra long, or run a little more. Well where is the fun in that?! The point to all of this is that I am learning that it is OKAY to indulge sometimes! 

That is what makes my life worth living. A HOT GOOEY COOKIE.

Have a good weekend you guys! See ya Monday.

Bold and Brave Wednesday!

Say hello to my new favorite dress. Oh heavens to betsy this thing is amazing. 

I had been staring at them on Athleta's website for about 6 months, and they recently had a 20% off sale. You better believe I snagged this baby up. First of all I love how casual it is. Second of all It is as soft as a babies bottom. Third of all its tight where I like it to be tight and loose where I like it loose. What is not to love people?!

I am also in love with these shoes. They are a summer staple, and I know I will get a ton of use out of them. Can you guys tell I love this outfit? I wanted to keep it simple because aint nobody got time for lots of accessories. I just love a good outfit that you know works, and can throw on at a minutes notice.

Today's Bold and Brave topic is from about a quote I really like: 

Be Brave. Take Risks. Nothing Can Substitute Experience. -Paul Coelho

Isn't that the truth?! Looking back on my life the time's I received the most amazing experiences is when I was the bravest. (I still may have been terrified, but I was brave enough to do it.) The biggest example that comes to my mind is jumping on a plane by myself and flying to India. Holy crap was I nervous. Getting off the plane all by myself was terrifying. After forcing myself to be Brave I spent a few weeks of my life meeting the most amazing humble people that have forever changed my life. This is just one moment of many I can think of that all started by being Brave. Even in simple day to day things like talking to new people, reaching out to someone you have neglected, trying new food! I promise we will all be better off if we are more Brave.

Dress: Athleta
