The Friday After the Race

Happy Friday! I am so proud of myself for running in my first 5k last night, it never ceases to amaze me what my body is capable of until I actually push it to do so.

1. Tuesday, the 5k team had a happy hour so we could all get together before the race. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and some new ones as well. Such a great way for co-workers to come together and get some exercise.


2. I'm not sure how, but I had never tested the somewhat new Jessica Simpson Signature fragrance. Of course I'm not surprised that I totally love it, such a beautiful light citrusy vanilla scent that smelled great for hours. Definitely want to pick up a bottle of it soon!


3. I also need this pineapple ring in my life from Versona. Perfect accessory for spring and summer.


4. Picked up a bottle of my favorite Skinny Girl Margarita for the boat this weekend with Pamela and Kerri. Can't wait to relax in the sun with the girls, sip on yummy drinks, and I'm sure there will also be lots of dancing and swimming involved.


.... but can we talk about the amazingness that I stumbled upon when I was at the liquor store?


That's right girls... there is now mimosa flavored vodka. I'm assuming mixing this with some club soda will put your right outside brunching on a patio by the water. If there's something us bloggers know how to do better than shopping, it's brunch and mimosas.

5. The 5k was so much fun even in the rain, I did so much better than I thought I would do and barely had to stop. Afterwards, a bunch of us went out to celebrate downtown to continue the fun. More pics and a better review to come on Monday.


*Grainy Cheers*

Linking up today with Rebecca for That Friday Blog Hop, Christina for 5 on Friday, Tif for High Five for Friday, and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Hop on over and join us! Happy Friday!

  11. I want to smell that JS fragrance now! She is still my fave! Pinnacle Vodkas are the best but so dangerous! They are so yummy that you keep drinking and all of a sudden the super drunkness creeps up on you, lol!

  19. Congrats on the 5k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) And the fact that there is a mimosa vodka is quite dangerous. Basically eliminating the need for orange juice! I smelled a JS scent in a magazine the other day that was just awesome, I wonder if it was that one. Hope you have a great weekend!
