I love these kind of posts! Oh no… but oh YES amazon grocery! This can only be very good or very bad…
My nephew is here visiting for the weekend and that is always fun. Plus we have a wedding on Sunday evening.
I could go either way; iced coffee or iced tea. I guess it depends what mood I am in and what my day is like.
i thought i knew all the starbucks tricks too- I need to check that article out!
Amazing WIALL! Always love Starbucks hacks and saves, love the post by Heather as well. Ah! So much great reading here. Thanks for the round up!
I’m much more of an iced coffee drinker, especially during the summer months! I like iced tea, but not as much as iced coffee!
Amazon has a grocery line now? This is dangerous territory. I have so much power in my hands and yet such a little wallet. Haha!
I have an 18 month old. The tantrums are epiccccccc.
Gahhhhh.
I totally have to check out Amazon Fresh! That’s awesome! I’m also rounding up my boys to make a donut run ASAP, I’m not sure whether to say thank you or not for that one! š Have a great weekend!
You’re welcome! Enjoy!!
The Amazon food delivery will totally change my life! You have no idea how much stuff I buy from there. Amazon Prime baby! I couldn’t live without it. Ok! Maybe I could just not as efficiently! Hehe!
Loving the link about the salads! I eat at least one salad a day (It was challenge I started with myself and have not let up ha) And this will for sure give me some new ideas! LOVING the Amazon as well! Have a great weekend!
I’m looking forward to heading up to Lake Erie this weekend for a half marathon! Should be a fun weekend. I’m definitely more of an iced coffee girl (especially the cold brew from Trader Joes!) Hope you have a great weekend!
amazon has a grocery store?!?! WEIRD!!! i am hoping to SLEEP this weekend because baby william is cutting molars so neither of us are sleeping very well right now…. argh!
YAY JAWS! Sharks are my favorite animals. ^_^
So many good things to read here, thanks for that Tina! I’m a hot tea drinker, but back in my coffee days — I liked it hot too! Happy Friday to you! š
ahhahaha that picture of the kid and the president is AMAZING! also I need to try those chocolate chip cookies asap! yum
Thanks for all the links!
I was invited to speak on a panel for writing about addiction and other vices at the 2015 Lit Fest here in Chicago so I’m pretty pumped about that!
Good luck!!
I had no idea it was donut day! I’m going to have to take advantage of that fact.
I’m looking forward to the Women’s World Cup starting tomorrow.
I try to eat a salad, even just a small one, once a day. I don’t really like hot drinks, so I love ice tea, not so much ice coffee. I’m looking forward to my “surprise” from my boyfriend tomorrow, and hopefully some beach time! I love those Starbucks hacks.. I had no idea I could ask for no water with my tea… Hope you have a fabulous Friday!
I’m so not into iced coffee / tea. Give me it hot any day!
Salads are a several-times-a-week occurrence for me. They are often my lunch š
Also – I don’t think I’ve ever heard of workouts being referred to as couplets, but the concept is something I’ve always focused on doing when exercising!
Tough call – I love iced tea, but iced coffee takes the cake for me!
I knew I could count on your post today to mention National Donut Day š
I don’t like coffee but I love iced tea – even more so lately since the weather is nice and hot!
I love the post about girls who lift!!!
I loved the one about beautiful ladies that lift. I was expecting of pictures of super shredded and lean women but I’m glad it wasn’t like that. Real women in real life, not supermodels on a magazine cover. Happy weekend to you!
Great list, thanks. I’m torn on Amazon Fresh – seems great for busy weeks, but I actually enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and even Costco! š
Great links! Especially the one about inflammation and depression!
Team iced coffee, all the way!
I also prefer to drink iced tea then coffee. Danica, I like your smile…
Coffee all the time. Iced in the summer and hot in the winter. I loved some of those Starbucks tips!
You can totally nail that push-up challenge! I just tried it out and with your arm strength you’ll be able to do it. š Good luck!
Oh my gosh, the chocolate chip cookies really look delicious. I am always looking for the perfect cookie recipe. Can’t wait to bake those chocolate cookies. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
Warm wishes, Sylvie
Thanks for the shout out about my salads! I post them on IG all the time with the tag #dianessaladmadness š
