What I'm Loving no. 24

It is such a gorgeous day in early March, as I write this. I do not even want to think about the arctic cold snap we had in February, haha. I also have a question that I am very curious to know everyone's answer to: what were you doing one year ago?

I do not have a lot of favorites from February, as I mostly felt uninspired by the very cold weather, but here is what I have been loving!:

1. Bala Bangles - My number one work out has been hopping on the treadmill and either running, speed walking and, or walking on an incline, and also mat pilates. I wanted to add an extra challenge, and holding small weights was getting annoying, so I got the Bala Bangles, and am such a convert! I got 1 lb, but I think 2 lb would have been good for me too. I love how it adds a little extra work for my arms, and I can also put them on my ankles if I do pilates!

2. This Bralette - I already have a different bralette from Tommy John and love it, so I wanted to try another one from TJ. I picked this one because the sizing is based on your actual bra size, and you can remove the cups if you want. It ended up working out great! The fit and look are perfect, and I feel like it does not make your chest look like a weird shape, like some other barlettes tend to do!

3. Hydro Flask - I feel like I succumbed to this GenZ trend haha, but these water bottles are actually that good. I have needed to replace a Camelbak straw lid bottle I had for a long time but lost, and was just using a big cup with a straw in it. Several instances of me knocking over said lidless cup, and soaking things, like books and my phone, was the last string and I said screw it I am getting a Hydro Flask. It is amazing how long it keeps water cold, and keeps ices from melting! I am such a convert for this too!!

3. Sunshine - Sunshine is always a favorite of mine, but I think I was/am feeling extra grateful for the sun during those very, very cold weeks. The sun shining made all the difference last month. I am even more grateful for the unseasonably warm weather we have been having, and the sun is still out!

4. Rereading Harry Potter - Over the past couple of years, I have been slowly rereading this series, but it was last month when I finished two books from the series- the 4th and 5th. I really forgot how much I loved it, and how fun it is to imagine the story happening in your head! Harry Potter is such a comfort because I grew up seeing all the movies, and reading the books. I have so many new books on my TBR pile, so I am going to take a little break from HP, but not for long :) PS, my favorite book is book 4, whats yours?
