Running Essentials

I love running outside. I do not think I get the same workout in on the treadmill. I have some essentials I need every time I go out on a run.

Garmin Forerunner 15 // My GPS of choice

Asics Nimbus 15 // High-cushion for a tall girl

Any typical baseball hat // Because pre-mature wrinkles are not attractive.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen // Obvious (see above)

Ray-Ban Wayfarers // I like to think I am so cool.

Take Me Back to ACK

As I write this blog post, the North Shore of Boston is getting snow again...ugggggh, I'm tired of this, but I can't wait for June when my Momma and sister come to visit. Besides missing them terribly, I can't wait for Caroline and I to complete our first half-marathon and then vacay on Cape Cod/Nantucket. I sometimes like snow, but please take me back to summer on ACK.

Relaxed Weekends

I love weekends on the North Shore of Boston. There are so many possibilities for a fun day!! It's nice to be able to go to the beach, play a match of tennis, or go to the historical sites around Boston (still haven't been down to Lexington and Concord or the Quincey Church). Today, the husband and I are catching up on some quality T.V. time on Netflix by watching The Twilight Zone (I'm a fan of old shows.). Later on, we are going to see Pacific Rim with some friends...I hope it's good!!

Here is my Outfit of the Day from yesterday:

Only for a quick run to Target...no sweatpants out of the house for this lady.
Ralph Lauren Sleeveless Polo // J.Crew Denim Skirt (old) // J.Crew gold belt (similar) // Vintage Pearl Necklace // Jack Rogers Napa Valley Navajos

Next weekend is my first anniversary with my husband!! We are going to celebrate it on Nantucket. This week's blog posts might be a little nostalgic with some wedding pictures. Can't wait to spend some quality time with the hubby on the beach. I got inspired by a weekend on Nantucket on Polyvore:

Being More Adventurous

Since I moved to Massachusetts, I have become more adventurous. Back in my Kentucky days, I would definitely say that I was a more cautious person that did not take a lot of risks. I      studied in college rather than partying too much and worked to keep myself busy (and fund my closet...but that's a different story). I wanted to explore New England the second I moved into my new apartment. My husband and I began exploring the different historical places of Boston and the surrounding towns, but being the very active person I am, I needed a challenge. I have found that challenge in horseback riding lessons.

Growing up, members of my family owned horses on our historic family farm, but since I lived in Louisville almost and hour and a half away, I never took lessons except for maybe two times with a friend. When I moved to the North Shore, I needed a physical challenge. I decided to start riding lessons over tennis lessons and I am sooooooooo happy with my choice. Riding is quite fun and I've only just started.

As I have been getting into riding lessons, I have been adoring all equestrian themed items that have crossed my path...I am crushing on those Aigle riding boots and they're going to be added to me Wish List for sure.
