The Friday Five

1.  Chocolate Cocao Nibs.  My favorite way to add a chocolate crunch to my smoothies!

The fruit of the cacao tree contains a small bean from which all chocolate is made. Cacao is an incredible health food in its natural state, filled with energy-boosting nutrients. Loaded with minerals such as magnesium which may contribute to normal bone health and healthy immune function, cacao is also high in copper and manganese.

2.  My friend Liz is an awesome ultra marathoner.  She also writes a blog and is one of the most well-read people I know on all things running.  This week she recommended the Moringa Muscle Soak from Thistle Farms (available in their online store or at  Whole Foods in Nashville).  I have always loved the Thistle Farms mission and their products.  Thanks to Liz, this is my new favorite!!

3.  CWX Tights

4.  The Starfish Story

5.  Uptown Abs!  Has anyone actually tried this workout?  Were you able to complete the whole thing?

Happy Friday and Choose JOY!!!

 

 

The Friday Five

1.  Watch.  The ice storm finally allowed us to finish the Sonic Highways series from HBO.  The Foo Fighters travel to eight legendary studios in eight different cities across the United States of America to write and record their album.  The cities are Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and New York.  Each episode features interviews with artists who recorded at the respective studios.

2.  Nosh.  Umpqua Oats.  My new favorite instant oatmeal when I’m in a hurry.  It’s the first time I’ve liked instant oats.

3.  Pray.  Pope Francis’ Guide to Lent: What You Should Give Up This Year (Time)

4.  Nosh.  Carrot Cake Almond Coconut Butter from You Fresh Naturals.  No words needed.

5.  Laugh.  

Happy Friday and Choose Joy!
