Five on Friday, Vol 13: Lessons Learned

Happy Friday Y'all!

We're heading to Savannah for a wedding last today. Before we head off to hopefully warmer weather, I'm participating in my favorite Friday activity with DarciAprilChristina, and Natasha!
THE GOOD LIFE BLOG  


Today I'm posting about 5 lessons I've learned this past week:

If you post pictures about having cravings people automatically think you're pregnant.

I posted this picture on Instagram with the caption: "My donut craving is finally being satisfied! Why am I craving donuts?!" Evidently if you mention cravings friends think you might be pregnant. I'm not, but it I was I can guarantee there would be a lot more visits to Sublime Donuts!

Guest posting is fun!

I did my very first guest post ever over at Melissa's blog Loving Life Moore earlier this week. It was a great way to meet new bloggers and get new followers!

I like winning giveways!

Taylor over at Tattered to Taylored hosted a giveways recently and I won! I'm super excited to get my new shirt.

Yoga is pretty cool!

I've been in a serious work out rut lately. I've blamed it on mourning the lose of my beloved Bar Method, but I'm out of excuses. I just started doing Erin Motz's 10 Day Yoga Challenge, and so far I'm a fan. I've wanted to get into Yoga for a while now, so hopefully this is my start!

Cold weather is not fun.

So, temperatures dropped down to 6 degrees at the beginning of the week! I decided I deserved a coffee treat for getting out of bed on such a cold day {I live in Georgia this totally makes sense}. I got to Starbucks and attempted to roll down my window but it was frozen shut. Cue freak out. I then proceeded to sit in the parking lot for 15 minutes with the heat blasting waiting for the window to thaw. Never once did it occur to me that all I have to do was open the door to order. My Northern mother was pretty embarrassed that this never occurred to her Southern daughter.

Here's to a happy and hopefully warmer weekend!

  1. Your last story made me laugh! I've had days when my car DOORS get frozen shut...then basically I go around trying all four of them till I can manage to pull at least one open and climb inside, even if it's not the driver's door!

  11. Those donuts look amazing! I crave so many random things now I can only imagine how it's going to be when I actually am pregnant!

  12. Found you via the link up..
    I always get the most random cravings and when I post about them, I love how you always get that one person who automatically thinks your pregnant. Hilarious to me.
    I totally have had my window freeze on me too! I had a mini freak out too!

  14. I have to admit, I've been a fan of the colder weather; however I did find a picture last spring of a rain storm rolling in and our green grass flourishing and it made me wonder "why do I enjoy cold weather so much??" haha. I guess it's the boots and sweaters :) anyways, I'm excited I found your blog from the link up! I'm glad to be following along now and look forward to reading more posts from you! Come say hi if you get a chance, I LOVE making new blogging buddies!

  17. I laughed out loud when I read your #5! Haha! Too funny! It's been super cold in Michigan as well! -13 most days this week! Yikes! I totally agree with #1 too... I get the same thing and especially if I'm not drinking when everyone else is! Haha. Have a great weekend!

  19. That is too funny about the window - I wouldn't have thought to just open the door either, but I am in FL sooo maybe not the best comparison. Good luck with your yoga - love yoga! But, all I want is a donut now.
