Not gonna lie…I love shopping! It’s a good thing I love it because I’ve been shopping all day! It did me some good. Today, I went from this…
…to this!
That dress – $12! I kept the bargainista in mind during this trip. She always has the best fashion, beauty, and shopping tips.
Clearly, I didn’t start my day in a pretty dress. I started with a PB&J sandwich thin and seven miles. I laughed in the face of humidity. Ha! I can’t let it get me down on every run, so I faced it. I took it slow to make sure I didn’t get nauseous again. It worked. Besides the salty sweat burning my eyes, it was all good!

I needed a cold snack after that jaunt.
My yogurt mess was perfect. I added a banana and cereal to some plain Greek yogurt. I threw some Chex into the mix this morning. Ahh…the cereal of my youth! It was a nice addition.
Just as I finished eating, I got a shopping invitation. Twist my arm, why don’t ya?! I joined my aunt, Gram, and cousins for some back to school shopping. Teachers go back to school, too. I had to partake! I actually did really well at scoring some deals and avoiding a spending spree. I’m far from perfect, but I made a solid effort.
My shopping trip was powered by Lara.
I grabbed another new flavor for the road. I didn’t rave about the chocolate chip cookie dough bar, but….I loved this one!! The peanut butter chocolate chip was right up my alley. It had the salty flavor from the peanuts mixed with sweet morsels of chocolate. I have a new favorite Larabar flavor. This bar comes highly recommended. If you see one, buy it, and try it.
We ended a long day of sale racks and fitting rooms with some lunch.
Bertucci’s was the easiest option. It’s right in the mall and always has something for everyone. Plus, I am sort of obsessed with their hot rolls and dipping oil.
I started with a doughy roll before ordering the soup and salad combo for lunch.
Crisp and fresh.
Warm and hearty.
It was just the lunch I needed after a tiring spree – lots of fun, though!
As promised, I shall return with a review of Born To Run. I’m excited to share my thoughts!
Are you a shopper? What’s your favorite thing to shop for? Since I love shopping, most trips are fun. I especially love shopping for clothes…and FOOD!
Anywhoo….I got on and ran four miles, focusing on negative splits.
