Friday Five

It's been a while since I have done one of these posts, but here I am back at it.

{1}. Animal Twins. I told my friend Melanie that the animal she looked like was a turtle, and in turn asked what I would be, and she said a Koala Bear..and then created these comparisons:

{2} Fashion {Insta}. My blogging pal, Hilary, started a series called Fashion {Insta}. Every Thursday she is going to compile outfit pics that bloggers submit from Instagram. Love this concept and plan to participate as much as possible. Check out the first post of the series Here. E-mail Hilary at theyoungandthenaive@gmail.com to submit your pictures.

{3} Colored Denim. I have been continuing my obsession with colored denim lately. I blame it on Kendi. I have a red pair already...but naturally I need (want?) more. It's a toss up between Gap (left) or Francesca's (right).  --Help!--

{4} Poshmark. I decided to give this app a try to sell some items I am not wearing. We'll see how it goes. You can follow me @jessiaub. Learn more here.


{5} Succulents. I am pretty obsessed with succulents. I made some coffee table arrangements last weekend..this weekend I plan to stray from succulents and plant some vegetables to enjoy this summer. You can see more of my succulent pics on Instagram @jessiaub.

I'll leave you with this bit of Friday Inspiration:

--Great People Talk About Ideas

--Average People Talk About Things

--Small People Talk About Others

Let’s strive to be great today.

New Design to Come

I won a custom blog layout from andrea brionne through Along Abbey Road.

I am beyond excited, and have started brainstorming with Andrea to come up with some new concepts. Expect some changes around here soon.

Color Run

I signed up for the Color Run St. Louis yesterday. I'm pretty pumped to be a part of this because I am constantly seeing pics and hearing about how amazing it is.

Now I just need to start the Couch to 5k program again and get myself running more. I'm not a huge fan of running, I run a mile and give myself a pat on the back. I should be able to get 3 miles down by August.

Wish me luck.

Have you participated in a color run before? If so, tell me about it!

A Peek into May

My May:

-Work: Events, Events, Events.

-Planning for an upcoming work trade/food show (head=spinning)

-Getting my booty in gear and upping my gym frequency

-Being open minded

-Seeing The Fray in concert!

-Spending time spoiling my momma for Mother's Day

-Sending off my #SwapandBop Mixed CD's (another post on that to come)

-Getting some vacations on the books. My roomie's parents are moving to North Carolina, so we hope to head there in July.
