1. This article is pretty hilarious, mostly because until very recently, I didn’t even realize what twerking was. (I may still be in my 20s, but I clearly don’t get out much.)
2. The best way to get through a slow afternoon at work? Desk chair dance party to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack!
3. Apparently my relentless teasing of Mark and his grey hairs has caught up with me, because this morning I found 2 bright grey hairs right at my hairline. And so it begins…
4. I desperately need a juicer because this juice looks incredible. Beets have the most beautiful natural coloring!
5. I’m really jealous of all my fellow bloggers who are attending Healthy Living Summit in less than 2 weeks, but I’m looking forward to reading everybody’s recaps of the event.
6. I’m giddy that it’s finally September because it’s now acceptable to start burning the fall candles. My home smells like crisp, fall leaves and pumpkin spice—even if it is a balmy 91° outside.
7. Speaking of fall, our neighbors have already put up Halloween decorations! They may have 4 kids, but this is purely unacceptable. Candles and generic fall décor are one thing (well, 2 things), but it’s not even October yet.
8. I love this article on mindfulness. My “mind noise” or internal monologue is overwhelming at times, but lately, I’ve just found myself appreciating each moment and each thought. It’s hard to explain, but life’s ordinary, fleeting moments can be remarkable and magical.
9. On a less serious note, why is this cookie not in my belly? I just can’t wait for the holidays so I have an excuse to bake every single free moment of my life. (She’s right about watching the jar disappear; half of my Biscoff Spread is gone, and I’ve only used it in a recipe/meal once. The rest has been eaten straight from the spoon. #NoShame #SorryNotSorry)
10. What’s worth getting struck by lightning and being swept away in flash floods? THE MIXED GRILL. My husband risked his life to bring us these sandwiches tonight–and for that, I thank him.

I am cracking up from reading the twerking article! I too, had no idea what it was until the VMA Miley Cyrus scandal!
Can’t believe you neighbors have Halloween decor up- slow down people!!
