This is it, my very first blog post! I'm so excited to be joining the bloggers' community, and sharing tidbits of my daily life with all of you! Through this I hope to connect with many of you that have similar interests, lifestyles, thoughts, and beliefs as myself. There are so many wonderful bloggers who pass on some of the most profound inspiration to their readers, as well as tons of blogger-to-blogger motivation, and that's what I'm looking forward to being a part of the most!
 
Loves on a Thursday
I love..
Now, since I truly stink at intros, I thought I'd use Alicia @ IMPRINTALISH's Thursday Link Up to share with all of you some (..or many) of the things I love (and will be blogging about the most!), not only on Thursdays, but everyday. Thanks, Alicia, for hosting!

Holidays!


Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
Hope that your day is filled with tons of the quintuple Fs
(friends, family, food, fun, and fireworks!)

PictureGrandmom's Macaroni Salad!
Food!


For every holiday my Grandmom makes macaroni salad (and, yes, that is an entire bucket of it!) I don't even like macaroni salad, but her's is incredible! It's literally a treat, and for as far back as I can remember it has been both mine and my sister's favorite holiday food that we look forward to.
You know what I'm enjoying a nice bowl (or three) of today!

PictureMy new cookbook!
Deals!


This big red dot means that I got this Clean Food by Terry Walters cook book for 50% off at Barnes & Noble! THEN when I went to check-out, I got an extra 10% off with my members card for a whopping 60% off! The best part is that I was in there a week prior and I had to force myself to put this back on the shelf, and it wasn't even on sale then! I love that all the recipes in this book are divided by season to include all of the freshest fruits and veggies during each specific season. I've already included the ingredients for some of the recipes on this week's grocery list!

PictureThe natural products I use!
(I love getting packages in the mail) :)
All-Natural Products!


I really believe it to be super important to not only fuel our bodies with natural, organic, no-additive, unprocessed foods, but to treat and care for our bodies with toxin-free beauty products as well. The face products, shampoos, soaps, and deodorants that I use are 100% natural, and I certainly can see a noticeable difference in my skin/hair since before I started using them!

Exercising!


This picture was taken after biking two hours through thunderstorms. I love exercising and working out, especially when I can take it outdoors! Biking is one of my favorite cardio exercises, and one of my best-friends and I go up to the state park to ride a few days a week (rain or shine!) :)

I know this post was a bit long, but I hope that I was able to give you an insight on some of the things that I love most about life! All of these loves are an intro to the things you'll be seeing my posts consisting of the most.

I'd love to hear feedback on what you think about my first post, and I cannot wait to connect with all of you!
Thank you everyone! Cheers to the fiture!
