Cool Runnings

So there has been some BIG news which I can't believe I haven't shared yet! My friends I and got into the Nike San Francisco Women's marathon!! I'm so So SO excited about this! After all, any race where a fireman dressed in a tuxedo hands you a Tiffany necklace at the end is bound to be good, right?! The race is in October, and training officially kicked off last week. You remember what it was like out last week? 30+ degrees and sunny everyday? Yeah. We were running in that weather. Which I'll admit, is slightly ridiculous. You know the evenings run is going to be unpleasant when the 4 minute walk from the subway station to the Running Room seems unbearable...

Thus began my quest to find running gear that I could be comfortable in as the mercury continues to climb. My new favourite so far? Lululemon's "I Just Wanna Run Tech SL" tank top. This tank has a great loose fit which I love, because really, there is nothing worse then having tight clothes stuck on you when it's a thousand degrees out. It comes in fun bright colours. And the fabric is super duper light weight. So you barely feel it at all. It's almost like you're not wearing a shirt at all! Now if I can just find shorts that feel the same way..

In a word - Mmmmmm

Last week while cursing a food blog I came across a recipe for Salted Toffee Chocolate squares. They looked AMAZING. I thought perhaps I'd make them on the weekend. The next day I was flipping through the pages of the latest Everyday Food magazine and found another recipe for Salted Toffee Chocolate squares! Well that sealed the deal. I now HAD to make these things. I was visiting my parents on Saturday and enlisted the help of my sister. (She was in charge to chopping the almonds and holding the basket at the grocery store) These squares are SO easy to make. But are they as good as they look? In a word - Mmmmmmmmm!!

You can find the recipe here.

GO JOE!

No, not G.I. Joe. I'm cheering for Joe Fresh! I've loved Joe Fresh for awhile now. What is there not to love? Super cute clothes that are super affordable. But this Spring they've out done themselves. The collection is gorgeous! The BEST pieces are the ones with the rosettes. They have them on tee shirts, tanks, skirts and this jacket that I bought. I LOVE this jacket. When I tried it on, my friend Laura started yelling, "Oh my god! Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama!" Then everyone in the change room area started staring. And insisting that I spin around and model it. It has ridiculous! Also ridiculous? The price. At $69 this coat is a steal! So get to Joe soon. Because at these crazy prices, these beautiful items won't be around for long!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope all the Moms out there have a great day. But especially my Mom. Because she is the BEST!
