[beach bags]

So it's a gross day outside today and I find myself hoping for pretty days when I can actually go to the beach. So what do I do? Online shopping. Today, I'm looking for a fun beach bag for the summer. Here's what I've come up with:

[seaside striped tote] [canvas leaf tote] [navy chevron canvas tote]

I like that they're all easy to maintain but still colorful and big enough to carry my summer essentials: a book, my phone and headphones, a towel and sunscreen. 

What do you carry in your summer carry-all?

[it's a new week]

Happy Monday all! I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope you're all geared up and ready to take on the week - I know I am!!!

This week is kind of wobbly for me: my work schedule fluctuates daily and I'm working overtime so I didn't really get my normal allotted time to meal plan and prepare. That being the case, I was feeling overwhelmed last night. BUT I got everything handled and now I'm ready to tackle Monday and the rest of the week.

I'm doing my best to try and work out every day, even though I can't really get in a routine this week. But for a little inspiration, here's what today's workout looks like. It'll be post work, on the beach.

Warm - up: Walk 1/4 Mile.

Jog 2 miles

Cool - down: Walk 1/4 Mile.

Insert the following fun cross fit-ish workout:
