5 Food Favorites
- Sweet potato and pomegranate salad. Sounds like me, huh?

What have you guys been reading this week? Share in the comments!
I also want to start sharing the things you guys send me throughout the week. I used to do this when I was posting Friday Favorites more often, so let’s make it happen again. I love seeing the things you’re reading, making, eating, doing for workouts, etc. Send them along to me via email or social media, and I’ll try my best to include/share in these posts.
Happy weekend!
Good Friday reading! I was catching up on my email and blog reads because the weather is crappy and I don’t feel like being productive. Of course this ended with clicking the link to the secret of productivty. Thank you for the casual ease in to my Friday, I suppose I am ready to work now!
