Time for my favorite link-up day: Five on Friday. As always, I hope you'll join me along with Darci, Natasha, and Christina ... playing along is simple! Just write a blog about five things on your mind today, anything goes really, post the logo below on your blog, and then enter your post address below in the link-up section.
So here's my five. Cheers to the weekend!

Map My Run. This free app is such a motivator on days that I am not feeling jazzed about exercising. It tracks your route, speed, and distance covered. It's really helpful for days that I want to get out and try a new route around the neighborhood and walk a certain distance. Below is a sample screenshot I found online ... no, I'm not running 5.5 miles yet :)

Naked And Afraid. Oh my goodness. Have ya'll seen this show? My mom turned us on to it. It comes on the Discovery Channel and, fair warning, you will see a lot of bums. Not of the hobo variety. Oh, and please don't Google image the name of the TV show as I just did. Time to go wash my eyeballs. But seriously, awesome show with good survival tactics! A man and woman are left -- naked -- in a remote area and must survive for 21 days. Find food, find water, build shelter, try not to fight like an old married couple. I love it.

Dinners Alfresco. We've been enjoying our screened porch so much this summer, and recently I made mini-pizzas for us that I served alongside a salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, black and green olives, feta cheese, and a vinaigrette. I topped the pizzas with marinara, pesto, thinly sliced homegrown tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil leaves. Absolutely delish.

New Bling. I just finished these earrings and can't wait to post them in my A. Liz Designs Etsy shop! I have had a lot of coworkers to request jewelry repairs and re-dos recently. At any given time you can catch me with needle nose pliers in my purse!

This Necklace! I just bought this stunner from Living Social - it is available here. It was only $16 (you do pay $4.95 shipping) but quite a steal from the $42 value. Now I just have to decide what color I want it in! So excited to receive it in the mail.
Your turn to link up ... I can't wait to see your Five On Friday!
Those pizzas and cucumber salad? GIMME! It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, friend :)
1. So jealous of your blow out appointment. 2. Matt and I DVR'd EVERY episode of N&A and watched all of them in ONE night this week. Some of the couples are SO weird. And how insane is that swamp episode. EW. No thank you!! 3. Also a fan of Map My Run! Have been using it a lot recently!
ReplyDeleteLove your 5 today!! have a GREAT weekend!!!! xo
PS - I almost blogged about N&A today for my 5, but was afraid what sort of traffic I would start getting. haha.
ReplyDeleteThat show...oh my gosh! Do the man and woman know each other going into it or are they strangers? And that pizza looks so good! I've never done marinara and pesto together before but it sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteNaked and Afraid is amazing television. Period end of discussion. :)
ReplyDeleteI have that show on my DVR...I need to catch up! I hear it is quite interesting! And that pizza looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I don't know... I've heard about the show but it just sounds so stressful and awful to me! I absolutely love when the weather is perfect for dining al fresco! Your pizza and salad sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza made me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI need screens around my whole patio. If only it were possible. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNaked and Afraid is INSANE! I am so not a survivalist but I'm fascinated by the show.
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings! And I love how you have them hanging on a glass to photograph.
That dinner looks amazing! Yum! I love cooking dinner without a recipe -- it feels so freeing!
ReplyDeleteI love Map my Run- it's the best exercise app out there! My husband has totally gotten me hooked on Naked and Afraid- I'm so impressed with some of those people. I would never last one day.
ReplyDeleteOh, Naked & Afraid! I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one staring, head tilted to the side, to see what might pop out of those little blurry areas :-)
ReplyDeleteWe watched Naked & Afraid the other night and it was interesting. Props to them for feeling comfortable to just waltz around in nothing! Love that necklace, I have the blue one and am wanting them in every color!!
ReplyDeleteThe pizza looks amazing!! I love eating outside, too. I love the necklace. That new show looks well..interesting! Have a great wknd!
ReplyDeleteMy husband uses map my run and always likes to show me the video after. It's tiring just watching! How on earth he run 10+ miles I just don't know!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to getting my hair cut this weekend and doing a little cooking! Enjoy your time!
ReplyDeleteI love those necklaces. I saw the deal on groupdeals and it sold out! I am headed to living social right now to get one now. Thanks so much for sharing!
