This month has been crazy busy and I think it’s just a precursor to the rest of the year. With several weddings, bachelorette parties, and traveling in the works, my calendar is already pretty full! I love having things to look forward to that help me set my goals every month. Like with a possible trip to Germany and Switzerland, a destination wedding and a cottage wedding on the schedule for summer, I’m focusing on toning up not just for all the upcoming photo sessions, but as a precursor to all the drinks and eats that will be had! German pretzels, here I come!..
Working out is also my much needed form of relaxing my mind. Sometimes, whether I’m stressed or not, I just get a strong urge to run and I try not to ignore that call from my body. Who doesn’t just want to runaway from it all once in a while? But the better option is to focus that urge to run away and just go for an actual RUN. Hitting GoodLife Fitness as usual is my ultimate form of stress relief and the other benefit is that it keeps me fit.

As part of sticking to my gym goals, I made another awesome fitness fashion find recently. These killer sports bras are seriously SO comfortable and they also make your boobs look amazing which is rare from a sports bra since most of them squash your boobs down. I’ve found these bras lift and support (I think it’s the cool straps that make this magic happen!). Best part is they didn’t break the bank so I splurged on a bunch of them. Check out the links aboves to get your hands on some! I’ve been lounging and sleeping in mine, and I’m telling you, even if you don’t make it the gym, you’ll find plenty of occasions to wear them!
And in other fitness fashion news, I am obsessed with my new Nike shoes. I bought them at the end of the year. It was a tough time for me personally, and when I saw these shoes, they were like little silver linings, urging me to stop looking at the big picture, slow down, and focus on smaller goals, and put the spotlight on my well being and being good to myself. They are silver and have a slight sparkle to them that makes me want to pull them on and get active every time I look at them. What more could you ask of a workout shoe!?

Stay tuned for a new post next month where I’ll share some of my fav workout songs! I’m always on the lookout for new songs for my running playlist. What are you listening to currently at the gym?
This post is written in partnership with GoodLife Fitness as part of the GoodLife Fitness Ambassador Program, however all opinions expressed are my own.
Tulum has stolen a little piece of my heart. I took a four day getaway here after wrapping a huge project at the office and it was a much needed escape from work life to relax in the sun.
I had brought several books I wanted to read but ended up getting caught up on much needed sleep. Nothing beats napping by the ocean in my opinion and I loved every moment of letting myself recharge.
The water in Tulum was beautiful. Not only was it a perfect shade of turquoise blue but the temperature was so warm I actually braved the water and went in a few times. Letting my skin and hair get the full salt water and sunshine treatment was just what I needed. 
I had brought my Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera that I had purchased just before heading on my trip. The camera doesn’t come with film so I bought a package as well. It took me a few tries to figure out how to set the lighting properly and then quickly got addicted to taking photos.
Tulum, you are beautiful and I can’t wait to come back here in a few months. I already have a few places on my to do list for next time.
