What's Up Wednesday

What’s Up Wednesday–March 2017

I’m going to pretend that today’s What’s Up Wednesday post doesn’t mean that my spring break is already half way over.  The weather has been so strange this week–cloudy, rainy, and maybe a little sun.  At least I’m not experiencing this weather in school, right?

What we’re eating this week…
Monday-Shay’s Mexibeef with quinoa and a jicama salad
Tuesday-Using my friend Erica’s pizza dough recipe to make veggie and turkey pepperoni pizzas!
Wednesday-out to eat
Thursday and Friday-???


What I’m reminiscing about…
Last year’s vacation because I’m so excited about this year’s vacation!  We aren’t going to the Bahamas again this summer, but Alabama beaches are just as pretty!




What I’m loving…
So many things!  Being out of school for spring break this week, this dry shampoo, lifting weights and watching my arms tone up, eating cleaner, waiting on my new JCrew order to arrive 🙌🙌


What we’ve been up to…
March hasn’t been super exciting–we booked our beach trip for this summer.  I took a cooking class Sunday night that was the most fun ever!


What I’m dreading…
Going back to school next week because we start state standardized testing and IT IS THE WORST



What I’m working on…
Eating cleaner and incorporating weights into my exercising to tone up, blogging more consistently, and being more intentional in my marriage to Dustin



What I’m excited about…
Lots of fun things coming up!!  Oh, and Southern Charm comes back on!



What I’m watching/reading…
Watching: When Calls the Heart, the Kardashians, RHOBH, Grey’s
Reading:  I’m posting my book review next week and I read one of the best books ever!  I’ve dubbed it my favorite book of 2017 so it’s going to take a lot to beat it this year



What I’m listening to…
I did a post on podcasts and so I’ve listened to a couple of episodes of The Big Boo Cast and have laughed during each one!



What I’m wearing…

I love a good blue top!  And can you spot my bff trying to get out of my pictures? 😂😂



 I really love the color of this dress–actually I’m loving blush everything–but this dress wasn’t flattering on me.



Spring break uniform #fashionista
(I use this spray on my hair to get the beachy waves)



And if I’m not in the above, I’m in workout clothes!  It’s been nice working out whatever time I’ve wanted to this week instead of immediately after school



What I’m doing this weekend…
Dustin works so I’ll be extending my spring break mentality haha!  I have a book I hope to finish that I just started Monday night.  Sounds so exciting doesn’t it?



What I’m looking forward to next month…
We’ve got some fun stuff coming up and next month is another month closer to summer break!



What else is new…
Nothing really is new?  March obviously has been a so-so month for us at the Shaneyfelt household, and I’m not sad to see it end 😊

What’s Up Wednesday–February 2017

Hi friends!  I know I sound so much like a broken record when I say that I cannot believe that it’s already time for another What’s Up Wednesday post.  February has gone by fast, and that is fine with me!  

I’m linking up with Shay for today’s post!
What we’re eating this week…
Thanks to the girls at Her Heart and Home, I tried out egg roll in a bowl and it was SO GOOD!  We ate the leftovers the next day, and since we both loved these so much, I may make them again next week.  #dontjudge

We’re also eating this cheeseburger pie–another favorite in the Shaneyfelt household!



What I’m reminiscing about…
nothing??  I feel bad for not reminiscing this month but I’m only looking forward 🙂



What I’m loving…
Being able to have a workout buddy at the gym every day after school!
Yesterday neither one of us were feeling a workout at the gym but we both made each other go and left feeling so much better.  It’s really important to have some sort of accountability, and mine just happens to teach next door to me 😜



What we’ve been up to…
February has been a busy but fun month filled with lots of things…
 We worked out a lot, and together the few times we could.  And then I worked out by myself when D was at work.



 My church’s women’s ministry hosted a coffee house night with guest speaker, Brittany Price.



 We went on a date to watch a hockey game and ended up watching fights all night long–I loved it!!



 We spent lots of time together



 I was surprised with a sweet Valentine’s Day gift early in the morning before work.



 #wheredustinsleeps happened a few times this month



 I was featured on my real life friend, Erica’s, blog!



And I got to enjoy pretty days outside that didn’t feel like February 



What I’m dreading…
The return of cold weather



What I’m working on…
Growing my hair out?  Does that count as something I’m working on at the moment?  haha!



What I’m excited about…
Dustin and I are going on a beach trip with my mom, stepdad, sister, and brother in law in June.  My mom booked our condo and it’s pretty spacious.  Then Dustin’s parents are wanting to take a family vacation to Disney World in 2018, so I’m excited about all potential vacations!



What I’m watching/reading…
Watching: rewatching season 3 of When Calls the Heart while recording season 4 on tv, Summer House, This Is Us, Grey’s, Revenge Body

Reading: I quit reading Hillbilly Elegy and am looking for a new book to pick up.  
Any suggestions?



What I’m listening to…
Shane and Shane Psalms Live album–the best!



What I’m wearing…



 dress (my favorite)







Can you tell Anthropologie is my favorite store in the entire world?!



What I’m doing this weekend…
I’m not sure!  Dustin is off this weekend, so I don’t know what our plans are going to be.



What I’m looking forward to next month…
SPRING BREAK!!!!



What else is new…
not much!


Bonus: What is my “can’t live without” beauty product?
I cannot live without my Laura Mercier translucent powder.  I have an oily t-zone, and I use a damp beauty blender to press this powder into those zones to keep my oil free for the whole day!  What can you not live without?  I’m always looking to try new makeup products!

What’s Up Wednesday–January 2017

If it weren’t for my friend Emily, I would have forgotten about it being the last Wednesday of the month, so I would have forgotten linking up today.  #ineedapersonalassistant #thanksemily

I know this makes me so much older by saying this BUT I cannot believe the first month of 2017 is almost over.  Usually January is the worst month because it last forever, but not this year.  To see my What’s Up posts for 2016, click here.

What we’re eating this week…
We ate out Monday, and last night I had a smoothie while Dustin had chicken salad.  Tonight is a knockoff cheeseburger helper pasta meal and tomorrow is salmon patties.



What I’m reminiscing about…
Last January, I was beginning my final stretch of grad school and starting my internship.  This January I don’t have to think about when assignments are due or writing papers!



What I’m loving…

 My new apple watch 2!  I got the gold watch with a cocoa band.



I’m loving Ivanka Trump’s style, and cannot wait to see everything she wears in the next 4 years.



What we’re been up to…

 We went to Memphis recently for a concert.



 I went hunting for the first time ever.  (And maybe the last??)



We deep-cleaned the house, and Dustin washed baseboards 🙌🙌



What I’m dreading…
I can’t think of anything I’m dreading!



What I’m working on…
Eating more intentionally and incorporating weight lifting into my workouts.



What I’m excited about…
Lots of fun things to come in the future!   And Grey’s starts back tomorrow night!



What I’m watching/reading…
Watching:  I’m obsessed right now with The Night Manager on Amazon.  I came home yesterday and watched 2 episodes before doing anything I needed to–it’s that good.  I’m also watching This Is Us and Grey’s and lots of reality tv–RHOBH, Ladies of London, Revenge Body, and Summer House.

Reading: Killing Kennedy, Knowing God, and Hillbilly Elegy



What I’m listening to…
Lots of Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and the Avett Brothers Pandora station.



What I’m wearing…

 Still loving this sweater and these jeans (similar).



This sweatshirt



This dress (I’m also jealous at how cheap it is now), vest, and booties



And I thought I might show y’all real life 😂  Dustin and I ran over to my dad’s house last night to hook up his Amazon Fire Stick and I had on running shorts and Dustin’s high school t-shirt.  So I threw on some Uggs and a Northface jacket.  So fashionable, right?!



What I’m doing this weekend…
A little shopping and resting!



What I’m looking forward to next month…
A fun Nashville trip with my 2 besties!



What else is new…
I can’t think of anything??

Bonus: Who is your all-time favorite Bachelor?
I’m not a really big fan of The Bachelor (I know, I’m the only person), so maybe Ben since I can only compare his season to Juan Pablo’s–and no one likes JP!
