It’s the 3 Little Things (With Amanda): Great Books, Protein Boosts, & Swimwear on a Budget

It's the 3 Little Things

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you all had a great week! I had the best little weekend away last week with my two besties from my church camp days and I may or may not have sipped my fair share of these.  This week I am frantically trying to meet all the deadlines and do all the things before I am off to Mom 2.0  to learn and (let’s be perfectly honest) enjoy a little time to myself with some of my favorite people. If you are attending, please say hi! In the meantime, keep checking back here since I have a special Sundays With Writers scheduled this week and I will be working on my must-reads list for the month of April for next week!  If you are curious, I am sneak peeking this book this week and loving it!

Today we have Manda Sue from  Talk Pray Shop sharing a few things that are making her happy this week! I think you are going to be in for a treat since she has so many fun things to recommend on her blog! I am so excited to share these with you today! 

If you are interested in being a guest poster on the 3 little things, send over a list of your 3 favorites and why to amy@momadvice.com and I will share them in the upcoming weeks!

Let’s peek at this list of her fun recommendations today!

 Confess by Colleen Hoover

Confess by Colleen Hoover

This is a novel I typically wouldn’t have stumbled upon because it’s a fiction love story and I’m normally drawn to the inspirational, religious, psychology, and self-help shelves; however this book was highly recommended on GoodReads so I decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did! I cried, laughed, and devoured this sweet story of Owen and Auburn. You won’t be able to put it down once you start so choose wisely.

Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus

I can’t afford Starbucks every day so I’ve had to compromise and these drinks satisfy my sweet-tooth without ruining my appetite or giving me a sugar rush. Plus, it’s a perfect drink for me post barre with 30 grams of protein!

 My First One Piece Swimsuit (As An Adult)

When I tried this suit on at Target originally, I couldn’t decide if I liked it. I don’t feel that I need to wear a one-piece, but I wanted to try a more modest suit and see what the fashion hype over one-pieces was all about. After putting this suit on hold I decided to just buy it and force myself to wear it confidently. I’m sooo happy I did! I’ve never had so many people compliment me in a bathing suit. Showing less skin also made me feel less self-conscious in the pool and laying out.

How fun was that list this week? I am so excited to share more great ideas from you all in the weeks to come! Thank you, Manda Sue, for generously sharing the happy today!

In my world… Capsule Wardrobe Ideas (current capsule HERE). I’m packing my bags for Mom 2.0 and here is a peek inside the suitcase!
