Yesterday was much needed! I love spending time with Jeremy, but every girl needs a girl’s day. I have been overwhelmed here in every good way possible. It’s hard to make friends when you move around so much, but here I’ve made so many already. I don’t want to leave!
Yesterday afternoon, Lexi and I went to get our nails done. I usually go with the classic pink or red and I wanted to do something fun and crazy! I saw the two of my favorite colors and decided to put them together. It’s very “cotton candy” and I love it! It may have been something a middle schooler would have picked, but I like it 🙂 & it’s summer! Lexi had the gels done, but I have an obsession with picking at the gels so I never get them anymore.
After getting our nails done, I headed over to meet Sealy and Samantha at the dog park. We decided to go out for dinner! We drove over to the Mellow Mushroom. We all split their spinach and artichoke dip. It may have been the best spinach and artichoke dip I’ve ever had!
I also have a new obsession…Woodchuck Hard Cider…delicious! Thanks, Sealy!
I loved that the Mellow mushroom had a build your own salad menu! They had so many options. It was hard to choose. I went with the herb grilled chicken, iceberg lettuce, spring mix lettuce, candied pecans, cranberries, pineapple, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber and a side of ranch!
The pizza also looked good! I’ll be ordering a pizza from there after my long run on Sunday with Jeremy!
I ordered a steak and cheese hoagie to go for Jeremy!
After dinner, we headed over to TCBY for froyo!
They had all kinds of flavors. They had dairy free, gluten free, vegan, and regular flavors! I had the coconut milk fro yo and chocolate almond milk fro yo with some delicious toppings! Just because you live healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy foods you love in moderation. Even though this treat looks loaded in unhealthy sugars, it was all under 150 calories.

oh man. I wish there was a fro yo place with dairy free options near me. also, yes, hard cider is AWESOME! I can’t stand the taste of beer… even craft beer. So hard cider is my go-to at the bar, except sometimes I will splurge on a margarita.

Looks like a fun night! Girl’s nights are always great, and I love Mellow Mushroom too, their pizza is to die for!! I know you didn’t ask and this may not be the best place to leave this comment but since its your most recent post I figured it would have to do.
If I am not mistaken I read somewhere about you being a nanny once. I would love to hear more about it. Maybe you could right a post about it sometime, maybe as a ‘throwback thursday’ or ‘flashback friday’ type deal.
Anyway, you’re my inspiration! Thanks for being so committed!!

hi Taralynn
Great post I have a quick question im trying at the min to build abs (im not overweigth and im active) i do pop pilates for leg and abs,running and weight lifting yet all i can seem to achieve is a flat stomach! 🙁 are there any food that can help the process? and is there any excercises that you find really help? I love your blog! 🙂
Sarah says
I think it’s awesome that you highlighted the importance of having a girls night, keeping a healthy social balance is so important for your own well being. Sometimes being in a relationship can really detour people from taking time not only from themselves, but friends as well.
Love the nail color!
xoxo,
Sarah
