I see “What I Love” or “Favorites” or “What I’m Into” posts all over the blogosphere and I’ve always thought I should get in on the action.  It seems like such a great way to share what I’m excited about all in one place.  I’m not linking up with anyone, but just thought I’d give monthly “What I Love” posts a whirl for awhile.  So here’s what I love in May, 2014.

This video is hilarious.  I can’t stop watching it and, on top of the fact that the parents are pretty good, I laugh my head off at the kid in the backseat who is just! so! excited! that his mom and dad are singing “Love is an Open Door.”  This one is for all the parents out there, who have heard the “Frozen” soundtrack eighty-four dozen times, can’t get it out of their head, and still kinda sorta like the songs.

These ladies!  So proud of my team for our strong showing in the Buffalo Marathon Relay!

Running in general – I’m really feeling good about my runs lately.  Which is good, because marathon training starts in early June.  It’s so true that the only way to make running easier is to run.

Brighter lipsticks for summer!  I tend to play lipstick really safe.  It’s one of my favorite beauty products and I own quite a few tubes of lipstick, but they’re all in the same shade of dusty rose.  It’s a good color on me and I feel pretty when I wear it, but I wanted to try something new.  I went shopping with my mom last weekend and picked up two new lipsticks in brighter raspberry shades: Tarte Amazonian Butter lipstick in “Tulip” (described on Sephora.com as a “mauve rose” but a little brighter than what I usually choose), and NARS lipstick in “Niagara” (which I totally bought for the name, but which also happens to be a gorgeous coral-tinged pink).  I also convinced my mom to buy a tube of NARS lipstick in “Dolce Vita,” which is my go-to shade for job interviews, presentations, and pretty much anything important in my professional life.  (Image sourced from Google.)

The new Lululemon store that just opened in the Walden Galleria!  I might have bought two pairs of shorts the first weekend.  (Image sourced from Google.)

Spring!  It’s finally here!  So happy to see leaves on the trees and flowers everywhere.  It’s been a long road to get here, and it feels so good now that we’re into the warmer season again.  (Cold rainy days last week notwithstanding.)

What’s making your month this May?
