Why does Friday seems SO far away on a short week?
Especially when you have Friday off too.
Vegas and I are camping all weekend in the RV. It’s the annual OTL tournament in San Diego, so we’ll be with hundreds of our closest friends on an island playing ball. It’s an insane tradition here, and we’re happy to adopt it!
As such, I have nothing creative for you to make today. However, I did compile another random list of things that are awesome this week.
1. Adele Wine Pairings
This article, 11 Wines to Drink While Crying to Adele’s New Album, is brilliant. The tasting notes, the gifs… I’m a little ashamed I didn’t think of this first.
2. Instatint
You may have noticed I’ve fallen in love with dying my hair fun colors. It’s an expensive habit though. Enter: Joico Instatint. I just ordered it; I shall report back soon!
3. Carrot Cake Pancakes
I’m a dessert whore. Cake for breakfast is… errrrr… the icing on the cake? I love my carrot cake parfait, but sometimes you need pancakes. I used Flapjacked’s Protein Carrot Cake Pancake Mix to create this masterpiece.

4. Easy Baked Feta & Chicken
We’ve been eating the leftovers on salads all week. I realized why I love this recipe so much – warm feta reminds me of the pizza I used to order when my dad took us out for pizza night. I ALWAYS got a pie with feta cheese and pepperoni. And baklava for dessert, but that’s for another day.
5. Amazon Prime
You all know by now I am in love with Amazon. I mean… when you can get hair tint, toilet paper, BCAAs, and a Hangry t-shirt all in one place… what’s not to love?
So, in honor of Prime Day, you should try it free for 30 days. The money you save is no joke.

I’m taking Lindsay’s bacon chocolate bars to OTL. Mmmmmmwhahahaha!
If you could dye your hair any crazy color, what would it be?
What’s your favorite Adele song?
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Hmmm I think if I could dye my hair any colour, just to see what it was like, it would be red – or maybe blonde, just to try 😉
I really don’t like Adele, but I do like wine, so will just take the wine and put on some more upbeat tunes instead!
And want to hear something shocking, Australia doesn’t have Amazon!!
Laura says
I’ve done red and blonde… both good choices! Not too risky… you should go for it! 🙂
HOW does AUS not have Amazon? That should be illegal.
Allie says
OMG have so much fun this weekend and post lots of pics to Instagram!
Thanks for the hair dye link. My son wants blue hair in the worst way and this may be perfect for him 🙂
Happy weekend!
Laura says
Did you get it for him??? Mine STILL hasn’t arrived. It got delayed… they say it’ll be here tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
Allie says
I did! It came in a few days and it’s awesome! I hope you get yours soon…WTF???
PS – Love your new pic 🙂
Linda @ the fitty says
I really want to dye my hair blue, at least from the bottom down!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I feel like there needs to be an Adele drinking game with wine. But that could get dangerous. Can you imagine an Adele power hour? You would be so sad drunk after, but yet also empowered. But still sad.
Laura says
OMG. I’d probably die. Or want to die. I mean that in the most empowered way possible.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I think I’ve already dyed my hair every color possible… no what I didn’t do purple or black. By the way, your hair is getting long. I am impressed.
Laura says
It’s such a pain in the ass now… using a hair dryer BLOWS. Let’s shave it in Cleveland. Vegas will love it. I’m sure…
lindsay Cotter says
amazon prime is my life! and hmmm… hair color? I wouldn’t change. I have before. I didn’t like it. They need an ombre spray though
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Amazon is the best! I forget sometimes that I have to pay for everything I one click 🙂
Kate says
You’re forgetting the movie and music aspect of Amazon Prime.
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness says
I must try carrot cake pancakes soon! I’m with you, dessert anytime of the day is a-okay with me! 😉
Have a blast at the tournament — and for heaven’s sake, please don’t injure anything — knocks on wood — !! I think I’m heading to the Little Italy Market tomorrow and was going to see if you’re around… but that question was quickly answered in this post!
Heather McClees says
I love Amazon Prime too, I’d be lost without it! And Adele, gosh, that woman is rock solid. I love her beyond words! : )
Emily says
Cake for breakfast is a good idea! 🙂
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
I had red hair for two or three years when I was younger so I think that ship has already sailed. I absolutely hate Adele. OMG.
Laura says
I could see you with red hair… it’s a lot of upkeep if you’re a nomad though!
And Adele… well, you’d hate my house. Vegas has her on ALL THE TIME.
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I love Adele and drinking wine but never have done it together. May have to try that. That chicken dish looks very tasty and easy to make.
Laura says
It’s a natural pairing. 😉
Debra says
OK, I once had pink hair in HS which made all the old biddies cringe. (This was WAY back in the day.) I love Adele, but I have to confess that I think all of her songs sound the same. I am sending out the Adele link to ALL my wine drinking friends.
Laura says
OMG – I want to see pics!
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says
Thanks for sharing the Adele wine pairings – freaking hilarious.
Luce@FitSwissChick says
BAKLAVA. Oh. MY. GOOOD. It’s the real dessert porn.
Can you believe that amazon still doesn’t deliver to Switzerland? I need to visit you again soon, so I can fill your house with my orders. You know, I need all the supplements, jewelry and jeans 🙂
Laura says
I still haven’t tried to make baklava… it’s on my bucket list big time.
And you can ship things here any time. Or just move here. Whatever.
