Started the weekend off right with crossfit, running, some dumbell squats, and toe-to-bars. I'm starting to understand more and more the importance of form while exercising. I was doing squats completely wrong and my knees starting popping and hurting. Not good! Luckily I have some great instructors that keep me from hurting myself.
After Crossfit, I met up with Chris and we went to the Mall. We decided to start a wedding registry at Macy's and it was completely overwhelming. There was this "registry consultant" who basically followed us around the store asking if we liked anything, and if we were going to scan anything onto our registry. I hate shopping with sales reps following you around. So frustrating having someone butting into your conversations and telling you what to buy. We ended up leaving pretty quickly and I'm not sure if we're going to register at Macy's at all now. What really did it for me, was the lady convincing us to scan a $90 bath mat. Really? I can get the same one at target for $20.
Good part about the mall was getting my nails done! I'm going to Mexico this week for a work trip and wanted to get Shellac so that I didn't have to worry about my nails chipping. I tried the new trend where you have one nail different than the rest. Not sure if I'd do it again or not, but it's a fun trend to try.
On Wednesday of this week I'm headed to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico! It's a trip for work for the top performers in the company. I'm super excited. I've never been to a resort before, much less one this nice! I started packing my suitcase tonight, I've found the best way to travel light is to roll your clothes. The picture below on the left is all my dresses rolled into log shapes. This keeps them wrinkle free and allows me to pack more clothes! Picture right is my fabulous new Tory Burch sunglasses. Love bargains at the Rack!

We met up with a bunch of friends for a Birthday Dinner in Capitol Hill. It kind of turned into a mess, we couldn't get a table anywhere and all ended up crowding around the bar in a Mexican restaurant. It definitely could have been planned better, but we still had fun.
