Happy Weekend, Indeed

Happy Weekend, Indeed

Hi guys, and happy weekend! 

I’ve survived two weeks of my first “real world” job, and so far, so good!

I’m loving my coworkers and the work seems right up my alley. It’ll be a while before I’m up to speed, but I’m learning so much and enjoying the process and getting to know my colleagues! 

Anyway, I know I haven’t been on here as much as I wanted to this summer – between finding an apartment, moving in, starting work, and trying to relax and see friends and fam, the chance to blog has slipped away. Ugh!

I thought I would get on here today to say hello and share a few pictures from the past couple weeks. You can also find these pics on my Instagram (@LaurRuns). Follow along for daily photos!

My morning workout + fave post-workout snack!

Loving the new Panera peach blueberry power smoothie with almond milk!

Lunch outside with my mom at one of my favorite casual restaurants in my hometown (before I moved to Boston). Love spending time with her (and the good food doesn’t hurt ;)). This was a spinach wrap with turkey, spicy honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, walnuts, and dried cranberries, plus a side salad. Yum!

One of my work day outfits from last week. I’m fortunate that we have a casual dress code and can wear whatever we want! This means I can still wear all my old college class clothes (minus the workout clothes I usually wore…) or business casual – whatever I’m in the mood for. So nice!

The CEO of our company is amazing and had us all over for food and drinks at her gorgeous home on Tuesday evening. I enjoyed spending time with my coworkers, sipping rosé, and snacking on watermelon (x5), sliders, and mini wraps. Can’t wait for more of these nights in the future!

The scene of my peaceful, quiet Saturday morning – exactly what I needed after super early mornings and busy work days. Waking up naturally (at 8:45), sipping coffee, listening to podcasts, reading magazines, and then getting an awesome 5 miles in (while exploring my new neighborhood) was the perfect start to my weekend.

I hope you guys are enjoying your summer, and that I get to talk to you all again soon!

Am I Going to Regret This…?

Well hello there!

It has been way too long, my friends, but….I’m finally home!!!

PHEW. My papers (one was 25 pages….), final exams, and all the other stuff I had to do is behind me, and let me tell you, it feels AMAZING.

I’m really sad to be away from my best friends and my school, but it feels great to be home with no (school) work to do for months!

I have a ton of pictures and even a few half written posts ready to be finished one of these days, so I will definitely catch up at some point.

In the mean time….

Here is my very first (very short) VLOG!

I had zero plans to do this today, but I suddenly felt the urge to whip out my camera (aka iPhone). I had no idea what I was saying, and only did that one take.

Not sure why I feel so inclined to post it, but it is kinda nice to just say what I could type in an entire long blog post in just a couple minutes.

I would apologize for the awkwardness, but that’s just me. So on second thought, no apologies necessary!

Let me know what you guys think! It’s my first but could very well be my last….

Have a great weekend and see you soon!
