1. The sunshine outside my window has allowed for nearly naked runs. Aka shorts and tank tops!!!!!! I have my first tan lines of the year. Shorts shorts SHORTS!
2. I did not and will not clean that mirror, even after taking a photo and seeing the filth. That photo was also taken before the tank tops were brought out. It was the first shorts run of the season. These things must be documented.
3. Did I mention the weather has been nice in my area?! That also means busting out the Vibram’s and running WITHOUT socks! Left: socks, right: NO SOCKS!
4. I have made it to $2.00 on my coin counter. You all laughed when I started, laugh no more! $2.00 can ALMOST buy a cupcake!
5. I went to Africa.
Elephant
6. I’ve been tearing through books lately. I just can’t stop reading.
7. I think coffee is one of the most amazing smells in the world. Just the smell makes my bowels quiver. 99% of the time I drink coffee I only drink half the glass. I mean business.
8. I’ve been playing tourist again around Seattle. While there I rode a carousel for the first time in years.
9. Biggest confession of the post: Over the last couple days I have secretly stolen some of my sisters Easter candy to eat. I ate it..I ate her candy. That’s not the confession. The candy is not vegan! It was DELICIOUS! I may have had a cookie or a bite of non vegan cake too. OK no more Easter candy for me.
10. I also ate my body weight in Field Roast on Easter, and make a bunny cookie that could probably win some kind of art show.
Just a little fun fact about me: I do not pluck my eyebrows to be like this, I was just cursed blessed with STUBS that vanish at the end for eyebrows. I’m too lazy for makeup everyday, so if anyone has any magical hair growth HOOK ME UP!
Q: What’s your morning confession?

I love the smell of coffee! I always walk through the coffee aisle in the grocery store just to get that smell…ahhhh.
Her Happy Balance
Love your Vibrams! Do you also have a regular pair of running shoes or do you run in minimalist shoes 24/7? Confession: I don’t plan on doing much work today at work…like pretty much none at all 😉
Brittany
I have another pair of shoes. When I started running once upon a time ago I ran only in the Vibrams, then I started increasing my mileage (half marathons) and I bought some Asics. I ran in only the Asics for like a year, and just recently starting going back and forth between the two!! I like working the different muscles of my legs with the different shoes. Love your confession!
pickyrunner
I love your confessions. I’m in a sugar coma from easter. Running in shorts is the best. I’m so happy it’s warm enough again.
kadeecramer
Love the giant bunny cookie, so cute!
I feel you on the eyebrow situation. My right brow has a chicken pox scar/bald spot and I always feel like people are judging my tweezing skills.
Also I found this store near my Mom’s house that ALWAYS has Vibrams on sale. I want to get some soooo bad.
An Unrefined Vegan
Coffee smell…yes, oh yes.
GiGi Eats Celebrities
I confess that I am 100% turned on by your sexy SELFIE MIRROR photo! LMFAOOOO!!!!!!!! I also have tons of confessions on my stand-up video I posted today, you may not want to be my on-line BFF anymore after that video, ORRRRR you might want to marry me?! I dunno, I dunno!!!
AND WTF – THAT ELEPHANT… When I have a huge ass mansion I will most CERTAINLY have a zoo… Although my zoo will only contain mini animals, so mini giraffes, elephants, hippos, lions (oh wait, I guess that would be a CAT – FAIL!).
Amy @ A Desert Girl
I confess that I love your confession posts. I also confess that I began eating sweets and drinking carbonated beverages BEFORE Lent was officially over in my time zone. It was Easter somewhere.
What have you been reading??
Brittany
I just finished “How to Eat a Cupcake” by Meg Donohue (it was good.) Also “A Land More Kind Than Home” by Wiley Cash (good too, but sad!.) I’ve got four more books now to get cracked on!
Your confession is by far my favorite.
Amy @ A Desert Girl
I confess that I fist pumped the air when I read that you liked my confession. Holllla…
I’ll have to check those books out! I’m reading “The Book Thief” – set in Nazi Germany, so sad, as you can imagine. Very well written.
Alex @ Cookie Dough Katzen
Love the Easter bunny cookie. And that’s okay you ate some non-vegan candy, at least it wasn’t meat! I can totally eat my body weight in Easter candy but not so much health foods. Oh well one day!
Brittany
NO, NO meat..ever. That will never happen haha.
myhighonlife
My confession: I haven’t done a lick of WORK today at work. Per usual.
I can’t run in Vibrams.. I have wonky feet. You look so happy riding the carousel 🙂
cleaneatingveggiegirl
Shorts and tank top weather?? Yahoo for that! 🙂
I just LOVE Field Roast! I have not tried their Celebration Roast, but if it is anything like their sausages then it must be absolutely delicious!
Brittany
The roasts are JUST as good, if not BETTER!!!
Pumpedpumpkin
You’re adorable. Seriously though. Confession: I wanted a piece of choclate so badly last night but was determined to stick to my no chocolate rule, I substituted with all the dried fruit in the house. it’s a slow process hahaha. and I totally only drink 1/2 the glass of coffee every single time. This is why we wouuld be bffs we could make a cup of coffee, split, and be happy!
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile
You crack me up. Coffee is the BEST smell in the entire world, but you better believe I drink the whole cup… or two. 😉 Yay for vibrams!!! I’ve never worn socks with them! haha
Life After Swimming
That COOKIE!!!!! So amazing! And loving this weather, too 🙂
Brittany @ DulceVie
That cookie looks sooooo good 🙂 I looove reading but I have never tried vibrams
spectacuLAUR
You’re so pretty! Stop the negative sarcasm! My eyebrows look like they do in my pictures without plucking them, too…………………………………. Biggest lie ever. BUT ANYWAY, yay for $2.00! You might be able to buy a cupcake and a glorious cup of coffee!
blessedwiththunderthighs
My roommate came home with a huge bag of Easter candy. I ate a handful of those chocolate eggs for a morning snack. That’s my confession for the morning 🙂
Rach @ This Italian Family
It’s a giant bunny cookie! Cute!
HOORAY for tan lines and warmer weather! 🙂
Hannah @ Gypsy Roller's Veggie Kitchen
Thanks to your previous post I too now keep track of loose change. I only have 37 cents so far – which is actually only 35 cents here in Canada seeing as we’ve eliminated the penny – but I’m not discouraged! You’re doing quite well for yourself at 2 bucks.
Brittany
This is my favorite comment EVER! Send your pennies my way, we still use em here!!
Hannah @ Gypsy Roller's Veggie Kitchen
Haha! I think one of them might even be an American one cent – so you’re SET 🙂
Nicole @ Fruit N Fitness
I love the smell of good coffee! We have a coffee machine at work and it smells horrible, but at least it keeps me from drinking coffee all day long! I have capri tan lins from my lone run this weekend.
Khushboo Thadani (@KhushbooThadani)
Coffee or freshly baked cookies- what scent would you rather be immersed in?? I’m glad I am the one asking because I could NOT choose between the 2 ;)!
Lindsay Brook
Do you like running in the 5 fingers? I am so curious about them! Also your eyebrows are amazing! I have the opposite problem.. where I have to pluck day and night!
Brittany
I love running in them!! When I first started running I ran in five fingers. I am trying to increase my five finger mileage because when I do longer runs I wear my Asics, but the five fingers make me feel lighter!
foods for the soul
I love your “Confession” posts; I laugh at every one and want to write little responses to each! I’ll try to refrain and just respond to a few…
(8) When I went to Disneyland, I HAD to ride the carousel at least twice. And pick a horse that actually went up and down. There’s nothing like little carnival rides that make me feel like a little kid again!
(9) There’s nothing wrong with taking a quick cheat break! Especially for a holiday with as much yummy candy as Easter. It’s downright impossible to avoid all of the (milk) chocolate bunnies and eggs, marshmallow Peeps, and jelly beans!
(10) I want that bunny!! I’d eat the entire thing in one sitting. (After taking photos, of course.)
Hmm, my morning confession… I ate a dark chocolate Easter egg (Hershey’s makes those now, so I don’t have to suffer through the milk chocolate ones anymore!) as my breakfast “dessert.” So worth it!
Rebecca @ Blueberry Smiles
Loved this post! I’m so excited for shorts weather too and can’t get enough coffee smell. My confession is that I’ve been reading blogs the past hour instead of working 🙂
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats
Oo how do you find running in vibrams? Did you have to slowly increase your distance?
Your bunny cookie is too cute 🙂 I also love the smell of coffee except I don’t even drink coffee anymore so I mean serious business.
My mum has the same eyebrows as you and when she was younger she always got in trouble with my grandma for not using the eyebrow pencil she bought her. Apparently she was always like ‘draw on your eyebrows, draw on your eyebrows’ 🙂
Brittany
I lovee running in my Vibrams. I actually only wore Vibrams when I first started running. Then I started to increase my miles and switched to a more supported shoe. Now I go back and forth! If you’ve never worn these shoes before then yes, most definitely slowly increase your miles. The first run I ran in these a few years back was I think a 3miler, and I couldn’t walk down the stairs right for days!! My calves were SO tight!
Choc Chip Uru
Glad it’s warming up my friend 😀 (though I love your winter gear!)
Cheers

Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Admit it… you stole my sunshine! It was nice here this morning and then the clouds rolled in and changed all that. Bugger. At least it’s warm though. But I’m not sure I’d be willing to walk around in shorts yet. I’m a wimp when it comes to the cold, and as much as I want summer to come, i’m not sure bringing out the short shorts and freezing my butt off is going to make it come any faster. And coffee… nectar of the gods ❤

Two Confessions:
Carnival rides get scarier to me the older I get… when I was young? No problem. Now a carousel ride is a long time to think about “what if?” (0:
I have to pencil in my eyebrows so they are visible… and I feel naked without it and its a pain in my jank.
Bunny Eats Design
That bunny cookie is amazing. I approve 🙂
dorseyml
you could try latisse. but your eyebrows are perfect just the way they are…
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I love your confession posts. They are such dirty fun, and maybe literally judging by that mirror. 😉
I have half eyebrows too, but I powder them in daily. No wonky liner for me.
I’m so envious of your lovely city and equally lovely weather.
My confession: I want to eat your non vegan cupcakes and clean your mirror.
Brittany
Can I still be in the OCD club because I swear I’m self proclaimed obsessive, just not with this mirror hahaha.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I wouldn’t dream of kicking you out. Plus, I think us OCD folks have at least one thing that isn’t OCD. For example, my bed. I NEVER make it unless I just washed the sheets or company is coming that might see my bedroom (why should they be seeing my bedroom), and usually the bed and even my bedroom is in total disarray, which is to say it’s slightly messy and always unmade. 🙂
TorontoRunner
I am soooo happy about the nicer weather!
oooh, virbrams!! Do you love them??
I’m always so intrigued with them!
Barbara Bamber | justasmidgen
Oh, it looks so nice and warm there!! And if I had your legs.. I’d be wearing mini skirts, even at my age (which will be unmentioned, ahem). I have my own secret stash of easter chocolate, seriously the easter bunny seems to forget the mothers, I wonder why?? xx
Sarah @ Feeeding the Brain and Body
I go through phases where I tear through books like no tomorrow. Right now I am in a phase where I am only crawling my way slowly through the pages. The summer is the best reading time for me because confession: I read and walk at the same time when it is warm enough! Your eyebrows look great to me, don’t even worry about having to wear makeup every day! 🙂
Britta
Hahahaha you kill me. That bunny cookie is da best thing in the worrrlddd!! My eyebrows are just like yours! They just don’t grow at the end! ughh, my sister always hounds me to “pencil them in” but I am soooo freaking lazy. Heck no. Who cares anyways?!
Heather @ HeatherRunsFast.com
I want to ride a carousel! How fun 🙂 And I LOVE the smell of coffee, however, only half a cup would be a tease! My confession is that I secretly love the tan lines I get in the summer! I “wear” them like a badge of honor, haha. I definitely the most interesting looking of my friends at the beach!
kathy @ vodka and soda
i go through phases where i devour books. this time around, i’m trying to love the harry potter series but so far, it’s “meh”.
and my confession is that i should be doing work since i’m on deadline tomorrow but instead, i’m lurking your blog
Melissa @ Mouthwatering Morsel
my coworker drinks this coffee that smells like something’s burning. I think it’s roast something. idk … it smells bad …so some coffee does not pass that test haha
Luv What You Do
Love the carousel picture!
So jealous of your warm weather. The sunshine is calling my name but it is still only 40 degrees ish. Socks for me!
jessielovestorun
I’ve always wanted to try out vibrams but just never have… how do you like them compared to running in sneakers?
Confession* So as I was scrolling through your comments to leave a reply I totally had to backtrack… you had wrote pennies in one response, and I totally thought you said penis! ((get yo mind outta the gutter Jessie, lol))
Brittany
I loveee the Vibrams! They make me feel like a gazelle galavanting through the forest! They are much lighter than my sneakers, and lately I’ve been going back and forth a lot!
HAHAHA ohh man, I just went back to look at which comment that was. If I had said “send your penis my way,” that would have been awkward!! So good. AHA.
kaityscooking
Hahaha you crack me up…jealous of your africa safari too.. Shorts and tank runs r honestly the best! I wore shorts the other day but kicked myself bc I got to excited over the sun bein out wn it was still 40 degrees lol… Good job on the coin counter, I introduced mine to the kids the other day and now when they find change they put it in for me, chachingggg
Angela @ Health's Angel
I love the smell of coffee, but I just can’t drink it. I love mocha-flavored things and chocolate covered espresso beans but I just can’t hang with the black coffee/any coffee drinkers! I’m a tea person. 🙂
Envious of your shorts and tank weather. Today, I am sitting at work with two heaters blasting under my desk and wearing my jacket. Spring…?
noshingonasphalt
Your bunny should definitely win some sort of award. I’m with you on the coffee, I absolutely adore the smell but don’t like the taste (unless it’s all doctored up and then it really not coffee…). Hooray for shorts and bring on the sexy runner’s tan lines!
di @ life of di.
– I know what you mean about the smell of coffee. There is just something about it that makes me so happy 🙂 It doesn’t matter what time of day or where I’m at – I just LOVE that smell 🙂
– I’m jealous that you are close enough to Seattle to visit. UGH. Why don’t I like in the Pacific Northwest?!
– I have been reading so much less ever since I started my Whole Foods job and it’s really bumming me out. I hope I can figure out a way to start reading more throughout the day.
erinksage
Haha, I like your confession about not cleaning that mirror. I pride myself on my cleaning skills, but I also have no problem letting dust and toothpaste and whatever else grime up a mirror and letting it sit there for a solid 6 mos. 🙂
Also, I’m curious – does going with or without socks in those running shoes cause any sort of uncomfortable rubbing on your feet or blisters? I imagine the fit would be slightly different depending on whether you were wearing socks or not…
My “confession” is really just a compliment – you have awesome legs!
Brittany
The socks don’t make a huge difference, the shoe fits a tad snugger with the socks and I suppose they would help prevent any blistering as well. I like to think they keep my toes warmer! You are too kind with that compliment haha. Thank you!
P
I’m so glad I can wear running shorts without freezing now! Haha. And that evening runs are crazy warm!!
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because
That bunny cookie is really impressive!!!!! I would eat the ears first, I think.
Megan
hahah love this! I rocked shorts this week too and it was awesomeeee. When did you start running in the toe shoes?! How do you like them?
Brittany
I actually wore these shoes when I first started running once upon a time ago! I love them, but I switched to sneakers when I started running longer distances. Now I try to switch back and forth! The Vibrams are def more or a spring shoe though, otherwise my toes freeze!
Sarah
Yay for warmer weather! This is super exciting and your right must be documented. Vibrams are the best but I cannot manage them with socks, aka they are my spring/fall shoes 😉 I hardly ever finish my entire cup of coffee – I don’t understand why because it smells and tastes so good. Habit perhaps? You look so happy in each photo here I love it! My morning confession is that I’m currently sitting on my floor on my yoga mat in criss-cross (applesauce) and skipping class for a mental health day – whoops! Enjoy your day Brittany!
Life's a Bowl
Haha whattt an elephant?! Confession today: the lunch I packed is staying packed… I gotta go out, I’m ravenous and I need something substantial. Shhh, don’t tell my husband 😛
B
My confession is I’m ready for a nap! LOL But yay for shorts!
Tessa at Amazing Asset
The smell of coffee is absolutely glorious! I do enjoy coffee but only about once per day, yet the smell gets me everytime 🙂 Wahooo for warmer weather… a favorite thing to do is exactly what you did, wear shorts out for a run! A wonderful feeling that first time you do so, when you know the seasons are finally making a change
Leesa D
I feel your pain on the brows (although you always look gorgeous) did you see my post about waxing off my eyebrow? Well it never did grow back the same and now the one is still rather stubby. This is why I love my bangs 🙂
I am also excited about tank top running weather. Can’t wait!!
IHeartVegetables
That is an epppppic cookie haha. You’re quite a decorator!
