1. BOOM fall has hit, and the temperatures are dropping. This means GLOVES on my runs! My mom is such a fabulous photographer, she has a sharp eye for blurry photos. I’m also clearly dressed to impress, this will be the outfit I meet my soul mate in. HA!
2. I downloaded Spotify and I haven’t turned it off since. OH MY GOSH. So much love.
3. Starbucks released its new coffee. I am obsessed. It is SO good. It’s creamy and smooth, with a nice tangy bite. I just love cofffffeeeeee.
4. I am afraid of Netflix. My friend added me to her family account, and I was so overwhelmed by all the shows I ended up just watching 2 hours of Portlandia.
5. I LOVE MY BLOG FRIENDS! Holy cow. I am falling in love with fall all over again thanks to my beloved Lily. After telling her I had some tricky emotions attached to the season, she sure knew how to make sure I got just as excited this year as I have in the past
GOSH my friends are SWELL!
6. I am officially no longer the “newbie” at work. Whoop whoop! Although I only really felt new for the first month, I caught on pretty quick and ended up fitting right in.
7. I never buy myself things..like…ever. I hate spending money (unless it’s on food or running gear) and I decided I deserved some new things. I bought a new jacket, a new shirt, new earrings, and A NEW BAG THAT I AM SO OBSESSED WITH!
This appears as if the bag on the left is a tiny version of the bag on the right, but this is in fact the same bag and two pictures pasted together haha. Also, this is FAUX LEATHER! YAHOO!
8. I thought about shutting down my blog a couple months ago. I’m glad I didn’t.
9. I have to soak my feet in the bathtub when it gets cold because I easily loose blood flow. Sometimes I have company when I do this.
I can’t stop laughing at the picture on the right.
10. There is a customer that comes into my work a lot, and he is beautiful. Thank you God for creating such a masterpiece for me to drool at while I pull espresso shots.
Q: CONFESS TO ME!

whoa those bags are gorgeous, like down right beautiful. I love the customer drool, we all have those. even at the store a few fine gems come in 🙂
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats
Love that Lily sent you all those things!
As cold as I get in winter I’ve only run with gloves once and my hands got so sweaty I couldn’t do it again but my hands do get so cold when I run!
I so wish I still had a bath tub to do that with! So glad you didn’t shut down!
Brittany
My hands actually get pretty sweaty after like 2 miles and I take them off, but sometimes I NEEEEEED them just to step out the door because my hands FREEZE!
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats
I have the worst circulation and pretty much always have cold hands, when I run it is 10 times worse so I feel your pain!
The Savvy Sister
Ha! it looks like she’s taking a bite out of your shoulder!
Rebecca@Running.Food.Baby.
I love the bag!
Netflix America styles is so much better than the Canada one – there is a way to get it, but I think I would watch way too much of it! 🙂
kelly @ racesrepsramblings
Yay!! This is such a happy Friday random post and makes me happy!! It is fall – officially! Hooray. Also – crazy that you are already in gloves for runs. Nuts. Sort of hard to believe it’s that time again. SO happy you’re not feeling like the newbie at work anymore, that’s awesome. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Amy @ A Desert Girl
I’m glad you didn’t shut your blog down! What would I have done without your awesomeness in my Reader?? LOVE the pic of your running gear and LOVELOVELOVE the soaking-feet pics – your supervisor is both fascinated and horrified by what you’re doing.
Erin
So you look exactly like one of my barre teachers named Hope! Like body and face…crazy!! And that’s a good thing by the way (;
Love the bag and coffee…YUMMMMM
Nicole Marie Story
Hi, friend! It’s been way too long! You look divine. And what?! Seeking a soulmate? What happened to manfriend? AND I have a new blog! I hope you’ll visit. 😉 xo
Brittany
Oh my!! It sure has been a while when the word “manfriend” is mentioned. He and I have gone our separate ways, it’s been almost 5 months now. I am not reaaallllyyy seeking a soul mate, no no no…not right now at least. My Mr.Big is out there, but for now I am embracing (trying to at least haha) the single life!! 🙂
I shall venture to your new blog STAT! I sure have missed your comments, thanks for saying hello!! MUAAAHH!! XOXOXO
Christine @ Gotta Eat Green
I’m so glad you didn’t shut down your blog!! Sometimes I feel like I don’t post enough so I should shut mine down… but it makes me happy, even if sometimes I only get one post in a week. So happiness wins and blog stays! 🙂
Lisa
I’ve already whipped out the gloves too…my friends like to make fun of me for it – but it just gets so darn cold out!
Okay, I need to try Starbucks’ new coffee. Clearly I have an addiction to the stuff already – so I’m sure I’ll love it.
And agreed blog friends are the best! I’m SO happy you didn’t shut down your blog…don’t know what I’d do without your awesome posts.
I have actually thought of doing the same a few times…but in the end I don’t go through with it.
An Unrefined Vegan
Brittany. You make me so happy. Please, please, please don’t give up on your blog!!
Brittany
I won’t!! 🙂
Meghan @ fitnesscrEATures
HAHAH number 10!!!!!!!! I love looking at male masterpieces! That cracked me up!! 🙂 🙂 So does your awesome cat!! 🙂
And YES to everything about that outfit. When it gets that cold down here, we can match together. Gloves during runs are crucial when it’s that cold! AH!
Britta
hahaha I always creep on beautiful customers!!! Yesterday, I was helping a beautiful man who told me he decided he was going to run the Juan de Fuca trail this weekend (first sign of attraction), he had a british accent (second sign), and he was tall, dark, and handsome (third sign) and well.. I was swooning. Immediately after he left, I turned around to my coworkers (who were all dudes) and said… “OMG did you see HIM?!? He was delicious!” – they started laughing and will never let me live it down 😀 ahhh, I love work crushes. LOVE THEM.
You look absolutely adorable when you run!! LEGS FO DAYYZZZZZ!!! Such a babe. Love the bag, totally thought you bough 2 in different sizes. Netflix ruins meeeeeeee!!! I get nothing done, I have absolutely no idea how I graduated university with an account. Also, Grey’s started last night soooo I am pretty sure I will do nothing on thursday nights not but sit and watch that and cry. This is a really long comment. 😀
Britta
OH AND I AM SO HAPPY YOU DIDN’T SHUT DOWN YOUR BLOG. I would dig a hole and never come out again if you would have done that! XO
Brittany
Tall, dark, FOREIGN, handsome, runner!?!?!?! WHATTTTT! Is that even real life!?!? WOOF I would have been all over that with you hahaha.
P
I love those small-ish shoulder bags! They are stylish yet perfect for carrying day-to-day stuff. All I can say is your cat is adorable…such a funny “mirror” image ;)!
mom
well that little phone camera of yours is really hard to focus on. I need MY REAL camera and the you’ll be focused. not to mention you grab me in the middle of doing something with, “take a picture, I need it now.” I fear you’ll wake me in the middle of a sleep at 2am to ‘take a picture’. 😉
thoughtsappear
Does your real camera have film?
Brittany
No, her camera is a digital camera…bahahaha.
thoughtsappear
That’s good. My grandparents have a camera that uses film…and they have to wind it after each picture. Boo and Radley were so confused when they saw it.
thoughtsappear
For future reference: Do NOT shut down your blog.
Gillian @ That's G
I just went down a major Portlandia rabbit-hole the other night on Netflix! haha. it’s either really funny or SUPER weird, but I like it!
Brittany
Agreed, I like everything on Portlandia EXCEPT the skits where they switch gender roles..that shit is weird…hahahaha.
Amy
AHH I LOVE your confessions posts!!
1.) I look just as purdyyyyy as you in my running gear. Big baggy shirts, black spandex, and a bright green headband. Yowza!
3.) Oh man, citrus and dark chocolate?? That sounds AMAZING! So glad I finally decided to try coffee!! But I’m attempting to stay away from too much caffeine, so do they have a decaf version yet?
5.) I really hope you have just as many sweet memories from this fall as you do from years past!!
8.) THANK GOODNESS!!! I would have missed you and your witty, hilarious posts so much. And I would have flown up to Washington just to convince you to start back up again.
9.) Do you have Raynaud’s syndrome?? I have that and lose the circulation in my fingers, toes, and nose SO quickly. Like, just from walking down the ice cream aisle at the grocery store. SO not fun!
Have a beautiful Friday Brittany!!! 🙂
Brittany
3.) AH no decaf version yet, I’ll let you know if they get one!
9.) YESSS!!! AHHH haha I was going to write that in there, but no one knows what Raynaud’s is so I just say I have bad blood circulation hahaha!! WHOO TWINS!
Amy
3.) YAY please do!! Also, I started a book called “How Starbucks Saved My Life,” and I think of you while reading it. Just because you work there too. :]
9.) Ohmygosh YAY I’m not the only one! It seems to run in our family, but people think we’re just weird. (Which, um, we are.) You are SO brave to live in the cold and rain with Raynaud’s — I just couldn’t do that!!
allieksmith
Yaaaaaaaay for beautiful customers. Chicka chicka YEAH!!!!
What a good idea to soak your feet in hot/warm water. I am always losing circulation when it’s cold. Like to the point that my toes turn black/purple. TMI? Maybe?
My mom takes the BEST blurry pic, too LOL!
Brittany
AHH NO it’s not TMI, mine turn purple/white/blue/red..it’s like a rainbow affect on my feet. HAHA! The soaking really helps!
Heather @ HeatherRunsFast.com
I would have hunted you down if you had shut this bad boy down. Hunted.You.Down! Remember that the next time it crosses your mind. I too have horrible circulation and will most def be doing the feet soaking thing… never thought about it before, but it’s brilliant!
You totally need to snap a pick of McDreamy. Just pretend you’re taking a selfie and get him in the background…. no, wait, don’t do that. Then you’ll look lame for taking a selfie. Pretend your texting and BAM hit the camera button. Jealous of your weather btw.
ahellams
It is insane that you are already geared up like that and I am just now stoked to be able to wear a tee-shirt!! Can’t wait for some cool, crisp, fall runs!!
Choc Chip Uru
Ngaw you are so cute haha hate being a newbie anywhere 😛
And LOVE NETFLIX FOR LIFE 😀
Cheers
CCU
Meredith
I can totally relate on hating to spend your hard-earned money on things, but we all deserve to do it once in a while and you got yourself a beautiful bag, that’s for sure! Running gloves are right around the corner for me too, I am going to try to be excited about it 😉
yay for you having some eye candy at work, that is the best!!
Elizabeth
Holy crap. if you ever shut this blog down I will cry tears for the rest of my life!! stay, dear heart, stay!!!
YES! that purse is adorbs. I never buy anything for myself either- food and running shoes are about the size of it!
Hannah
Hahaha the cat in that last picture! The yawn is funny, but the stare on the left looks downright sinister. Amazing.
If you love Spotify you should check out Songza. It’s free, no adds and really really extensive. I don’t work for them, I’m just a fan! This playlist in particular houses all of my jamz: http://songza.com/listen/90210-slumber-party-songza/
Brittany
AHH I love free!! I don’t want to pay for Spotify! Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
Mary
Glad you didn’t shut down your blog!!! 🙂
I can’t ever wear gloves when I run. Even though my hands start out like purple blocks of ice, within minutes they are super hot, and if I’m wearing gloves I have to claw at them to get them off!
pickyrunner
What the heck man this just showed up in my reader! Anyways, I’m going to be really selfish and say I’m super excited you aren’t giving up blogging. I would miss you too much. Also, I love not feeling like a newbie at work anymore and I still kind of am. Except now there’s someone newer than me so I get to pretend I’m more experienced. I can’t wait until it’s cold enough for me to wear winter running clothes. Quarter zips are my jam. I’m not a fan of wearing gloves but I love all the other winter running gear!
katalysthealth
NOOOOOOO you did NOT think about shutting down your blog! You crazy woman, you can’t leave me! Glad you decided to stick around babe 🙂
There’s so much to say about this post I don’t know where to start. Ok so
1. you are adorable with your gloves. I used to wear gloves on the soccer field for early morning games but then I realized that they would get super wet since Im always on the ground having to push myself back to my feet. lol
2. What the heck is spotify? I’m so behind the times…
3.That bag is ADORBS! Im such a purse whore. I get one almost every Christmas and bday, because well I will never NOT be happy with one lol
4. You’re cat seriously creeps the heck out of me
5. Heck yes for Starbucks hotties! :):)
Brittany
2. Spotify is like Pandora, except you can pick all the songs you listen to and make playlists! Butttt then you have to pay for it and I don’t wanna do that!
4. I laughed out loud so hard at this!!!
5. Swoon..<3
spectacuLAUR
I love your running outfit! I always tell my mom I want to meet my future husband (yeah, right) in running gear with no makeup on. Lol And I can’t imagine the glorious people you see in Starbucks. I would love to have this job because it gives you an opportunity to talk to GOOD LOOKING people. I love, love, LOVE your new blog background! And never shut down your blog. I’ll cry. 😦 ❤ ❤ ❤ Keep your head up lovely, I'm just an e-mail away!
Alisha's Appetite
omgomgomg I NEED that new coffee! I hate buying bags of starbucks coffee though because I still feel like I should be getting my pound a week- even though I haven’t worked for them in 3 years! Netflix is SUPER overwhelming! May I recommend the walking dead if you haven’t seen it yet?! And I totally remember there being a couple of drop dead gorgeous guys who came in everyday to get espresso…I would always awkwardly put my head as close to the espresso machine so I wouldn’t make eye contact for fear of melting from his gorgouesness 😉
Brittany
Bahaha ohhh I wish we worked together at Starbucks.
Emily
That first pic – HAWT – you so fly gurl. You will totally meet the love of your life like that because they will see your TRUE BEAUTY and no that was no me being sarcastic! I also have a deep love for spotify – it is alwaaaaays open on my comp. Oh and I meant to say this when you said you had a real life pen-pal but now you’re talkin about sharing gifts with your blog friends and I WANNA SEND YOU THINGS FROM THE FURTHEST CORNER OF THE STATES! it would probs take like 9 years to get to you but thats okay I want to. Please? I promise not to send you weird things
Brittany
WE CAN BE PEN PALS TOO!!!!
jessiebearwhat
1) I need that coffee. Now. 2) I LOVE that bag!!
Mary @ Fit and Fed
Hi Britt, I’m glad you are finding sources of TLC, love the care package and it’s great that you shopped for yourself!
Davida @The Healthy Maven
Thank GOD you did not shut your blog down. Please don’t have thoughts like this again 😉
Also I totally soak my feet in the tub too when it gets cold 🙂
Melissa @ Al Forno Mementos
maybe that masterpiece will become your soul mate! you have to be wearing that outfit though soooo make it work! glad you didn’t shut your blog down. I would be so sad! I love you! In the non creeper way …… awkward. haha
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate
For some reason I LOVE running in gloves 🙂
dorseyml
I love the new background of you blog site!! very fall!!
Katherine
I am jamming out to spotify as I comment on this post. I’m a little too obsessed. I even got the app for my phone. Gosh! Love that blurry picture of you in your clothes. Though it technically is fall, it’s still hot in Texas. I guess I”ll have to enjoy fall vicariously through your blog. This new background is helping me have some virtual weather change though!
sincerelylily
Ahhh love this post! You look quite sophisticated as a runner. You’ll have to pack warm running things bc we are going on a wedding day morning run and you are the only girl I know that can do mileage with me! And Megan of course. Sooo happy you didn’t stop blogging. And it sounds like work is going super so that is awesome 🙂 I’m sure the hunky man whom u speak of helps too…. Is that purse from kohls????
Brittany
YESS the purse is from Khols…good eye my friend!! It was on sale AND I got 15% off on top of that..wHOOO! AHHH MORNING WEDDING RUN I am so excited..are we going to run together..becauseee…we all know you are like a road runner compared to me sooo..you will have to neck it back A LOT to stay at my pace. I will try to push a bit too of course! 😉
Change of Pace
Your running outfit is adorable; I hope you meet your soulmate in just that! (I met Kelly in sweaty gym clothes…at least he knew what to expect me to look like on a regular basis!)
I’m very happy you decided to keep writing your blog. And I’m glad you bought yourself some fun stuff!
In Vancouver this weekend I splurged on a few sweaters and boots. Hard to resist shopping on holidays!
Luv What You Do
My cats fallen into the tub with me : )
My feet get crazy cold too!
My confession…I didn’t run this weekend and drank too much bubbly last night. Now I am exhausted!
Ja @Ja on the RUN
#1. I’ve been running with gloves lately. My body would be warm but my hands will stay cold. Gloves are a must for me running in cold weather. 🙂
#3. I need to try this coffee. Thanks for sharing. Love love coffee!
#7. Cute bag! Love it!
#8. Glad you are still here. Don’t leave! 😦
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I can’t stop laughing at the cat picture either, and you probably will meet your soulmate in running gear. He’ll be in something similar and that’s how you’ll know he’s the one. Confession: I am not romantic, but tonight it was hard to watch the Hubby leave for the week. I miss him already, and I guess I’m a total sap now.
Brittany
Awww, I’m sorry your boo bear had to go!! That’s shitty, I wouldn’t like that one stinkin bit!! Maybe this will make you more romantic. 😉
jessielovestorun
You had thoughts of shutting down your blog? Oh heavens! I most likely would’ve shed a tear – or two, had you gone through it. Glad you came to your senses & decided not. I mean, everyone needs some Brittany in their lives =)
di @ life of di.
1) I’ve heard good things about Spotify but have yet to look into it. I’ll have to do so now 🙂 2) I saw that Starbucks had that Ethiopian blend this morning but went for the Blonde Roast instead. I typically bounce back between the Blonde and Dark Roast so I’ll have to check that out at somepoint this week too! 3) Portlandia is in my Netflix queue. I added it after we visited Portland last summer. I’ve heard good things! 4) Soo glad you didn’t shut down your blog. I love reading! You always crack me up!
Rach @ This Italian Family
I am SO glad you didn’t stop blogging!! I would have been so sad! You are one of my favorites! 🙂
Christopher tried the Ethopian blend yesterday and he really liked it. I stuck with my prissy, high maintenance drink. 😉 Glad you have a hottie to make your days a little better. 😉 You should get his number!
Eating 4 Balance
I think I’m obsessed with your new bag as well. 😀
I am also glad that you didn’t shut down your blog. You’re so funny!
kathy @ vodka and soda
if you shut down your blog, i will hunt you down and kick you in the crotch, YOU FEEL ME?!? opening my feedly and seeing your new posts make me happy and no one messes with my happiness!
now, getting down to bidness. please take a picture of the eyegasm man and post it please. we all want to know what he looks like.
Brandi
Never heard of spotify! Why in the world would you think of shutting your blog down?? Oh no! That cat picture is hilarious….looks hungry and wants a bite out of you! Lol!
