5 on Friday!

 

Did you see that?? That was the week going by! I cannot believe it is Friday already! With that, I would like to share my 5 on Friday where I share my favorite things or fun things that happened this week. You can link up buy getting the code from this lovely lady's blog "the good life blog" and share your 5 on Friday goodies.

Lets get started because there are fun goodies to share!

Hubby and I shopped until I dropped earlier this week. One of the things on my list was a new camera. I have been researching and talking about DSLR cameras for weeks. I am sure hubby is glad that talk is over! I knew I wanted a Canon so I was on a mission. I really like their products and I find them easier to use compared to the Nikon I have now. The two camera's I was comparing and considering were the Canon SL1 and Canon T3i. Hubby was at Best Buy for some time before me because I HAD to stop in Ulta. ;) Anyways, we ended up comparing Canon SL1, T3i, & T5i. I really liked the SL1. It is light does everything the Ti series does but it just has smaller components. After trying out all the different lenses on the SL1, I liked the 55-135mm lens the best. This lens allows you to capture images up close and far away without having to change lenses. The T5i came with the 55-135mm lens but the SL1 did not. If I wanted the SL1, I would have to pay $550 on the lens which I did not want to do. So...I ended up with the Canon T5i. This baby has only been on the market for 2 months! My heart was pounding on this investment but that is exactly what it is, an investment. Now I'm in learning mode. :)

Also while I was in Best Buy, I purchased the Lifeproof case and the exercise arm band holder thingy. I love these things! I feel so behind in this purchase but that is usually how I am. I do not jump on the band wagon right way with things. It fits nicely and I do not have to worry about it going anywhere. It clips into place which makes it sturdy.

I have started up my work out routine again and a friend told me about my fitness pal. You can either log in through your computer or download the app. I use the app mostly and I am able to input my meals, workouts & and the calories burned. I recommended it if you are trying to track what you eat.

A couple weeks ago I purchased a heart rate monitor & calorie tracker. I bought it off of Amazon because it was cheaper and shipping was hardly anything. You input information about your age, height, and weight into the watch. Then you wear the strap with the heart rate tracker around your rib cage area. (I just tuck it under my sports bra) At first I thought that it would be a nuisance but it does not bother me at all. Then you start your watch and it will search for your heart rate and your time begins. After your workout, stop your watch and you can go through your data to see up to last 6 workouts. The brand I have is the Polar FT4 in the pink.

Who loves Ulta? I do! I found some great goodies! So...I'll share one and then do a follow up on my Ulta haul. I bought a new nail polish! If you know anything about me, then you would know that my nail polish collection is just as bad as my purse collection. It's sad, I know! My new nail polish of choice is called..........drum roll............essie's Sunday Funday! LOVE.LOVE.LOVE!

Until next time....
