Is it just me, or do you guys love waking up early on a Saturday morning, too? It may be the feeling of the whole weekend ahead of me, or just knowing that I get some quiet in the apartment since Elle is still asleep. Either way - I insure time to make the breakfast line at Chick-Fil-A! Come here chicken minis...

This morning I woke up around 7:30, hopped in the shower, did my hair and makeup, scarfed down some chicken minis (and two cups of coffee), then filmed a beauty blabber! I also edited and started the upload all before noon! I feel like I've accomplished so much, and earned myself a Haagen Dazs chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cone. I know the saying, "You are not a dog, do not reward yourself with food." But I beg - like a dog - to differ. Bribe with with a dipped waffle cone and I'll do pretty much anything. With a smile.



What's your favorite part of the weekend? Also, how do you feel about pre-filmed videos?

Hi everyone! So as you guys may or may not know, I’ve training and running a 5K about 3 times a week for the past 5 or 6 weeks. I’ve been really committed and have been consistently improving on my times with each run, however, I noticed a dramatic difference in both my running experience and my time as soon as I switched to a new pair of shoes. 

I got the new Nike Free Run 5.0 shoes, and they’re the kind that make you feel like you’re almost running barefoot. I wasn’t a fan of these before because I didn’t feel like they game my feet enough support, but after hearing so many people suggest that I get them, I decided to give them a try. The day that I tried them out for the first time, my time went down a minute. That might not seem like a lot, but when you feel like you’re already going as fast as you ever could and then you shave that much off your time, it is a big difference!

I got them in black but I’m a little mad at myself for not getting one of the more colorful options. Even if they didn’t go with as many outfits as the black, I still sort of wish I had one of the bright colors. But either way, I’m very happy with my new shoes, and it’s made me appreciate how important it is to make sure that you have the right pair of workout shoes for whatever exercise that you’re doing!

What are your go-to workout shoes these days? Do you have a favorite pair?

A few nights ago, while suffering from my usual insomnia, I decided to embrace it and start filming videos. I ended up filming 2 that night, over a delicious steaming cup of coffee, and the first one was uploaded late last night! Make sure to watch it if you want to catch up with me over a cozy cup of coffee.

Hi lovelies! I found this online the other day and thought it would make a great Glit Fit post.  Each of the four workouts listed above can be completed in the span of a single song (3-5 minutes). I love this idea!! Talk about a smart and simple way to approach your workouts. One of the other great things about it is that no equipment is required to complete any of the exercises listed. That makes this a great fitness idea for just about anyone and also eliminates the two most common excuses for not working out: lack of time and resources. You could customize these routines to fit your fitness needs, too.

And now for the fun part…picking a song. Which song(s) would you choose for your one-song workout? Share your picks below!

P.S. Photo is from here.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone that joined in on my Ask Blair Live Chat on Wednesday. I had SO much fun talking with all of you!! Did you have fun too?! I loved reading all of your questions, and it was really cool to watch everyone chat and tweet about it while it was happening. My only complaint is that the hour flew by too quickly! LOL. Don’t worry, though, I’m already trying to plot when we can do the next one…

If you weren’t able to tune in while it was happening, only were there for part of it, or just want to relive the magic of it all, you can replay the chat HERE.

Now! What do you guys think the theme of my next chat should be? 

Leave your suggestions plus any questions that I wasn’t able to get to in the comments below! (Told you I was already planning )

Happy birthday to my wonderful boyfriend, Sawyer! I baked him Oreo bottom funfetti cupcakes with vanilla icing and skittles on top. I later named these goodies Oreo Butt Cakes!

I decided to film a video showing my sweet treats and ask you guys to do a favor for me to make this the best birthday EVER for him.

Step 1- Go to youtube.com/sawyerhartman and subscribe to his channel, then comment happy birthday on one of his videos!

Step 2 - Tweet him at twitter.com/sawyerhartman with #HappyBirthdaySawyer

Let's spam the heck out of his youtube and twitter.

Thank you so much everyone!
