Hey-hey, guys! It’s Friday finally!

So it’s been a while since I shared anything about the things I like, what’s going on with my life these days, and all that – you know, fun stuff

Looking at my blog’s front page lately I realized that all I’ve been posting about was Tasty Tuesdays and Cycling Class Profiles.

Time to share something else with you, like good ol’ days What do you say?

So, here are 5 absolutely random things I’ve been loving lately (random = not related to each other at all).

{ONE} Polar

You probably noticed by now that I have a new badge in the right sidebar. I announced it on Facebook, but I didn’t share it here.

I am extremely excited, proud and honored to be selected as a brand Ambassador for Polar.



I can’t even begin to describe what an honor this is for me!

You guys know that my blog and social media pages looked like promotional sites for Polar FT40 anyway because I use it all the time and LOVE it.

Also, as a Spinning Instructor, I understand the importance and benefits of the heart rate based training.

I think Polar and me will be a perfect match Now meet my new friend – Polar RCX5 Bike Heart Rate Monitor (Red):

Christmas in October – thanks to Polar!

My old friend FT40 was passed on to one of my co-workers who really wanted to try heart rate training. It’s in good hands now… I’ll miss my old friend though – we had a lot of fun together

I’m super excited to be representing such a great brand as Polar!

{TWO} Football

So, I’ve never been a big sports fan, anyway.

Being a soccer fan was once part of my job description, but that was a long time ago…

Growing up in a different country I really wasn’t that much into American football. I remember before moving here I talked to my friend who had lived in the States for years and she asked me if I had picked my team yet. Well, I had no idea what she was talking about back then.

Boy oh boy…Do I have an idea now…

My husband proudly calls himself a football widower now He knows it’s his responsibility to make dinner every Sunday, and he can only talk to his wife at half time

{THREE} Speck iPhone Cases

LOVE those things! I have two of them – one in black and one on raspberry pink/dark raspberry.

The huge advantage of this case is that it is a flip case that allows you to dock your iPhone without taking your case off.

I don’t know if it’s still an issue with the new iPhone 6, but I have an iPhone 5 and it is an issue alright for me. Taking the case off every night before going to bed so I could charge my iPhone on the dock? No more

The case itself is super durable, but doesn’t make your phone feel like a brick in your hand.

Huge fan!

{FOUR} Eminence Clear Skin Line

Ok, guys – skip this one. Ladies – if you like great beauty products, you need this.

So I discovered this product line when my husband treated me to a spa at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego (I know, I was wishing for a husband like that, too before I married him).

Beautiful RB Inn Spa Pool

Eminence Organic Skin Care line was what they used at the spa. The beauty technician there gave me a list of products she used on me that day before I left the place.

I got home and ordered them online. Here’s the list of things I ordered:
Eminence VitaSkin Clear Skin Priobiotic Cleanser 8.4 oz
Eminence Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer, 2 Ounce
Eminence Bright Skin Moisturizer SPF 30 – 2 Fl.oz (60 Ml )
Eminence Hungarian Herbal Mud Treatment 2oz(60ml)

Now, this stuff is WAY over my budget for the skin care products, but I gave in this time and I didn’t regret it – not for a second. In two weeks I’m see a HUGE improvement of my skin condition. I will not change this line for anything now.

It smells kinda funky though – it’s all organic, so no nasty chemicals to mask the natural smell. I will just have to deal with it.

It’s not that bad, really.

So there you have it – your items to go on the Christmas presents’ list for yourself

{FIVE} Sanctuary Hotel, NYC

We stayed at this hotel on our latest trip to NYC for our wedding anniversary, and both hubby and I agreed that’s the best place we’ve ever stayed at in NYC.

Here’s just a few things we loved about the hotel:

Awesome locations (walking distance from Times Square)

The have free fruit infused water/coffee/tea at the lobby for their guests (it was VERY handy getting back to the hotel after a long walk around NYC because I just seemed to run out of water all the time).

One night it was raining outside and they let us borrow an umbrella – the fact that the umbrella had the hotel logo on it makes it obvious that this is not just an act of kindness of the hotel employees, but also a standard service at the hotel – we saw a bunch of people with those umbrellas around the hotel.

They have absolutely amazing rooftop bar!

The have the coolest room service request tags I’ve ever seen

And that’s my Five on Friday, guys
