Happy Monday fabulous friends!
Guess who I saw this weekend? If you were following on Instagram you probably saw a glimpse of this cutie!
Ryder is my brother's new dachshund and he is so adorable. Can't you just smell the puppy breath? I might have tried to sneak him away in my purse.
I had so much fun hanging out with Ryder and his older brother Solow. I always wanted a gaggle of dachshunds and finally I feel like I'm getting somewhere.
I also had some fabulous food including this really pretty stuffed pineapple.
What a fun weekend.
Now to celebrate a fresh new week, it's time for another Things I'm Loving Lately. I can't believe it's my 20th one! This has been a once a month feature on Running in a Skirt for almost two years now. You can catch up on what you missed on my Things I'm Loving Lately Page.
Things I'm Loving Lately 20
Batiste Dry Shampoo
I'm obsessed with dry shampoo, but have not yet committed to one brand I want to stick with. Last time I bought Batiste Dry Shampoo in the tropical scent. It is currently taking the lead of my search. I love this stuff and the smell is amazing. It's pineapple-coco-nutty... without being too strong. It seems like... well Hawaii.
They also have Cherry, Wild and Floral scents.<--- all with adorable matching bottles. I'm kind of fascinated. They also have a blend for brunettes that I'm curious about. It does leave a little bit of a white powder behind, but it brushes out.
Watching New to Me Movies
I somehow missed watching a lot of popular movies. I told you how I'd never seen Star Wars before earlier this month. I've also never seen the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and the list goes on. The Hubs has a little free time before his work gets crazy again, so we've been catching up on old movies! We started the Lord of the Rings and are moving onto the Hobbit next. I was so scared for poor Frodo!
It's a nice way to enjoy the evenings while TV is on repeats.
Green Blender Smoothies
I've got to tell you guys, I am genuinely impressed and kind of obsessed with Green Blender Smoothies. I did an entire post on them earlier in the month, but I could not pass up another chance to tell you how awesome I think their product is. This is not part of the sponsored post, just some extra love for something I really like. Green Blender packages the ingredients for some seriously yummy and unique smoothies and ships it to your door. Game. Changer.

Headsweats Endurance Bands
Headsweats sent me a couple of their headbands to try out and I'm loving them. I have a lot of flyaways when I put my hair in a pony tail and I'm a really sweaty runner. I love the soft, wider band headbands and these are working like a charm!
Ryder
Of course this adorable puppy is on the list. I mean... come on....
Thanks for stopping by today! See you tomorrow for a healthy twist on Potato Cheddar Soup that actually has no potatoes. Curious? See you tomorrow for the answers!
I'm linking up with Marvelous Monday.
Your turn!
What are you loving lately?
Paula says
I have 4 doxies, one long hair 3 with short hair... A gaggle of pup-a-lots 😉 would sneak in another if the hubby wasn't so observant!
JulieWunder says
You do have a real gaggle!! I'm more than a little jealous 🙂 I'd totally sneak more if I could.
Jess @hellotofit says
I want to snuggle with that puppy! Hehe
I'm loving my S'well bottles...I can't leave the house without them!
Pragati // Simple Medicine says
Your pups are so adorable!!! OMG!
JulieWunder says
Thanks! My Brother has the best dogs!
Farrah says
SO DARN ADORABLE! _>
I love tropical scents, so I'd be all over that dry shampoo! <3 I still haven't seen most of the Harry Potter's (shhhh), but I plan to someday?!
JulieWunder says
He's so adorable!!
Beth @ Sublimely Fit says
Ahh, puppy!!! Thank you so much for the puppy photos; those just made my night. Puppies are especially great when they belong to other people because you can play with them and then give them back to their owners, who have to deal with sharp puppy teeth and incessant chewing 24/7. 😉 I'm also obsessed with dry shampoo. Have you tried Dove's volumizing dry shampoo? It's pretty inexpensive and I'll sometimes even use it on clean hair for a little extra volume. I'm totally in love with it!
JulieWunder says
I haven't tried Dove's yet! I'll add it to my list!
And yes... that puppy is adorable but WOW a lot of work!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I love Headsweats visors but I had no idea they had headbands now! I'll have to check them out!
JulieWunder says
They are really nice!
Mandi Korn says
Ryder is soooooo cute, I would have tried to sneak him in my purse too
JulieWunder says
They've caught onto my puppy stealing games 🙂
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
Ryder!!! I. Die.
JulieWunder says
I know!!!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I haven't tried dry shampoo but I could sure use it today! My hair needs a wash...maybe one of those cute headbands would help?
JulieWunder says
Haha! It would! I highly recommend try shampoo! Changed the way I do my hair.
Mary Beth Jackson says
The puppy is adorable! I don't know what we did before dry shampoo came along, seriously! I haven;t tried that brand though so I will keep an eye out! Have a great week!
JulieWunder says
I know! I save myself so much time not having to fix my hair every day.
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I am such a dog person. So cute! I have received a bottle of dry shampoo for Christmas and have yet to try it. Every time I work out I feel like that may not be enough so I wash my hair completely. Maybe I will try it on a day I don't work out. I have never seen any of the Star Wars, Hobbit, or Harry Potter movies. I really have no desire.
JulieWunder says
Yes! Give it a shot! It has helped my hair so much. I feel like it takes a little while for your hair to get used to not being washed everyday-- but when it happens it's amazing 🙂
Blane Sherer says
Glad you had a great weekend.
Ryder is a cutie ( smile ).
JulieWunder says
He is! Thank you!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I can't even with the puppy. Seriously, I die. And love me some dry shampoo!
JulieWunder says
I know! I really wanted to steal him 🙂
Jaime says
I think you need a whole litter of dachshund puppies! Ryder is adorable!!
JulieWunder says
I do too! The hubs doesn't feel the same 🙁
Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood says
Oh my goodness that puppy though! He is too cute! Also, that stuffed pineapple looks amazing!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Morgan! Hope you are having a great start to the week!
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.blogspot.com says
Such a cute puppy...you just want to cuddle with him!! Thanks for sharing your things you're loving!
JulieWunder says
I did! So cute!
Annmarie says
Um that puppy is adorable and I want him right now! 😛
JulieWunder says
He's so crazy cute!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Aw what a cute puppy! He already looks happy and content. I do like dry shampoo as well have not tried that one yet
JulieWunder says
He is so adorable! This has been my favorite dry shampoo so far, and I've probably tried 10 different kinds 🙂
Gretchen | Gretchruns says
You definitely need to try the brunette Batiste! It's SO great. I always need to have one around!
JulieWunder says
I'll try it next time! I've worried it will be too dark, but I'll take your suggestion!
Renee @ Bendiful Blog says
I seriously only function by using dry shampoo! It's my favorite. I like the Bastile clean scent. I use it every other day religiously.
JulieWunder says
Me too! It's my jam 🙂
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
Awwwh, that puppy is SO adorable. You have made me really jealous, as we are thinking about getting a puppy at the moment and I just want one now!
JulieWunder says
I know! It's been on our minds lately too... he is A LOT of work though. It's been a long time since I've been around a true little puppy.
