Regan's Birthday Wish List

Katie and I have a birthday coming up, September 22nd to be exact. My husband laughs when I tell him I have a birthday wish list, but I do. I always have a "wish list", and my birthday provides the perfect opportunity to check a few things off!

Here's what my list currently looks like.

I've been wanting a pair of short rubber rain boots, and these are just what I have been looking for. I had my eyes on the short Hunter boots, but I think I like the style of these (and the price) much better., and I really like the color.


We all know I spend a lot of time in workout pants. My friend Katie has these pants, and I need them. 

Vimmia Compression Stirrup Legging $127

As a side note, the product description lists the benefits of compression fabric as: increased blood circulation and skin elasticity, reducing cellulite and signs of skin aging, improved blood flow and oxygenation to muscles and tissues during your workout, increased recovery speed after workout or exertion, less wasted energy, less cramping, and greater running/workout efficiency, and reduced vibration that occurs as a muscle is flexed or experiences impact.

As someone who has their Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology, may I take a moment to tell you that these are just pants, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that a pair of yoga pants can actually do all those things. I could go into detail, but I won't!

And then a few things on my list that I have already shared with you in previous posts....



We will be in Sun Valley next week and a trip to Consign Design is inevitable. Chances are I will find a birthday present there and this list will be good as gone!

Towel Off

I spend a lot of time at the local water fountain here in Portland. We have a small collection of random beach towels, but nothing too fancy. My friend Meaghan showed up a few weeks ago to our fountain "date" with a gorgeous Pendleton beach towel. I've been dreaming about it ever since. And then, last week my brother-in-law showed up at my house with not just one but two.

I took that as a sign that I need to upgrade my beach towels to Pendleton.

I just can't decide which ones. There are so many amazing patterns to choose from.



The towels are available at a number of websites including Pendleton, Made in Oregon, Urban Outfitters  and on Amazon. I'm adding them to my birthday wish list.
