This week's shoutout will be focused on great blogs I have been reading lately.
Since I decided to get more consistent about blogging, I have been dedicating part of my free time to reading other articles out there. I will already say that this is not an extensive list. There are way too many great entries that if I wanted to share them all, it would simply be impossible. So here I will be sharing (only) 5 of my favorite ones. More will come in the future for sure. Let's get started!

Triathlete? Check. Woman of Steel Sprint Tri Recap |
I have to admit that it had never crossed my mind to participate in a triathlon before. To start with, I can barely swim. I only learned how to swim at the age of 34 and since my 'graduation', I only hit the pool twice.
Biking is not my thing either. Some years ago, I got myself a mountain bike. The poor thing has been parked for longer than I can remember. It is not like I do not like using it, but I always end up finding it more relaxing to go on foot or by car depending on the distance (and on how many bags I am carrying with me).
Whitney participated in her first triathlon recently and her experience got me motivated. I have been asking around, added some activities/trainings to my 40 things before 40 list that will be part of my training and I am working on getting the right mind set. I do not when and how it will be, but I am building this project careful.

How often do you pin your favorite blogs? Sincerely, I have been obsessed about pinning since I joined the site a couple years ago. More recently, it became the best way to keep track and 'bookmark' my favorite articles, products and services.

52 Meticulous Organizing Tips For The OCD Person In You
As in most things in my life, when it comes to organization, I am a person of extremes. In fact, when I neglect to organize my stuff right away it is simply because I think that I am not going to be as 'perfect' as I want to be. Weird logic, I know it...
I am so obsessed about it that I am constantly looking for books (ebooks since they do not take space in the shelves) and articles on the subject. Recently I came across a blog which title caught my attention: 52 Meticulous Organizing Tips For The OCD Person In You.
The first tip is already a mania of mine. I see a plastic bag, I fold it. I learned it years ago with the mother of a friend and I got addicted.
If you are interested to learn a thing or two that can help you get (more) organized, this blog is a must.

| 6 Tasks You Can Complete While Blowdrying Your Hair |
It is true that since I had my hair cut, I do not spend from 3 to 5 minutes with the hairdryer (yes, I used to count it). However, I am a multitask person by nature. So the idea that I can optimize the time 'wasted' getting my hair dry sounds exciting.
I bumped into this blog when searching beauty tips. 6 Tasks You Can Complete While Blowdrying Your Hair offers very practical solutions for us women who want to look beautiful in the morning to go to work without spending too much time in front of the mirror. Let's face it, I already wake up early enough to train. If I am going to miss another half hour of my sleep, I will surely crash in the middle of the afternoon. No way! I prefer to combine things.
Have you ever thought about doing squads while drying your hair? I haven't, but I sure bought the idea.
