Color Run!


Yesterday I did one of the most fun things ever! I ran in the Color Run (dubbed "The Happiest 5k on the Planet") with my friend Molly and didn't realize it was possible to cram so much joy, excitement, and visual delight into a 5k race. I had seen pictures from a color run recently, but it wasn't until Molly asked me if I wanted to do this one in Irvine that I really started getting excited about it. All you have to do is google image search it or check out the pics on their website to get an idea of how incredible this is. I'm pretty sure Molly and I squealed, screamed, smiled, and danced our way through the whole thing while being completely painted from head to toe in these magically colored powders. If you want to know more about it, and see if a race is coming to your city, check their website and maybe I'll see you at a future run because there's no way this will be my last time doing one! 


















oh kitty :)

Hope you had a very bright, colorful and happy weekend as well!

Love and rainbow splatter paint,
