If you have been reading Sunny Slide Up for a while, you will know that The Mister and I have made efforts to be much more healthy this year. We are eating better and exercising more.
Last week we took another step and decided to buy bikes! I have to tell you – we are not even a week in yet and I am LOVING it! You get to feel like a kid again and cover MUCH more ground than you can on foot. Check me out last night!
This is my new SWEET ride (I am sure you will be seeing much more of it in months to come). You can read more about it here!
Now… it is time to accessorize and first things first – I have to protect my head!
helmets: 1. Nutcase Helmet 2. Yakkay Cap 3. Giro Helmet (pricy) 4. Giro Helmet (inexpensive)
Then I felt like I should share these helmets by Good!Creative with you… Can you IMAGINE passing one of these on the street?!?
What do you think? Which helmet would you choose?
Don’t forget to check out our guest bloggers from a while ago, Our Life on Two Wheels – They continue to amaze me with their adventures!

As a graphic designer, I am constantly keeping an eye on the latest color trends and nobody knows color better than Pantone!
This year, Pantone celebrates its 50th anniversary and they are in full celebration mode. Check out the chart below to see the color trends from the past 50 years. What decade of color combo do you love?
Every year, Pantone picks a color of the year. I absolutely LOVE 2013’s color “Emerald” – in fact, as I am writing this post, I just happen to be wearing a hoodie that exact color! I wonder what 2014’s color will be?
Click here to see the full article from Pantone.
Now, some random bursts of color for your Monday!

I don’t know how the rest of you all feel, but some of the maternity options out there are pretty horrendous. It’s gotten better over the years, for sure, but some of the pieces still make me squirm. Also, I just want to go on the record in saying that I’m having a hard time imagining any expectant mother looking good in a pair of “Dungarees“. I’m sorry….feel free to try and prove me wrong. I’m a big fan of buying non-maternity clothes that will work through pregnancy and beyond so I am sharing a few of the styles I like with you all today. I realize that not everything works for every body type….and you best believe that I will be pulling out my maternity jeans by the time my 8th month rolls around, but it’s nice to know that we can limit the amount of “maternity” clothes we need to buy, because there are so many other options out there!
Sweater, Shorts, Red Dress, Sweatshirt Dress
Chevron Maxi, Oversized Tee, Cobalt Dress
