I decided to give myself a little mental break by purchasing a new book to read. I used to read a ton of books (all chick-lit) and it would really help keep me entertained and happy. I was essentially always living in a fantasy land. La de da. Wonderful. But I haven’t read “fun” books in awhile. So I need to get back there. It helps me maintain balance. I think I may have made a … [Read more...]
Carrot Cake Oatcakes
Has anybody ever asked you if they could try on your shoes before? Sound odd? Yes. This happened to me (almost). Yes, it was a complete stranger. I don’t know how to react when a question throws me off guard like that. A woman and her teenaged daughter were watching me get my wedding dress fitted (small room, people stare), and she spotted my shoes. And she told me she wanted my … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 30
I had a really big week! My fiancé and I proved how adult we are by buying furniture. We finally put a couch in our living room and now thoroughly enjoy sitting in comfort. So adult, right? I also made homemade almond milk! So proud! In other news, I’ve been sucking down Key Lime Greek yogurt like its my job lately. Can that be a real job? Please? Also, if you’re coming up on a … [Read more...]
Cheesecake Strawberries
When I think of cute summer parties, I always think of adorable summer dresses, drinks with a splash too much of spirits, and lots of little fruit appetizers. You know the ones: fruits impaled with skewers, grilled fruit on shortcakes dolloped with cream, and fruit artfully arranged around a bowl of sweet Fruit Dip. I saw a friend make Fruit Dip once. And she didn’t make it with yogurt (like I … [Read more...]
Carrot Banana Cake
I’ll be honest, I don’t take criticism well. Some people do, but I don’t. Some people take it with a smile, shake their criticizers hand, then go become a ten-times better person. Win. For them. But me? Nope. I keep a straight face. Maybe curl a smile… Then I go home, and melt. And I fixate. I can’t stop thinking about what has been said. Does it make me grow and become a better … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 29
I've had a very strange week to deal with. My fiance was out on a business trip (he's back now), so I was left to my own devices. I was quite the party girl when he was gone. You know, in bed by 9:30, yogurt for dinner...woo hoo...really living it up. But, that's just me. Too hot to handle. I had some very strange dreams and didn't get much sleep. I felt sick for part of the week. A dear … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Cookie Oats with a Chocolate Drizzle
So I had this dream the other night. It was bizarre and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. So, if you’re all mystical and think you know what it means, please humor me and tell me. Back story: I have a fear of enclosed waterslides. The tube ones. Waterslides are terrible things on their own because the sections where they come together (the seams) are usually a bit of a bump, so you … [Read more...]
Browned-Butter Oatmeal Raisinet Bars
You know you sneak your own candy into the movies. Drinks too. And bags of popcorn. No? Just me? No! Not just me! Because my mom does it too! Where do you think I learned this? My mom taught me a lot of things. Besides sneaking your own sustenance into the theater. For example, she also taught me that browning butter is a way to make butter a bajillion times tastier (pour it on your … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 28 and What’s Beautiful
I'm feeling like I need to update you on my life a little. So here's what's going on. Currently munching on: Cheerios. Dry. Like a 2 year old. Current conundrum: Did you grow up dipping your fries in your milkshake? I told my fiance that my mom and i would treat ourselves to fresh-cut fries dipped in chocolate shakes when I was growing up. He gasped and informed me that there's no way … [Read more...]
