I'm a week into the 21 day fix! So far, it's going pretty well. The workouts are tough but 30 minutes is definitely manageable. The thing I miss the most is knowing I am *able to* say yes to things (does that make any sense?!) I'm used to going to happy hour & having a glass of wine or two, going to dinner and ordering what…
Happy 4th of July weekend, my American friends! As most of us are off this Friday, I'll make this post short & sweet. Dj is out of town visiting his family in Philly for the next two weeks, I'm smack dab in the middle of the 21 Day Fix, and I'm overly excited to be having a looooooooong weekend! Are you getting into anything exciting? Last…
Can you believe it's already July?? Where is the time going! When heading to a neighbor's house, BBQ, beach, or even a simple get together with friends, I always love to bring something along to share. At times, especially when it comes to holiday weekends when you could be traveling, the last thing on your list is a crazy, many steps required recipe. Below I have…
I have a pretty large obsession with hummus. In snack form? Perfect. For a light lunch? Yum. Incorporated into a dinner? Even better. This past weekend, we went to our friend's going away party and I needed something to whip up quickly and bring with me. After rummaging through my cabinet, hummus came to mind, and who doesn't like hummus? (If you don't like it, tell…
Weekend, I love you! After last week's festivities, I'm excited for a relaxing weekend. My plans consist of going to a restaurant/bar for the USA Women's soccer game tonight then a going away hangout for a friend/coworker on Saturday night. Sunday will consist of grilling out by the pool. :) Do you have any weekend activities planned? Only a few hours stand between you & the…
There are few things in life I enjoy more than a really great smelling home. My apartment is flooded with candles ranging in every different scent, brand, and wax base. However, the downfall of candles are that: You cannot leave them burning when you leave your house They eventually die out :( Those beautiful little jars can be pretty pricey You can do so much with…
This weekend was one for the books, to say the least. I was lucky enough to spend a few seasons throughout the past 4 years living abroad in London and have made some pretty awesome friends along the way. This past weekend, 2 of my friends came down and we reunited on the American soil of Jacksonville, Florida. Jonny, David, and I at JAX Beach Jonny,…
Happy FridYAY! This weekend, some of my friends from London are coming in! I'm extremely excited. I'm not sure exactly what we're going to do, but they're such a good time, it's bound to be a great weekend! Now, your Friday dose of positivity: A yoga studio in Illinois is inviting people to join a class with shelter cats, which, in turn, as created more kitty…
