Starting off my mornings with oatmeal has become my latest obsession. For one, it’s warm and comforting, and it also comes jammed packed with health benefits. Being low in saturated fats, high in fiber to keep you full, and oats are also extremely versatile to work with! I’m feeling a little under the weather, so took today off from work, and needed something warm for my…
Did this week go by extremely slow for anyone else? I am so excited for the weekend! I don’t even have anything special planned.. which I’m actually really happy about for once. I recently joined a gym to see if that helps motivate me (so far, mixed results). They do offer unlimited classes, though, so I’m going to try to make it to spin at 9am…
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies..” -George R.R. Martin I’ve always loved to read. Losing yourself in a different world is how I best describe it. I’m passionate about traveling, learning about new cultures, putting myself in unthought of situations; all I can also do while engrossed in a new book. I’ve done a few book reviews [like THIS one!] or [THAT one!],…
I have been on the BIGGEST pizza kick lately. That’s how I am with a lot of different foods; I fluctuate between craving it constantly, to not eating it for weeks. These past 2 weeks, pizza has been calling my name pretty much every day. With everything in life, moderation is key. I can’t justify ordering Papa Johns every night (unfortunately), but I definitely can justify…
This weekend was definitely one for the books! My best roomie4L friend came to visit me from Pittsburgh for the weekend! Sara and I went to school at West Virginia University together, ended up on the same floor in our freshmen year dorms, signed a lease to live together our following year (without knowing each other AT ALL), and ended up being two peas in a…
I can’t wait to share my weekend update with you all! I’m going to attempt to write that post after this one, but first things first- today’s shopping finds! These cute little glasses are just too cute to not share with you guys. I tend to wine a lot… ;) A few Valentine’s Days ago, Dj gifted me with these stemmed glasses, which I automatically fell…
I have so much fun playing with different recipes- and yes, that includes drinks! Last night, the coldness of the rest of the U.S. hit North Florida. It was too cold to be outside, and with not being used to the cold weather, I was not in any mood to leave my apartment! When I get in those kinds of moods, I like to turn on…
This post is a little late, but I guess it’s better late than never. :) I love that Valentines Day fell on a Saturday this year! It was the perfect day here in Florida, consisting of beautiful 70 degree weather without a single cloud in the sky. It’s like Mother Nature knew Dj and I needed a day to just be together. First thing in the…
