Yes, there is a giveaway at the end of this post. And yes, it’s sweet. But before you get to that, you have to endure my birthday ramblings. First of all, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday the other day. It was so amazing to be bombarded with your lovely comments – I definitely felt the blog love. My coffee was feeling it too. I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Hmmm…that’s odd, who in their right mind is thrilled to be older? (whatever…I’ll go with… Read more >

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city before that ungodly hour) I stayed at my sister’s apartment the night before. At least something positive came out of last month’s half marathon pre-race disaster (i.e. 4 am wake up calls are NOT conducive to a happy hippie). Spooning… Read more >

I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I know I would be obsessed with all those fun little apps. If only there were one that could help me decide what I wanna eat! Sometimes I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m in the mood for. Do you ever have this problem? This morning I stared into the fridge for a solid 5 minutes, then went to the pantry, then back to the fridge again…and I still came up with NADA. I didn’t feel like anything sweet or savory, and… Read more >

Hey HEY Hey! Long time no see… I know, my bad. I didn’t mean to leave you high and dry, but sometimes I get soopah stressed. When that happens, unfortunately, the blog is the first to take a seat on the sidelines… It all started to pile up last weekend. There were actually a few different factors contributing to this, but I will only get to part of that now. I was really busy and unable to get my gym time in, which doesn’t matter when it’s one day, but after a few I start… Read more >

I woke up super early for work today, washed my face, brushed my teeth, threw my afro into a pony, and grabbed my pre-packed lunch from the fridge…when the day kinda took a rough turn… Tumbler full of coffee meet hardwood floor. Blog world meet the culprit. **Gena, I TOLD you I shouldn’t be trusted with a cleaver!!! I headed off to work grumpy and non-caffeinated. Not a great start to the day. Today’s pre-packed eats: Big ‘ol salad, strawberry/pomegranate odwalla bar, apple, dried papaya spears and mangoes. Spinach, broccoli slaw, shredded carrots, clover… Read more >
