Fact: I could wash down dirt with foamy coffee and still be happy. Fact: Spending 15 minutes trying to fix a broken toaster can lead you to dark places. Good thing God invented peanut butter for such moments. Fiction: A microwave is just as good as a toaster anyways. Fact: Apples + cinnamon = the perfect fall snack Fiction: Taking a cross-town bus after coffee and fiber loading is a smart idea. Fact: Bathrooms aren’t abundant on the Upper East Side. Fact: In terms of pita pockets, there is no such thing as TOO stuffed…. Read more >

I know there’s a ton of TWSS potential with that post title, but unfortunately it is in reference to my j-o-bizzle (so get yo’ mind out of the gutter)! How was my day? Does that answer the question? (not that you really asked) Four of those are mine. Four. Normally I’m all about saving my cup and taking advantage of the free 54 cent refills. But, since I worked through lunch, I didn’t even get the chance to run across the street to get my Starbucks fix. I was barely hanging on (which I guess… Read more >

Back to work already?! Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill. Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things. The verdict? Good, but different. I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do. I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer. I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too. No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot. FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >
