On May 18th, our daily Starbucks morning meet-up was a bit delayed because Alene’s a bit slow. She couldn’t figure out her iPad alarm. Fail. Eventually we all got coffee, food, and set off to Madrid’s Palacio Real. I could seriously live the royal life. It was impressive and decadent and over the top (and the whole time I was thinking of how Kate Middleton really hit the jackpot). We spent 30 minutes longer than I would’ve on my own, but that’s the cross you bear when traveling with this fam. … Read more >

May 15th. Slowly but surely I am getting through my Spain travels…here’s more from Madrid, starting up again right where I last left off. I woke up early(ish) to get beautified before meeting Alene at Starbucks. It’s so much fun meeting up with friends when you are traveling. I love my family, obviously, but it’s especially great when both your family and your friends want to travel together. I’m a lucky girl – although to be honest, since Alene and I have been friends from age 4, it’s almost more accurate to call her family. … Read more >

Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach. It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.” I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night. Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment. I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… Read more >

Just popping in to let you all know that this week’s galactans challenge is still in full effect. Each day I’ve been testing my digestive system’s limits with a different member of the category – including peas, beans, lentils…and hummus. Oh glorious hummus. [For a list of the others galactan foods check here] I somehow managed to delete the final product of this banana, oat, pumpkin combo. So, yeah. This is all I’ve got. Work eats: salad, Halo s’mores ProBar , Enjoy Life chewy cocoa loco bar. This salad was just your average… Read more >

I wish someone could have heard the conversation Kyle and I had on the way home from this dinner. “What does A Votre Sante mean anyway?” “I think it’s another Saint.” “No, that’s not right.” “Maybe twenty something?” “Maybe something sane?” “No.” “Hmmm…” “Is it French?” “Latin?” “No idea.” “Well, I give up.” “We’ll look it up when we get home.” “Okay.” No seriously. We are really dumb when it comes to languages outside of English and Spanish (I can see Kyle rolling his eyes right now saying “speak for yourself”). Truthfully, all I can… Read more >
