I’ve been busy busy busy working this week…and even though I haven’t exercised for even half a second (blah), it’s all worth it because I get to spend the weekend with some fantastic friends. My packed lunches have been incredible if I do say so myself. Satisfying my every want and need – sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy – you name it, I packed it. It’s all about options people. The main ingredients in these Heart Thrive cookies were oats, brown rice syrup, brown rice flour, rice bran, natural fruit juices, and lots of dried fruit… Read more >

Thanks to random.org, a winner has been chosen for the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil. Congrats to Jenna, who said “Happy birthday! I’d use the coconut oil to put on baked sweet potatoes (so good) and in baking!!” Email me with your address and I’ll be sure the oil gets to you. I know you’ll put it to good use. :) I have another giveaway planned for tomorrow, so set your alarms. As for yesterday, ‘twas another day at orientation… And, thus, another pre-packed lunch… Starting with a salad and leftover pizza. The salad… Read more >

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently. Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog. I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day. So conflicting. The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it. I’m slow in the mornings. I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake. The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

This weekend was a reminder of why Kyle and I moved back to the West Coast. No offense NYC, but when it comes to the weather and the social scene, California is where the party’s at! I may be well out of college, but that doesn’t mean I’m an old fart (yet). This weekend I was drawn to keg parties and tailgates like a moth to a flame. I don’t mind a seedy bar once in a while either. But before I get to the brew-fueled festivities, let me back up to Friday. You like… Read more >

This weekend Kyle’s at UCLA for an orientation of sorts, and I’m working it up. (Yes, I do still have a job, but only for a few more weeks!) Hey, someone has to bring home the dough, right? I packed my goodies, as per usual. Salad. Bars. Teas. Carrots. Pretz/Raisins/Carob chips. Hummus. Apple. (I actually had two other apples that I bought at the Union Square farmers market on my lunch break, too) The size of the salad looks dwarfed by the photo on the right, but trust, it was large and in charge. It… Read more >
