What would Jillian do?  Not to sound lemming-like, but that’s kinda how my mind has been operating lately.  I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing either, since she’s pretty much on the pulse with healthy and hippie-esque trends.  Paraben free soap – check!  Formaldehyde free mouth wash – check!  You get the point…but hormone free hygiene products aren’t the only thing she draws attention to.  It would take an entire post to profess my serious amor for Jillian Michaels.  She’s amaze.  But don’t worry, I won’t.  Instead, I’ll just throw out some shameless plugs.  (I’ve… Read more >

Green goop

In true Sesame Street style, today was sponsored by the colors GREEN and ORANGE.  I didn’t realize it until I was posting these photos, but there’s a real trend going on in my eats from today. Breks was caffeine and fruit.  After the booze infusion that was this weekend, I was thinking of doing something detox-y, but then I remembered that my normal eats ARE mostly just that.  So, onward ho!  I was happy to get back to my froth love.  Coffee just isn’t the same when I don’t get my own non-milk stevia on. … Read more >

Chickpea guac – a stroke of genius!

I arrived at work today to find out we were overstaffed on our unit, and as the lowest RN on the totem pole, I was the sucker that had to float to a different floor.  Work FAIL. I was a bit nervous since I am a one trick pony very familiar with the cardiac ICU, but haven’t really ventured elsewhere outside the acute setting.  But rather than boo hoo all the way to my new assignment, I was a good sport about it, and decided to make it an educational day. Welcome to the Neuro… Read more >

3 shifts, 3 bars, 3 bottles

Wuddup sissy-poos?  What’s crack-a-lack-in in the blog ‘hood? If the title confuses you, here are the latest trilogy of events in my life: I worked 3 days in a row, tried 3 new bars, and downed 3 bottles of Kombucha. I’m pretty sure I left off with my pre-packed eats for Sunday’s workity-work, which almost satisfied me, but needed a little supplementation at lunch time. Enter Grape Kombucha!!  Caroline, you were right, this one is divine!  It totally reminded me of popsicles on a hot summer day.  Too bad I was on my lunch break… Read more >

I is for Insomniac

You guys are SO hilarious!  I love that so many people noticed and commented on the lack of hummus (gasp) in my previous post, I literally laughed out loud.  Apparently I have a trademark that I wasn’t aware of until now.  Well, if it helps you sleep at night, I made up for it with a crap load of chickpea love today 🙂 The plum/melon fruit platter (above) was my dessert last night, btw.  I thought I’d try and get to bed EXTRA early since I have been having MAYJ sleep issues.  For reals.  This… Read more >
