New Blog *kinda*

This blog isn't going anywhere and I may post something from time to time but I'm going to be blogging more on my Tumblr account! I think my blogging style and Tumblr get along better!

Pleasantly Strange

Come check it out :)

In search of a vacation...

I have been so anti work lately! I've been daydreaming about road trips and Id love to be able to stay at home and do yoga and cook amazing meals all day and not have to get up at 6:30 in the AM! Not for forever, I just need a vaca is all!

I decided to take next Thursday and Friday off so I don't go crazy but my real vaca will be in September. I took the week before my 30th birthday off. That's when I'll be doing yoga all week, snuggling with Doris, organizing the house and cooking up a storm! I cannot express enough how excited I am for that week to come!!

What my dreams are made of at the moment....
Good food and relaxation!

Patriotic much!

This definitely happened today...
A little late for the holiday but ill still rock it like a champ!
Cant wait for these jems to arrive in the mail!

Bad Bowling and Fake Tattoos

I always forget about how much fun bowling is! We went last night for a friends birthday and we had a blast! Thank god we didn't actually keep score because I suck at bowling but its still a lot of fun!

We also went a bit crazy with the quarter machines and all got temporary tattoos, We are dorks I know!

We finished the night with a little breakfast midnight snack at IHOP. It was a super fun Sunday and super cute birthday idea!

Happy Friday!

I love Friday to the max because of the obvious NO WORK!!! Whoohooo

But my heart really belongs to Sundays! I love being a super bum on the couch with my babe! We always get breakfast from a local spot and hang in our jammies and watch tv all day long! Its really the perfect day usually (sometimes we have to actually do get up and do something)... Hopefully (I don't think we have plans) this weekend will be just as  magical as most!

Happy Weekend to all
xoxox

So I lied a bit...

The other day I posted about how I was planning on doing the master cleanse... Well that didn't happen! I realized that my sister would be in town right in the middle of my cleanse which mean I wouldn't be able to eat or drink anything the day we had planned our outing.

That's our thing... we always visit all of the restaurants that she loves and can't have since she moved to GA! So I was originally going to postpone it till today actually but then I wasn't so pumped to stop eating for 10 days that I decided to wait till a later date!

The reason for this confession is because even though I'm not doing the cleanse I've been seeing so many other inspiring healthiness around the inter web!

As everyone else I'm super addicted to Instagram and I've been seeing some delicious looking food photos lately that's been making me want to get back into the kitchen!

morgan_lua is an awesome eater! Haha

avocado toast with roasted veggies! Yum

So simple, so yummy looking




I don't know... they look amazing to me! I've been a real slacker in the kitchen lately and seeing these photos in my feed are making me miss it a bunches. Plus eggs, tomatoes and avocados are some of my favs!

I'm also wanting to get my ass in shape sooooo bad but I am SOOOO lazy! I really am, its pathetic =P
BUT I have been easing myself back into some classes and I'm loving it! Hot yoga (myfav) every Monday evening and a cardio strengthening class that my boxing instructor teaches every Wednesday evening. I've only been to one of the cardio classes (the holiday messed me up) but I'm really excited to get back to class next week! I'm also going to start my Insanity videos again. Those are seriously insane and I love them so much, Ill be doing them every morning before work.

Soooo to keep me on track with the working out thing I've told Morgan that Ill be giving him $2 every activity that I don't do. I'm hoping losing my money will motivate me to keep working out! We will see... I may be super broke within the next few weeks! Haha fingers crossed :)

What an awesome day!

The 4th was awesome just as I suspected it would be! Lots of sun (hot hot sun), lots of food, lots of beer and lots of fireworks! I wish everyday could be that fun!

Happy 4th

I am so excited for today! Boyfriend and I are headed out to a friends house to do some relaxing by the pool, eat some yummy food and drink some delicious beers! Have a fun and safe holiday everyone :)

Rockin My Socks Off!!!

Im not sure how I found this website but has anyone ever checked out the clothing from Motel Rocks (dot) com?

Ohhh man so cute, and their clothing is nicely priced! The only downfall would be that they are based out of the UK so the shipping is a bitch!

BUT right now they are having a sweet sale.... Check them out ASAP! Motel Rocks

Easy Healthy Vegan Ice Cream!

Vegan Ice Cream made from frozen bananas! Say what...


There is a local food truck called Gone Bananas that serves vegan ice cream. I first found them at a local event called Rasa Lila which is a yoga festival held once a year. I was hot and sweaty from a day full of yoga in the sun and wanted a cooling sweet treat so I stopped by the Gone Bananas truck to try some of their yumminess! Man oh man was I in heaven and I've been meaning to try to make a homemade version for some time now.

I was surfing around Pinterest last night and came across a recipe for this lovely banana ice cream. Oh my was it delicious! I cant wait to make it again with different mixings! Im thinking homemade peanut butter and chocolate chips!

The best part is that it is SUPER simple to make...

4 bananas (sliced and frozen)
a couple tsp of cocoa powder

THAT'S IT!

Blend it in a food processor until you have a soft serve consistency (which may take a little while) and viola you're done and ready to eat your homemade vegan ice cream!

Put down the remote!!

So recently the mister and I found Eureka on Netflix. Has anyone watched this show?

I had never seen it before and I now have a major crush on it! We seriously cannot stop watching it. We come home pretty much every day from work, make dinner and head straight to the couch to watch it. We have a serious problem! Haha

We have been watching it for weeks thinking that it had been cancelled for a while but then the other day I googled it and HOLY SMOKES its still on the air! The sad news is that this season, the 5th season, is its last and that ends in July! :(

We are almost done watching the past seasons and this Sunday I hear the Syfy Network is having a season 5 Eureka marathon! Man I'm in heaven!

We have been watching it so much that I'm having dreams about it! Hahaha

Everyone who has Netflix needs to check it out... seriously...

Avocado Tuna Salad Awesomeness

This weekend I was doing what I do best (super bummin it at home, on the couch) and didn't want to have to leave the house for food. Which forced me to be creative with what I had on hand!

I came up with an avocado tuna salad sammich! Ohhh my goodness it was delicious!

There are a bunch of these recipes around the internet but this is how I made mine...

**as we all know I am a total spaz in the kitchen so I did not measure anything**
2 cans of white albacore tuna (in water)
2 avocados
a couple pickles chopped up
a nice big squeeze of mayo
a little less squeeze of spicy mustard
sprinkles of salt, pepper and paprika

I just mixed everything up and tasted as I went!

I served it opened faced on top of an Ezekiel english muffin with a tomato slice on top.

Ohh man ohh man was it amazing! AND the boyfriend, who says he HATES tuna, decided to give it a try and he liked it!! Boooyahhh! I cant wait to make it again!

 

No slackers here!

So I don't want to fall off the face of the earth again so I wanna come by and say hi.
I have some exciting healthy things planned starting on Fathers Day!

I'm starting the Master Cleanse that day! This is the 2nd time doing this cleanse and I really like it! I've decided to start doing it twice a year. The first time I tried this cleanse was back in January. I went on vaca right after the cleanse was complete and I feel like I just put all the crap back into my system with all of the vacation food, beer and ice cream I ate! So this time around I headed over to Happy Herbivore to download a meal plan to follow after the cleanse was over. I am really excited about the cleanse AND the 7 day vegan meal plan. The food sounds amazing!

I'm also planning on getting my act together and get to yoga more often!! I'm driving myself crazy because of my laziness! I also would LOVE to start waking up early to go running but yet again, my laziness is right there keeping me under my covers! I just need to motivate myself for a couple weeks then I will be in the habit of working out.... any tips on getting motivated?

Other than that things have been boring... work and being lazy (as mentioned before)

I did get my hairs did the other day... FUUUUN :)

Holy awesome crafty project

I love love love Emma from Food Coma dot com! She is super cuteness and has the yummiest recipe posts.

Tellin stories with Instagram

Well hello there... So much fun stuff has been going on.

I got a new car... Yippie! The cutest Mini Cooper you ever did see! AND since I finally had a car that could make the trip I was able to drive to Savannah, GA to hang out with my bestie for the weekend.

I also organized and deep cleaned my house and now it sparkles... very similar to Edward! I am so in love with it. I got rid of so much junk... it was awesome... now I have a clean, clutter free house!

Also I'm definitely one of those people who freaked out in excitement when Instagram became available for Android and have been using it ever since!

So lets get this Instagram goodness started!

Here is the newest love of my life... I still haven't named her...

Im sure everyone love to see pictures of this cutie... Doris, the best cat around!

I got new glasses from Coastal.com for $15 yes... $15!!!
Check it out... your first pair is free(plus shipping)

My sister left us and moved to GA so my mom and I decided to hang out more to make her jealous (j/k)
Here we are at the Keel & Curley Winery in Plant City, FL.... they have the most delicious fruity wines!

Road Trip lovin.... I am a sucker for driving with the windows down and the music blasting!
The babes and I are going to have a road trip honeymoon (oneday) and I cannot wait! Being on the open road and exploring new places is definitely one of my favorite things to do! Here are photos from my trip to Savannah, GA

This delicious dish of Eggs Benedict came from the heavenly restaurant called Hueys, if you are ever in Savannah make you sure to go there! I seriously wanted to stay and try everything on the menu! Delish

Last but not least... the best house around...
Getting the clutter out! Bye bye recycling

Next clear the kitchen to deep clean and organize...

Now putting it all back together all nice and pretty!

My house is nice and colorful! Love

Well that's all I have for now! I have some fun stuff coming up... homemade meals for mothers day... Thrice and Metric concerts and lots of snuggle time planned with Doris! xoxox
