Still out of whack

Right after I posted the other night I realized my optimism about returning to a 100% healthy state was premature.  Details aren’t necessary, but I was up til 3 am – in and out of the bathroom (pretty sure you can fill in the blanks). Fortunately, a big shipment of Vita Coco arrived earlier that day… 100% pure coconut water.  Hydrate naturally.  Exactly what I needed to do. I am not in love with them…and I think Kailey described the flavor best when she said it’s like the leftover juice from those snack-pack fruit cups,… Read more >

Nursing back to health

I feel like I need to play catch up.  As I mentioned in my eco hippie post, I was a bit ill the other day, so my pics were pretty boring.  Here’s a queasy stomach tutorial: First, drown yourself in tea… Then, slowly make your way through as many different carbs as you can get your hands on… Natural antioxidants don’t hurt either… (Thanks to the POM fairy, Ryan, I am stocked for a while, too – score) Mid-day napping is practically a given…on top of several hours in front of the t.v. (i.e. Top… Read more >

What’s your carbon footprint?

I love all the tea suggestions you guys have/had for me!!  Keep ‘em coming, I already added several to my grocery list (much to Kyle’s dismay). Yesterday I felt sick for much of the day, so I don’t have many pics (it’s a sad day when culinary creations aren’t high on my to-do list).  Instead of showing you bags of pretzels and bowls of oats, I am going to do a different kind of post.  While watching yesterday’s ellen, I was inspired to do a bit of research. As a self-proclaimed “hippie,” I consider my… Read more >

Tea time

If you know me, you know I love tea.  It’s one of the only redeeming parts about cold weather.  I crave the feeling of a steamy mug in my hands, and the aroma of tea wafting through the apartment.  There is truly nothing better.  Well, aside from coffee that is.  😉 Peek-a-boo (And this is just half of my tea stash) That said, I’m pretty picky when it comes to my teas.  Some of my favorite brands are Yogi and Tazo, but thanks to OpenSky, I discovered a newbie that has been rocking my world. … Read more >

My Salsa

To the few people who understand my weird (read: abnormal) humor, this title is for you.  For the rest of you, I’m sorry.  Hopefully this isn’t your first red flag that I’m not exactly “normal,” but if it is…well, there you have it.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  I had a weird dinner tonight.  “My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance…” Yeah, Eminem knows ‘wassup. So before you close this page in disgust, allow me to explain.  ‘Cado + salsa + large-and-in-charge amounts of roasted red pepper hummus = Spreadable brilliance.  So why limit… Read more >
