And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? š Truth be told, Iām pretty neutral on the whole Valentineās thingā¦love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think itās clichĆ© either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentineās was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldnāt go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

This weekend was so much fun. I had Friday through Sunday off and Kyle was actually caught up with all his MBA shiz, so we got to spend a lot of time relaxing (together). I’ve shown you the d & e meals, but Superbowl Sunday was definitely the highlight. PACKERS what whaaaat! Friday morning started with an early breakfast for me. I was up and at āem with the sun garbage trucks (which was fine since I had fallen asleep at 7:30 the night before). I made myself a warm bowl of oats and buckwheat. … Read more >

You didnāt work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I didnāt really mind it, since I got to celebrate early with my family. On the 24th, I woke up early to sweat out a quick 20 minute Shred, which I followed up with a hearty tupperware full of overnight oats. I used 1/2 cup rolled oats and then mixed in an almost equal portion of canned pumpkin with only an itty bit of water. This created a crazy thick consistency as it āgelledā overnight. Other goodies included Tropical Traditions shredded coconut, dried cherries, and NuNatural liquid… Read more >

On Saturday night I was invited to a pre-opening meal at a new restaurantā¦ [these are the perks of food blogging that Kyle really enjoys] You may have heard of The Veggie Grill before, since they have a few other locations in the Southern California area. This new site is mere blocks from our apartment, so we were both excited to try it out (for free no less!). Several staff members welcomed us upon arrival and then explained the menu, highlighting the favorites while encouraging us to browse it for ourselves. We both ended up… Read more >

Dude. I canāt even begin to describe the past 18 hours. I had a really rough day. I was going a mile a minute from the second my shift startedā¦and the first time I looked at the clock I was shocked. Already 11:20!?! Uhhhhā¦what!? How could this be? Because my job is time dependent (meds, blood draws, etc. all require a strict schedule) itās rare that Iām not aware of the time. Today, however, I never had a moment of rest. Not even a millisecond. I was definitely behind for most of the dayā¦perpetually trying… Read more >
