Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon day 5

One of the things Kyle and I were most looking forward to on our honeymoon was getting pampered.  Couples massages?  Holler.  So we decided to treat ourselves to an hour long rub down at the Anara Spa.  It was heavenly.  Not that I had much stress to relieve, but it was gone at the end regardless.  Then we got coffee and broke the fast.  What’s Malasada you ask?  Basically Hawaiian donut holes.  The pampering continued when we set up shop in our private beach front cabana.  Just for us…all day long… With this view.

New scheduling

Yup, it’s back to le grind.  12 hour shifts require lots of tupperwared options…and as you all know by now, I’m quite the preppy prep-ster over the weekends.  Glad my type-A ways inspired some of you to do the damn thang, too.  Left: spinach salad with roasted veg (brussels, carrots, broccoli, delicata squash) Right: quinoa with chopped pear, raisins, cinnamon & PB dressing (PB flour and almond milk) It’s a fairly simple dish, but dang am I obsessed. OBSESSED! Oh hey, look at that.  Never seen this guy before. Oh wait, that’s right, I’ve had it… Read more >
