♡ Dinner With Meg and Jeremiah ♡

I now I know.. it's been so long since I've written! Tuesday night we had are good friends Megan and Jeremiah over our house for dinner. We wanted to have them over because they are actually moving today, a hour and a half away. I had made cupcakes for Micah as a very late 'birthday cake' thing, Brittany (my sister) made a cake for our friends, and Megan brought (AMAZING) brownies, and ice cream! It was a lil bit of a sugar over load, but a very fun memorable time. <3 

 

♡ My Cousin's Wedding ♡

A few pictures from my cousin Jeremy's wedding today! It was beautiful. Welcome to the family Amanda! :)

♡ Vita Shake! ♡

So this is a great shake for a school day. I don't know if this is true but the other day I had this and about 30 minutes after I felt a bit of a energy boost! Maybe it was just me but it's work a try right? It's pretty much like a healthy chocolate milkshake!

What I use:

1 and 1/2 milk (I use coconut or almond milk)
3 spoons of Nesquik,
1 teaspoon of Flaxseed,
dash or 2 of cinnamon,
a few drops of vanilla,
1 Vitamin C (open it and dump the powder in)
1 Acidophilus, (do the same as the vitamin C)
Blend it all together!! 

And it's done! I really like it and it's great for a fast very healthy breakfast! :)

♡ Healthy Lunch- Pasta and Fish ♡

Another Lunch post. It's what I had the other day and was very yummy! 

 I had lemon and pepper tilapia, And veggie and whole grain pasta with tomato and cheese, with garlic, basil, salt pepper, and parsley.Overall a pretty good healthy lunch! :)

♡ Citrus and Fruit Summer Salad ♡

I had this yummy salad for dinner the other night, made the dressing and everything. 
It's just romaine, some apple, and some white cherries.
For the dressing I didn't measure anything but mixed together fresh lemon and orange juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley and garlic. If you want a exact recipe I can get that together. It was so fresh and very good! Perfect for a hot summer night when you want something light. :)

♡ Tips for a Fun Workout ♡

That word...that word we all HATE.....'workout'.. ugh! It just sounds horrible doesn't it? Well...not to me because I'm a bit of a fitness junkie but I have a few tips I do to make my workout a bit more enjoyable. So for those of you who don't enjoy exercise just keep reading...

NOTE: I'm not a fitness expert by any means, these are just things I have tried that work for me. I think exercise is very important. Plus if you eat the right things and exercise you feel so much better physically. I notice I feel so much healthier and have more energy, and who doesn't want that?

1. Listen to music, either have a CD on or a Ipod. there are even TV channels for music. Music helps me kinda get into the workout zone you could say.
2. Watch TV. It helps the time pass faster. 
3. Have a Wii? Get Wii Fit Plus! It is SO FUN, not only is it a game but it really WORKS! You might not think it would but it does, they have arobics, yoga, balence games and more. I try to play at least 3 times a week.
4. Get outside! If the weather is nice, why not go for a walk? Which leads to my next tip.
5. WALK! Even if you don't like any kind of workout just try to go for a walk everyday if you can! 
6. Cute workout clothes. This isn't necessary but it helps me. If you have something cute to wear to workout in... doesn't that give you a lil motivation to actually work out? Get a cute pair of shorts and a workout bra or tank! :)
7. Get a buddy. If you exercise with a friend it makes it more enjoyable and you get to chat it up with your friend, maybe even have a little competition.


So that is all I have for you today, try these out and let me know how that works out! Hehe...works out.... workout ;)

♡ Saturday Goodies! ♡

I wanted to show you the few things I picked up today! :) 

 This morning I went to Rite Aid and got the Revlon colorstay eyeshadow palette in "Addictive", I had a $4.00 coupon from buying 2 Revlon products last time, So it was only $3.86!! It feels so good to save money! Then I went again this evening and got the Scunci wide headbands for $6.80, I bit pricey I think but they were much needed. Then at Foodlion I got the Honeysuckle Honeydew EOS lip balm for $3.00, and a raspberry greek yogurt for around $1.50 I think. I ate half of it tonight and loved it! Great healthy snack. I have also already tried all the beauty products and am very glad I picked them up. <3
