eggs

(Eggs and toast FTW- covered in salsa)

we started unpacking frenzy 2011. We got through a ton of boxes, and then took a trip to World Market as a break.

Cushions for 75% off? Don’t mind if I do….

We grabbed some cushions for the outdoor set

patio

+ the balcony lounge chair. I’ve already dubbed it the blog chair ;) [Also picked up our other 2 dining room chairs that were on hold, since the first location we went to last week only had 4, some teak oil, flower arrangements and candles. World Market has the best candles]

My Dadoo, Stepmom, little bros and Nana came over to check out our progress so far, and brought over a beautiful balcony table and chairs, plus this book:

I can’t wait to dive in :)

Lunch was way too much Chipoddle.

chipoddle

Vegetarian salad with black beans, hot salsa, pico, and double guac. It gave me heartburn and I’m miserably full, but it was so delicious.

The Pilot is munching eegee’s for dinner and I’ll probably roll with a smoothie later, since I’m still stuffed.

This week’s meal ideas are going to be inspired by some recipes in here:clean eating

Tonight will be a late-y since I have a [fun] project to finish up for tomorrow, but I hope everyone had a lovely Sunday!

See ya bright and early! <3

Upcoming:

A little giveaway….

NEW playlist and schweaty August cardio workout

Something to talk about: Totally random but has anyone tried these things?

ear candles

They’ve always given me the heeby jeebies but from the description it’s supposed to be an enjoyable experience. Supposedly you can hear the sound of the ocean while the opposite end of the candle is lit [the other end is.. in your ear]

My madre asked me to pick some up for my stepdad, who has been having some trouble with his hearing. It was hilarious because the way my mom explained it to me was: “remember in Keeping Up With the Kardashians when Khloe put that candle in Bruce’s ear to help with his hearing? Would you mind picking some up?”

Living in the Room

in Dinner,house,lunch,something to do,workout

Hiiiii :D Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a beautiful and relaxing day <3

For my lunch break yesterday, I came home to have a random lunch

lunch

2 smoothies (almond milk, banana, frozen organic berries, Sun Warrior, almond butter, cacao powder, cinnamon and stevia) + a bowl of broccoli with Goddess dressing

then I took a little pre-Zumba nap with Bell ;)

nap

When I left to teach Zumba (my last class of the day), I was a little stressed out. Our internet modem got here a day late, and the connections in the house are different than the standard one- no phone jacks, it’s cable only. We couldn’t figure out how to get it set up, and the cable people wouldn’t be able to get here until next week. I was not really stoked about living at a coffee shop for the next few days…. especially since I have an enormous project due tomorrow that I need the internet for.

I went to teach Zumba, which ended up being one of the best classes ever. I did a few new dances, it was PACKED, and everyone was yelling and shaking it… a Zumba dream

aaaaaand when I came home, we had internet, cable and a new sectional from Crate and Barrel. My husband is a magician.

*3-piece Axis Wedge in Coffee

[Side note: sometimes we call Crate and Barrel “Cracken and Barrel” and say it like pirates. We’re really cool, haha]

So exciting to have technology and a comfy place to chill!!!

Kyle and Meg came over last night to hang out, and brought Eclectic Cafe to-go.

dinner

Saturday night is usually my treat night, so I giant tuna salad + order of sweet potato fries :)

It was so nice to see people LIVING in the living room:

Big change from this, eh?

den

The boys went to pick up froyo for dessert, while Meg and I stayed here. I was way too full from dinner, but asked them to pick up something for this little lady:

froyo

A tiny serving of froyo with half a doggie treat. She was very happy :)
We all watched Hoarders and everyone else watched Jurrasic Park 3 while I snoozed on the couch (dinosaurs scare me) and called it a night.

SO much to do today! Time to werk :)

Something to do:

It’s Sunday! Take a few minutes to plan out your meals and workouts for the week. It will make grocery shopping so much easier, and it’s always better to hit up the gym with an idea of what you’d like to do that day <3

cookbook

I’m actually cooking in the new kitchen this week! Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see :)

“Sorry about that”

July 29, 2011

(Baby’s first Zumba outfit, courtesy of Suzi! I LOVE it) I’m kind of embarrassed to see my husband later today. Last night, I had the first real, major, pregnancy hormone-related meltdown… and it probably scared him a little bit. When I got home from work, he asked what I was thinking for dinner and I [...]
