Blogiversary Giveaway

Hey guys! Thank you so much for the wonderful blogiversary wishes <3 You all make this such an awesome environment with your positive energy, comments and discussions <3 <3 <3 I have so much love, appreciation and respect for all of you.

This morning, after eating my blogiversary macaroon, I had a chocolate cherry bomb.

I thought the day might come when I would get sick of these things.. but it hasn’t happened yet. It’s too delicious for words 😉

Cool news: Open Sky added the Glass Dharma straws to my store, just for me 🙂 They know how much I love these straws and since many of you ask where I purchased them –they’ve been a fave since last fall!- I figured it would be a great addition if any of ya’ll are in the market for some.

Next, I took the puppers to the dog park for an hour to meet my friend Lauren and her two dogs, a beagle and chihuahua. The chihuahua’s name is Bosco, and he and Bella are deeply in love. They gazed into each other’s puppy eyes and I kept Viesa on the leash to abstain from eating the chihuahua out of jealousy.

She was a good girl, though 🙂

    Woo hoo happy day! It would be awesome to see you create more veggie packed breakfasts in the next year. I love starting my day out with green goodness.

    A FITNESSISTA loves being fit & healthy and inspiring others to do the same.She is creative, family loving, pet loving and has a zest for life!

    I’d love to discover products in the U.K. that match the U.S. products you use in your recipes so maybe a comparison list we can all add to??

    Perhaps some mini videos on Youtube to illustrate moves.

    A fitnessista loves how healthy eating and activity make her feel and is always searching for that great run/centered yoga practice/muscle-busting class!
