Smiling’s My Favorite
Hi guys! How are you?? Hope youโre having a wonderful weekend <3
It was a lovely first full day in Tucson.
Almost all of the to-doโs got checked off the list, too
-Signed the papers on where Iโll be living (I move in next week!)
-Met some lovely lulus
-Got my gym membership taken care of โ took a Zumba class and met a bloggy!
-All of my FedEx stuff is here
-And the perfect ending to a frantic day:
Vegan hot cocoa (almond milk, cocoa powder, Stevia, vanilla and cinnamon) and Elf.
It never gets old, ever
Some recent eats:
Pei Wizzle:
(Kidโs teriyaki shrimp with brown rice and veggies)
Blackened salmon salad from BJs:
As glorious as everything was, Iโm officially sick of eating to-go food. Itโs been a whole week and since I have a life plan for the next week, I can do some grocery shopping today and get back in the swing of things. So stoked
This morning Iโm off to a fitness event and then going to take care of some biznazz.
See ya laterrrrrr friends!
xoxo,
Gina
I got totally sick of to-go food on my honeymoon, so I know what you mean! It’s great because it’s convenient, but it makes you realize how much you miss home-cooking.
Glad everything is falling into place… have a great weekend! ๐
I hear you on getting sick of take out food — even thought it is so fun to have someone else make the food for you ๐
I definitely need to watch a Holiday movie soon — only 2 weeks until Christmas!
Here’s to New Beginnings!!!!!! So happy for you! : )
You’re awesome for getting so much taken care of so quickly! Good for you! ๐
I agree, eating to-go fun is so fun, but not for long periods of time!
My family watches Elf every Christmas Eve and it def. never gets old! Have a great Saturday! ๐
You sound so happy ๐
Sounds like you’re going to have a great time in Tucson!
SANTA!! I KNOW HIM!!! Ahh I haven’t watched that movie yet this season- really need to before Christmas though!! Hope you have a wonderful day ๐
I always miss cooking when I haven’t been able to – can’t wait to see you back in the kitchen ๐
Glad you seem settled and happy! Although I confess I wish you were in Boston so I could take Dance Trance!! ๐
You are a go-getter!! After driving forever across the country, you’ve already found a place, new gym, AND had an interview (just to name a few things). You seriously inspire me!
You’re amazing, don’t let anyone make you doubt that! ๐
Sounds like you’re off to a great start ๐ You seem happier already, too!
so awesome you will be moving into your own place next week! sounds amazing.
ELF is the BEST christmas movie ever!!! i absolutely love it, i watch it every year. so many scenes are my favorite, can’t even think of them all at the moment!
have a great weekend
You are SUCH a class act. After reading many of your 184 comments yesterday (not sure what they are up to now) but I was feeling awful for you. I mean honestly, I almost cried for you and for all bloggers who have to deal with crap. No one blogs and then deserves to have to deal with bigtime fallout. You are classy for just moving on and not even re-hashing it. Or giving it homage today. God bless you!
And I am impressed you have a gym, interviewing, signing a lease…you name it, you are a busy go-getter. And don’t let any monkey business get to you (it seems it hasnt which makes ME want to be stronger when I have fallout)
HUGS!!!!

ahhhh I love it! I watched Elf twice this morning during my marathon cooking – I kid you not – best movie ever! I love that you’re doing so well – soon enough you’ll be back to home-cooked meals!!
hey! I love your site, and I’m glad you’re happy in Arizona again. I just wondered if maybe in a post soon you could talk about protein powder supplements, in relation to weight loss/ management. Also, an explanation of how to navigate around the gym’s protein shake bar? There are sooooo many things to choose from, carnitine, glutamine, etc… thanks! and also, after reading about your love for Zumba, I finally took my first class this morning- it was awesome!!!
I love watching Elf too during the holiday season. That and Love Actually!
Totally in agreement with Averie.
Elf is so cute, glad you’re getting settled in.
SAAANNNNTTTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW HIM!!!!!!
I love Elf ๐ so glad you’re home and happy!
Wow, you are a pro at this moving thing!:)
Seems like you will be really happy in Tuscon!
Love Elf too! I started to let u know Fred Claus w/ Vince Vaughn was on twice last night. Glad you’re in your element again. Way to go. I love to check off my list especially this time of year. Check, check!!!! Tree up,presents bought etc.
So I was thinking about that Cheryl thing- and maybe she needs help. It seems like she might need a friend. I hope next she posts we can support her in some way, my mom always says kill ’em with kindness ๐
Elf is such a great movie! <3
Wow look at you go, sister! Grabbing life by the horns and doooin' it!
Your gorgeous girl! Keep on smiling ๐
xxoo
Elf rocks, we watched it last night for the millionth time. Great eats, but I know what you mean on road food, we got thoroughly sick of it when driving across country.
I love Elf too. I hear they’re turning it into a Broadway musical… should be very interesting. But hey, when there’s Broadway and musical in the same sentence, I say yes without asking questions.
Elf is hilarious! One of my favorite Christmas movies, for sure! So glad you’re getting settled in – sounds like this was definitely the “right move” (pun intended, lol). Have a good weekend!!!
So happy you’re back in Tucson! I’ve been a long time reader and U of A alumni as of this may. You MUST try the zumba class at the downtown YMCA with Issa. She’s amazing!!!
It was so good to meet you! ๐
loved meeting you too!!
ELF is the best Christmas movie ever…i could watch it for days on end ๐
I haven’t seen that movie in years because there was one year that I saw it so many times that I got sick of it haha. I think it’s time to dust it off and watch it again. ๐
I am so happy you are settled in. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world. I have always wanted to visit Arizona, maybe you could do a post of places one must see if and when visiting Tucson. Not sure if you are still taking reader requests.
Have a great weekend.
Love me some Pei Wizzle! ๐
SANNNTTAAAAA!!!!!! Ohhh that movie. ๐
I never comment, but I love your blog, and I’m so happy for you that you’re where you belong. I had a traumatic move that surrounded me with the wrong people, and I can’t help feeling relief again to see you happy. Congratulations!
ELF!! i love that movie so so much.
i’ve just started my health and fitness journey (and i’m blogging about it) and i love your blog. it’s inspiring to see women kicking ass
not that it means much but you’re going on my blog roll as soon as i figure how to work it! ๐
Glad everything is falling into place for you–you deserve it! ๐
I just made your version of vegan hot cocoa– it is DELICIOUS! I’m so excited since I get stomach aches from sugar at night, but am always craving chocolate. This is the perfect thing!
