1/17: Friday Faves
-Someone special who always reminds me to stop and smell the flowers. -Black garlic from Trader Joe’s. It sounds totally weird, but is surprisingly delicious. The bitterness is removed through the fermentation process, leaving a slightly sweet, soft, garlicky clove. I added them to some mushroom gravy the other night, and also ate an entire…

Bye-bye, eyelashes
[Warning: gross eyeball pics ahead. Please skip if eyeballs and veins make you squeamish, or if you happen to be eating your lunch] So, I’m a bit of a stubborn one. (It’s part of my Scorpio nature.) Sometimes it’s in my favor, as I think it helps me to work a little bit harder, and…

New stability ball workout {video}
Good morning! Happy almost-Friday <3 Zumba went really well last night! I had three ladies, who take Zumba classes often together, and they were a hoot. They followed along extremely well, so I threw in a couple of my more complicated dances towards the end. After not teaching for a while, and only being used…

Back at it + a new Zumba playlist
Afternoon pho. The best kind 😉 Pho hack: I saved some of the broth from takeout -they always give us extra- and added cooked chicken, more cilantro, sriracha, and boiled TJ’s rice noodles. Speaking of the chicken, it’s probably the best chicken I’ve ever made. This is the recipe. It’s super easy, makes the house…

Lean lovely leg burner
Monday: Not too shabby when you have Prosecco in the sink, (someone has to drink it, right?) and brownies in the oven! As far as the Prosecco goes, we had the genius idea to chill it in the freezer so we could enjoy it last night. Of course, we forgot about it and remembered our…

Meg: Weekend wears
Oh, Sundays. I really love Sundays. For the longest time I worked weekends and now that I’m no longer the “new girl” at work, I have Sunday and Monday off. Sunday happenings are always so laid back and fun. This weekend was a double bonus because the hubby didn’t work Sunday either! Lately we have…

My cleaning chart + around the house tips
Hi friends 🙂 Happy Monday! Thank you so much Livi’s “get well” wishes. Thankfully she’s been on the ups (knock on wood), so hopefully it continues to stay that way. Recently, I got a request for a post about home organization, and since it’s fun to switch things up around here, I thought I’d roll…
