Bring on the quarter life crisis

Hey everyone!! How’s your morning going??

Mine has been WONDERFUL, as I woke up to a plethora of birthday tweets, Facebook love and sweet comments 😀 THANK YOU friends <3

I really, really wanted a birthday breakfast cookie to start the day, but since I’m out of almond butter (again –note: buy two jars at a time) it’s going to have to wait.

I had to bust out the supercute cupcake plate the familia sent 🙂

An ezekiel muffin with smart balance and Texas Pete, each topped with an egg white and served with a small salad. I love salad for breakfast 😀

It was so delicious!

The pilot’s gifts and cards were staring me down….

gifty

He did a good job wrapping, huh??

He finally woke up and gave me permission to unwrap the goods…

Gorgeous 😀

Well I’m off to heat up the guest room for a yoga podcast, picking up some almond butter and then who knows?? The pilot said he’s making dinner tonight- I’m excited!

See you soon with that giveaway I’ve been slacking working on 😉

xoxo,

G

  16. Diana on November 12, 2009 at 11:17 pm

    Happy Birthday!!!
    I am also a Coach fanatic, and I have a question for you… I am a vegetarian (for about 3 years now), and while I stopped eating meat and eat dairy and eggs very occasionally, I have a HUUUGE guilty feeling anytime I want or buy anything leather…because, while I try so hard to make sure the occasional dairy products I do buy come form “happy cows”, how can I use leather goods that haven’t? I don’t want to bring you down or anything, but how do you justify using leather goods when you’re so sure to use ethical, organic everything else?
    Thanks for reading this!

      hey diana,
      the way i eat is 100% for health reasons, but as an animal lover, i do purchase organic food ingredients whenever possible because i like to know the animals are given fair and sanitary conditions to live in and aren’t abused or mistreated. when it comes to shoes and purses, i honestly forget that they’re made out of animal (horrible, i know) and it’s definitely something i want to work on. when coach comes out with a vegan line, you know i’ll buy those over the regular styles.

    Happy birthday!!!! Love the Coach gifts, the pilot certainly has good taste 😉 Have a fabulous birthday weekend!!

    Happy Birthday!!!

  21. allijag on November 13, 2009 at 9:29 am

    I’ve been so busy at work I’m so far behind! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY PRETTY LADY!!!! So glad you had such a wonderful day!

    (and LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE that gorgy bag! totally jealous of here!) 🙂

  22. Erin on November 16, 2009 at 9:11 pm

    WOW nice job on the gift pilot! And the wrapping? So perf.
    25 is such a beautiful year and I’m so glad you’ve hit it. I am enjoying each year even more as I learn what makes me who I am and how much I have to offer the world around me. And how much I don’t…you know, knowing my limits, and being cool with them…not trying to be who I’m not…it’s beautiful. 🙂
    You’re so fabulous Gina. I know your birthday is over but WHATEVA.

    • Fitnessista on November 16, 2009 at 9:27 pm

      my friend renee said something very similar.. now that she’s 30, she said shes never felt more confident and happy with himself 🙂
      thank you for the bday wish! love you friend <3
