CR Cuisine and Amenities

After ย a weekend of picturesque views, healthy culinary delights, being pampered and learning (new fitness and health techniques, and also about myself) it’s time to head back to the land of cacti.

Get the good stuff going

This is a sponsored post from Blue Diamond Almonds. Sponsored posts are a rarity around here, as I only accept product reviews and sponsored posts from brands I’m truly passionate about. Even though I was compensated to write this post, as always all opinions are my own. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ I’m always a little groggy in the…

Sock lopsided

Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While youโ€™re teaching multiple fitness classes, itโ€™s hard to forget that youโ€™re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didnโ€™t feel very good. This did, though ๐Ÿ˜‰ (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) And…

I love the fact that the screen shows wattage (power), cadence, heart rate, distance and time. (The bottom left button enables you to create a โ€œstageโ€ that will track your…

Stuffed bell peppers

I got to see the sunrise this morning.   While Iโ€™m not a morning person in the least โ€“I usually wake up around 6:45 or 7, but donโ€™t turn into a human until at least 8- it was surprising to discover that I actually liked waking up so early today. Iโ€™m not going to make…

Hey hey ๐Ÿ˜€ How was your day? Hope youโ€™re having a great night so far ๐Ÿ™‚ Work today was amazeballz. I just feel so fortunate to do what I love every single day. When I get paychecks, theyโ€™re kind of surprising because I have to remind myself that I actually worked. As the saying goes…
