Lovely Day for a Tea Giveaway
Hellooooooo 😀 How are ya?? I’m so glad ya’ll are liking the Winter Shape Up workouts! Keep up the amazing work and update me with how you’re doing! I’ve already heard some awesome feedback from this week’s workout. Check it out, yo 😉
Today has been a chocolatey day.
It all started with this beast:
An ooey, gooey chocolate bfast cookie.
-1/2 cup multigrain oats
-1 smashed banana
-almond milk
-raw cacao powder
-1 T almond butter
-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior
-drizzle of the agave cacao syrup Katie sent me
I am a hardcore chocolate lover, and this was almost a little too much sweet for breakfast.
You never would have guessed from my mid-morning snack:
Bahah. More chocolate 😉
Guess lots of veggies are in my lunch future.
I also had a shot of “C”:
(Tip: when you use less water, it tastes WAY better)
And LOTS of tea.
(Thank you again to Celestial Seasonings for the sample!)
Whatever this weird ick is, I’m still fighting it 🙂
I spent the morning cleaning the casa then took these little monkeys to the vet.
Viesa had to get her bordatella, and Bella cowered in the corner the whole time even though she didn’t need to get anything today. They both got ice cream afterwards, though 😉
I’m about to take them for a walk, then meeting Jeni at the gym.
I told you guys that this week I’d let you know about the craziness that’s going on in my life (it’s all good stuff) so I thought I’d start with a little hint.
I’ll be wearing these again:
😉
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you soon!
xoxo,
Gina

More cooking school or opening your own?!? I hope so! I hope you sell things online that I can buy. YUM! 🙂
And I did not like my first few attempts at the bfast cooking, but THAT ONE looks amazing and I must try again. You had me at gooey chocolate.
Viesa and Bella are adorable – as always.
Hmm…work shoes! Are you going to be managing your own studio? Going back to school?
I can’t wait to find out 😀
For some reason I can’t leave a comment on the actual Lovely Day for a Tea Giveaway page so I figured I’d leave the comment here?
I am currently fighting something going around my school, I’ve been super tired and stuffy. I am always in need of a pick me up and I live on tea. I would love to win this tea package! Thank you for posting it 🙂
Jamie
I think those are the shoes you wore when you were at 105 degrees!!??
Sweet puppies! <3
I also could not leave a comment on the Tea Giveaway page…so I am leaving it here instead! 🙂
I usually eat pretty healthily, but lately I feel like I am eating too many sweets, and could definitely use a cleanse. I make fresh fruit and veggie juices at home, and I think that some cleansing tea would be a perfect supplement to the juices! Yummmm.
Thanks!
I have no idea, but I”m guessing more culinary school? (Those look like comfy shoes to stand in, I guess!)
P.S.: for some reason I can’t comment on the giveaway!
The breakfast cookie looks so good, I really need to try it! And I have the same shoes! Love them 🙂
Love Danskos! I just got a pair of the tall boots, so cute.
I tried to leave a comment on the tea giveaway page, but for some reason I couldn’t? I’d love a chance to win — I have a very stressful exam coming up in a few weeks, and I’ve been having trouble sleeping. Some tea to help me relax would be great!
I couldn’t comment on the other page either, but here are my symptoms: scratchy throat, froggy cough, starting to feel a little sluggish and run down. Please, no more sickness this winter! A little help from Celestial Seasonings would be wonderful!
My guesses: More culinary school, opening your own raw takeout shop, baking and selling raw goodies??
Wow – so much going on!!!! BTW…just passing it along – blue agave on sale – link on my blog:
http://notjustbeansandrice.blogspot.com/2010/02/blue-agave-on-sale.html
Don’t know if you used this – can you give me your opinion on it before I purchase? Thanks!
Hey Gina and happy Monday! Thanks for the challenge! I have already scheduled it into my planner! Love it!
Hmm, those look like your culinary school shoes, so I know it’s got to be food related!
By the way, I couldn’t comment on the giveaway page for some reason, but I could really use some Sleepy Time tea from Celestial seasonings to help me relax and get to bed earlier. 🙂
Like everyone else, I can’t leave a comment either. consider this my entry! 🙂
I’m feeling worn down and would love a little tea package!
Don’t tease us!!! I hope it has something to do with Macaroons?!?!? (Please say yes, please say yes!!)
yes it does 🙂
My entry for the tea give away: I am trying to reduce the coffee in my life, but it is cold in Illinois! I would love to try some new hot teas as a sub for the crazy amount of coffee I usually drink. 🙂
I often feel fatigued and frequently get headaches. I am trying to give up coffee, so the tea would be welcomed 🙂
My sleep is much better than it used to be, but I’d love to try the Sleepytime Tea for those nights that still have me tossing & turning.
i love tea..anytime, anywhere. 🙂
That detox AM tea would help me out after a rough night of drinking!
my symptoms are im feeling healthy and want to stay that way.
cool giveaway.
couldnt comment either!! but ive been trying to fight off a cold for sometime now and it keeps coming back! teas would be helpful!
My symptoms: where to start? I have GERD and always experience side effects from the disease. They include a “lump in the throat” feeling, sore throat, heartburn and sometimes feeling short of breath. I also am feeling SUPER run down, working 3 jobs and going to school full time is not helpful in staying healthy.
Thanks again for always posting awesome advice!
i have been fighting the ick too.. I think I need a nice big glass of C to help and some tea, of course!
For the tea giveaway. I’ve had a upset stomach and runny nose since yesterday.
My symptoms for the Celestial Seasonings giveaway would have to be mainly feeling bloated and/or run down. Boated due to the veggies I eat (but they’re sooo good!!!!), so I’d love to be able to enjoy a mug of tea at night to reduce that. Thanks!!
I could not leave a comment in your tea giveaway, so here are my symptoms:
I need to cleanse my body after over-indulging in fatty foods, alcohol or caffeine.
After lots of goodies at yesterday’s super bowl party (sans the alcohol), I feel the need to cleanse my body! Which is perfect, b/c this Saturday is my bday and Sunday is Valentine’s Day!!
I’d love some energy or cleansing tea! And I’m gonna guess something in the medical field??? Maybe dietician/nutritionist???
The Bfast cookie looks delish!! And I’m in need for some new tea.. I tried the Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride this past holiday season and loved!! Hope you get to feeling better!
I must say that I am very happy and so thankful to be generally healthy and almost never sick. My health and wellness are important to me and I pay close attention to how I treat my body. All that being said, I do suffer from lack of energy (although I do remain very active), which I am experimenting with right now to try and improve. I do love tea and would love to win the giveaway!
Glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. And so intrigued to learn about the changes coming up in your life! What could those shoes mean?
First of all, I love your blog!
Second of all, I just began drinking tea this past fall & am quickly falling in love with it! I am amazed by its health benefits & want to continue to explore different types and flavors!
Third, my symptoms. I am a busy busy college student trying to balance 18 credits, work, clubs, healthy lifestyle, and a social life!! I am often run-down & try to avoid getting sick as much as possible. I also am feeling quite bloated from a weekend of a little bit of indulging on caffeine & fatty foods. I’d love to cleanse my body with some delish tea!
Keep up the great work, you rock! 🙂
I am run down with a terrible (constant) stomachache! I would love to win some tea to help with that.
im so excited to hear your news! i’m going to stalk you on twitter right now to see if i can pick up any hints haha
Gina, this couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I’e been pretty stressed lately and have been suffering from almost daily heartburn and restless sleeps. I love to drink tea when I’m not well and LOVE the Celestial brand. Man I hope I win! 😉
I workout, eat healhy (most of the time), and get 8 hours of sleep…but the last week my engergy level has been down, and I constantly am feeling tired. I would also like to detox from alcochol from my weekend nights 🙂
I have a sore, scratchy throat from talking a lot (haha) and running outdoors in very wintry weather. I’d love some Celestial Seasoning tea to keep me hydrated and feeling great!
Please enter me into the giveaway! I’m having trouble sleeping, because my husband is about to leave for a 6-week long work trip– I’m sure you can relate to that! 😉 Also, we’ve been indulging in too much fatty “comfort food” since hearing his travel news, so I’d love some tea for bloating and detox! Thanks!!
Cooking school? Or are you opening up your own business making healthy food??? Hum…
My symptoms: The past two days I’ve had an upset stomach with bloating. I would love to try the Tummy Mint. 🙂
I’ve also over indulged a bit over the weekends (or weekends in general) and the AM Detox seems great also.
I have had a sore throat the last two days, I am fighting it with all I can (Emergen-C, Sleepytime! etc) but I am worried it is going to develop wings. Whenever I get into a killer gym routine I always get ill…I am sure it is the gross people who don’t clean their machines. Anyways I have been a devoted CS fan since…forever, and would LOVE to try these new things, ESPECIALLY the Sleepytime Extra, as the original has been my love for years!
I love Celestial Seasonings tea!
I am hardly ever sick, but I do get occasional bad headaches, bloating, and fatigue. I also get way too stressed over life’s little issues. Maybe a relaxing tea package could help?
i’ve currently got a sore throat and am snowed in in dc! this would be perfect!
I’ve been fighting off something, but cheering on the saints to victory in the cold last night didn’t help. I woke up with a runny nose and a sore throat =(
AAH!!! Are you cheffing again?!?! I know Danskos are the shoe of choice for most of my chef-friends…
I got to visit the Celestial Seasonings factory/plant in CO when I was younger, it was so cool!
Those look like some comfy shoes for someone in the health field!
Headache, exhausted and run down, sore throat 🙁 I feel nasty and some tea would be nice 🙂
After today’s workout, I’m feeling perfectly healthy with no odd symptoms to speak of! I’ll take a green tea, please 🙂
Are you going to go back to cooking school? I can’t wait to hear about what you have been up to.
