Lovely Lady [Nose] Lump
Hey everyone 🙂
Wowzas. Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments on the last post… Ya’ll made my night with such wonderful and sweet words and I hope you know how much I appreciate it. I was kind of in a bummer mood when I wrote that and you all turned that around so quickly. It was an excellent reminder that we should all find peace with our little quirks… it’s what makes us different, makes us beautiful and usually no one notices what the cause of our insecurity is anyway. Just proof that I’m 100% girl and I too have my moments of feeling less-than-fab. I’ll definitely stay on the road with finding peace with my bumpy schnoz 😉 Thank you again for making my night <3 Such a beautiful, classy and amazing group of bloggys you are 🙂 xoxo
Today has been pretty standard in the eats department, but on the exciting front, the cafe has a name 🙂
I couldn’t wait to break out the mesquite that I had ordered (it came yesterday!)
(for info on mesquite, check out this website)
Contrary to what it might sound like, mesquite doesn’t taste like BBQ. It has a sweet, almost-carob flavor and I added it to today’s breakfast cookie:
This baby had:
-1/2 C multigrain oats
-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior
-1 T almond butter
-1 T mesquite
-1 t cinnamon
-pinch sea salt
-1 smashed banana
-almond milk
-and as always, foodgasms 🙂
Yes, I gave up sweets for Lent. I’m not including bfast cookies in the sweets category, but am just going to try to keep them from being dessert-y (by not adding chocolate chips, Stevia, etc)
I hit up the gym with Ashley (biceps and triceps), then came home for an egg puff:
and went in for a Friday facial 😀 I got the usual honey-almond scrub and tried a new peel today- the seaweed mask.
This isn’t me in the pic, but it’s exactly what the seaweed mask looked like:

The entire mask is peeled off when it dries and it looks like your face 😉
I talked on the phone with the cafe owner for a little while, and we both were in total agreement about the name for the cafe.
There were SO many amazing, witty and creative suggestions, but the one we decided to roll with is:
G.R.O.O.V.E
and in small print underneath that: Gluten-free Raw Organic Original Vegan Eats
Would you eat there?!
I totally would 😀
Bethany, please send me an email and we’ll get a contract send out to ya, then I’ll get your $50 worth of health food store goodies and macaroons in the mail.
Thank you again to everyone for your wonderful suggestions!!
(The online bakery has a different name and will be up and running by mid-April as well)
Off to train a client <3
xoxo,
Gina

OMG. Of course I would’ve loved to win, but that name is sooo original and cute! As a gluten-free vegan, I would eat there every meal I could afford, for sure!
I love it!
Such an awesome name! What a big step in progress!
Sooo jealous of your facial. It’s been a minute (or few months) since I’ve had one!

Wow, awesome name. I’m impressed! She definitely wins. 🙂 So exciting, congratulations on the name!!
I’d eat there. 🙂
I absolutely love the name! And totally would eat there 🙂
I love facials, almost as much as massages. *Almost*
me too, it’s always a tough decision!!!! i try to alternate but tend to go with massages more 😉
Awesome name!!! I’d totally eat there!
can’t wait to order things!
also- how do you make your eggs that way?
spray a glass bowl with olive oil (or nonstick spray) add the eggs and microwave for 1-2 min
That name is fantastic…and SO creative! I’m gonna have to order some of your macaroons once they’re up online and have them delivered to my friends place in MI just so that I can try’em! Do they freeze well? Because my bud’s only home once a month…. 😉
yup they freeze very well!
I love the name! I am not a gluten free vegan but I love original and fresh food that is prepared with thought and I totally get that from the name. I just wish I lived near-by :(.
Awesome name! That is so exciting 🙂
I love the name! Would definitely eat there. 🙂
I’m in love! G.R.O.O.V.E. is positively groovy (yeah, you knew it was coming) 🙂 I’m so excited for you, girlfriend!
Re: your last post. I’m just catching up. You know that I think you are absolutely beautiful, inside and out right? You are the ultimate in “classy” and that’s why your readers appreciate you so much.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead of you. I promise I will text/call sometime soon.
I love the name. Since I live in Valdosta, I think I’ll have to check it out once it opens!
That’s a very catchy name- good one!!
PERFECT name! Good work, Bethany 🙂
Really really amazing name! Creative and original and catchy! So happy for you!
Mesquite sounds awesome – I’ll scope it out next time I go grocery shopping. And gosh I could use a facial…maybe time for an at home one.
Glad you are feeling better 🙂 🙂
Cute name too! Congrats!
What an awesome name for the restaurant!!
I love the name, way to go Bethany – that is perfect & I would eat there!
AMAZING name! I would so eat there! I don’t know if I’d go to Valdosta for it, though, after all your talk of non Valdosta exciting-ness, but I’d definitely order off your website!
LOL, i don’t blame you 😉
Btw, I have the SAME mesquite 🙂 I love it on sliced apples with a dash of cinnamon. I’ll have to try it to my next breakfast cookie 😉
Have a fab weekend!
xx

Love the name!!!!! Its perfect!!!!! Have a great weekend love!! xoxo
LOVE the name! How perfect 🙂 Question – are you still eating Chia pudding? Haven’t seen it on the blog lately and just wondering if there was a reason.
oh yeah, i love chia pudding, i just haven’t made it in way too long!
awesome name!! congrats!
wow that name is amazing!! can’t wait for the online bakery because i don’t think I’ll be coming to Valdosta any time soon, but if I was I’d def be knocking on GROOVE’s door 🙂
I love that name! I wish I was creative enough with those things – I would have loved that prize package. 🙂
Interesting about the mesquite – on your blog I always hear about these different seasonings and foods and am always too scared to try them! One day, I promise …

Fun that you guys have picked out a name- great one at that- if I’m ever in the area, I will be checking in on you, and ordering half the menu!
Great name! I would absolutely eat there! In fact, I see a lot of franchise potential, and I think the next location you should choose is somewhere in Michigan. Has nothing to do with the fact that that’s where I happen to live… 😉
Love the name! My dad lives in GA, so maybe next time I visit him, GROOVE will be up and running! Can’t wait to see your online selection, too! 😀
Love the name! Very innovative.
Just outta curiosity, how often do you get facials? The “experts” say you should get them when the seasons change….I’m definitely due for one as soon as winter is over.
i get them every 2-4 weeks… they feel soooo good 🙂
I love that name! Very clever and makes me want to eat there! Hey so, I’m sure other people have said this, but I NEVER noticed anything was different about your nose! You are gorgeous! Nuff Said.
Great name. Great meaning. Also — screw that nose question! The nerve of some people, huh? I always joke that my nose casts a shadow on my face. 🙂 Congrats on your upcoming businesses! And thanks to your husband for his service and to you for your sacrifice.
Great Name!!
Perfect name, especially with the right sassyfunky font styling! Ps: I was shocked about the nose, would have never thought twice, and really still don’t know what your talking about. You’re beautiful!
