Nudge Fry
Apparently I need to work on my stir fry skills.
I guess you need to flip and stir with vigor? I just munched my kettle corn and pushed the veggies and chicken around in the pot (we don’t have a wok). The Pilot mentioned my “nudge fry” skills… but stopped teasing me when he ate the meal 😉
Some onions, carrots, local chicken and asparagus, cooked on high with sea salt, cayenne, garlic, tamari and a little brown sugar at the end
with brown rice, and my favorite broccoli slaw (sans chickpeas)
x3- I used a small plate so I could fit everything on the placemat for a pic #bloggingproblems
Earlier in the day, I took Bell for a little walk. Sometimes we only make it down a couple of streets and back, but I figure it’s better than nothing.
(she wore those teeny white sunglasses and a hat. I couldn’t handle the cuteness)
and hit up the gym for a little weights workout. I’ve been a HUGE fan of circuits lately, and love going to work out later at night because sometimes I have the whole place to myself. In the morning I have a lot more energy, so if I can squeeze in a cardio DVD, I’ll do it, but like to go to the gym for strength training a couple of nights each week. There’s only so much you can do with a stability ball, and we’re try to decide if we should get suspension trainers to put in the office since we don’t have weights here at the house. It would be a great way for both of us to get in strength training at home.
This morning, I’m off to work, so I just munched a quick bowl of oats and got my snacks ready for the morning:
(TJs kale salad, Larabar, Apple)
and get to come home and see my two favorite people for my lunch break- the Pilot is home today 🙂
Hope you have a happy humpday!
See ya later with a Family post <3
xoxo

Random: I’m scary excited that this palette is finally out:
Has anyone tried it yet?!
*PS: Thank you so much for the computer tips! It was also interesting to read the crazy fitness trends you’ve seen. The bride one BLEW my mind.

Whoa, is that kale Trader Joes salad new? I’ll have to check if mine has it.
whats the hype with the urban decay actually?
is it worth the price?
Cute Livi donning the mohawk…:-)
you should see the back- i can almost braid it into a rat tail 😉
Haha, too sweet. 🙂
Those mini sunglasses are major cuteness!
I bought the naked2 back a few months ago and I think it’s worth every cent! Especially with their primer potion.
Thanks, good to know.
I guess until it comes out in Germany, I’ll have to wait some months…:-(
I love both the Naked palette and the Naked 2 palette. In my opinion you need both 🙂 I love the consistency and application of the shadows (especially when going for a neutral smokier look!). I love mix & matching the matte shades from both sets too!
I can’t even tell you how much I love the Naked 2 palette. I use it all the time, the colors are exceptionally good, blend perfectly, and the primer potion is one of my favorite things ever. I’ve been using that for years.
I have the original naked and lurve it! These palettes are seriously the best.
Can’t go wrong with the Naked palette! Love that TJ’s salad!
Oh wow, that eyeshadow palette looks gorgeous! I need to stay far, far away from Sephora!
i use Naked or Naked2 every day. Worth every penny!
I’ve tried that eyeshadow pallette! My friend bought it and absolutely LOVES it (says its totally worth the invetment), I tried hers and now it is on my Sephora wish list 🙂
I love my naked 2 pallet! I love the original as well, .but this one is even better! I use them everyday. They are great
oh my goodness she is getting so big!!
Do you have a picture of Livi wearing the sunglasses? I would love to see it!!!!
yes, do you have instagram? ginanott 🙂
Haha – nudge fry, fantastic! Ooh all these new TJ’s salads look yum! Can’t wait to try them when I return to the states. Also, I absolutely *love* my naked2 palette, I use it every day! Bought it back in December, I think the very day it was released (what can I say, I really liked the first one…)
Sometimes just 2 blocks is all you can do, need, or muster. Or all that is necessary to totally change the mood and vibe. Fresh air, changing scenery, it’s all good 🙂 You and Olivia look adorable together 🙂
The best part about the Naked 2 pallet is the brush that comes with the set! Exceptionally high quality.
I’m impressed that with a tiny baby you find the time and energy to exercise, cook AND wear/buy eye shadow! I guess there are advantages to doing the kid thing in your 20s!
it’s an insane juggling act for sure. and many days the eyeshadow.. or any makeup at all… doesn’t happen
I love the Naked 2 palette – I’ve had it for a few months & use it a lot more than the first one! It has a bigger mirrors & a nicer brush, plus it’s metal so it cleans up easier if you should get a smudge of make up on it or something. The potion primer is amazing.
Your dinner pictures are starving me, looks great!
The NAKED 2 has been out! I am surprised you didn’t know!! I would of thought you would of even before it was released 😉
Happy Wednesday love!
i was too caught up in baby extravanganza to keep up with makeup stuff!
Love the picture of you and Livi – adorable. And your phone cover is super cute! Anything teeny tiny is so precious, but sunglasses have to top the list 🙂 That kale salad looks awesome! I’ll have to try that out next time I swing by TJ’s.
Oh Em GEEEE…I didn’t even know that Urban Decay was putting out that gorg palette! *Running to Sephora to pick up stat!*
I want to get the Naked 2 palate. Your stirfry skills look just fine!
You have good taste in makeup! I have the original Naked palette and I loveee it! I love buying makeup but feel guilty about wasting money on other eyeshadows because the Naked one is literally all that I use!
I got the Naked 2 and it is AMAZING. Between the first and this one, I’m set for life.
Naked2 is 100% worth it. LOVE!
“Nudge fry” cracked me up! This is how I stir fry, too. I’m always plating the rice, or actually cleaning a plate on which to plate the rice, or doing ten other things while my veggies are cooking. You’re lucky your hubbie eats veggies! *jealous*
he eats everything.. including veggies 🙂
Everyone always raves about that TJ’s brocolli slaw! Yet another reason I wish we had one here in upstate ny!! Someday maybe… 🙂
What do you do with the broccoli slaw? I have a bag but i don’t know what to do with it. Do you cook it or just add stuff to it?

here ya go!
i should have linked to it in the post and spaced it
Ooh I’d love a recipe for the broccoli slaw! I love stirfries, they’re my absolute favourite. And we need a pic of Livi in those white sunglasses! Sounds adorable.
That looks like such a fantastic dinner!! The whole constant stirring thing evades me too, but it looks like yours turned out well anyway! And Livi looks so adorable in that picture like she is looking at the phone wondering what you are doing! And I just got the Naked 2 palate and it is AMAZING! It makes it super easy and quick in the mornings too because they are all right there and blend so well together!
Oh! I just saw that salad at TJs this morning and was tempted to pick it up. Have you eaten it before? Those salads are lifesavers, sometimes. Especially when I forget to bring my lunch! I’m lucky there is a TJs in walking distance from my work. And I think your stir – fry looks just fine!
so cute how livi is looking right at your phone screen as you’re taking the pic of you guys!! love it 🙂 and your stir fry (nudge) looks amazing- that’s definitely one of my face meals over here!
That palette looks awesome! Have you tried Bobbi Brown’s Naked/neutral pallets? Gorgeous!
no i haven’t, but i love bobbi brown products! their bronzer is my fave
Gosh! She is such a cutie pie!!!
Gahh I’ve wanted that makeup pallet since I first saw it in a mag!
livi looks so stinkin precious!
I can’t get over Livi holding her head up and looking in the mirror in that pic! Too darn adorable!
If you liked the original Naked, you will LOVE the Naked 2! It’s even better than the original!
Eeee that palette looks so amazing! Let us know if you end up purchasing 🙂
already happened. haha
i’ll let you know how i like it!
that picture of you and Livi is SO sweet!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the NAKED2 Palette! Worth every penny. The shadows are gorgeous, blend well, and stay put. And darn if I didn’t go buy a full-size of the trial-size lip gloss… 🙂
A friend of mine got the Naked2 pallet… it’s beautiful! Look at Livi holding her head up like such a big girl!
right?! she’s growing so fast
I usually splurge on mac makeup so don’t have much advice to offer on the new palette except for that I love the colors!
I just found your blog, and I LOVE it. I’ve been reading it for about 2 days straight. It’s been exactly what I need to keep my workouts interesting. Thank you so much!
thank you so much for reading! it’s nice to meet you 🙂
If you have the original naked palette, this one might be a waste of money (if you’re choosing between the two, I think the original one is more wearable for daytime use, but lacks a black shadow for setting eyeliner).
I do like the purple color on the sequel, it’s a lot deeper than the purple on the original. I wonder if they sell it separately….
Have you checked out the Nars eyeshadow duos?
no i haven’t, but i LOVE nars! the orgasm blush is one of my staples 🙂
good to know- i have a tarte palette that’s pretty similar, but this might be nice for night
If you are set for daytime, go for it! Naked2 is great for deeper, more sultry looks.
I have been playing around with the Nars Orgasm multi-use stick, and I have to say: I love it in a much different way than the regular blush. It wears differently, and works so well in drier climates. You know, just in case you don’t have enough makeup 😉
Love this eyeshadow-stays on allllll day and I use the black for eyeliner with slanted brush. WOrth it to have so many color choices.
yay, i’m glad to know you’re a fan!
Olivia is totally looking at herself in the pic! So cutee!
Just wondering how your cloth diapering experiment is going? I was reading on Caitlin’s blog about the great debate on cloth vs disposable. I personally don’t have any children but my sister is a huge advocate for gDiapers and I’m she’s convinced me that one day when I have kids I’ll end up doing it (but we’ll see how that goes..one day many years from now 😉 )
it’s going well so far. i’m going to post about it on the family page tomorrow, but so far, so good-ish.
cute pic of the two of you! Is that the moby wrap?? and if so, do you recommend any onlin youtube videos or other tutorials to help a soon to be new mama out with her wrapping skills?! thanks!
t’s the ktan- i have both and like the ktan a little more because you don’t have to wrap it, just loop the fabric
