   Mmmmm… Cookie Dough cereal may be the best invention yet.

   Good luck with the trunk show! I wish my local Lululemon was having one today! 🙂

   Cookie dough cereal sounds amazing! Time to throw away my flowers too… the roses are ok, but the rest look very sad.

   I love that you posted a pic of your wilted flowers — I posted my tulips this morning that are hanging on for dear life!

   I voted for your blog — I’m sure you’ll make it in!

    I don’t like watching flowers wilt either, but I get sad having to throw them away! Have fun at your Lululemon trunk show – I can’t wait to hear more about it!

    I do the same thing and keep flowers as long as I can! Supposedly if you spray them with hair spray they last longer.

    Let the flowers dry out and make some pretty decorations 🙂

    When I was in high school I used to hang up the roses my boyfriend gave me and dry them. My walls used to be covered and it drove my mom nuts!

    Hi Gina! I’ve heard about your blog for a long time now but I don’t know why it took me so long to check it out! I love it! And, we have quite a lot in common too…I’m a military wife (Army) too and we just moved to Sierra Vista, AZ recently (which is about an hour and a half from Tucson)! We visit Tucson frequently to get our fill of a “real” city….there’s not much to Sierra Vista! 😉 Anyway I look forward to reading more of your blog and getting some great recs for places to visit in Tucson!

    Well I left a comment but for some reason it’s not showing up, so I’m going to do it again! Gina, I’ve heard about your blog for a long time now and I have no idea why it took me so long to check it out. I am in love already! Also, we have quite a bit in common…I’m also a military wife (Army) and we recently moved to Sierra Vista, AZ (about an hour and a half from Tucson)!

    My roommate likes to dry all the flowers she gets from her boyfriend. They still turn black but it’s nice to keep them. What’s a lululemon trunk show?

    the Peach protein and goat milk kefir smoothie looks delish! so creamy and perfect looking!

    have fun at the trunk show. Oh that would take some retail willpower and restraint for me 🙂

    Hope your packing and your day goes by easily and cant wait for the readers request post. Always fun to read!

    put a rubber band around the stems and hang them upside down until they dry…they become beautiful decorations…

    I’m not quite sure what a trunk show is, but if it involves Lululemon, it must be good! Have fun! 😀

    I hate parting with beautiful flowers, too. I had to toss my roses from Valentine’s Day. They were looking pretty sad . . . all dried up, wilted and losing their petals.
    I love Bella’s smushy face!

    I hate throwing flowers away too! As the roses start to wilt you should hang them upside down for a few weeks and let them dry out. By hanging them it makes them stand upright when you put them back in the vas:) They look really pretty! I did it once with two dozen roses and i’ve had them for about 3 years and they still look beautiful:)

    Hi Gina,

    Just wanted to say I love your blog! I don’t comment much bc commenting is blocked for me at work (where I do most of my blog reading…oops :))

    Love the song! I tried out zumba a month or so back after reading so many good things from you and others and am obsessed now, it is so much fun!

    My next website stop will be to vote for Fitnessista for the Womens Health Blogs!

    voted for you! i was wondering if the history of your eating habits post is a reader’s request. if it isn’t, can i request it?! i think with NEDA week and everything you would serve as a great example of how one alters their eating habits to fit such an active lifestyle- still struggle with this myself!
