The Boyfriend :)

I'm home for a half hour lunch from work right now..it's another long day :( I'm eating a Black Bean Burger that i prepared last night, with Hummus...mmmm. So good. I would like to introduce you all to my boyfriend Cam (now that he gave me pic to put his pic up :) ) I have been with him almost 4 years now. He's my everything. he's been through it all with me, my anorexia, the worst part of it. He never gave up on me. I took this pic last night at Starbucks after I met him after he got off of a long shift of work...haha.



He was all like "OK OK, just take the pic" ha ha. He's such a great guy. We don't live together..yet. We are thinking of moving in together when I get back from England/Ireland.

In other news, I see so many of you drink Synergy Drinks..I was wondering if you can get these at Whole Foods? Or if they are even available in Canada? I don't think I've ever seen them. I would really love to try them though! Any review on how they are? best flavor just in case I do find them!! Starting tomorrow I will be taking pics of some of my meals and so on. so excited!! Well, off to work again :( I'll update later..hope you are all having a great day!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxxo

Exhausting Day.

Today was a LONG day. I had to work form 7am to 6pm..ugh. So no workouts today :( But I did eat healthy for the most part. Spelt Flakes and a banana for breakfast, A gigantic salad that I prepared last night. I used a ton of lettuce, spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and some chick peas..it was delicious and very filling. I have yet to eat dinner and it is 8:30! I did make a green monster awhile ago and that is filling me up quite a bit. But I think I'll have another one of those delicious wraps (courtesy of Heather at Health, Happiness and Hope!) I had one yesterday and it was so delicious :) Thanks Heather! I also topped off at Best Buy on my way home and finally got a cord for my camera! Now I can start taking some pics. I took this one of me a few minutes ago..ha ha. My hair is already getting lighter, I washed 3 times already to get the dark coloring out. It's fading nicely :)



I'm officially out of Almond Butter :( So Wednesday I'm going to get some more..I have been using the Maranatha Raw Almond butter for some time now. I think I may be ready to try a new kind. I'm not sure if they all taste the same or not? What is a good brand that you can recommend? Or a really good natural peanut butter? Thanks! Hope you all had a great Monday! I'm back to work in the am, but thankfully it's a shorter day :) xoxoxox

Happy Sunny Sunday

The weather here is so nice today! There is an awesome breeze that makes the heat so much more tolerable. Yesterday was almost 100 degrees out! No breeze either. It was pretty bad.
Thanks for the compliments on my hair! But..it is only temporary. I was in the salon with my friend the other day as she was getting her hair darkened, I wondered what i would look like with dark hair and the stylist said she could put a temporary dye in so I could see. If I didn't like it she could take it out right there. But I kinda liked it :) It will be fading in about 1 week. then back to blonde :)


I was up at 7am :( just could not sleep. I went for a 3 mile jog/run before the heat came out. I tried a new cereal for breakfast Nature's Path Spelt Flakes.

They were really good! They are sweetened with fruit juice and honey. Delicious! Shortly after that I made a huge green monster..lotsa organic spinach, soy milk, banana and some POM Juice :)

So yesterday I tried Pilates..I really really want to like Pilates, but every move involves your neck being off of the ground. My neck was sooo sore after that I had to put some heat on it. I must have very weak neck muscles. Is there any exercises that I can do to toughen up my neck muscles? I forgot to mention that I was doing Pilates for the core :)

Dinner tonight is going to be a mega salad that me and my friend are going to put together and some BBQ chicken breasts. I bought a few Clif bars yesterday and boy am I loving them :) so good! Off now to make lunch, I'm going to try a wrap like Heather from Health, Happiness and Hope because they always looks so delicious!!! xoxo

Gone dark

Well this afternoon I did it..I went dark




Please let me know what you think!!!

Philosophy

Good Morning! My headache is gone! yay! Unfortunately it was still there when I went to bed, but I woke up at 8am and it was gone. No work today, so I'm going to go for a jog/walk and then come back and do level 3 of the shred. I made turkey chili last night and it was so so good! I will definitely put the recipe up a little later. For dinner tonight I am making a HUGE salad. I'm going to add extra protein by grilling a chicken breast and putting it in.

Now In my other post about what makeup products I use, I was also asked about skincare, which i will tell you now what I use. I'm more into skincare and fragrance than I am makeup. I love bubble baths, body lotions and so on. My fave skincare line is and always has been Philosophy, which you can get a Sephora. Here's what I use.

Philosophy Purity Cleanser.

This is so gentle and also removes all makeup! It's in a fairly big bottle so it lasts quite awhile.

My fave moisturizer is Philosophy's Hope in A Jar

totally non greasy and makes my skin super soft
I'm addicted to Philosophy's bath line..especially their body washes..I have so many of them, these are 3 of my favorites though.

Vanilla Birthday Cake



Raspberry Sorbet


Coconut frosting



and lastly, my fave 2 perfumes are by Clean.I love these so much. I got a set for Christmas 2 years ago from my boyfriend and they have lasted me this long. I use them very sparingly.

Simply Soap
This smells like you just got out of the shower. A very clean, soapy smell. so pretty.

Warm Cotton
hmmm, the best way to describe this fragrance is the smell of cotton after you take it out of the dryer..like warm, clean clothes. Very fresh smelling. This one is my favorite!


So that's about it!!! Anythin else you want to know, just ask :) Off to jog/ walk. Will update later!! xoxxo
