So good. I'm sharing my funky & fresh smoothie today!!  This post I have had coming for what feels like a really long time, but I think it has been only a week.  But, hey, I just get EXCITED to share stuff!! I wanted to make a smoothie like this, you know one that mixed two different flavors, and still looked good for some time after seeing so many of @earthyandy's posts.  I'd say that I was successful.  It was fun to have the variety of flavors and easy to make, and DELICIOUS!! Prepare for a bunch of photos...they just all look so good!  Keep scrolling for the recipe.  Also, if you want to shop the outfit all links are at the bottom of my page.  R E C I P E      - PINK 5 frozen strawberries 5 frozen pineapples (I added 6 frozen raspberries, but I wouldn't again) 1/2 banana tbs water 1/2 greek yogurt little bit of ice      - PURPLE 1/2 banana handful of...

You guys! I have been really wanting to share more style content, but I have not been shopping a lot lately so I didn't have much that I could link where to get it!  Struggles, because all the stuff I've been wearing has been super cute! I love sharing my favorite clothing finds.  It means I either have the item and love it.  Or I really want the item and can't get it at this time!  But it is on my wishlist, so feel free to send me a present! This topic of my favorite finds: clothes you can wear to easily transition from summer vibes to getting to the cozy and chilly days of fall Dress (#1 ):  Okay, this is one of my favorites finds I have found in a while!  I'm not always into a ton of floral prints, but I love this one!  It's so bright for the end of summer, but the colors are just right for fall.  I also really, and I mean really like the style of this dress.  It's simple and I love the subtle ruffle at the bottom.  This i...

I, like every other person "try to eat better" and keep a clean, well balanced diet.  Eating clean has been a whole lot easier because I am always filled and I'm getting all of the nutrients I need to power through the day.  I also just feel good.  I start my day off right, which sets the mood for the rest of the day!! Why eating healthy, hardy meals helps you? You're not constantly hungry.  Trust me.  We all know when we're hungry we quickly revert to one cookie or chip, then another, then maybe just one more.  Then you feel guilty.  Since eating oatmeal I have noticed I'm not trying to have a snack in between meals.  I have been getting filled! I recently found that one of the best, most filling foods I eat is oatmeal ! Believe me, I am a huge person on texture.   And one of the foods I always had an issue with I was oatmeal.  Since eating oatmeal with some fresh fruit, it's much better.  It's like a juicy, fresh flavorful ...

I am a BIG FRUIT LOVER.  I'll admit it.  But my two favorite fruits are strawberries and pineapple, which are the main flavor aside from the banana in this smoothie.  I realized I end up making either this smoothie or something like it almost three, maybe four times a week, that's a lot! Keep scrolling for the super easy recipe. Ok, I lied.  I think fresh, juicy pineapple pieces are the absolute best!!  For a good amount of time I had been looking for the perfect, ripe pieces but it took a whole lot of searching.  After a long time, I found that Safeway had the best pineapple.  Every once in a while I might get a "dud" package with less ripe pieces.  But, I mean, look at this picture!! Do you see the F R E S H pineapple?  Heck yeah baby!!   🙌   I can't always eat Greek yogurt, because it's either too bitter or too thick (I know some of you can relate, it's a texture thing!).  To let you know this post is not spon...

 Two words… Soul Cycle .  Yep,  just two.  A week or two ago I took a little leap of faith and signed myself up for a Soul Cycle class.  Let me tell you, I had been really wanting to take a class, but where I lived there aren’t many studios nearby.  With taking a trip to Dallas, where I knew they had a few studios close by so I immediately hopped on the site, signed up, and reserved myself a bike. Studio I went to …Preston Hollow, Dallas Instructor …Kevin Before I went I had all those excited, anxious vibes.  Excited to see what all the hype was about, ready to get started!   I met up with a friend, which made it a whole lot nicer, so a suggestion would be to find a friend who wants to try out a class or who has done it before. Funny story, I actually saw one of my favorite bloggers, Kate of Lonestar Southern in the class before mine. Setting up. I had another Soul instructor that helped set me up, she readjus...
