A Smooth Operator

So we're only two weeks (ish) into session with a couple more to go. I'd like to say I've been taking really good care of myself and getting plenty of sleep.....yadda, yadda, yadda....not so much. It's hard, people. I have been trying to make sure I get a good breakfast in each day in the hopes of staying on track. By lunch the train gets a little swervy and by dinner I've completely fallen off the tracks. Oh, well. 

In case you're looking for a new breakfast idea I highly recommend trying my smoothie recipe. I think it tastes super yummy and it really is a great way to start the day. I don't normally like cold

things for breakfast in the winter,  but by freezing some of the ingredients as opposed to adding ice,  I think it's easier on my system and doesn't give me the chills. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cups Kale
1/2 cup frozen sweet potato
1/4 cup frozen banana
1 cup frozen cauliflower
Yogurt of choice (I use Siggis)
1/2 cup almond milk
1 scoop collagen peptides

A New WPA

I got the chance last week to get a sneak peek at the newly renovated WPA Bakery space in Church Hill. The staff worked tirelessly for almost two weeks to finish the transformations and I think they did a great job. Stop by when you can and support one of my favorite places on the hill.

It's Friday, Love

{ At least they let us smile this year }

A friend told me at the beginning of the week about a mediation app for my phone. I think I looked a bit stressed out. It looked so fun, super easy. Yeah! I will tackle this General Assembly session with calm and purpose! Ask me how many times I've used it this week. Yeah, not a one. I have scheduled 10 minutes to do it this weekend. Wish me luck. Mostly working this weekend but I'll meet ya back here Monday!

New Favorites

One of my favorite things to do is look back at the past year and pick my favorite photos. Sometimes I cry,  sometimes I laugh, sometimes I remember things that might have been forgotten had it not been for the fact that I had my camera at my side. I always smile. I always feel very lucky. Here's my favorite photos from 2016. Enjoy....
