Sweet Tooth Help!

Hey everyone!  How is your week so far?

Mine is going well.  The husband and I have been making it to the gym on a more regular basis with routines in hand :)  And I've been getting up before everyone else to ensure that I get my run completed.

This morning I got in a solid 3 miles and the sunrise was beautiful!!


The picture didn't need any editing, cropping or a lot of statistics to go with it.  Once I made it back home the morning was really just getting started & it's been a great day.

So, I have a major sweet tooth and love cakes, cookies, shakes, any ice cream really.  I always want/try to go for the healthy sweet option and not the sugar filled choice that is so easy and convenient.

So what are some of your favorite shake recipes?

I've got a couple for you to try out and if you are in need of a good shake that doesn't have a bad after taste or anything 'bad for you' in it - just shop here.

Almond Joy - add below to blender and blend
- IDLife Chocolate Shake Mix
- Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Finished Chalkboard

So I am delayed in getting this posted but the chalkboard was a huge success and the kids were thrilled!  They have played on it a lot and have even invited their friends over to color on the chalkboard with them. So after I applied the layers of chalkboard paint and let them dry, I took a piece of chalk and laid it on its side and "colored" the chalkboard with it.  You are doing this according to the directions to help prime the surface for use. After you color it and let it chill, you then take a damp rag and wipe it off.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Well, it is!  I was nervous about  it not working because I may have some how missed a step along the way...I even googled the directions just in case!! I also added a really cute and perfectly, imperfect burlap boarder to the chalkboard.  I had initially planned out creating a wood boarder for it and painting it to match the colors from the playroom pillows but ultimately decided against it...

Favorite Combo's

I have a couple of color combinations that I love together and was recently reminded of one that I don't wear all that often - beige, black, dark pink/fuchsia and blue/teal for an extra pop of color. I was a little lost on what I was going to wear to work the other day because nothing seemed appealing that was clean.  I had to literally force myself to just throw something on and when I did, I was in love!  And I love when that happens on those terrible mornings. Cardigan , Button-Up , Shoes , Skirt Here is an example of a similar outfit that I wore this week with the colors that I mentioned.  All items are similar to the brand and price point that I was at for all items purchased.  In addition to making a great outfit when put together, they also are wardrobe staples that can help you create many, many outfits with items already in your closet. I hope that y'all have a great weekend!

Summer Time Old Navy Favorites

Although it should be warm, humid and sunny in south Texas we are currently being drenched in rain for the millionth time.  The last few weeks have been full of rain showers and thunder storms.  Every once in a while the rain will disappear for the afternoon leaving a very muggy and humid afternoon behind.  Other days, the rain makes a lovely afternoon appearance and gets heavier into the evening. With that said, it is mid-May and summer is top of mind when I'm not dreaming of being home cuddled up on the couch with a cup of coffee (read....Starbucks mocha!) :) Here are a few items that I cannot wait to add to my rotation from Old Navy.  1. Hat 2. Sleeveless tank 3. Chiffon Tank 4. Cami Fit & Flare 5. Heeled Sandals
