Yeah for my bestie coming in town from Illinois this week! I am so excited to see her.... spa weekend here we come! I just got an invite today for a happpy hour at the Spaldings (a family I have grown up with who now lives in Lee's Summit... kinda crazy) on Friday so as of right now that is all we have planned. I think Crissie coming in town calls for a new dress... what do u think!?!?!

Super Cutsie... just feel like I need white wedges to wear with it and I donated my white wedges to Goodwill!  Also loving these...

Plus I need new dresses for vacation!!! Next stop... NYC... Hamptons and Long Island beach! <3ing summa time!

Tie Hem

I need these type of shirts in my life... Where can I find cute ones???

It is almost summer time and I can't wait! I am going to spend time with my bestie from Illinois this weekend for memorial day and get my BEBE back! Looking forward to a 4 day weekend and sunning my buns! I have decided to go on my family float trip over the 4th this year... which it has been years since I have gone but its time to see everyone again. I was really sad last year when I wasn't with them. Now lets just hope I get off work! I am not a camping type of girl so this is going to be rough... but I figure a couple cocktails and everything will be alright. So I have caught myself three times this week talking about my bucket list.... and once again today it came up in conversation. I am not going to add everything at once to my list but I want to share!

BUCKET LIST
1. See a crocodile in the wild

I'm sure once I move away from this state it won't be hard... yes sorry guys do not plan on living here much longer... a year or less is all I have left in me for life in KC.

Well I am stuck working Sunday this week since I am taking a 4 day weekend.... so I'm going to  be real productive today and work on my grocery list and camping list! Does everyone get excited when they go grocery shopping or camping shopping or is it just me??? Guess you can officially say I have a shopping problem... what's new....

***VRRRROOOMMMMM*

That title describes my energy level today!!! :) I have switched my vitamins to Iron supplements and Hair, Skin & Nails vitties and I seriously feel like I could stay awake for days! I'm sure my two cups of coffee this AM do not help, but I seriously worked out until midnight last night and was awake until 3 AM last night. I woke up at 7:30 today and have more energy than ever! I NEED TO GO RUN! Seriously debating this Hospital Hills half marathon... I think I need someone to run with me.... not that I can't run alone but A) It's more fun beating someone ya know B) I need motivation to train hills! I HATE really dislike hills... especially with having this cast on even though it affected my running schedule the first couple weeks, I can now say that me and Mr. Cast have became quite besties. I like matching my clothes to her!!!! Well wrist is in pain from typing even though I have so much more to say! .... like my memorial day plans!!! but I will save those for another day! *Bye Bye For Now Loves*

I gotttaaaa shopping problem

Yes. Buy Now. Click. Life wouldn't be complete without...

Totally #obSeSSed

I will have these in every color before
summer.... Loveeee JCrew clothes for this summer.... P.s. 1 more *week* N my cast is Offies!! YeaHyyy

Need I say more

Never to old

Well vacation has officially started for me I have the next 11 days to do whatever I want! If only my pool was open already... No questions asked if be there until Wed when we leave for SoBe. I haven't been out of town since going to Dallas in December (I don't call Dallas a vacation though) so this is much much overdue!!! I'm not sure if I have ever been more ready to be on the beach than I am now... I have already started packing! It's always fun to go through last years summer clothes though who knew I bought 12 swimsuits last year? That's more times than I even went swimming!! I was ready to order a new one but luckily I have a little more sense this year and will just wear what I bought last year in that department!! I even realized that I have kept some clothes long enough they are back in style!!! Yeahyyy babiii for my green Mini skirt I bought several years ago in CoMo that still fits. I was planning on going shopping this weekend but really I can't even think of one thing I need ... ( ok maybe a nice pair of white jeans and a pair of Tory Burch wedges) but what I was most excited about digging out of my dresser ( which by the way I am going to refinish this weekend... I need ideas on what color to paint please!!) was a ripped up pair of Abercrombie shorts. I don't care how old I get or how uncool Abercrombie is these days I will never get rid of these babies. They are my FAV pool/boating/beach/Vegas shorts and even though they have outgrown me I will never be to old for a good pair of Abercrombie jean shorts..

New ShoeZieZzz

How stinKin cuTsie are these ? I *LOVES* I am SO ready to go Birthday shopping this weekend.... I need white jeans for the Heat game and an Easter dress! Hummm do you ever get to old to buy an Easter dress?! I think NOT

Key Largo Montago....

Next wEeek Yooo I will be toes in sand in the Florida Keys... yes yes be jelly...

... *N* love

Favorite isle ...

Hum whaaa

Hummus!! One of my all time favorite foods (right behind asparagus okra and zucchini... Yes I need my own garden) I'm obsessed with casadias and pitas filled with veggies! My fav recipe whole grain or multi grain tortilla shell spread hummus and organic cheese on 1 side and fill with veggies of choice. You can pretty much use any veggies you have but I usually have onions, green peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes on deck so that is what I used :) trader joes has the BEST layered hummus dip might I add...

Slime

After countless hours of insomnia last night I was still able to make it to the gym this AM and put in a 5 mile run on the treadmill (sucky suck)... 15 on stair master and do a combination of different weight exercises. I feel great and even though it's suppose to rain today I can tell today's gonna be an good awesome day... So back to the insomnia story, as I am watching Jay Leno he makes a joke about the meat industry using slime as a filler... Ohhhh dear lord!!!! And people ask me WHY I do not eat meat, because you randomly hear things like that. Processed meat grosses me out more than anything. Don't get me wrong I do not always eat like an angel, if I see Archer Farms Strawberry Shortcake ice cream it better run for dear life... Because it will be short lived. :) I have decided to post some of my favorite meals on here not because you care what I eat but because so many people do not know what or how to eat the right things. No I am not a rocket scientist but I have done a lot of research to know how to live a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. I am very excited to share some of my favorite delish meals :)

First off is my favorite breakfast which is Greek yogurt and chia seeds!

I put chia seeds in everything, oatmeal yogurt, cereal pretty much anything you want. They are a wonderful source of Omega 3 and provide lots of energy. I actually take my chia seeds and put then in my magic bullet so they are not whole, which helps make them easier to digest and provides more nutrients to enter your body. I highly suggest adding them to your daily diet and please believe you cannot even taste!

*The List*

Always soon enough, it is time for another Birthday! Unfortunately most of the items on my list I will be buying myself but here are a few of my loves that I need could use this year for ma BiRthDaY.. umm Item #1

Always in need of a new iPad case... B has ate 2 in the past 2 months... No bueno! I have found the cutest ones at Nordstrom so new case is on this springs MUST HAVE list.

I am white and sexy

And I am an iPhone:) yeay for getting a new iPhone today I really couldn't stand the 5 (at minimum) android phones I had and this will sync automatically with my iPad. So happy! My little fingers can text again.

Besides that I had a great 4 day weekend. Went to STL and went out with my girls and dropped B off in Hannibal so my parents can watch him while I lounge in the Florida Keys next week. Will post pics soon :)

iPhone xoxo

Guess who is getting a new white iPhone?? :) Yesssss I batted my eyelashes and stuck out my little bottom lip long enough that my manager let me order one today *raising the roof* :) many more blogs to come as soon as I have my iphone4!!

*SuMMeR TiME*

How about 70 degree weather today!?!? WOO HOO Couldn't of asked for a better 4 day weekend to relax and speed time with the boo thing(s). I had a couple decent work outs, went out Thursday night after Drake concert, and also went to Martini Corner Saturday which lead to delicious brunch on the plaza Sunday morning! If you have never eaten at Coral Vines, it is delicious! And even better when you have a groupon and even better when someone surprises you with the groupon!

Even though I clearly know that it is not summer time, I am so pumped! Not only can I go run without freezing my wittle limbs off, farmers market will be opening and I can once again can take Bentley Boo on walks and buy the most delicious foods right in my own neighborhood. The thought of okrah and zuchinni makes my mouth water.... I am totally motivated right now to get in shape and have been doing an amazingly good job eating healthy... (Ponchos Sat night at 3 am counts right... there was lettace on my vegetarian bean buritto so hush) I think I worked it off with a 6 mile run and hour of weights yesterday followed by a day at the dog park... Bentley LOVES the dog park..... and he made a new friend who just moved here from St. Louie named Blazer.... what cuties! :) (sorry hard to take pics of dogs... best I could do was the hinny)

I am looking for more blogs about healthy eating... one of my favorite is http://thediva-dish.com/ but I want some new recipes. I have made several recipes off of her site and they are all SO good! I know there has to be other good easy reciepe blogs out there as well... please share your favorites!

Bizzzzzy Beee

Lately I have been so busy! This has been a great week, not only have my work outs been on point, it was valentines day!!! I had the best valentine ever.... Words cannot describe how sweet the evening was ;) I felt loved and spoiled. I would share pics but I suck at taking pics when it is the most special times. I feel so boring right now so I haven't blogged much lately. My week consist of gym, work, eating, puppy play time, vday festivities, and church twice. It's amazing how much therapy I find in attending church. It has made my entire week better just by feeling closer to God. I'm so excited for the upcoming months.... I think some big changes are going to happen... To be continued ;)

I'm Dreaming of a White..... sandy beach!!!!

Holy snow! Who knew that we would wake up today with a blanket of cold white fluffy stuff on the ground? Guess I need to start watching the local new because it was a total surprise to me. I always turn the TV on 1st thing in the AM to look at the temp since I have to take the fluffy muffy out a.k.a. Bentley Boo but this morning I laid in bed for an extra long time because my motivation juices were not pumping this morning when in my half sleep half awake state I hear the news people on TV talking about how bad the roads were... that can never be a positive reason to come out from under my amazing flannel sheets. But after B licked my face and I threw him off of my head about 3 times I finally was awake enough to realize that he probably had to pee super bad and if I didn't take him out it would be on my rug at the front door and I really didn't want to do any extra laundry today.

One of my resalution for this year was to keep my blog up and I am going myself a C+ on this... I need to start doing better!! After having dinner this weekend at BRGR I have been craving garlic cilantro fries!!! I found this recipe online today and cannot wait to try it tomorrow! The best thing is, I already had everything at home so don't even have to make a trip to the grocery store. Still trying to figure out what else to have since I am in charge of lunch for the boo tomorrow (Valentines Day) Since its up to me, lunch will consist of home made black bean patties and this delish garlic cilantro fry recipe that I found on food gawker today  

Ingredients (2-3 servings)

•5-6 yukon gold potatoes, cut into thin fries

•2 Tbsp olive oil

•1/4 – 1/2 tsp garlic powder

•1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt

•pepper

•1/4 c. loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and get a baking sheet with rack ready (if no rack, just line with foil/parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Cut the potatoes into fries and place in a bowl of cold water to soak for a few minutes.

Drain the water and dry the fries with paper towel. Once dry, toss the fries with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Lay on a baking sheet in a single layer, preferably one that has a cooking rack so the fries can have the air circulating all around them (and no need to flip.) Bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven and how crispy you like your fries. If using a baking sheet without a rack, halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries.

Once done, toss fries with cilantro in a bowl.

EnJoY with a big bowl of ketchup! (FYI I love ketchup)

I will let you know how they turn out... but not tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be busy with my Valentine ;) :) =) *<3*

CoLoR RuN

I am also really excited about this run I just found on Pinterest...

(Click on pic for link)

What could be more fun than a Color Run!? Right now I can't think of much... (Okay, maybe I could think of a couple things but you know me and you know I LOVE TO RUN) Anyways, signing up today for the Color Run even though its only a 5K I can't wait to be painted in a rainbow of colors as I run.  Still looking for a good 10K and maybe a half marathon in the near future.... any ideas? Something fun!!! Let's go run!

Breakfast time

Delicious healthy oatmeal recipe! Thanks to http://thediva-dish.com (love this girls blog) If you like coconut like I do you'll love this!!! First go buy everything you need...

All natural organic coconut, coconut butter, chopped peacons, peanut butter, oats, & bananas. I used abouts a tlbs of coconut butter and peanut butter and about 2 tlbs of coconut

This stuff is the ISH... not sure what else I can put it on yet but I will have more ideas very very soon

So first step is to make the oats... then mash your nanner up in the oats and let them sit for about 2-3 min and stir

Little Rascle

HGTV

Is it just more or does anyone else believe that they are winning HGTV's Dream home!? Well sorry if ya do, but I think its my year!!! I have only entered the drawing every year for the past 5 years but this year I'm feeling extra lucky! :) 2011 was not such a great year but I am confident that 2012 will go my way.

Don't be jelly :)

Many people always ask me about my work outs what I do to stay in shape etc etc.... so today I will share!

 I LOVE running. If you do not know this, you do not know me! I am currently looking for a good half marathon to run this year. I'm ready and I'm motivated! Yeay!! Anyways, even though I only had an hour and 1/2 to work out today, I did make it to the gym super duper early before work and did a 5 mile run on the tredmil followed by 15 min on the stair master... It felt great!!! Just to share a peice of personal information I have a slight case of OCD when running on a tredmill. I HAVE to run in 3 min inturvals and then change the pace every 3 min to switch it up. I start out jogging and every 3 min increase my speed. I have gotten a little better where sometimes I can change speed every 6 min, but either way it has to be a multiple of 3. Okay okay I'm silly! But I have been this way for as long as I can remember cold winters! So, after about an hour of cardio then I only had 30 min left for abs and legs.... so after a few sets of squats and lunges and planks and sit ups I was out the door and on my way to work! Quick but decent I suppose. Well if anyone wants to run a half together let me know :) I'm down!

No no's

Do not search pintrest food section when you are on a raw food cleanse... going ga ga over everything over here.

Duce

Okay so today is day 2 of extreamely eating healthy. I am getting very tired of carrots, strawberries, banananas and oranges! Today I am craving a veggie burger. I found this amazing looking recipe on Whole Foods web site. The plan is to make it on Sunday. Sunday is my dieting day off... so if it is my off day and the worst thing I eat is a homemade veggie burger, I will not be doing to bad! (wishful thinking... strawberry cheesecake icecream might be on the desert menu)

Ingredients

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 cup cooked no-salt-added black beans

1/4 cup diced tomato

1/4 cup diced roasted red bell peppers

1/4 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon no-salt-added chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

3 green onions, finely chopped

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce

Yes I am super excited about this.... I can hardly contain myself!!

 

So, since this is "all about food" today... does anyone have any ideas for superbowl party recipes? Something semi healthy would be nice.... I am thinking guacamole or something along those lines. Please share your recipes with me :)

Day Onzies

I know I keep talking about this but the weather is just amazing!! For the most part I have been able to run outside every day except for MAYBE a hand full all winter long... how spoiled am I this winter!?!? I suppose we all deserve this after the last years horrific winter.... I would imagine that within the next week or so it would get cold but NOPE the weather man said it will be 60 degrees next week! WoWseRS ;) :) =)

Okay so today is DAY ONZIES of my raw food cleanse. SO FAR SO GOOD! I do not want to be one of those people that post everything they eat but I do want to share an idea of what I have been eating so far (Okay okay I know its 10:00 AM I have only been up for 2 hours call me a pig if you'd like) I made a delicious smoothie for breakfast.

5 strawberries
freshly squeezed orange
water
ice
unsweetened all natural shredded coconut
flax seed

which looked like this....

Don't be jelly

Now day onzies without coffee.... so far so good.... I would not recommend approaching me this afternoon though. I have substituted hot water and fresh lemon so sip on instead.... not quite the same energy boost as I am used to but at least the hot water keeps my naturally ice cold body a little warmer than no coffee would. Also I have snacked on raw sunflower seeds and carrot sticks.... never thought I would be craving hummus but when I looked at the carrot sticks all I wanted was to open the tub of hummus in my fridge and dig in! And it didn't help much that the boyf purchased my FAVORITE organic black bean chips last night that were openly and invitingly sitting on my counter this AM. Other than that... I have not been tempted but I think that starting this and having absolutely no food in my house to begin with is the key to success. Can't be tempted if it's not in sight ;)

*RaW*

So I have decided to try a raw food cleanse.... my mom is doing it and I have read a little bit about it online now and I think that I am going to try it. According to what I have read, the cleanse can last a few as 3 days or as many as 40. My goal is 1 week! Since I am a vegetarian and have been for going on 5 years I do not think this will be to difficult. What is going to hurt me the most is no coffee!!!! If I make it 3 days honestly I will be happy :) Black coffee is my guilty pleasure! Tomorrow I am going to make a trip to Whole Foods and this is my grocery list

Bananas


Organges

Strawberries

Tomatoes

Lettace

Cucumber

Peppers

Onion

Garlic

Almonds

Sprouts

Lemon

I think I am going to make homemade salad dressing with olive oil, vinegar, fresh spices and lemon.
 
Wish me luck! :)

Where in the heck did the mild winter go!? This coldness sucks.. running on the treadmill until further notice! On a warmer note we are all booked up for Sobe Birthday celebration! April cannot come soon enough. This week has not been very exciting so I thought I would share this pic today since its me to the tee!

LONG HAIR Dont CARE

My new weave.... Loves it even though I feel like a blonde bombshell I'm waiting a few days before I ombre it. 400 extensions and 5 hours later I had no patience to stay to get it colored.....and this is why I dread the salon more than the dentist. Patience is a virtue.

SoBe iT

Booking hotel and flight today for Birthday travels :) Our telly room is too cutsie XciTed

Hair Did

What a great weekend! :) Can't believe that it is the middle of Jan and I am still running outside ALMOST every day! Looking forward to getting off work and going on a nice long run outside! Even though its suppose to be about 45 this evening, I do not mind at all. Well I will say girls night was successful... although on my way to Hulihans I did get pulled over and got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign... Thanks ma'am (yes I had a lady officer) but after that feasca we did pay $50 for a cab ride home to Lee's Summit but much better than getting pulled over after being out! So tomorrow I am getting my hair done. I'm VERY nervous. I have a lot of anxiety about this and hope it turns out well. I think I hate getting my hair done just about as much as I HATE going to the dentist. I am trying something extreamly different this time. Not only am I getting extensionis put in my hair, I am going to ombre it. Hopefully this turns out as expected. Pictures to come tomorrow :) Still deciding how dark I want to go with it... what do you think about the looks I am deciding on?

2012

Well 2012 has been a rocky start! I am keeping a positive outlook though, since it is just the beginning of the year/month. I don't think the snow helps much... wish we would of gotten dumped on and the grass coved if it is going to snow at all! This time of year always reminds me of how I need to live in Miami... what am I doing here? Everything happens for a reason though.... I am looking forward to Spring and traveling that is for sure! Can't wait to visit my bestie in NYC and also SOBE for my Birthday :)... on the other hand... I have been trying to order these boots for two weeks now and every time it says they have my size in (I wear a 6 1/2 just incase your feelin generous!) and I try to order them... no bueno... they really DO NOT have my size! Well... my goal for the next few days is to get my life in order and make some big girl decisions and plans for my future! I have a fifth of Circo and Cake vodka to help in the process so time to do some major thinking :) I think I need to buy something to make my weekend better though and since I can't seem to get these boots ordered I think its gonna be an Iphone 4s instead... well girls night tonight and enjoying the supposivly 56 degree weather tomorrow! Sounds like a good weekend plan to me.
