Mid-Week Margaritas
Hey there, hope everyone had a fantastic Wednesday! I tried some great products today, and I wanted to share the love. Voskos Greek Yogurt – Exotic Fig I’ve tried this once before and absolutely loved it, but it’s hard to find. I’ve seen the Voskos brand at many stores, but the Fig flavor in general … Continue reading »
And the Oscar goes to…
For those of you who may have been following, you know that at the beginning of the year I set out to see all 10 films nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards. Once the nominations were announced I got to work, and last night I finished off the list! Source I had … Continue reading »
I’m Bored
I recently received an email asking what I do to prevent workout boredom, especially on the treadmill or other gym machines. I was fortunate in that the small gym I belonged to was just bought out by LA Fitness. I was never big on going to larger gyms – they are always more expensive, they are … Continue reading »
Do Yourself a Favor…

Strawberry Velvet Cupcakes with Grand Marnier Cream Cheese Frosting
I’ve always wanted to make a Red Velvet cake from scratch. Really from scratch though, no food coloring to give it the red hue. Something about adding Beetroot juice just does not appeal to me though, so I started to think of what else I could add to give it a rosey tinge. My thoughts turned … Continue reading »
Blogiday
I hope everyone had a fantastic start to the week. I’ve been a bad blogger – I went another week without posting, and I haven’t been keeping up with reading some of my favorites either. Let’s rectify that, shall we? It helps when you have topics you are excited to blog about, and out of … Continue reading »
Big Weekend, Big Game
This past weekend was a busy one! I did some really fun stuff, but of course, the main event was Sunday. Can you guess which team I was rooting for? Steelers of course! They’re Eric’s favorite team (along with a pretty big group of friends of ours), so I kind of adopted them as my second … Continue reading »
