Morning!!! Well, can you believe Humpday is upon us already? I feel like since the new year arrived the weeks have seriously been flying by! Last night while in class, I sipped on a grande cinnamon dolce latte to get me through hitting that energy wall.
Class was fine, it actually went by really fast for me. After class, I headed to my part time job to meet two customers that both stood me up…fantastic! This happens to me A LOT, people say they are going to meet me to drop off a deposit or to view the halls and never come. It is a little frustrating because I raced out of class, had to pack dinner the night before so I would be able to eat ect, and all or nothing. I actually only HAVE to be in the office one night a week to get paperwork done and sort through mail. The other nights of the week, I do a lot of work from home as it is all correspondence through phone and e-mail. But, most weeks I am there about 3 nights a showing the hall to people or meeting them to discuss details.
While waiting for the customers and responding to e-mails, I ate the dinner I had packed.
It was an Ezekiel tortilla with mustard, lettuce and turkey with a side salad that had tabouli, reduced fat feta, and tomatoes topped with Italian dressing.
After getting a few things done at my part-time job and realizing I was stood up, I headed to May’s to watch the Pregnancy Pact movie. The movie was just ok, I mean it was a Lifetime movie, so it wasn’t the greatest. The whole story is something that really interests me as someone in school to become a Guidance Counselor. I had a small handful of popcorn while watching it, but forgot to take a picture. I got home around 10:30 and could not keep my eyes open, so no blogging…sorry guys.
This morning, I woke up craving a breakfast burrito. This is becoming one of my new favorite to-go breakfasts since it is so fast, easy and yummy. To save time I added to liquid eggswhites to a bowl and microwaved it for 1 minute and 45 seconds. Perfect!
I added the eggs, some reduced fat cheddar, veggie sausage, hot salsa and spinach to an Ezekiel tortilla and had some coffee along with it. Great breakfast!
Have you guys noticed I am on a huge Ezekiel tortilla kick? My last two meals have included one and…SPOILER ALERT…so does my lunch!
I am also on a brown kick…weird.
For the past few days, I have been wearing brown. Brown and orange geometric dress (Forver 21), white cami (Forever 21), brown knee high riding boots (TJ Maxx), brown tights (Target).
Here is a close up of the geometric print. I am really into geometric prints, I love bright colors and really busy patterns.
I guess I am on stuck on a food and fashion kick with the Ezekiel tortillas and and brown outfits. And…let’s be honest I have been on a certain fitness kick since I loaded my very first Body Pump bar. Do you get on kicks were you are focused on one kind of food, one fashion trend, or one workout?

1. Self Love Tip of the Day: Lean on Your Friends: Are you the type of person that wants to do everything for yourself and can’t admit when you need help? ::points to self:: Swallowing your pride and asking friends and family for help and support can really make a difference; after all you would TOTALLY be there for them if they needed you right? This is something I am working on. I never ask for help when I really need it and am always convinced I can take on and juggle anything. I honestly believe I am Superwoman (and in some senses I am! What you didn’t know I could pass through solid objects? …kidding).
Sometimes, I can’t do everything myself and need to ask for help, but feel badly being a burden, so I don’t. I am going to try and make this a new goal.
2. I tried a new Shampoo and Conditioner this morning that I am in love with and thought I would share with you guys!
I have been using Organix brand shampoo and conditioner for a really long time. The other day when my usual Coconut Milk one was not available at the store I was at, I grabbed the Teatree Mint one instead. I used it for the first time and I looove it! First, I loved the smell. It smelt so clean and reminded me of a spa (always a good thing!). Second, it made my hair so soft and shiny, plus since it is a hydrating shampoo I have no static today! YAY! Just thought I would share!

I love the nice minty coolness the tea tree leaves on your scalp. FYI Trader Joes has tea tree shampoo and conditioner!!
I might have to try that shampoo! I’ve been using the Moroccon line and while my hair feels smoother, it’s left me with dry scalp?! no bueno
Where do you usually pick yours up?
Any drug store should carry it.
The Moroccon line is amazing, Ill second that!
And then I re read what you wrote about the dry scalp (sorry, cant read)… I use the Oil, that is amazing! haha
The weeks have been flying by!! It’s February next week!
