long but good

Hey guys I feel so far from the blog community since i d not post as much as i want to let me explain/vent ...
Everyday i get on blogger to do a post but then
a band members GF/ (friend-plant) comes over and i HAVE to of course be nice and accommodate her. I just feel so awkward because i know she just talks about me when it is over and she does not talk to me unless it is gossip. I really don't know why i am posting my vent it just irritates me, because i love my "me" time where i can read blogs, write a blog, do yoga. I have learned to enjoy my company since all the girls in my city are drama fanatics, and have become more independent. 
These interruptions have shown me that i have changed since last year for the better. All you girls are the sweetest nicest girls i have ever "met" before. I love all the support you give each other so sorry for not commenting or such recently but i have been lurking your blogs and when i get the chance i plan on getting to know you all better. 
Thanks for letting me vent! haha now on the food....

Yoga
I have still been doing yoga almost everyday for at least 30min , mostly hour videos. I have a funny yoga story for your enjoyment
  • I do yoga at Zoe's now while he has band practice, and one day I was doing a yogatoday.com video and he decides to set the mood for yoga and lights up a couple birthday candled on a Styrofoam plate. it was a cute/sweet idea but while i am in downward dog i smell the candles More powerfully and i look up and see a small fire on the plate! i blew it out but it was defiantly growing. After it was out i started laughing and cleaned up the little mess on the table. here is a pic of the poor Styrofoam plate

  • Man o man if you have not tried yoga yet go to yogatoday.com and try their free yoga class now! they begging seems slow, but it is just to get you into a breathing pattern then it will move faster into poses and give you enough time to stretch and get stronger.
  • Saturday i am going with my friend to a HOT yoga class which is exciting for me since i have never been.
FOOD:
 I have just been munching on fruit and whole wheat bread and smoothies recently since I do not want to buy my own groceries anymore since i do not have a job. But my eats have been very yummy to me, but not great to show everything in a food blog. 

But i have found a very yummy bread/bagel i like

Nutritional info: calories 240, fat 20. Fiber-7g! Protein 10g! sugar 7g. calcium/iron 10%. Thiamin/niacin 15%.

My review: def more bready then bagley if that makes since. But it it very yummy and made from all ingredients i know! I do not think these were fried at all since it does not have that harder/carby outside that regular bagels have. Overall you are prob better off buying whole wheat bread. But def worth it if buying on sale. I liked it and prob will buy it again if i get a bagel feeling.





This morning was a brekkie cookie made last night and heated for 30 sec this morn.
WOW heating it up a little makes  a HUGE difference! I thought they were already yummy but after microwaving it gets a gooey cookie texture bc if the peanut butter and oatmeal. FANTASTIC! 

  • 1/3 cup Oats
  • lil over 1/3 cup of a milk water mix
  • sprinkle of splenda...sue me ;)
  • less then a 1/4 of chopped dried fruit mix
  • scoop of naturally more pb (sooo good in the cookie)
  • 1/2 scoop of protein mix( i didn't want it too protein powder tasting)
  • In the morn topped it with a sprinkle of granola
  • side of jam

some melon on the side :)

Lunch will be a green monster since i just finished an hour of yoga. yumm got to get spinach now though. Dinner will be a bagel with tuna/egg/or something

Life:
Since zoe's friend is off tour for 2months we have been hanging with him a lot which is always fun. Last night we went to see G force in 3-D! (yes you read that correctly) It would of sucked if not in 3-D but it was awesome s=because of it. It actually looked like things were flying toward us. Pretty awesome and there was also car crashes and car stunts in a kid movie with gerbils talking? odd but funny.
But also since we are hanging out and out all the time now(not complaining about having things to do) I have to plan my meals more and that is why I already know what i am eating through out the day basically since i pack everything before i head over to zoes.  As long as i get my hour of yoga in i am a happy camper.
I hope all you girls are having a great summer! 

Question:
In th morning and during the day when i stand up i get dizzy/light headed and sometime it goes black for like ten seconds. it is not not ALL the time but def enough to notice.does this happen to you? why does this happen, how can i stop it?

short and yummy

Summer = Busy bee

Hey everyone hope everyone had a FANTASTIC weekend!
This weekend i went to warp tour which is scene/punk music (i like pop/rock music, not so much punk and hard core) but it was a lot of fun to see people mosh pit. It was actually hilarious! Then The Maine came on last and i danced like no one was watching. pretty awesome.haha.

Some eats?

Salmon wrap with spinach,salsa, motz cheese 


Most people have oats in their remainder of PB but i have a fruit bowl
  • mango
  • banana
  • peach
  • 1 strawberry

yummm
  •  peanut butter English muffin
  • pecan
  • banana


  • english muffin with Jam
  • egg whites with a veggie patty
besides the everyday green monster.... (sooooooo good make one NOW)

Pamper trick?
Has to included the blogs favorite food item, EVERYONE has!

Soothing and anti-inflammatory, oatmeal contains beta glucan, a soluble fiber that creates a thin, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the skin

. Place a handful of whole oats in a clean washcloth and use a rubber band to secure it. Next, immerse it in a sink full of warm water and squeeze the bag four or five times. Once the water is cloudy, splash it on your face and then air-dry. (If you must towel dry, pat as gently as possible.)

Hey guys ooops it is 4 days later! but i have just been very very busy.
  • The minor photo shoot: the band my boy is in had their photo shoot Saturday, and it started POURING so he had to do it at one of the band members house which i happened to be at. all the pictures are AWESOME quality when they edit them I'll send you a link of their myspace. Then me and the boy got a couple pictures together because the photos were excellent quality. Plus they got it all done for FREE! The photographer is building up her book to go to warp tour next year.
  • Sat the boys also did a little acoustic set at Dillard's (my dad is the manager) so now every Saturday they are going to do a little set, and this way they can make more fans,and will have a place to preform
  • Sat,Sun nights have been partying which means staying up late and waking up late! sad news is i haven't had time to do yoga in 3 days,  i miss it super much(did it this morning) My friend's 21 bday happened so we had to celebrate! haha
  • Do you guys know the band HEY MONDAY? the rhythm guitarist is Zoey's best friend since elementary school. They had a show last night in ft lauderdale so we went to go see them. They did such an AWESOME job! It was so cool to watch them bc this has been all their dreams to be in a famous band, everyone was singing their songs, wanting their autographs, wanting to touch their arm! I could feel the energy so i just started dancing, haha the rest of my group didn't dance, but i LOVE dancing so me and zoe dance.


WHERES THE FOOD???
I haven't taken much photos so i will just start with my brekkie:
i have been eating green monsters every morning which i love love. but i am all out of protein AND spinach! So this morning i had a shmorishborg

I am gong to sell it on ebay or craigslist if none of you girls are interested, honestly no pressure because i know it is expensive. The reason why i am selling it is because for college so i am not hounding my parents for money,also i know a lot of girls LOVE Louis Vuitton so if you want it
 i am selling it for $830, i have not used this bag the only thing with it is that the gold plate has a scratch(the person that gave it to me got it for sale bc of this) The price of the bag is usually priced at $1330! so i am cutting it $500.
The website says: abbesses (the name if the bag)
"Abbesses features three interior pockets. This large city bag can be used as a discreet attaché case and slips easily onto the Pégase suitcase.

Size: 14.1" x 10.6" x 3.9"

rambles and cramming

so i am just going to jump in to what you missed...

Sat
Zoey and his band "the minor" played at this bar call ( brace yourself for the name) swamp grass willy's. There was 4 bands playing and they went up first bc one band ran out of gas coming up to the show. I brought my camera and i seriously looked like a proud mom. i could not stop smiling bc they were doing so good, and he looked so happy to be up there. It was awesome. After the show we went over to one of the band member's house and partied till 3! i am never up that ate haha I'm usually a grandma, but i was having so much fun that i didnt listen to my tiredness.
My boy is on the drums.
Dont mind the people who rudly walked and stood in front of me. haha

Sunday was just getting ready for Mon and Tues orientation down in Miami. I had to wake up at 5AM i ate brekkie before i went

Green monster
  • banana
  • myoplex chocolate milk protein drink
  • lots of spinach
  • coconut
  • couple dates
  • lil whole food vanilla protein powder
  • scoop of DCD pb
Once there i munched on a maple cliff bar.
REVIEW: it was ehhh got some sugared pecans but not much and the maple didn't really stick out for me, plus i was still grumbling after his...o well

Lunch was included in the orientation, i had an Einstein wrap, roasted veggie. It had mayo in it! I hate mayo, i really wish they would of told me what was in it o well i ate it bc dinner wasn't going to be for a long time

after a while i went into my stash and took out my next bar... macadamia and apricot fruit and nut bar. this is very good but expensive usually i bought one on sale.

Dinner was in the campus cafeteria, i was excited to see it bc that is what i will be eating while im on my stay. and thank goodness they are vegan/vegetarian options, they do not cook with trans oil, they have the nutritional info for food they make, a huge salad bar with veggies like baby corn! they have soups, and fro yo!!!!!! yummmm
I decided on a huge salad and a fruit cup.

Tues
picking out classes sucked! i spent a good 2-3 hours finding a good schedule. Man to have a nutrition degree it is A LOT of hard classes i was told that the hardest science classes i have to take to get the degree. If i find it too hard i also have a plan B which is personal relations to be an event planner. I think that would be a lot of fun to plan weddings and parties.

Brekkie
at the school was fruit,biscuit w honey and coffee.

QUESTION : What do you think about sororities? I hate ALL drama and i make sure i am not in any ever, but is that in sororities a lot? i didn't want to join one before orientation but after orientation they made it seem totally diff then i thought. were any of you girls in one? did you like it?

Also i may be doing a scholarship pageant called Ms.fiu. I'm am not sure but i would love to win a scholarship to get out of having this loan. yuck Talent i am not sure yet i have a few tricks up my sleeve. it is not until February but i want to do it for the heck of it! you know what i mean? this was i can make oodles of friends and get involved.

Today:
this morning i enjoyed a egg in the hole with a scoop of polenta my mom made last night. I loved the toast but the polenta was too heavy in my tummy. i have to remember that for next time.

Then i made lemonade magic bullet slushy. This was also not a good idea all that acid or what not in the lemon made my tummy feel bad. Does lemonade do that to you?

Lunch couldn't be something heavy since the lemonade was still with me.so i made a
green monster

  • ice
  • vanilla protein powder
  • 3 dates
  • lots of spinach
  • Cinnamon (sooo good)
  • peach
  • 3/4 banana
  • coconut for chew
  • almond milk
along side i had myself a huge scoop of fluff, i needed something sweet and it def squished the craving.

Other food pics i found that i must have eaten recently...

I will get back to my regular tomorrow, cramming a lot in to one post does not do justice. I miss blogging

The boy wants to see bruno today, but we will see what happens. This summer i have been just chillen going with the flow.

Pamper with me




Hello everyone!

soooo sorry i haven't been able to post i have been so busy in fact today i am actually at an orientation at FIU in Miami, so hopefully the timer post works!
when i get back full report on bruno (dont go! haha) and boys band performance!
 Today i want to show you girls 2 EZPZ (haha sorry i had to) recipes for your skin!
*you might be tempted to eat these but don't! haha*

EZPZ Skin glowing/cleansing Mask
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp finely ground almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Mix them all together, rub on wet face gently and then rinse it off with warm water. After i suggest using a toner since your pores will be slightly opened to clean it out ( i use witch hazel, cheap and simple) then your moisturizer of choice to close everything up. 

EZPZ SUMMER SCRUB

  • 1 Peach, super duper ripe.
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Peel peach and mash it up into a goop, mix all ingredients together. On wet skin massage/scrub the mix onto skin. Do not let it come off right away. remember you are pampering yourself, this should not be rushed massage untill you do not want to massage anymore. Rise it off. 

Have fun with these girls, i always have fun using things in my kitchen for my pampering days because i know it has no harsh chemicals and if i can swallow them then they should be perfect for my skin.

OPTIONAL: give your self a lil time to do this podcast runs 21:21 but yga for about 17min. Try it out even if you have never done yoga, you can stop anytime you want. Also i think medatative yoga on pampering days make one calm and feel energized. 



Have a great day girls! hope you enjoyed it!

T-Rex was supposed to be extinct for a reason


Hello everyone!
Sorry i did not post yesterday, i went up to Orlando at 12 and did not get back till almost 2 in the morning! ekkk needless to say i went straight to bed. I went up to orlando with my dad and two sisters(both younger)

(this is grace)
 to see my dads brothers (who look like sets of twins). It was funny they all are very loud, its a gene i guess that runs in the family, and they all talk to random bartenders,waitresses, random people on the Disney shuttle train. Again something i found that runs in the hoskens gene.

brekkie that morning + 35min of yoga with the little one you in above
i had this amazing bowl of oatmeal/oat bran(ran out of oat bran!!!!)

  • 1/3 cup of what i had left of oat bran and oatmeal to top it off
  • 2/3 almond milk, 1/3 water
  • 5 m&m for the fun of it
  • 3 chopped dates
  • 5 dried cherries 
  • spoonful of choco chip cookie dough PB
  • lil bit of DCD PB 
Right before we left i made an 
Anti oxidant drink

  • Borba Pink clarifying packet(met this guy once at my dads store and he hooked me up) 
  • handful of blueberries
  • Sprinkle of coconut
  • handful of ice
  • cup and 1/2 of water
Along the way i had a cup of kashi 7grain cereal,peach,handful of blueberries

Lunchish: crab cake and some Asian noodles- it was a n appetizer for a snack before we went to eat (this was at 4)
 
 We went to TREX restaurant at downtown Disney
facts about this place
  • Very cool decor dinos that move all around you, it looks like you are in Jurassic park (this may be the only plus side i had for them)

  • Everything has at least one of the following; a pound of meat, fried, load of butter
  • VERY expensive at least 20 dollars if you are getting a salad(no meat) and drink 
  • not that great of food unless you like fried and butter
  • VERY crowded- got there at 6:30 didn't eat till 9:30! haha o man 
Now what did i eat?
I devoured the french onion soup and i did ask for a side of steamed veggies but got over cooked veggies IN a cup of butter. The waitress told me they couldn't make them special??? I was def a grumpy girl, when i am hungry and there is no options for me i will get emotional.

OK no fast forward.........bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzIP (fast forward noise obviously

TODAY

Woke up late so i had this veggie pocket with a piece of RAW cheddar cheese and a spoon of cottage cheese , I Also 2 dates with a lil of PB for the heck of it.

Review: This was pretty good it had bell pepper,broccoli, beans, marinara sauce and some other veggies. I enjoyed this a lot the inside was like a micro cal zone but the bread was amazing! i love gooey, doughy, soggyish pizza dough so i took ALL the inside out and ate the veggies then the bread as my dessert.haha

I went over to zoes to hang out but got a call from FIU saying i didn't accept my scholarships!!! what the heck, so after a couple hours of my heart at my stomach and freakishly typing emails i got it all fixed!! yayay. My hunger was gone after that,I found out when i stress out i just do not eat because i am not hungry when I'm stressed. I had to go to the mall(near whole foods of course) and so i picked up an energy bar for my orientation on mon and tues, and got some "tasters" at whole foods
  • a fig
  • taste of this tonic stuff(blarggg)
  • Tofu honey sesame stick
Once i got back o zoeys i made this....dun dun da dun da( some tune for an excited suspense)

GREEN MONSTER!!!!
  • 2 HUGE handful of spinach
  • 1 kiwi
  • 1/2 peach
  • 2 blocks of honey dew
  • 1/3 of banana
  • 1 scoop of protein powder(whole foods vanilla brand)
  • 2  chopped dates for chew
  • lil spoon of naturally more pb
This was amazing i decided i ADORE my fruit smoothies, so i do not need to get rid of them i just need to add spinach and that is what i did. I could not taste any spinach at all!
Now off to hang with the boy, ta ta for now

shopaholic addict


Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday morn-afternoon was just me,myself,and I. I watched confessions of a shopaholic, and let me tell you that is one of my fav movies now! i do not know why but i was laughing out loud through out the movie. Go rent this if you like girly movie now! I felt so good and relaxed after me time. After pampering i hung out wit the boy and just chilled like usual, i got him to do a couple min of yoga and then he went to play drums,haha it isn't his cup of tea. so i just did an extra 20min that day and felt even better. then watched bachelorette  and here comes the newlyweds(love this, and my fav couple won so is going to the finally). Sorry for the lack of food pics it was pamper day! next time ill make sure to post pics.

I got a lot of comments saying how they have not pampered themselves in forever, which is the same for me. I can not remember the last time i did this...8th/9TH grade maybe! that is like 4 years ago! i guess i have just gotten all caught up in everybody else and making sure i everyone was having fun around me, but i think EVERYONE needs to pamper themselves. You might be thinking o no that is too expensive, or i have no time for that silliness. Although it is the complete opposite! just look around your house and I'm sure you have at least one item that you can pamper yourself with and everyone has enough time to chill out and paint toenails, how much time are you on the computer(I'm always am on it when i got nada to do!) or watching tv? paint your nails, give yourself a mask face and/or hair.  You will feel a lot better about yourself and when you feel good about yourself everyone around you will feel better. Happiness is contagious.

What do you girls think about every Monday i do a pamper me Monday, where i show how to pamper yourself for free or at least very cheaply? 

Anyway back to today!!
This morning I did the yoga video from yogatoday.com turning fear in to self confidence. It is still hard but i did better today and did the whole video...well except the head stand, instead i did diff back bends to try to get deeper into those poses. I was SWEATING and very attractive. ;) but i felt so good after and proceeded to enjoy...

Oat Bran
  • 1/3 cup oat bran
  • 1/2 almond milk, 1/2 water
  • some dried cherries cooked in
  • 3 dried dates chopped, cooked in
  • a sprinkle of coconut
  • lil spoonfuls of jiff natural, WCW, Choco chip cookie dough p, strawberry jam( wanted some pb and j action)
AMAZING once again i love oat bran, i used to ONLY like spicy/savory oats but wanted pb so i just added pb instead. Whatever my taste buds want i go for.
The cherries plumped up when cooked 

Now i am munching on a fruit bowl and hot tea

  • mango
  • 2 kiwi
  • sprinkle of dried cherries (I'm addicted i love them they are soo tart and squishy)
  • a handful of blueberries
Oh yes that's a yummy bowl

Now I'm just going to watch shopaholic again, because I'm addicted and start my lil craft.
