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.



oh the pampering mondays idea is genius! I could definitely use some tips :)

my vote goes to pampering every day- just for 10-15 minutes of *you* time...whether it's painting your nails or switching your cell/computer off to light some candles and put on a facemask. Be your own best friend and treat yourself like the princess you are :)
ReplyDeleteI need to try oat bran- does it cook the same way as oats? Some people seem to use a lot of extra liquid...
aww thats cute that you got the boy to do some yoga :)
ReplyDeletewow love all the different nut butters in that bowl of oats!
I would love that for a monday post! I am always wanted to try new beauty things :-)

I Love Confessions of a Shopaholic!
ReplyDeleteThe pampering sounds like fun-I need to start back doing that for myself as well :)
That is such a great idea for "pampering mondays" !!
ReplyDeleteI know you like mango and avocado! I really reccomend you puree both the mango and avo. together then stick in the freezer for about an hour, and its like "raw" ice cream!! SO GOOD sweet, creamy, and healthy! I also put in ontop of fresh blueberries of strawbs. SO good. <3
