WHAMMY 1: chocolate lovers and taste of the west festival.
this is 1/2 of a row! there were at least 5 more! busy packed mean hungry people. one lady snapped at me bc i "cut" the line but i didn't there was a longgggg line for other restaurants but i just wanted natures table but she was so mean that i left :( o well i didn't need it
I will let my pictures do the talking but there 32 different chocolate/ice cream/restaurants giving away large "samples" of food me and Zoe went to approx 12! and i didn't eat to to much def my fair share of chocolate. There was a lot of BBQ which of course i didn't par take it. some of the restaurants were
- Golden corral (no picture) but they had my favorite thing there, it was this kinda sweet roll i ate the whole thing soooo good i want more!
- Rita's ( i got smores only ate a couple bits zoe got mango)
- ronneys sports bar had a pesto ravioli i had half it was really really good but very rich.
- whole foods! giving away chocolate and cheesecake layered cake i didn't have any i was full!

- there was two of these
- other restaurants panera,Starbucks,gelota stick, jimmy johns, Hoffman's chocolate, pizza
- and also competitions for cake decorating
- i also brought along with me little Ziploc bags to bring Zoe's fam baking goods home, zoe laughed at me for this but i think it was pure genius! this was one of three bags full of goodies i couldn't eat i was sooo full!
whew longgggg but funny. all these people seemed like they haven't eaten for days they were so aggressive me and Zoe just were chillen taking our time gong to only places we felt like. and i guess some one tripped over me or i did something to make someone trip...i don't know what happened i was in THE ZONE! but zoe told me a lady exclaimed to a security man " i know it was the girl in the yellow!" nothing happened but it made me laugh people were hatting on me
WHAMMY 2: *drummmmm rollllllll*
My secret blogger package came from Julie at striving for balance!
She is such a sweetheart and defiantly spoiled me! I was giggling like a little girl on Christmas when i saw the package at my door! I brought it to my room and grabbed my camera turned it on and then it ran out of battery! AHHHHHHHHH i charged it for a couple minutes while i opened this glorious package. then took pictures of everything. I then proceeded to call my boy and exclaimed that my blogging present came! he laughed and told me to bring it over. no more wait look what i got...
this is what i saw when i opened it! lovely
Julie put little post-its on the items which i thought was soo nice and made me giggle. ok this is what i got
- green & blacks organic milk chocolate bar! (love chocolate and G&B has the most creamy milk that i absolutely love)
- Heart Thrive in apricot and date! ( amazing! ever since seeing these on others blogs i have been wanting them so badly since they are no where in sight in west palm beach sad)
- mix my granola coupon, had a post it that said " don't be scared of granola! you can make your own healthy version"( i am pretty pumped to go and make granola)
- larabars apple pie and cocoa mole (yummmmer i have yet to try apple pie and i love pie!)
- think thin brownie crunch ( chocolate? high protein? sign me up!!!)
- mojo dipped choco peanut( i love love this bar...i have had it only once)
- BARNEY BUTTER ( i do not like regular almond butter bc its too grainy but this almond butter is SPECTACULAR it still does the sticky PB effect but has almond, glorious!)
Now that was picture ONE out of THREE!
- fitness mag ( i love all magazines and this one looks like fun to read on the elliptical/by the pool)
- Sparkle candle( i love candles when i want some me time and relax!)
- lotion and body spray fresh cherry ( i adore the smell, its summery and fresh)
Now Picture THREE!
peanut butter...chocolate...brownies! Look at those swirls! i had one already haha after brekkie and it was sooo good,fudgey(just the way i like my brownies), full of chocolate and peanut buttery flavor. defiantly the best brownies!!!!!
she also sent me a card that was very nice and made me smile. after showing my boy my package he says "wow there are Nicole's all over the USA) because he knows i love sharing healthy food and giving people presents just bc and making baking goods and etc. basically what the blogging community does.
This was more then i expected! i am so lucky, thank you so much Julie! you made my day!
Morning before the package arrived
I went to body plus class and usually it is really hard and I'm sweating after but today i had a new lady and instead of sweating it just hurt really good doing endurance muscle things with weights and a lot of repetition. It was a nice change
coming home i was going to make a smoothie but instead i made a salad (no picture my phone is dead and charging.) but it was just spinach,bbq sauce, corn,black beans. simple but large and a brownie, and couple pretzels
the rest of the day i am going to be chillaxing with my boy and partying with some friends at night! I am very excited that summer is here!
