Happy Monday!

It’s a Marvelous Monday because I went to the beach on Saturday!

Saturday I woke up early, got my run in, had my beloved yogurt bowl with Cinnamon Puffins, and headed to the Jersey Shore with my Sister and our friend.  I’m proud to say that my paleness is slowly fading to a nice summer tan Winking smile

We hung out on the beach for over 4 hours just chatting—gossiping about people we can’t stand, school, boys, all that jazz hahaha.. I think this is going to have to be a common thing this summer since the beach was just so nice and kinda like an escape form all the drama that happened this past week**

The beach was so nice and cool out that we didn’t get hot at all.. but I think this made us forget about staying hydrated and realizing that the sun was going to wear us out haha I passed out at like 9 that night!

Before the drive home, we stopped at this ice cream place and I got a vanilla/chocolate twist.. haven’t had that in years—I’m not really a huge ice cream person, but am used to the store kind my parents get.

Some scenes:

Me and my Sister Smile

Me trying to take a picture of myself haha!

Funny story actually.. on the way back to my car, we were walking down the street and couldn’t find it anywhere.  Panic sank in when my Sister asked me if I had to pay… because I didn’t.  So there I was, freaking out, walking all around the streets thinking that my car was towed and how I was going to break the news to my Dad.

Then my Sister realized we were a street too soon and we found my car LOL I had never been so happy to see my little Civic before.

Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day by giving my Dad a giant cookie cake and some kitten cookies for his babies haha we’re such cat people, it’s crazy. 

He wasn’t expecting that so he was a happy camper, especially since he loves sweets. 

Funny story, when I went to put the cake order in on Friday night the woman didn’t understand what the word “world” meant.. I had to write it out lol maybe it was my accent? lol

I was kinda scared to see what it would say when I picked it up though Smile with tongue out 

It came out ok.. she completely messed up “worlds” and wrote “world” or “wuld”—either way it was a good cookie cake that we dug into before I could snap a picture Flirt male

But I did get a picture of my nails! I decided to embrace the inner 12 year old in me and do a multi color theme Smile with tongue out

**There’s been a lot of drama in my life lately—enough to make me delete my Facebook, and some changes are going to have to be made.. I’m slowly making these changes and will let you all know as soon as I can Smile– with a further explanation of course lol

Juicing… sorta

Happy Friday!

I think for my goal this month I’m going to try to be a better blogger… I miss it!  But now that things are slowing down for the Summer I’m sure I can bombard you with my randoms Winking smile

While I was in Florida I downloaded Bloglovin’… I’m totally loving it.. I can stalk you all while on my phone Smile with tongue out Now I just need to figure out how to comment with it and that’d be perfect!

Tomorrow I’m headed to the beach Open-mouthed smile Gotta scope out and find me a sexy surfer man Smile with tongue out haha jk I’m more there for the sun, but hey, a surfer would be nice! 

Fun fact: one year in Florida a surfer boy actually took me out in the ocean and we like chilled with each other for 4 hours lol

Even though I miss being in Florida, I think I missed this face more

Just a big pile of cuteness!! 

And Mimi, of course…

I think she’s been practicing her seductive face while we were away…. Scandalous!!

Yesterday we had like crazy storm warnings.. I woke up expecting just rain, but my Dad informed me it was going to be the worst weather of the year.  Spooky! Good thing where I work is like a bomb shelter lol we seriously didn’t hear ANYTHING… no rain, nothing.  I guess it’s a good place to be in case of bad weather.

Since I’m still living in vacation mindset, yogurt bowls are a common thing now Smile I actually forgot how much I liked yogurt with fruit and cereal for breakfast… so it’s been a nice change of things.

In this bowl: plain Greek yogurt, flax, blueberries, and Cinnamon Puffins (my favorite)

My Dad built my new dresser the other day!! So I am happy to announce that after having my baby dresser for 25 years, I am officially a big girl and can organize my clothes Open-mouthed smile

While I was in Florida, one of the many purchases I got was The Beauty Detox Recipe book.  I found it in Target and liked some of the recipes I saw in the back… a lot of them are vegan/vegetarian so I figured why not give it a go.  My eats are so boring so I’m hoping some of her ideas will help me change up things a bit haha

One of the things that caught my attention was her Green Glowing juice.  She recommends having it in the morning to jump start your day.  So naturally, I wanted to try this—especially since there was lots of spinach involved Smile with tongue out I do love me some spinach.

Since I don’t have a juicer, I figured my magic bullet might do the trick.  Yea, bad idea… it took me like 45 minutes to just blend up this once juice LOL I had to keep switching out the juice and adding stuff back in… aye it was a hassle and I had like piles of green napkins soaking up the mess after LOL

Butttttt, even though I wanted to pull out my hair, this is what I got!

Bam!

I changed up the combination a bit cause I didn’t have too many things in the fridge so mine was only spinach, cucumber, apple, and lemon

Pretty good… kind of a different taste, but I’m sure I’d get used to it if I keep it up haha chances are I won’t but hey, it’s always nice to dream Winking smile

If only I had a juicer….

So onto the question of the day!

Do any of you know of a good/cheap/small juicer that doesn’t take up like any counter space? Smile I’d be forever grateful haha

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend ladies!
