Diva -Approved

by Healthy Diva on January 27, 2012

 

Happy almost weekend! Im ready for it and hope all of you are too! Honestly the last two weeks have been a little stressful, and I wish I was showing more love for my diva approved vlog style, but these past 2 weeks it just isn’t happening.

I am hoping next week to be back in your face with vlogs! Crazy night ahead for us here too, house appointments and my sisters birthday dinner right after, so will not be home until 10 or so. Excited for the night ahead! Wishing all of you a happy and healthy Friday night, and maybe have a glass or three of wine for me! Cheers!

Enjoy this weeks diva approved!

Trader Joe’s Harvest HodgePodge Vegetable Blend

Love this for a yummy stir fry! I have been using this veggie blend for our last couple stir fry meals, and its also good to just add to a salad! I always loves adding veggies to a salad, or use this blend for a side dish with some salmon  ;-)

Good Karma Flax Milk Vanilla

This milk is the BOMB! Love it , great flavor, and I love that it has Omega 3 in it!

Quaker Unsalted Rice Cakes 

I love rice cakes, yeah some people think they scream “omg diet food” but I like them and I can like whatever I please  :mrgreen:

These are great topped with almond butter, cottage cheese, tuna, protein frosting, hummus, and more! I love that they are salt free too!

Bear Naked Triple Berry Crunch Fit Granola

As much as I love their regular vanilla almond granola flavor, this one is great too! I love berries  :mrgreen:

Godiva Dark Chocolate Raspberry Coffee

So you kind of need this coffee, as I said this past week, its amazing! It’s like eating a raspberry truffle in a mug!

Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Chunks

Butternut squash is amazing and more amazing when you do not have to cut it up yourself! I love roasting these in the oven with cinnamon, and even drizzling peanut butter or almond butter over it.

Clif Mojo Dipped S’mores Bar

How can a bar with that flavor not be good? I love the mojo dipped bars, but this one is my favorite flavor to date! Its like having a healthier s’mores dessert!

Apple Oatmeal Pancake with Protein Frosting

This was my glorious breakfast from this morning that I couldn’t share because my camera died right after the photo shoot with it. The oatmeal pancakes I make are so good, but I love the apple kind so much!

Essie  ‘ A cut above ‘ and  ‘Play Date’

What is one of your favorite products from the week?

Just Facts from a Diva Friday

by Healthy Diva on January 27, 2012

Good Morning! Happy Friday everyone! Thanks for the comments on the last post, house hunting is fun but exhausting! We actually are going to meet with our realtor again tonight to look at more houses. So house hunters continues!

Since my camera batter died, I figured it would be fun to do a facts post, Chelsey does these a lot, and I love it!

1. Snack plates consisting of veggies, crackers, cottage cheese, and hummus have been a daily obsession all week.

2. Just when I thought I had all the TOMS I wanted or could afford, they come out with these ones, Happy Valentine’s Day!

*hint *hint Mike  ;-)

3. I got my sister addicted to pinterset, she is engaged so you know what her boards are, haha! My boards are just not as fun, perhaps I should pin wedding ideas for her on my profile  :-D Oh and if you want to follow me, you can here!

4. My mom cracks me up, she sent me a pic of her fruity drink she loves when her and my dad were out, and she told me she had 4! My mom rarely drinks so I am sure she was a fun sight to see that night, haha!

5.  The must have eye palette that I got last year and used for my wedding day, came out with a second one. Naked 2, it has been sold out but is back on sephora.com, wondering if it is just as amazing as the first?

6.  Its nice to have something to look forward to every month, a little box of cheer! The conscious box is that little surprise box that I love to get, always filled with amazing goodies! This months box had awesome teas, Think Thin bar, Green Tea bites, and more! If you are looking for a box of cheer every month, I suggest you sign up   :mrgreen:

7. Insanity really has been a challenging 3 weeks, but I am feeling tough and Insane! My husband at first didn’t like that I had a crush on Shaun T, but he has no worry now because Shaun T is not my favorite person right now, maybe after Insanity I will like him again and say thank you instead of ‘ f-you’ , haha!

8. Recently I said I have been having stress and its due to some girly problems down south, you know what I mean. Im hoping that things get better and thats all I will share for now. Nothing horrible, so no worries! I have had issues with my girl parts before, so Im just embracing it and staying positive  ;-)

9.  I love decorating for holiday’s, I don not decorate too much for Valentine’s Day though, but I did find a ‘KISS’ decoration in the Target dollar bin, so I got that. It looks cute on our mantle, near the unhung wedding pic.

 

10.  This fitbit ultra wireless tracker looks pretty cool. I really never tried anything to track calories or activity, but I like this. It measures your sleep too, pretty cool!  I might have to try it one day.

11. Today is a BIRTHDAY of someone who is very special to me. My sister Gina turns the big 2-0 today! No longer a teen, but still so much damn younger than me, boo! LOL! Happy Birthday Gina, love you! We will torture you at dinner tonight!

Well friends, I have a date with Insanity soon, so I am going to roll  ;-)

Have a great day! Diva Approved will be up later this afternoon!
