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 
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
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?

I’m drooling over the granola and coffee – I had no idea Godiva had a coffee, but now I must have!!
Yes they do and all the flavors I have had are amazing! <3
I saw that flax milk earlier this week! Can’t wait to try it. I have been enjoying a new almond milk this week though. The Unsweetened Vanilla AND Coconut Milk by Almond Breeze. So good. I am also planning on making those pancakes tomorrow morning and I’m pretty pumped about it. Happy Friday!
I always loved the almond breeze vanilla, but then tried SILK and it is so much better!
Happy Friday and yay for a big pancake tomorrow! <3
Cottage cheese on rice cakes actually sounds amazing! This week I have been obsessed with Trader Joe’s Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix! So good on salads! Crunchy and delicious!
i’ve never seen that milk, but will have to try!
love snacky plates, especially cottage cheese lately. i’ve been smearing it on wasa crackers. those toms are really cute!! i bought my sister the black sparkly ones for xmas but still haven’t purchased a pair myself.
I absolutely love rice cakes.That coffee looks AMAZING. Love that essie too
I love those essie colors!! And I can’t believe I’ve never tried protein frosting…I should really do that. Hope you have an awesome friday <3!
You really need to try protein frosting, you would love it!
Happy Weekend love! <3

May I steal that coffee and nail polish please and thank you?!
Yes you can, or come visit and I will paint your nails and make you coffee!
omg I LOVE that Mojo bar flavor. It’s like candy!!! TGIF!!
Ah! The Flax milk! I saw it at Whole Foods and have been wanting to get my hands on some. Does it taste like almond milk?
its great!!! Its a must try!
That coffee looks amazing.. Where’d you get that flax milk? I’ve never seen it before!
Whole Foods sells it! You could go online too Im sure and check, think there is a store locator on there!
i miss your vlogs but i totally understand. I will always wait for your voice. hehe.
Now, about that milk. Its on my list!
Im shooting for next week to bring them back ; )
<3
Happy Friday! Never heard of flax milk, but I need to check it out and recreate it cheap!
Oh yes, you could totally recreate it, with your skills ; )
Happy Friday to you love! Hope you have fun with your sister tonight and get some R&R in this weekend. I can relate to having some stressful weeks as well…I say we need a yoga and coffee date and all will be right in the world!
wish we could do yoga and grab coffee together!!!!
Hope you enjoy your weekend love! <3
I eat rice cakes too…but I buy the Lundberg rice cakes which are 70 calories and 16 grams of carbs per rice cake…then I eat like 6 or 7 of them…I feel a bit gluttony whenever I see bloggers only eat 1 or 2 of the 35-cal ones…yipes.
I like them with coconut oil + jam + yogurt.
I know, I just love rice cakes though for snacks topped with almond butter, protein frosting, or cottage cheese!
Your combo sounds good!
They just sent me coupons for that flax milk! Excited to buy some this weekend!
You will like it! Sweeeeeet!
have not seen that milk yet around us. hopefully soon it sounds great
Its great! I hope you find it!
I love how the color pink works its way into so many of your favorite products!
This week I’m LOVING TJ’s Fig Butter. I used it to roast some chicken- crazy delicious!
Agghhhh! I miss youuuuuu!
Oh my,that Mojo bar sounds so good! I am a snack bar addict and wish I could get it somewhere here!
The nail polish looks very pretty,too – I love that pink-ish color a lot!
Have a great weekend,girl!
Its very good! S’mores is just the best flavor ever ; )
Have a great weekend too!
My favorite is DEFINITELY the Essie polish!!! Chic chic chic.
Happy weekend, dear Katie!
Happy Weekend beautiful friend! <3
Mehhhh!! I’m so sad we don’t have trader joes in Hawaii:( super bummer! Everything they have is super awesome!!
I just want to share with you that you inspire me to eat healthy, to stay positive and that no matter what happens with life, just go along with it instead of being sad and depressed. Thank you for being an awesome blogger, I don’t know how I found you but I’m glad I did! I’ve been having a bad year myself, and I just hope that I can stay optimistic and not be lazy. I’ve read one of your earlier posts about your relationship struggles in the past and it really made me tear and I’m really glad you found mike. I guess good things fall apart so the better things can fall together! Your posts give me hope about future and I like that you’re so cheerful and positive! I just wish I had the same charisma. Good luck with house hunting! Hope insanity is going well, wait until you do cardio conditioning. Holy hell haha.
Hi Jenzu!
Oh gosh, thank you so much! The kind words mean so much, knowing I can make some of your crappy days better means a lot, we all have those days and rough times. Good things do fall apart for better things to come together, its SO true! It actually just happened to our family, I will be sharing that later on this week. I truly believe in that saying, and yes relationships can be a rollercoaster and you will go through bad to get to the good, I am grateful every day for Mike, as he is for me. We really appreciate each other : )
Thank you so much, I am glad you found my blog, everything happens for a reason! If you ever need anything, do not hesitate to email me!
Happy Saturday! xo
I was just in the states this past weekend to grocery shop(if you can believe it, us Canadians pay a large amount more for grocery’s. so much so that gas isn’t a factor on the deals we get in the states) and i was FINALLY able to get the mojo cliff bars. SOO YUMMY. Also i saw your Essie nail polish. I almost picked some up just because of you. But I have fake nails haha
Destini!
I am so glad you got your hands on mojo bars! They are the BEST!!!!! Yay! Glad you liked them! What flavor ones did you get?
Oh essie ; )
