Sojourn

hiatus

  Yep, that is correct….I am peacing out for 5 weeks. I’m off to Europe…mostly the UK with stints in Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam. I can’t say that I have the urge to blog while I’m over there so let this be our official goodbye until I get back. smooches Continue Reading

Yet Another Energy Drink

  Because there aren’t enough “feel good” drinks on the market, we’ve got another one to consider – welcome EBOOST. The website calls it “a healthy energy drink mix” that helps everything from increasing focus, hangovers, endurance, fatigue, workout recovery, etc. Basically, if you’re feeling anything other than happy and peppy, Vitalize Labs, LLC (the makers of the stuff) wants to you drink EBOOST. Of course I checked out the ingredients, and its a bunch of vitamins and a couple… Continue Reading

My baby rosemary plants

Are they precious though?!?! The last time you saw them, they were still in their pots. My littles ones are coming along nicely: I have a couple tiny green beans sprouting, I picked four bell peppers yesterday, and my parsley is doing great. My tomato plants, they kinda look like they’re struggling, but I know they’ll get it together. Continue Reading

Mum and I wanted to try out the sauna at our gym so we went this past Saturday. I’ve never been in one and I assumed that saunas were her thing; not so much. We were both about to get our sauna-cherries popped that day. The sauna was set to be heated up to 140ºF and we were supposed to be in there for 20 minutes. So we got in, we’re chillin’ and mum almost immediately starts to sweat. Fast… Continue Reading

Today’s Workout…

cardiocollection

…left me exhausted. I started out with 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and decided to do interval training. Stick a pin….last night, for whatever reason, I decided to look up ‘how to do interval training’…I don’t know why because I’ve been doing intervals. Well, as it turns out, Dani, ‘the bright’ (please note the sarcasm), has been doing intervals in not the most effective way. All this time, I was doing intervals like this: 1 minute intense and 2 minutes… Continue Reading
