RECAP

A lot of excitement at work which always feels good, and fulfilling.. especially in the name of raising $$$ for cancer.

A lot of growing in life as well.

Saw my favorite intuitive/pyschic if you will.. that is always fun and enlightening.

and a boat ride..

Yamashiro Market, Thursday Nights.

Such a cool find Downtown, Perch

Excursion to the OC Fair

a celebrity (not allowed to promote who yet) played/filmed 'Price is Right' for NFF

saw Adele at the Palladium.. I have no words for how amazing she was/is. 

 

off to lunch, to have my 3rd BeachBod salad of my work week.. with friends, naturally. PHEW

Lots of lessons and trials and tribulations of the week as well, but my ultimate advice- 

Keep dreaming, stay positive, clear your life of negatives.. you know what/who they are... simple as that. Easier said then done? I don't think so. Just do it. Get a grip, and try your best to cleanse.. not the Pressed Juicery type of cleanse.. but mentally. 

Spending the weekend in SD, thrilled... we will go to the SD Zoo, i love those dang animals.. see old college friends, eat great food.. so fun to take easy weekends. 

L'CHAIM. 

dreaming.

right on the BULLSEYE

Ok, TARGET.

I must have everything MISSONI, for Target.


I can barely breath. My excitement is beyond. I already have anxiety that I could miss getting my hands on some of the best pieces. You have no idea. I hate this feeling, some Targets will put it out a day early, it will sell out online because they want to just restock and get rid of it in stores too fast. I am almost so anxious that for one second I contemplated not even posting a blog about it, BECAUSE WHAT IF PROMOTING IT HELPS IT SELL OUT FASTER? (good thing I have no readers and this is just a cathartic fun process for me, PHEW).

IT IS SO GOOD, BEYOND. AMAZING. yes. 

DREAMING.

"Tomorrow it starts, Monday"

You know the drill... "OH, tomorrow is Monday I will eat healthy starting then". Feels like I say that three weeks out of the month, whoops.

Well, I can never promise to you that it will stick, but the outlook is always pretty good on Tuesday mornings.


Last night I went wild with the healthy cooking and prep for the week. I want to share. First of all the new joke in our household (Alex and I's) is that we are getting "heart-healthy". My father may not be scared by his little episode but my poor husband sure is. Put him into a fury of "gotta get healthy" mindset.


SO.. I made some fun things!

Started at the grocery store... 

Then decided to attempt homemade salad dressing the results were AMAZING. I put half an avocado, 2 tablespoons of non-fat sour cream, organic parsley, cilantro, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.. and BOOM! 

 The next thing I do often, because I am married to a freak who hates when I am lazy with chicken (AKA- I cannot marinade the chicken in the same casserole that I cook it in, or put it back without washing it... ya, ya I get it.. most people are that way) SO, to save myself an extra dish I prep it in the container I buy it in, then place it in a plastic baggy to marinate.
4 breast cut in half to last throughout the week, with fresh garlic, lemon, parsley, and rosemary. EASY, fresh, and yummy.

 Now: the interesting thing- KALE CHIPS. 3 different friends had recommended trying this, so I finally did. Rip up some fresh Kale, throw it on a cookie sheet with some olive oil, salt and pepper and bake! They were soooo good fresh, they have gotten a little soggy sitting desk-side this AM, but still good.

 AND: Pressed Juicery. I am trying to learn how to make my own juices but they just never seem to come out right, or edible for that matter.
PS- the PRESSED man yesterday made me feel so much better when he told me they aren't necessarily intended to be a meal. PHEWY.

DREAMING that this time the health kick sticks a little. HERE'S HOPING...

Been a long time...

I never go this long without posting. Life took over, Alex (the husband) took the bar, which in CA takes 3 solid days... and then my Father had a medical episode while he was back east that we jumped on a plane to attend to... aka- all I want is to watch my DVR'd shows and get back into a routine. COMING FROM ME, that says a lot.. I HATE ROUTINES.. AND YES, hate is a strong word.. I can hear my mother saying "Hate is a strong word Sabrina, say you strongly dislike instead"

Even though we were across the country for a hospital emergency.. you gotta still realize, LIVE WHILE YOU CAN- so BC my husband loves America and had never been to the liberty bell, we took a quick break and ran over to see it. EXCUSE THE LACK OF MAKE-UP AND SLEEP..

I also have to comment that I would have thought I would go crazy for the food in Philly, and I just was not crazy about any of it. Potbelly sandwiches which people rave about.. Philly Sandwiches.. I was not even into: AKA- THAT MEANS IT IS NOT GOOD.

But I am back.. and I feel like life is moving at such a fast speed.. how is it already a week into August? College kids are going back to school... I wanna say it is that feeling of summer winding down, but really September is the hottest month. which brings me to...

RETAIL-
all the stores are full swing into FALL. I have always had an affinity for fall clothing. BUT, we don't really have a fall. I envision NY type days, wearings opaque tights and Britney Spears type school girl plaid wool skirts, big chunky sweaters. Being cool... but not cold and being able to dress for it.

Anyways, this post is just to get me back into the swing.. and I bought a pair of great leopard shoes for fall already- I loved them so much I contemplated springing for two of them, so I always had a back-up for life.

Here are some pictures of the past couple weeks for good measure of things I have missed sharing with you all:

Those are a few of the random blackberry snapshots I have taken since my last post... back with a vengeance. Lots of DREAMS to start going after. XO
