Food

Sometimes you just want something gluttonous, something sweet and delicious. Sometimes you want something flavorful and delicious, without worrying about the calories. Wouldn’t life be grand if we didn’t have to worry about the unhealthy ingredients that we put into our bodies? I get sick of reading ingredients lists or feeling guilty after eating or drinking something delicious. I just want to enjoy myself and not worry about the after effects. I mean, doesn’t everyone wish this? While my thinking is unrealistic, we can still work towards the goal of eating healthy, without questioning every ingredient. That is where SweetLeaf enters the picture.

Don’t you miss being a sweet little girl? Playing with dolls, tea parties, playing dress up, and so much more. Okay, maybe we didn’t do all of those things. I did play with dolls, but I was not much of a girlie girl. I climbed trees and played with toy cars more than anything else. Not that I am a young woman, I wish I were a girl again. I want to play dress up and play with a dollhouse and have tea parties! Halloween is over, so I can’t really play dress up again. Playing with dolls as an adult isn’t as fun. Unfortunately reality has a hindered my imagination. One thing I can do as a young woman, however, is I can BAKE. I am not saying I can bake GOOD, but I sure can give it a try. I can also have as many tea parties as I want (said in a defiant tone)! Why not have a cupcake tea party? What is a cupcake tea party, you may ask? Well my lovely friends, I will explain it all to you.

Ladies, sometimes we just need a break from all of our responsibilities. We need a nice relaxing day or a girls night out. I know that many of you enjoy routine, but I do not. It gets boring after awhile. Also, when I begin a routine, I get stuck in it. Many of our routines include work, school, exercise, cooking, cleaning, and many other daunting tasks. That brings me to another subject- dieting. Oh the dreaded word- DIET. Are you cringing yet? Some of us forget that dieting includes drinking less alcohol. It is unhealthy, so it is typically a NO NO when dieting. Well ladies, we can still have a girls night out. We can still have a few alcoholic beverages without completely ruining our diet. Skinny Girl Cocktails ladies, it’s a real thing.

Do you ever get sick of drinking the same thing over and over again? Obviously drinking soda, juice, water, or anything else is an every day thing. It isn’t exciting or fun. It’s just what we do to survive. The majority of us don’t make our own drinks. I mean, we pour them in a glass and drink. That’s it. We don’t have a say so of what goes in them, how sweet they are, or how carbonated they are. We purchase them from the store and drink them. That’s it. With that said, have you ever thought about making your own drinks? More specifically speaking, have you ever considered making your own soda? Yes, it is possible for the average person to make their own soda. Why not change your daily routine? Why not make something, as simple as drinking, FUN? I love the idea of turning every day routines into an activity or a game that the entire family can enjoy! How does that sound to you?

I’d like to think that at some point in your life something has inspired you in a positive way. Sometimes it is something big, that makes total since. For example, maybe the loss of a relative to a disease inspired you to become a health care provider and to research this disease. These are the obvious inspirations around us. Sometimes, though, it is the smallest glimpse of something that can bring our the biggest motivation in someone. It may be a funny story. It may be something that nobody, but you, will ever understand. Regardless of the inspiration, your heart is in something and your mind is going after it to. That is why when I heard about Marley Coffee, I wanted to learn more about the inspiration behind it!

I love nuts, dried fruit, and trail mixes. They are healthy snacks that I actually would choose over an unhealthy snack. Not every trail mix is good though. I have had plenty of trail mixes that just don’t taste right. Maybe the company didn’t salt it or maybe they had a weird mix of ingredients. The same goes for nuts and dried fruit. I don’t just buy any cheap brand that I come across. I look at the ingredients, read about the company, and look for reviews. It sounds like a lot of work, I know, but I want to be sure that I am not being fooled by an items “brand” or by the packaging. Basically, if I purchase something, I am sure of my purchase. With that said, I want you to be sure of your next snack purchase. If you are interested in gourmet, healthy snacks keep reading… If you aren’t keep reading because you will be after you learn about Gourmet Nut.

I have tried just about every snack subscription box out there (Seriously, I can count 5 right now)! I am a foodie, so I love the thought of getting delicious treats delivered to my door step every month. Typically the snacks that subscription boxes have can be put into one of these categories: health snacks, gourmet snacks, worldly snacks, or other treats that can [typically] be easily duplicated. I love trying new snacks as much as the next foodie, but I get bored with the same types of products over and over again. I want something new, something unique, and something that cannot be duplicated! I am SOOO excited to tell you about my new FAVORITE snack subscription box.

Sports are a big deal in our world. Sports bring people together. Sports create healthy competition and family gatherings. I don’t think the world would be the same without sports. Many of us have parties dedicated to the “Big Game”. I am not a sport’s fan, but I love the sports parties! Is a great excuse for good friends, family, drinks, laughs, and FOOD. Everyone knows that one of the most important aspects of a sports party, is the food! You need to have a little bit of everything. It all needs to be easy to eat and convenient to grab while you are yelling at the television! Sports’ party food usually consist of wings, hotdogs, chips, and beer. Have you ever thought about switching things up a bit and adding chocolate?
