My New Years Resolution

Every year, I make a New Years Resolution, or five, and have the hardest time sticking to it, or them. Most of the time, my resolution(s) include: getting healthy, losing weight, working out and other things along those lines. But this year, I decided to get serious with myself.

As silly as it sounds, I payed great attention to the news leading up to the new year. I listened to all the “experts” and the advice they were giving to a nation of failed New Year’s Resolutions. And, as obvious as some of these tips sound, I made a point to take the advice. Here are some of the things I learned:

1. Limit your number of resolutions – As they say, you’d much rather do one thing well, than several things poorly (or not at all). This was a huge step for me. I set one resolution which leads me to No. 2.
2. Set specific goals and perimeters for your resolution – For this, I wrote down my goals on a monthly basis. It’s especially important to set reasonable goals so that you aren’t discouraged when you can’t reach unreasonable goals.
3. Use holidays and events to your advantage – This was easy for me. My college graduation and my sister’s wedding are big upcoming events in my life that make sticking to my resolution that much easier.
4. Hold yourself accountable – Now, some people may post on social media about their goals but for me, posting about my weight is a little too personal for me. So, to hold myself accountable, I wrote my timeline and my goals and I sent them to my sister. She has been so helpful and encouraging in my goals.
5. Encourage yourself – This is huge for me. I’ve turned my life around to be more positive in all aspects. And this has made me happier, in general, and about my goals.

These are a few general pieces of advice that I learned and can go toward so many resolutions from losing weight to traveling more.

Now, in no way am I turning my blog into a diet and exercise blog. But I want this post to somewhat continue to hold me accountable. I’m four weeks into my New Year’s Resolution and I’m 2lbs. away from reaching my January goal (four days to go). I’ve becoming a better planner and I’m better at managing my time to balance school, work, internships and getting healthy; and I’m genuinely happier.

I’ve enlisted friends to go to the gym with me, I encourage myself by making healthy cooking and eating fun and most importantly I plan ahead. This is a typical Sunday night for me getting ready for the week:

Planning and bringing something that looks this delicious with you to work or school can even help encourage friends, or help them to encourage you to continue what you’re doing. “How do I sign up for this lunch service?” – Jordan Mathews, a good friend of mine!

For me, this is just one post within my blog and as I said, it won’t turn my blog into a fitness blog, mainly because I’m still learning so much. But! My dear friend Kierstin Cifelli’s Health & Fitness blog is awesome and I’d encourage you to read it.

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? How are you doing it? Do you have any advice for people having a hard time sticking to a New Year’s Resolution? Can’t wait to hear your feedback!

Love Always

Update from my friend, Jordan!

Hot Yoga

Well, ladies and gentlemen! I have a new addiction.

When I came home for summer, I started going to hot yoga at Empowered Yoga in Newark, Del. with my sister. She has been practicing yoga for about five years and looks great. In an effort to get healthy and shed some extra weight, I started going with her on a regular basis and now I am absolutely addicted!

The workout is like no other workout I have ever done. Something about it is absolutely invigorating. The room is heated to nearly 100° and, though this might sound miserable, once my body acclimates to the heat, it feels comfortable.

I’ve taken two types of classes at Empowered Yoga: a Stationary Sequence and Vinyasa.

The stationary sequence is described on the Empowered Yoga website as, “a full body sequence of postures for beginners to advanced practitioners. Postures promote strength and flexibility while fostering deeper levels of concentration. Recommended for students who want to strengthen and balance their mind and body while developing a strong foundation. All Stationary Sequence classes are Balanced Athlete certified.”

This sequence is a series of poses that are the same at every class. My balance has improved significantly and, though I’ve always been rather flexible, my muscles get a good stretch every class.

Vinyasa is a class that takes “the principles taught in the Stationary Sequence into a dynamic flow using the breath to link postures. Increase your lung capacity and mental alertness through yogic breathing while tapping into your ability to calm the body, mind, and emotions. A physically challenging and spiritually fulfilling class.”

This class is my favorite. I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it without the foundation I gained in the stationary sequence because this is kind of an ass-kicking class. Vinyasa classes change each month and progress throughout the month as the class gets better at the poses. The class has a flow (transitions from pose to pose) where the stationary sequence is each pose individually. I’m not exactly sure how to describe how much I love this class. It makes me sore but it’s that feel-good-sore!

Hot yoga makes you sweat A LOT. I’ve never been a fan of sweating but during yoga, it doesn’t bother me. I feel like I’m sweating out all the toxins from the day. I also feel so centered. I don’t think about anything during class except the poses. I free my mind and feel so relaxed after class. Then, I get a second wind about an hour after class just like those grueling gym workouts but without the misery. I’ve had a more positive attitude since I started taking these classes and it’s something I really look forward to.

I started taking classes one or two times a week and now I’m going three to five times a week. I love it. I’m addicted! I can’t describe it and I really hope what you’ve read is at least somewhat convincing to go try it!

So here’s what I’m trying my hardest to say: if you’re looking for a different kind of workout, try it; if you need to free your mind, try it; if you want to gain flexibility, strength and balance, try it; if you’ve never tried it, TRY IT.

Seriously, you have nothing to lose. And don’t give up after your first class. I hated the first class I ever went to because I didn’t let go of my mind and I was frustrated, hot and dizzy, but I kept going and now look. ADDICTION.

For real, try it.

Find the nearest yoga studio and just do it. You can thank me later.

Have you ever taken or considered taking a yoga class? Heated or not. Can anyone back me up on this? I’d love to hear from you!

Love Always

PS – I’ve already found where I’ll be practicing hot yoga down at school! :)

The Present Moment Cafe

I’m foodie. Those who know me know this might even be an understatement. I was raised eating great food and going to the best restaurants. My family uses food as a way to bring everyone together. And most people can’t turn down my mom’s cooking :)

I want to share with you some experiences I have had at local restaurants, both at home in Maryland and at school in Florida. I’ll give you my honest opinion and hope it helps you decide where to eat.

Sure, St. Augustine, Fla is filled with historic landmarks, nationally ranked locations for beauty and famous restaurants. But, behind all the hustle and bustle of tourists and over-priced trolley rides, are places the locals cherish.

When my parents visited me this semester we made a plan to try as many restaurants as we could that none of us had been to already. The Present Moment Café was one place that’d I’d been wanting to try for quite some time.

The first time I heard about this restaurant was last summer. I was floating around in the pool in my neighborhood and somehow struck up a conversation with two people – Hugo and Cindy (if I remember their names correctly). It all started, because of Hugo’s accent, clearly from New York and it reminded me of home.

We started talking about food (of course) when Hugo asked me, “Have you ever been to The Present Moment Café?” I hadn’t and as he told me about the fresh, organic, vegan menu, I was intrigued. I’m a meat eater usually, but I’m also a very good eater. I’ve had opportunities in my life to eat some really great food and I will pretty much try anything once.

And it turns out that Hugo is the baker at The Present Moment Café and Cindy works there as well (I can’t quite remember what her job is there…this was over a year ago…give me some credit!)

The Present Moment Café was officially on my bucket list. I continued to work and relax by the pool for the rest of the summer. The Present Moment Café stuck in the back of my mind, though. Soon the summer ended, school started and so did the piles of homework and projects. I’m not really sure where the time went, but it was winter break, I headed home for a month and returned for another semester.

Still in the back of my mind, I anticipated my parents’ visit at the beginning of March and promised myself that I would wait no longer! And now, looking back, I can’t believe I waited that long.

Oh, sweet deliciousness. Where to start?!

How about the atmosphere, since that is where it all begins when you walk into a restaurant.

  (please, click on the photos to enlarge them… you won’t be sorry :-))

The stained-glass windows, the fresh flowers on each table, the rustic furniture. The salt was even pink, how awesome is that?! Each table was set and a canteen of cucumber water sat in the center of each table.

It felt warm and cozy. I already had a good feeling about this place. We sat at a table in the center of the small restaurant and I couldn’t help but continue to look around. It was beautiful. Everything went together perfectly.

Once I finally gathered myself enough to look at the menu, we ordered soup, appetizers and our lunches. Yepp, three-course lunch. Go big or go home, right?

First, the soup and appetizer. I’m a food mooch when it comes to going out to eat. So I let the others order what they want “as long as I can have a bite” :-) And my No. 1 rule is that no one at the table can order the same thing. That’s just plain boring.

My mom ordered this soup. It’s a cooked root soup, emphasis on the cooked since The Present Moment Café focuses on raw delicacies. This soup was mild and subtle but absolutely delicious. It was a special the day we went, so it’s not on the regular menu. This soup is perfect for a chilly day or a day when you’re feeling under the weather – it has that feel to it, if you know what I mean.

This is the soup my dad ordered. We have been trying to figure out what the exact name of it is, because it was also a special the day we went. This was a cold tomato based soup with avocado and tomato and a “cashew sour cream” because the restaurant doesn’t use dairy products. It was such a refreshing soup. I can’t decide if it’s because it was served cold or if the freshness did it…or maybe it was a combination of the two. It was delicious nonetheless. A little heavier that the cooked root soup but  definitely more of a summer soup. My dad practically licked the bowl clean!

Our appetizer came out with the soup. Some friends from work raved about the “Holy Guacamole & Salsa” from the Present Moment and insisted that I try it.

I’m rarely left speechless. I mean it takes A LOT to find me with nothing to say. This guacamole did it. My family eats a lot of guacamole. Avocados are amazing. No guacamole is the same. Even when I make it, it’s never been the same twice. The Holy Guacamole from the Present Moment was so fresh. The cilantro to avocado ratio was perfect. And my favorite part about this guacamole was that you could taste the avocado. It wasn’t drown out by other spices or ingredients and you could really taste its flavor. And those weird looknig chips you see in the photo are dehydrated tortilla chips, made at the restaurant. They have a very hollow texture…if that’s even possible, but that’s the only way I can describe it. They weren’t really salty which, again, complimented the guacamole perfectly. The salsa was good. It seemed a little standard and, honestly, after the knock-my-socks-off guacamole, it was pretty expected. This restaurant serves such fresh food and, only two courses in, I was sold! :)

Now, I hope you’re sold enough to continue reading about our main courses :P

This is the Kale Wrap with veggies and an almond ginger dipping sauce that my mom ordered. The almond dipping sauce was the best part of this wrap. The veggies inside were as fresh as the other dishes we had so far but the kale somewhat set the wrap back from, what I thought, was it’s full potential. The kale was very thick and too tough. Without the dipping sauce, the wrap was a little bland. Though the veggies were fresh, they somehow lacked flavor. After the wrap was gone, we noticed there was an option to order the wrap with spinach instead of kale. This would definitely make the wrap better and, if I were to order it again, I would order it with a spinach wrap!

I ordered the Tacos of Life. MORE KNOCK-MY-SOCKS-OFF GUACAMOLE. Oh boy! Yum! Now, look closely at that picture. This wasn’t what I was expecting when I ordered tacos, and I’m sure you’d be in the same boat if you were me but I was not disappointed! I actually asked the server how she suggests I eat it for maximum enjoyablility :P Inside each taco is one scoop of guacamole, one scoop of salsa and one scoop of pine-nut chili. Again, no meat because of the vegan menu. I ate the first taco using the dehydrated tortilla chips so I could taste each part of the taco separately. The pine-nut chili was flavorful, nutty and filling. Even the little scoops in the tacos made me feel full as if I had eaten a taco with meat in it. The second taco, I mixed the three ingredients together and truly enjoyed the way the flavors blended together. Definitely a great choice for lunch at the Present Moment!

This is the Creamy White Truffle Pesto Pasta that my dad ordered and definitely my favorite lunch I got to try that day! This fresh zucchini pasta, made at the restaurant, was amazing. It had a subtle zucchini flavor and the exact texture and consistency of pasta. It was perfectly covered with pesto and cured tomatoes and topped with pine nut “parmesan.” The pasta was served cold. It was refreshing and light and loaded with flavor. The side salad was the perfect combination with the pasta. I definitely recommend this lunch dish :)

This was such a great experience. The menu was something like I had never seen before. I was so excited to try vegan delicacies and I’m glad I did. The atmosphere of the restaurant really pulled everything together. If you are in St. Augustine, this is definitely a place to go.

And next time I will try Hugo’s famous vegan muffins :)

Have you ever been to a vegan restaurant? Have you ever been to the Present Moment Cafe? Tell me about your experience! :)

Thank you so much for reading!

My Dad’s First Pedicure

Well the semester ended in April and I’ve made it home (Maryland). I am interning doing multimedia in the University of Delaware Athletic Department. It’s been a busy few months!

My deepest apologies for how long this post has taken!

I was looking through pictures from this semester and I couldn’t help but laugh when I came across an album called “Dad’s Pedicure.”

And this wasn’t just any old pedicure. It was his very first pedicure.

I am the youngest of his three daughters. He has lived with four women for the greater part of his life. How he flew under the radar for this long without getting a pedicure is beyond me.

I see pedicures as the greatest time of month (or two weeks, depending on how much pampering I deserve). My mom and I had talked about getting pedicures right away when they arrived in St. Augustine. I thought it’d be nice to invite my dad and his skeptical “no thanks” had me curious.

“Have you ever had a pedicure, dad?”
“No.”

OH DEAR. This seemed unbelievable and I gave him no choice but to join us.

Since he’s never had a pedicure, I’m sure you can imagine the state of his feet. We’re talking about corners and calluses and who knows what else.

I grabbed my camera and we headed for the nail salon. I must say, this was the least relaxing pedicure of my life and I am totally okay with that because I was completely entertained just watching my dad experience this greatness.

I also didn’t know that my dad is ticklish. I mean TICKLISH. I think he almost kicked the pedicurist in the face about a dozen times.

He was laughing so hard he was wheezing!

But all the laughter didn’t last for long. Approximately 45 seconds after the pedicurist started rubbing his feet…

…he was out cold.

Once the pedicure was over and my dad awoke from his slumber, of course, my first questions, “Well, what did you think?!” The smile on his face and the dazed look in his eyes said it all. He’s actually volunteered to go for a pedicure since this.

So, ladies, with this I’d like to challenge you. Next time you go for your regular pedicure, invite your dad, your boyfriend or maybe just a friend who doesn’t treat himself regularly.

Have you ever taken your dad for a pedicure? How about another friend who has never had one? Have they gone again since then?

I would love to hear from you :)

Love Always

I Have Been Horrible!

To all my readers:

This blog was something I took up for fun and I was on such a role…or so I thought. But I’ve looked back and I have a lot of catching up to do. I’m going to start fresh with my postings and hopefully I’ll keep up with it!

I really do enjoy sharing with you and I hope you will continue to read :)

Whirlwind

PHEW!

It’s been a while since my last post and I’d like to apologize and tell you that I haven’t forgotten about you :-) The past three weeks have been pretty wild!

First, my parents came down. We spent the five and a half days they were in town eating delicious food, visiting landmarks in historic St. Augustine, Fla. and enjoying each other’s company.

I had quite a few firsts while they were in town. Even though I’ve lived here for nearly three years, there are many things I’ve wanted to do and places I’ve wanted to go but with school and work, it is sometimes difficult. But in any case, when I have visitors, I like to make time to do the things I can’t do on a regular basis and show my guests everything this incredible town has to offer.

We went to The Present Moment Cafe for the first time and enjoyed organic, vegan food. We tried the eccentric flavors of the Casa Maya restaurant. We took a ferry out to the Fort Matanzas. My dad got his first pedicure. And I cooked my parents a homemade meal of grilled chicken, quinoa and stuffed zucchini.

I was so sad to see my parents leave. Their visit this time was much shorter than usual and my semester at school is kicking my butt. Having them visit is like having a piece of home right here in St. Augustine with me.

But once they left, I had less than a week to prepare for my high school friend Brian to come down to visit. He was bringing with him three of his friends: Kaytee, Britt and Charlie. They were coming for Salisbury University in Maryland for a few days for their spring break. I figured visiting a friend in a tropical location would be a prime spring break destination for college students on a budget.

After some back and forth confusion of the date of their actual arrival, we figured it out that they would be driving through the night and arriving Friday morning around 6 a.m. I welcomed them with open arms, we crashed for a few hours and then the fun began.

These four definitely know how to have a good time. We went to bars and restaurants around town, we walked to the shops and some of the historic landmarks in St. Augustine and I did my best to keep up with them and show them a good time.

When they left on Monday, I had a day and a half to prepare for the arrival of my oldest sister, Alicia, and her fiancé, Brian. Their visit was too short but it was full of soaking up the sun, eating good food and enjoying each other’s company.

The past three weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. I am working hard to finish up my semester on a high note and I am so glad for the visitors I have had to help make the stress of school so much less than it usually is this time of semester.

I want to elaborate on all the adventures I went on in the past three weeks in separate posts with all the great pictures I took but I just wanted to remind you that I didn’t forget about you. I’m back now, at least until another adventure comes my way. But I’ll keep you updated on everything!

Influenster: Love VoxBox

I have been an Influenster since January 1, 2012. It was something new to try for a new year. I was following Influenster on Facebook and twitter before I actually signed up. I had no idea what it was but I did my research and so far I love being a part of it.

What is an Influenster?
“Community of trendsetters invited to share their lifestyles and show their influence to qualify for personalized product shipments, special rewards and exclusive deals from the brands they love. Members love testing the latest products, giving insightful feedback, and spreading the word on their favorite finds!”
(Influenster.com)

Earning badges is so easy and who wouldn’t want an opportunity to try new products on the market for free? I did my part – I earned badges, I tweeted, I shared on Facebook. And I finally qualified for the Love VoxBox.

Here it is! A package shipped directly to me with free products.
Gillette Venus and Olay Razors, Kiss Nail Dress, Stash Tea Herbal Tea Sampler, Ghirardeli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar and Truvia Natural Sweetener.

Now that I’ve received my VoxBox, I will get to test all the products, write reviews and hopefully help people decide which products to buy!

I love that Influensters are real people, trying real products and writing real reviews. I’m always skeptical of reviews I read online. I’m afraid the five star products are really just being reviewed by people who work for the company. But now that I’ve received my VoxBox, I know that this is a place where I can rely on the product reviews and hopefully help friends, family and other Influensters decide which products are right for them!

Once I’ve tried all the products, I’ll update this post with reviews of each product in the box!

How to: Pinterest

I was finally invited to join Pinterest. I heard about how amazing it is and I was super excited to finally get an opportunity to see what all the hype is about. I created my account but once I was in, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to use it. I left the site and somewhat forgot about until one of my Facebook friends posted about how addicting it is. I logged in again. Nothing. Why couldn’t I figure this out? It was like I had never used a computer before.

I had to resort to Facebook. I felt like I was missing out on something extraordinary. After just a few minutes, Lauren Luna commented on my status post. One of my Facebook friends and a girl who I’ve had one class with wanted to help me experience greatness. And I held her to it. A few days later, she sent me a Facebook message with directions on how to use Pinterest.

I’ve been using it for five days now. I have created 9 boards and I have made 54 pins. I’m hooked. And I want others to be just as hooked as I am. It’s brilliant. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius! If you want to store all of your favorite things from the internet in one place, then Pinerest is for you. And once you figure it out, it is so easy to use.

Let’s start at the beginning.

Pinterest is still in beta which is a trial period. This means that to use it, you must be invited by someone who has already been invited and who has their own account. Once you are invited, you will be prompted to set up your account. This part is pretty self explanatory. Your standard registration: name, email address, username, password etc. You can link your account to your Facebook which will make following friends and being followed by friends a lot easier.

Pinterest will suggest a “Pin It” button to add to your browser. Doing this will allow you to pin something to one of your boards from any website while surfing the Internet.

Your Pinerest profile is accessible by clicking your picture in the upper right corner. This is where you manage your boards, pins and likes. You can add, delete and repin your boards to keep them organized. Pins are what go on the boards.

You can browse other’s pins on the main page. If you like them, you can repin them and put them in the boards you create or you can like them. You can name your boards whatever you want. I have boards like: recipes, style, hair and beauty etc.

You can also upload your own pins from your files by clicking the plus sign in the upper right corner of the Pinterest page.

Other’s can follow your pins and your pinboards and you can follow other’s. The people who you follow are the ones whose pins will show up on your Pinterest site. You can choose to follow all of someone’s boards or select boards.

This is a basic Pinterest tutorial. I thought it would be a lot easier to explain than it turned out to be but I hope this helps a little bit at least! Please comment if you have any questions :)

Good luck Pinning!

Love Always

Burritos

So, on Thursdays, I have class from 11:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. It is long, exhausting and dreadful. I walked into my third class of the day at 2:00 p.m. and opened my laptop to the email that every college student hopes for. Class was cancelled! This meant that instead of getting home just before 8:00 p.m., I would be finished with classes by 3:30 p.m. The sun would still be up and there would be so much time left in the day! Immediately, I knew I’d be taking a trip to the grocery store to make a good dinner! Something different with a lot of flavor: burritos! :-) Here’s how to do it!

Gather up spices and seasonings.
Flour, Sugar, Onion Powder, Cumin, Ground Red Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Salt & Pepper

Gather the rest of the ingredients.
Rice, Chicken, Flour Tortillas, Green Bell Pepper, Onion, Salsa,
Black Beans, Cheddar or Jalapeño Cheese, Homemade Guacamole, Sour Cream

Mix the seasoning in a small bowl.

Dice ½ of the onion and ½ of the green bell pepper and combine.

Clean and cut the chicken into bite sized pieces.

Cook the chicken in a pan with a dab of oil.
Start your rice and beans, and cook according to the package.

Add the seasoning you mixed, the onion and green bell pepper.
Mix and continue to cook until the onions become translucent.

Voila! The cooking is complete!

Assemble all the fixings to your liking on a warmed tortilla.

Roll your burrito (This is the hard part!)
I ended up eating the first ½ of my burrito with a fork and knife!
ENJOY!

 This recipe is so simple. Use more or less ground red pepper according to the level of spice you like! All the fixings are optional and according to your liking. I love this recipe. I would make it again in a heartbeat. And as for the leftovers: I put all the ingredients over a bed of lettuce and it made for a great lunch during my break at work! :-)

Bon Appetit!

Love Always

Mail Call!

We get tons of emails, text messages, wall posts and retweets everyday. But there is something about opening your mailbox and seeing the familiar handwriting of someone from far away who you haven’t seen in what feels like forever. I opened my mailbox today and saw the usual circulars and other junk mail. I took it out about to throw the whole pile into the trashcan when something special fell from between the pile of junk.

Between the homework, projects and exams, I had completely forgotten that Alison, my best friend, had told me last week to keep an eye out in my mailbox. And let me tell you what, this envelope (which I still didn’t know what could possibly have been inside) came at exactly the right time. I forced myself to wait to open it until I could sit down and properly enjoy the letter from home.

(Sidenote: I go to school nearly 1000 miles from my home, my family and my best friend)

So, when I finally got to the library, which was where I was headed before I decided to take a detour at the mailbox, I threw the envelope down on the desk and another surprise fell out of the envelope.

Those little magnificent dots; the “herpes of arts supplies;” pixie dust that literally just made my day.
GLITTER! ❤
A surprise envelope, with surprise glitter from my best friend. I’m not sure if you’re understanding my excitement. I opened the envelope and of course it all just kept getting better!

A homemade card! With glitter on the outside…

And on the inside. And on top of all of that, she was wishing me a Happy Valentine’s Day with a picture of us from a moment I’m so happy I got to revisit today! Mail is pretty slow around here but this card could’ve come a month after Valentine’s Day and I would’ve been just as excited. I appreciate my friendship with Alison so much. She knows how to brighten my day with some construction paper, glitter and a note from the heart.

The best part of this letter was the fact that I knew I would finally have to force myself to make time in my homework congested life, pick up the phone and catch up with the girl who is always there for me. We may not have been able to actually talk to each other in forever but it’s always right back to where we left off when we talk to each other. We talked about friends, family, boys, and all the other usual stuff. One thing my dear Alison said was, “I can look at my friends I have today and know who will still be there in twenty years.”

And in case you didn’t already know, Alison is one of those friends to me who will be there in twenty years…or eighty years ;-) So what’s the point of all this? Maybe you have a best friend who is having a bad day… or a bad week. Maybe your best friend is 1000 miles away. Or maybe you are sitting next to your best friend right now and you’ll be sitting with him or her again tomorrow. Just don’t forget that a little glitter can brighten your best friend’s day.  ❤

Love Always
