Strawberry Poppy Seed Crisp with Lavender Honey Cream

May 21, 2014 by Melissa

Strawberry Poppy Seed Crisp with Lavender Honey Cream is a delightfully fresh and simple way to use the best berries of the season. Sweet, oaty and floral flavors combine for a beautiful spring or summer treat.  My husband is still traveling. So I’m taking this opportunity to rent movies that I kept saying I’d watch but then never did… So far I’ve made my way through: About … [Read more...]

Dark Chocolate Cherry Granola Bars

May 19, 2014 by Melissa

Dark Chocolate Cherry Granola bars are no-bake, gluten free, vegan, super duper simple and way tasty. The classic combo of dark chocolate and dried cherries is only enhanced by the hint of sea salt and the savory sweet combo of peanut butter and oats. They're hearty and make a perfect, healthy snack.  My husband has been sending me pictures of flamingoes. Live ones. Outside his hotel … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 51

Fabulously Fit Friday new Saucony

As promised, I started the 8 week workout challenge (Bikini Series) and we are just finishing up week 3. I’m really surprising myself because I’m finishing everyday’s challenges, almost to 100% completion. The only days I don’t do 100% are the days that I’ve substituted the cardio or toning for a comparable class at my gym. I’m having tons of fun and it gave me a great excuse to buy new running … [Read more...]

Lavender Lemonade

Lavender Lemonade (treatswithatwist.com)

Lavender Lemonade is an easy blender lemonade recipe that will have you sipping thick, tart, summery lemonade in no time. Lavender adds a floral flavor note that you can't put your finger on, but you can't get enough of!  I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day.  I honestly spent mine in "day after a wedding" mode... i.e. dead exhausted from not sleeping because I ate cake … [Read more...]

Cookie Dough Cashew Butter

May 7, 2014 by Melissa

Cookie Dough Cashew Butter is the perfect treat for everyone who loves eating cookie dough raw...except it's nut butter, healthier than cookie dough, and perfect to spread on everything (especially spoons)!  I always wished I could be one of those women that hears good news about a friend and is nothing but 100% happy for them. Is it terrible that I’m not? It’s not that I’m not … [Read more...]

Post-Travel Skin Recovery

May 4, 2014 by Melissa

I've been driving and flying all over lately. I bounced from Memphis, to St. Louis, to Colorado (all driving), then back to Memphis (flying). Whew. Crazy. I had an amazing trip. And I love traveling. I'm really comfortable traveling. What, with all that stuff in my lap, who couldn't be comfortable? [Let's see here, I have a Lululemon scarf just in case I get cold or need a "pillow", a new book … [Read more...]

Carrot Cake Jars are a new, adorable take on individual-sized cakes. Everyone will think these are too cute. They're super easy to put together and too tasty for words. Carrot cake is baked up, stamped out, then layered with cream cheese frosting and topped with nuts and coconut.  Perfect for Spring!    Hey all! Just popping in really quickly to share an adorable recipe. I'm … [Read more...]

Sprinkles of Real Life

April 27, 2014 by Melissa

Make up make up!! Yay! Beauty-aholics unite! [Do we get matching rings? I hope so!] So, I’ve been restocking my nail polish supply ever since I got rid of every single bottle I owned. And it’s pretty fun because every season starts with new colors. This season, I’m totally into the pastels. Which is crazy because I always loved jewel tones, only had hot pink nails, and couldn’t stand lilac … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday

April 25, 2014 by Melissa

[my Spin class takes it outdoors on sunny days] I know we haven’t checked in with a Fabulously Fit Friday in awhile, so I wanted to make sure to do that this week! As you’ve probably learned, New Years Resolutions don’t stick far past February, and as we talked about before, setting new goals every 6-8 weeks is the way to go. Always set new goals, reward the ones that have passed, and never … [Read more...]

Mango Coconut Ice Pops

April 23, 2014 by Melissa

Mango Coconut Ice Pops are an easy, dairy-free, creamy ice pop, filled with flavors that make you think of sunshine and summertime! How refreshing!  When I was registering for my wedding gifts, I made a conscious decision to register for only what we really wanted and needed. I knew I absolutely did not want to be one of those people who ends up saying, “we got this as a wedding … [Read more...]
