My Day



my gym partner suggested trying this rice...let me know if you  have ever tried it 


I found black beans that aren't in a salty can! yey..more brownies soon!

Good Evening! (Dracula voice) lol ..so today I used the blow dry technique I learned on you tube and it worked =) pretty amazing what you can learn on youtube! I had lunch with a friend at Laurel Tavern in Studio City, which is more of a bar in the evenings. I ordered the artichoke and a  chopped salad with no cheese, it had corn which made it kinda sweet and yummy. After lunch I rushed to the gym but my gym buddy was stuck in traffic so I suggested we go to the park for a nice walk around the lake instead. I was looking forward to the gym, especially since I missed class on Tuesday, but sometimes you really need to go with the flow.During class I don't really get to talk to my friend, this way we saw some scenery and had a nice chat. I came home starving, I had dinner plans at 9 but I couldn't wait. I heated up some homemade pasta sauce leftover from the night before (parents dinner) measured a cup of whole wheat pasta and boiled it while I ate the fatoush salad. I added lentils to it to add some iron. honestly the dressing was the same one I had made the other day :/ and I had to force myself to eat it =( Without adding cheese or salt...the pasta tasted pretty dull so it wasn't even worth "cheating" ... I found one that is 100% whole wheat...I know now there's this whole wheat allergy thing going on but I figured it's better than white pasta which is what my mom made...

Got to the Finish Line

I am finally done with my spring cleaning! What an empowering feeling this has been! So my last 3 categories were clothes, jewelry and pictures. Clothes surprisingly did not take me that long. I promised myself I will do this once every 6 months. I still am getting rid of stuff that I even kept. Let's say I'm going out for a night out and I try on some shoes and they just don't fit right anymore, or look outdated...out they go. It feels so good to only have things I love and getting ready is so simple. As far as jewelry, it took me an entire day but well worth it. I found some beautiful pieces I had completely forgotten about. The pictures also took an entire day. I sorted them by year and just filed them and put the folders away in a cute box I had. I got rid of duplicates and many other pics like scenery or something that I really didn't care for. I plan on going in and maybe making albums or clearing out more pics but I'm a little pooped for now. The jewelry felt...

The F word

Like most women today I let my work take over my life and didn't bother finding my soul mate until I was near my 40s.  Sounds good right? Um not really, men suck these days so I got super lucky is the real deal. We both knew when we met that our goal was to have a baby ASAP, after marriage. It was like a fairy tale well sort of in my fairy tale the princess went to therapy. I quickly got pregnant within a couple months which was great. Cut to my daughter turning almost four and us trying to get pregnant again. I realize this is a hush-hush topic for many but why? It's not easy and it's a crappy feeling finding out all the time that you are again "not pregnant". I love doing research maybe it's the sociologist in me but I learned so much about my own body and ovulation etc. Our bodies are seriously the most fascinating little machines and there is so much going on. I tried all those little ovulation tests which honestly drove me crazy along with taking early pr...
