Is it Monday Already?


My weekends off work seem to get shorter and shorter.  I had a fun couple of days with my bae (inside joke as to why I called him that) and some great friends.  Saturday night we had some drinks at Mossy's with Mitch and Sarah.  It was nice to catch up with them and have some fun.  


 Sarah and I had to get a Cosmopolitan because that's what Carrie Bradshaw would've done.  Yea we are a little obsessed with Sex and the City.  The boys don't understand.


So this is Moving Week!!  We move into out apartment starting Wednesday....AHHHHHHHH...I can't wait!  It can't get here soon enough.  I have a lot a lot a lot to do but I am ready to get our own place.  


Its been several months since my hair has been colored and the red still looks vibrant...its because I use salon quality shampoo and conditioner and my stylist is the BOMB!!  For real though she is literally the best person EVER!!!  

I will leave you with some inspiration/motivation for all my Advocare peeps:
This is motto for the week...I will have my hair in a bun and the music cranked up and get our stuff into the apartment.

Fall is here!!

Yea so I have been a complete slacker on this blog thing.  Life has been CRAZY lately.  I recently went to to 8-hour shifts at work, so I'm basically working like every day and between school and working out I barely have time for sleep.  Plus we are moving into an apartment next week!!

Between the craziness of life, I am NOT gonna let fall slip away from me this year.  This is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of year.  Cooler weather is here and PUMPKIN stuff is everywhere!!  I just got a new shipment from Advocare.  Their pumpkin meal replacement shake is pretty tasty!!  Also I purchased a new shirt that looks like fall and is the Texas Longhorn orange!!  



An Advocare friend turned me on to this concoction:


Hot Orange Spark and Pumpkin Pie Spice is like Fall in a cup!!  I also tried orange Spark and sugar-free apple cider powder and cinnamon.  It was like the bomb dot com!!

Also fall time means Cowboys football games.  Of course my little Molly is a Dallas Cowboys fan.  Oh and look the Cowboys tight end drinks Spark!!  Heck yes!!  I am also following the Longhorns this year....maybe to catch a glimpse of the McConaughey on the sideline  <3 Austin <3


This weekend will be full of packing and getting things cleaned and ready to move.  Now it's time to get to work!!  See yalls later!!

Pumpkin Season Is HERE!


As most of you know, fall is my favorite time of year!  September - November is my favorite months out of the whole year.  Halloween and Thanksgiving are my most favorite holidays EVER!  I so ready to put pumpkin in everything.  This morning I made some breakfast Quinoa with Pumpkin!  It was pretty delicious.  I think next time I will add some Splenda or honey to sweeten it up a little bit.  Here is the recipe I used: 




Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Quinoa

1/2 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of salt
2-4 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions:

Bring milk and water to a boil in a small to medium sized saucepan.  Add quinoa, cover, reduce heat to simmer, and let cook 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.  Uncover and fluff with a fork, then stir in the pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.  Taste and adjust any amounts to your liking.  Divide into two bowls (or eat it all if you are a fatty like me).  Top with desired amount of pecans.  


So Adam and I went to the gym last night and had the WHOLE gym to ourselves.  We decided to do a photoshoot since we kinda matched and didn't plan it. 



 Trying to be like Chris and Heidi Powell, doing our side by side "we hot" look.  Would have been better if we didn't smile and had serious looks on our face.  #relationshipgoals
