SWEET SUMMER

July 2, 2014 by jessica Leave a Comment

Unfortunately it has become evident that weekends of beer and pizza crept up on me—and spending Sundays in sweatpants gives me a false sense of security that my clothes fit juuuust fine. In any case, I’m back on the Weight Watchers bandwagon, counting points and spending my evenings with Jillian Michaels. I’ve set a goal to lose 10 pounds by the time we leave for Belgium next month and an opportunity to partner with Kohl’s on a wellness post was the extra motivation I needed to begin making healthier choices.

I really wanted to purchase a Fitbit (David Sedaris has one, after all) to keep track of my activity and sleep patterns, but the gadget was sold out at every nearby store. I opted for the next best thing: one heck of a blender for making smoothies. This thing crushes ice like no other (a far cry from the blender I already owned that barely nicked a cube) and makes smoothies in a snap. The ingredients for this blueberry smoothie are below and you can head on over to Pinterest for more healthy smoothie recipes (and a few indulgent options for those splurge days).

INGREDIENTS

1 cup blueberries
1 large banana
1 tablespoon flax seed
handful of spinach
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 water
3 or 4 ice cubes
a sprig of mint for garnish, if desired

Even though I’ve already shed some of the holiday weight, this loose dress is still the only thing that feels comfortable. It’s just a bonus that there are cats printed all over it … which some people have mistaken for skulls. I don’t see it, but now it’s basically the dress version of a Rorschach test. Which do you see?

Mini Moments

December 31, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

I can’t believe another year has passed! Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from the last month of 2013:

  • Decked the halls
  • Embraced the snowy weather in a pair of bright wellies from Joules (see the post here)
  • Baked dozens of holiday cookies
  • Drove to my parents’ house in a winter wonderland
  • Prepared for holiday celebrations with confetti poppers
  • Tucked mini bottles of champagne inside holiday packages
  • Unpacked countless boxes of glittery Christmas ornaments
  • Wrote holiday greetings with the prettiest fountain pen from Parker
  • Danced through the holiday season in tartan flats

I don’t have any intention of leaving the house on NYE, but I’ll wear this If my plans go awry and we find ourselves someplace other than our apartment. It’s not sparkly. It’s not over the top. But, it’s so very “me” and I can wear it to work during the day. What are your plans for the final hours of 2013?

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
