What I Love Wednesdays

Another week gone by, and I'm posting late once again. In my defense, I had to work yesterday... and make lasagna... for six people... and clean the house... so yeah. ;) I know, way too many excuses! It really just comes down to the fact that, by the time bedtime rolled around, I didn't feel like staying up late to write a post. Sorry! I hope you understand!

At least late is better than never, right? Enjoy!


1. If you were curious about caffeine content in popular coffee drinks, check this out. Very interesting!

2. This site offers a cool, easy way to create workouts that are tailored specifically to your needs!

3. I'm always on the lookout for ways to heal yourself through food. This is just another one of those awesomely beneficial lists!

4. Just because. Animals are cool!

5. Try this fun cooking chart out when you're planning next week's meals.

6. I am so excited this book is out now!! I can't wait to read it... you should read it with me!

7. Having trouble getting your metabolism to cooperate? Check out these secrets.

8. Be inspired.

9. I know I've posted Cassey's videos before, but I can't get enough! Here is a great Pilates cardio workout for the summer; it will make you sweat!

10. Mmm, this delightfully delectable "ice cream" cake would be perfect for all this hot weather we're having.

What I Love Wednesdays

I know, I know. I skipped my "What I Love Wednesdays" post last week, but in all fairness, it was a rather busy week. You see, I did this funny thing on Sunday... I graduated from college!! Yep, it's official. I am now a proud owner of a Bachelor of Music degree! My diploma is hanging up in the living room, but it seems so surreal. I'm really done with school?! Hard to believe. Anyway, let me share some really great things with you today. I'm super excited! I hope you are too.


1. I adore this blog! It is so inspirational, especially when you're having a bad day or need a little motivation to get things done.

2. Larabars are amazing. But this raw recipe for homemade Larabars? Yeah, it might be even more amazing (and cheaper!).

3. How's that New Year's fitness resolution coming? I recommend trying out pilates! And you can even do it in the comfort of your own home!

4. Like Foodgawker, except vegan!

5. A little controversial, I'm sure, but this is hilarious.

6. It might not technically be pumpkin season, but in my mind, it's always time for pumpkin.

7. The newest addition to my cleaning supplies. With 4 dogs and 3 cats, this is such a lifesaver!

8. New challenge: making this vegan.

9. I have become fascinated with this concept lately. I'll let you know how my own experience turns out.

10. Baby birds hatched in the nest on our front porch!! They're so cute.
