Weekly Inspiration

This week has been crazy. With work, with catching up on sleep, with organization... the list goes on.  I'm the type of person who needs 8 hours of sleep. Not to out my inner loser, but, I'm in bed by 9:30/10 every night. Without enough sleep, my body is run down, I'm super grumpy, and you don't want to talk to me. After traveling to Florida last weekend and then celebrating cinco de mayo, I was having one of those weeks. I was feeling sorry for myself when I realized that I just needed a nap and to turn my bad-ittude around. End pit party here.

I saw this:


And, then, saw the weather and realized, it's almost SUMMER!


And with a few good nights sleep, a lot of exercise, and healthy foods ... I'm finally feel reenergized and back to normal.

I also wanted to share one of my most favorite & delicious recipes with you. I've made this going to a date-night with my friend Julia, and it's super amazing, I promise.


Cucumber & Avocado Salad with Lime, Mint and feta. Find the recipe here


I hope everyone is having a great week!

  2. I totally get what you mean about sleep girl! The max I have gotten in the past 7 months has been 7 hours. (I have a baby....so no sleep). My average is 6 hours. Boo.
