Balance Is Beauty

Hi Bloggies!!

How do you like my new theme??!!! As I have mentioned before I am a 27 year old woman trapped in a 5 year old princess inspired world – I heart pink so much – it brings me so much joy! Let me know what you think – I am thinking it may be a bit more difficult to read – but right now the abundance of pink is overriding any doubts I may have about the new theme – so I need your honest opinions In other Blog news I have finally added “My Story” under the “About Me” tab – so check it out! It was a very emotional and personal post and I struggled about posting it or not, but then after talking to my homegirl Alex I knew it was something I needed to do. If my story can inspire or help even one person this whole blogging experience will have been worth it!

Moving on … Guess what I awoke to this morning!!!!

An almost empty AB jar – you know what that means!!! OATS IN A JAR!!! (your eyes are not decieving you, that is actually an empty jar – my camera died on me this morning). I have actually been making quinoa oats and they are TO DIE FOR. I am staying away from gluten – due to a sensitivity and since quiona is gluten-free these are perfect. Honestly, I think I may like these better – TRY THEM you won’t be disappointed. My jar included 1/3c of oats, 1/4cup pumpkin, 1/2 nanner, stevia, crack  CINNDOGGIE (aka Cinnamon). CAUTION glass jar gets INSANELY hot when hot oats add to it – my burnt finger is begging you to believe me!

Much of my day was spent tweeting , blog reading, snacking, reading, re-reading and then reading again these beauties:

My notes for my OPTIMUM NUTRITION FOR THE MIND course. I wrote the final exam for the course this evening – I think it went o.k. This course was SO interesting – we learned about mental illness and how nutrition and vitamin and mineral supplementation cause reverse the effects. Often nutritional/vitmain/mineral deficiences/imbalances can be disguised as mental illness and when the deficiency/imbalance is corrected the symptoms disappear. Amazing isn’t it? If you want further information, email me (balanceisbeauty@rogers.com) and I would be happy to provide you with the resources!

In order to OPTIMIZE my NUTRITION for my MIND I fueled up with a huge salad before leaving:

Organic Spring mix, tomato, cauliflower, 1/2 avocado, and that big ugly blog ontop is actually a new recipe I tried out mock chicken salad - it was a very intersting combination of pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, cucumber, celery and some spices – check it out! I made it yesterday and it actually tasted better today after sitting in the fridge overnight!

Well lovies it is currently 110 AM which is WAY past my bedtime – my pillow is calling my name!

I’ll be back tomorrow!!
