Happy Friday Night!
I had a proud moment this week that I forgot to tell you about!
I was really tempted to go tanning- yes tanning bed – before our vacation. I kept thinking, man my skin is so pale and would look better with a tan. I almost went this week…I was so close to going…and then I made myself re-read the Love Your Skin Movement. That was all I needed to kick myself in the butt for even thinking I needed a tanning bed!
I think women especially need constant reminders that it is OK to be PALE- or whatever colour you are supposed to be!!!
Whew that feels good to get out. :)
Dinner was what I like to call- Use Up As Much Food In The Fridge As Possible! ;)
Everything But The Kitchen Sink Salad
- Romaine
- Avocado
- Red Pepper
- Chickpea and Spinach dish
- English Cuke
- 3 Minute Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- Better Than Bottled Balsamic Vinaigrette
I also had a bowl of spaghetti because we had to use up a bottle of sauce!
Totally uncomfortably full right now. Volume food overload…oops.
It is time for another HNRU! This is starting to be one of my favourite ways to wind down the work week. I hope you enjoy some of my favourite health links from the past week.

I was telling Eric about our stay in Orlando (we are staying at Caitlin’s for two nights!) and Eric was asking about Caitlin’s husband. He goes, ‘Oh he is the baker, right?’ and I said, ‘No, that is Kath’s husband!’ lol…it was cute. It’s really funny because he can match up several bloggers to their blog names…I always joke that we should have a husband/boyfriend blog trivia show down.
Tonight’s question- how would your significant other (or whoever you talk blogs to in your life) do in a blog trivia? Do people in your life know much about the blogs you read each day? Do you talk to them about it?
Sometimes, I start telling people (like my hairdresser) about blogs…and I am always baffled when people tell me they didn’t even know food blogs existed! It’s hard to believe, but true. ;) I would guess maybe .05% of the population knows about food blogs.
My friend is coming over in a few minutes to do a manicure on my nails…very excited for this! I never paint my nails anymore being a baker and all, so it will be fun to have them done for a couple weeks. Not sure if I will have time to blog tomorrow morning…if not, see you in the Sunshine State!
The tanning bed is my only vice. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, try to be healthy in all ways…but still stuck on tanning. I know it’s not good though!
High five to you!!! You’re very smart for not going tanning. I’m going on a “mystery vacation” with my husband on Sunday. He’ll only tell me that it’s 75 degrees, and I refuse to go tanning.
I have a very valid reason. In December I was diagnosed with Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. I KNOW it was because I’ve gone tanning. I use sunblock outside but not in the tanning booths. Luckily the dr says that he got it all. I sure hope so!
I’m going to try getting a spray tan. Hopefully it will look good! Fake baking is NOT worth the surgery, stress, and life-long effects that it brings. I’m only 28 and have a lot of life to live!!! Let’s bring pale back in style! :o)
Have fun on your vacation!
My fiance is learning a ton nowadays about blogs and all the ladies and gents behind them.
We had dinner the other night with his brother and we ended up talking about blogs for over an hour. His brother had NO IDEA about the world of blogs so it was so fun to chat with him about it.
Haha- I’ve given Matt a blog trivia challenge and he’s actually pretty good!! He knows way more than I’d think :)
