Last week, my best friend Allison asked me if everything was ok because she hadn’t seen a blog post from me in a few days and was getting worried.
‘…not that there is anything wrong with you taking a break though!!’, she sweetly added.
Allison is a great friend.
I knew there was a major issue if she wasn’t seeing new blog posts because I hadn’t taken a day off blogging in over a week. I figured she wasn’t the only one having problems, so I asked you guys on Twitter and Facebook and just as I suspected many of you hadn’t seen any new posts since my Thrive post on August 14th. Some of you thought I died. I’m sorry to disappoint. ;)
Eric and I were able to pinpoint the issue to some cache settings in PHP that were changed the same day of my Thrive post. Basically, it was caching entire pages on some of your computers (saving in memory) so new posts wouldn’t appear; however many of you weren’t impacted at all. We removed these changes last week, so hopefully everything is running smoothly now.
I guess I can’t ask you who is still having problems seeing new posts though can I? ;)
Without further ado, In Case You Missed It…
1) Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Spiced Doughnuts
I dusted off my doughnut pans and cranked open my first can of pumpkin, albeit prematurely.
The hit of Eric’s birthday party. I was left with a few scraps!
3) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glazed Doughnuts
One of the craziest things I’ve ever made.
Stove-top, old fashioned easy cheeze sauce that comes together in minutes flat.
5) High Protein Tortilla Pizzas
I really did intend on saving Eric one…
6) Athens Honeymoon Photography
I’ve got the travel bug and you’re coming with me!
7) Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie
You missed a spot.
Another way to sneak greens into your breakfast without tasting them.
9) Stuffed Mushroom Phyllo Roll & Mango Kale Salad
The beginning of my obsession with Phyllo.
10) Chocolate Chunk Toffee Bars
I made these for Eric when he was suffering from IMS.
11) How To Create Career Happiness FAQ
For a nice follow-up post (and great discussion!), check out this Graduation Fears that I posted a while back.
Out with the old, in with the new. Boy, were there mixed opinions on my header change!
Since many of you weren’t able to see my last Feel Good Tea Giveaway post, I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway today.
In honour of my favourite Canadian athletic store, I’m purchasing a $50 Lululemon gift card and giving it away to one lucky random winner. To enter, simply leave one comment below.
Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
I’m so glad I wasn’t missing your posts because then I wouldn’t have had the chance yet to try your zucchini oatmeal – which was DELISH! I’ve never shopped at lululemon – going to check them out now!
Ohhhhh how I love lululemon. Just not their prices! So a $50 card would be amazing.
I need those doughnuts in my life!
I love all of your recipes!!! Thank you for being such an inspiration!! <3
Love lulu and your blog! Would be great to have some sweet new yoga gear:)
I would love the gift card!
I just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you have been to me. I’m starting the preliminary steps to follow my own voice and do what I truly want to do with my life. It’s going to be hard, but I think I have something worthwhile to say and I want the world to hear it!
Have a healthy Monday!

Lululemon has put a large dent in my bank account so this gift card would be great!! I am also DYING to make your donuts/toffee bars! Yuumm
I “need” some new speedy running pants for the Nike Women’s Marathon in SF on Oct. 16th. It’s not my first marathon but it’s the first one I’m running for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada! If anyone wants to donate to this worhty cause here’s the link to my fundraising page: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=1125155
That cake batter smoothie looks delicious! When I get home from school (and have access to a blender again!) I’m totally going to make that!
So many great posts that people nearly missed!
I made those pumpkin mini doughnuts and my coworkers & friends went NUTS over them! So good! I can’t wait to make the chocolate chip ones next!
Everything looks even better the second time around. And your doughnuts just motivated me to add a doughnut pan to my Amazon.com cart!!
A lululemon store just opened up down the street from me. I’ve been wanting to shop there for forever! Love the new header and glad you and Eric got the technical issue figured out!
I love Lululemon! Unfortunately on a student budget it doesn’t really make sense to buy anything from there. I would love to win a gift card :)
Fun giveaway Angela, and thank you for the updates on your posts. The only thing that didn’t change for me was the blog header, but I can see it now :)
OMG! I thought you were taking a break too! Some of the posts I did see but most I missed:(
This is an awesome give away!
I love your site & have been dying to try out Lululemon, but my budget just hasn’t allowed for it yet : o)
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Lululemon! Hopefully, I’ll win and get a much needed pair of new yoga pants.
I hear so much about Lulemon, but they’re too expensive for me. I’d love to try their products.
woohoo new workout clothes! I found that manually clearing my cache helped me to see your posts in the past when I’ve been missing them. Also, I made the cake batter smoothie but I found it to be kind of runny/watery, I was a little disappointed. Maybe next time I’ll let it soak with chia seeds to give it a little more body.
