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 love Lululemon! What a great giveaway!
Luckily I could still see everything – those pumpkin spice doughnuts are making me want Fall asap! :-)
Lululemon love! I’ve got an eye on those ta-ta tamers so I hope to win!
I constantly lust over the lulu store in my local mall but I’ve never manage to justify buying something there with a poor student’s budget. This would be awesome!
I love lululemon but it’s not typically in my price range unless I’m able to find some good clearance items. Winning this would be awesome!
I always love reading all you new ideas and thank you for the chance to win something from lulu!
Yay for lululemon. I’m new to your blog and had my first overnight oats today. Yummy!!!
OSG is my favorite cooking/baking blog! Would love to win the Lulu gc!
Have never tried Lululemon but have heard nothing but good things!
I read your posts everyday before I go to work… it’s a good way to motivate me to wake up–and get my glow going! Thank you for the work you put into this. ALSO! I would love some Lululemon gear! :)
I’ve always wanted to shop at Lululemon!
love the new header, and thanks for the chance to win a lulu gift card!
So many new posts…going to try the rosemary olive oil sea salt chips tonight! And lulu – whoohoo!
Would love some new work out gear but can’t afford lululemon on a student budget!
:) Leilani is crazy for Lululemon :) nuff said
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m glad the blog is fixed :)
I stumbled across your fabulous blog a few months ago when I flirted with the idea of becoming vegan. Thank you so much for making my switch to a plant based diet (& losing 20lbs!!) that much easier. I always look forward to trying out the recipes you post… though I can never get my food to look as good as your lovey photos, everything is always delicious!
This give away is fantastic! I absolutely love Lululemon, though being a broke college student it’s a little out of my price range. I’m running my first marathon soon and would be super ecstatic if I could cross that finish line rockin’ some Lulu crops.
Thanks again for being so inspiring.

I am a yoga teacher, and have been teaching in the same ratty yoga clothes for the last two years. It is time to look chic!
Lululemon? I hear the clothes are fantastic, but my budget does not allow it!
Love the blog – have it bookmarked and check it religiously every morning at work ;)
