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]
You have totally changed my way of eating – – and I feel great! Lululemon is my most favorite choice of outfit… as soon as I get home from work, off come the business casual clothes, and on go the Wunder Under crops or the Groove pants! :)
I would love to try lululemon clothes!
My local lululemon store has a goals group, which I started meeting with. It has been a positive influence and is helping me achieve my goal of beating the binge eating which I know you are familiar with (and your posts on the topic are great help as well).
When I start feeling like I am going to fall into old habits and I don’t know any where to go b/c my mind is playing tricks on me ~ I read an article from your blog and feel uplifted and empowered. Thank you. I hope you know that you are changing peoples lives w/ the help of the Lord.
So glad I got power back from the hurricane in time to see this giveaway!!
I was there yesterday & really could use a new pair of shorts!!! That would about cover the cost :-)) Love your blog, btw, very inspiring
Thanks for reposting this and the giveaway! Can’t wait!
Always love Lulu Lemon!
Love your blog and lulu :)
Hi Angela,
I haven’t missed your posts. Good old Google Reader. :)
I love your recipes, I love yoga, and I love Lululemon!
Best,
Georgina
I love lululemon! Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!
This is so generous of you. I really hope that I win (I am addicted to Lululemon and Ivivva!) I was able to read some of these posts (I missed the tea giveaway- Oh no!) but I re-read them today. I am seriously considering making those toffee bars or a flavour of donuts. They look scrumptious! When I saw you write it in your twitter status I was instantly jealous and knew that I HAD to have the recipe!!
I didn’t miss any? They all came into my inbox!
I would LOVE to win this, I’m going to lulu on Thursday!!!!!! First time in over 2 years!
I love lululemon!
thank you for the contest.
This reminds me that I need to make doughnuts! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m glad I was still able to read your blog daily! I would’ve been le sad!
Oh how I love Lulu! Am so glad to catch up on some posts. Will be creating chocolate cake batter smoothie PRONTO! :)
I am loving these amazing recipes – tasty and perfect for a vegan (and all our easy to modify for GF folks). Cannot wait to try the cheese sause and protein pizza….mouth is watering now!!! This would be the perfect reward after a hard workout. Thanks so much, you’re a doll!
I didn’t think you died :)
