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]
Glad you are alive!!
I love the new header – really fits the blog now. And I almost forgot about that cake batter smoothie. I need to make that asap!
love lulu!!
I liked both the headers. :P
That cake batter smoothie looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it. And I love Lululemon. Their free classes on Sundays was how I first started getting into yoga. Now I am hooked!
Ooh I’d love to win that giftcard I need a new Lulu hoody for Fall! I am also making that chocolate cake batter smoothie ASAP…there are people in my life right now with PMS and IMS ;-)
I didn’t miss any, haha, but I got excited that I thought I had missed some! I am greedy I guess :)
Anyway this is super generous of you, Angela! I would love to win it. I’ve never bought anything there, but I’ve recently dropped about 40 lbs toward my “happy weight” (eating lots of whole and vegan foods!) and am becoming a runner (slowly but surely). Anyways congrats to whoever wins it! <3
I love Lululemon!!!!
I’ve got luv for Lululemon! :) I’m also so grateful that I haven’t missed any of your posts. I love your blog!
love lulu! ^-^
I was a lucky reader who got all of your posts! I can’t wait to try those pumpkin donuts :)
I love my Lulumon workout clothes. Whether I OM’ing, Namaste’ing or
doing burpees in boot camp they help me get me in the groove.
Great contest Angela – oceans of love from the RI coast
thank you for the giveaway! i’d love to win this.
I’ve never heard of Lululemon until I began reading your blog, but this company seems to create the perfect equipment for a new Piyo (pilates/yoga) class that I’m taking in the fall. Glad the cache problem got cleared up!
I’m glad the caching issue didn’t affect my computer – I would have missed out on some lovely blogs over the past week! Also, thanks for hosting this giveaway – so generous!
Love Lululemon!
I wish I could afford lulumon! I love their clothing ! I plan on making the zucchini bread oatmeal this week! Delish!!
Love lulu! I plan on making those tortilla pizzas very very soon :)
Thank you for your posts! You truly inspire me. I’m not happy with my career choice and am determined to change that. I appreciate you sharing your experience during that transition in your life.
Oooh how I love lululemon! I wear my lululemons everyday to work as a server. Needless to say, I could use some money towards a new pair!
PS- I somehow got all of those posts! Yay!
