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.

Ooh ooh ooh! Pick me pick me pick me! :)
Love love love Lululemon! But even more so I love your blog. I have been an avid reader of it for over a year, and it has had such a positive impact on my life and my health:)
I just started a yoga practice this past year and would love an item of good quality, Lululemon yoga pants!
Love Lululemon, and your blog! Keep up the great work.
Glad you’re “back”!
I’d LOVE this!! They just opened a store in Richmond, VA and I can’t get enough! Thanks Angela! Xo
I saw all those posts come up… hmm…
THanks for doing a giveaway!
This is awesome! I’m always much more motivated to work out when I have cute gear to wear!
Your recipes this week were amazing. And yay for giveaways!
I like the new header! Clean and simple.
Hey Allison,
Thanks for being such an inspiration every day. As a part-time law student with a full time job, it’s hard to remember to take care of myself from the inside out, but I find solace in your story and in your posts. Meal preparation and early morning yoga have really changed my life.
Namaste!
ooo! I love Lululemon! Favorite athletic store!
I’m relatively new to blogging, and I find great inspiration in your posts. Your photography is beautiful and food is simple yet elegant. Keep up the great posts!
Those doughnuts look amazing! Everything looks great, actually, but I’m really craving a doughnut now….
Silly me, ANGELA, must have been focusing on your last post :)
I LOVE Lululemon! Walking in the doors puts a smile on my face….even if I can’t always afford their amazing gear.
Fingers crossed! Your blog is great, btw!
I would love some Lululemon yoga gear!
Love the new heading banner – very suiting :D
Love reading your blog! I just found it a few weeks ago. I have tried a few recipes and can’t wait to try more.
