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]
Wow, I love the new look of your site! Thank you Angela for the daily inspiration!
Would love the chance to win! This is my first post and I’ve been following your site for over a year! I love it! ;)
I guess I’m lucky because I didn’t miss any of your posts! I’ve heard so much about Lululemon but have never bought anything! I’d love to though :)
Haha… I don’t know what I would do without my daily glow! (thankfully i was one of those who was not effected by the computer snafu).
And yes please! How generous of you to donate a $50 gift card! Loves it!
I will have to make those rosemary olive oil chips!
I love lululemon! They make the best workout gear ever!
I love lululemon! :)
I LOVE Lululemon! :)
Glad you’re back. Loving the recipes, keep ’em coming!
Luckily I didn’t miss any of these! I even made the tortilla pizzas over the weekend and they were fabulous!
All the things that pave the way to my heart are in this blog post: chocolate, pizza, zucchini bread, and LULU!!! Oh dear me.
Hmmm the header seems pretty and cute! But then…I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to seeing the o.g. one, but that one seems more like you! haha. the veggies are cute, but your current one is so unique!! And it’s just “oh, SHE glows….” :P And I have exactly one lululemon item and it’s probably zeee best!
I was just looking at doughnut pans this morning. Those two doughnut recipes are a sign that I need to go back and buy one.
Since losing some weight, I have no workout clothes that actually fit :( I would love to be able to show off my progress with gyms clothes that not only fit- but make me feel good too!
I just got the go-ahead from my physical therapist to start exercising again after a knee surgery. I’d love to be able to buy some new gear to get motivated!
All of those recent recipes look incredible!
Planning a lulu visit in 3 weeks…a gift card would be a great addition to the trip!
: ) is there any store better than lululemon?! great giveway! – loved the post on careers last weeks… as always you were very inspirational! have a great week!
I think a new top would really help with my 10K training. On another note, I am obsessed with baked donuts because of your posts. My kids are slowly warming up and I’m certain I will win them over. I think I’ll try the pumpkin for back to school lunchboxes.
I LOVE your blog and lululemon!
