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 $50 Lululemon gift card and giving it away to one lucky random winner. To enter, simply leave one comment below.
Contest will run until Wednesday. Goodluck!
[Contest Finished]
Thank you! I love Lulu and would love to win this!
Ooh, I would love to win the giveaway! Those Pumpkin Spiced Donuts look delicious by the way.
I love this recap :) And I love that you’ll be changing your header with the seasons!! This one is super cute. Can’t wait to see the fall header!
I haven’t missed a single post! ;)
Is it weird that I only stopped receiving updates at ‘mushroom phyllo rolls’?
I think the new header(?) is really pretty, but it would take some getting used to.
(I also love lululemon!)
I’m glad you’re still with us ;-) and great blog give away!
oh what a great giveaway!! love me some lululemon! i introduced my boyfriend to it and he bough 4 shirts from there this weekend! .. now i just need to introduce him to some of your donuts!
Your food photos are great!
My current lululemon pants have torn at the seams multiple times, so I just sew them back up over and over and over…. I got 50$ towards a new pair at my birthday, another 50$ and I’d be there!
I’ve never worn lululemon, but I’ve heard great things. A gift card would be a great opportunity to try it!
I think I’m most excited to try the pumpkin spice donuts! :)
I love Lululemon! I love their manifesto, vision and mission. It is inspiring the way they reach out to the community and seek to bring everyone together.
I am just starting my own business and do not have much money right now and this would be an awesome birthday present :0)
Thanks Angela!
Now I need a doughnut pan…and maybe some stretchy Lululemon pants to wear after I eat an entire pan of the pumpkin ones?
Thank you for the giveaway, you are so generous. I really need some new sports bras and workout tops so it would be really great to win this.
Woohoo! There’s a new Lulu opening up two blocks away from my apartment!!!
Id love the GC. There stuff is amazing but so expensive!
After seeing those pumpkin spice donuts, I think I may need to buy a donut pan.
Love, love, love Lululemon, and your blog! Great idea for a giveaway!
I love your site and I love lululemon! Thanks Angela!
I would love the lululemon gift card because I don’t own any clothing from them and I’ve been hearing such good things about that brand!
