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]
I’ve just begun working out this August and I’m trying to include the change as part of my new lifestyle, but it does get hard sometimes. Some cute excuses to workout (cough, new workout clothes) would be so helpful :P
Thanks! Love your blog :)

Lululemon!
Lulu! Wow great giveaway!
Oh my goodness, I’m totally late for this party! I’m thankful I haven’t had any trouble reading your posts. Hope everythings all fixed!
Everything looks amazing as always! Would LOVE the gift card to help motivate me with my “getting back on track” workouts after having a baby!
Love your blog!
I’ve been in desperate need of some new yoga pants! Would love to win :)

I’ve never been able to buy anything at lululemon – this could be the start of a dangerous habit!

Yum….pumpkin spice donuts and lululemon!
Never shopped here but I’m in dire need of some new workout clothes as my pants now fall off while I run! (My blessing is also my curse!)
Great giveaway!!! I, too, LOVE lulu but haven’t bought anything in so long from lulu bc i’m on a budget! I have been doing alot of online window shopping only :(( and it would be nice to actually head inside a store and buy something! :))
I love your new header! I love how clean it is! Plus I love looking at fresh vegetables! Glad your blog troubles are fixed!!!
love lululemon!
I love a trip to Lululemon anytime I am in a workout rut. It is the perfect pick-me-up to me motiviated and back to the gym!
I will miss your smile on the header everyday, but I like the new photo too!
Gotta try the potato rosemary chips! They sound delish!
I can’t believe how much blogs like yours influence my life! I use your recipes and am much more thoughtful of my health and well-being since entering the world of bloggin!
LOOK at all of the comments ! You’re practically a celebrity ! (even when you’re not giving away $50 from my favourite store! ) glow on, glow on!
