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 am new to your blog and absolutely LOVE it…..I visit at least once a day!!! LLL is a favorite of mine. Before moving to Italy with the military I visited the Atlanta store and fell in LOVE. We are finally settled in here and I need a little motivation for my daily gym routine!!!!! Could totally use another pair of the “Groove” pant!
Thanks for sharing your career happiness tips. I went back and read your older posts about your journey toward finding career satisfaction and really appreciated your insight. I’m considering some pretty major changes myself, so it’s nice to get some advice from someone who’s been through it. :)
Your post on how to find career happiness hits home right now. I’ve gone a year and half in college, and took a break to work and move closer to my boyfriend’s family. Now, I don’t know what I want to do anymore. I’ve been doing a LOT of soul searching and trying to figure out my interests so I can be as happy as can be in whatever career and lifestyle I choose. I love when you talk about how you overcame unhappiness in your career, and how you discovered your interests. It really helps!
ohmygoodness so many comments!! still, i’d love to win!
Holy cow!!! Guess I am not the only one who would LOVE to rock some Lululemon…they have the cutest stuff!
i’m still addicted to your blog. and sadly, up-to-date so no more stalking your archives! on the bright side, i’ll be much more productive at work and still look forward to your daily posts!
oh, and i made the vegan mac-n-cheese last week and holy YUM.
Such a generous giveaway! I’m making your rosemary chips tonight!
those donuts will scratch the itch so i don’t cave at the CNE and get the really bad-for-you ones. thanks ang!
Lululemon seems to be a uniform here in Vancouver….curious to see what they are all about. Thanks for the great blog
Crazy…I was just about to post a comment on here about what you like to wear when you run on colder days? This will be my first winter in Rochester, NY and I’m starting a new 10k training program tomorrow! That would be fantastic if I were to get a $50 gift card! woohoo! But yes, what DO you like to wear on colder days for a run?
Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to try Lululemon for awhile now. Just haven’t been ready to make the investment yet!
Thank you for the great balance of amazing meal and dessert recipes, as well as healthy living and overall inspirational posts! I am excited to read your blog each day, and read through previous posts too!
As a fellow Canadian, I’m a proud supporter of lululemon as well. I liked your old header, but the new one is a nice change!
I absolutely LOVE LuLuLemon! Fell in love with them in college and 4 years later the same pair of pants are still in near perfect condition! It’s all I wear for running, spin or running errands. Worth every penny but I definitely only buy it with a gift card with our budget.
I heart giveaways!!!
I love Lulu! But more than that, I LOVE OSG! :)
So excited about this giveaway…starting a weekly yoga class in a couple of weeks and this would make the perfect start!
I actually WAS able to see your posts all week! But I am glad you got the kinks worked out…. I know I would start to get worried if you went multiple days in a row without “posting.” =)
I love LULU!
I would love to win the lululemon gift card! There are a few things that I have my eye on so the gift card would really help out! I love lululemon!!
