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]
Love lulu! Thanks so much for the give away!
Lululemon! I’m currently living in Australia… and while they DO have lulu… it’s marked up by about 30% making it EVEN MORE out of my price range! haha… But I still covet everything there. :)
I made a smoothie for my vegetable AND fruit hating father in law this morning… eventually I’ll sneak in some greens!
Wow, yet another giveaway on you blog!
Your generous spirit is appreciated.
The Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie MUST be one of ur best creations! seriously amazing!
Ooh, what a great surprise. Thanks so much!
I have just started a yoga practice after many years of wanting to try it, but feeling too intimidated. Some new yoga gear would really be nice!
I made your pumpkin cinnamon donuts last week for a BBQ- served them out of a paperbag. BIggest hit ever!
Well, I didn’t have any problems seeing your posts, but I DO like the fun recap today.
And I’m in dire need of new yoga leggings! It would be amazing to win the gift card!
:-)
What a nice giveaway! I’d love to win :)
I cannot wait to try those toffee bars! When I started making your cookie dough blizzards, my partner said he’d love a Heath bar blizzard…I think this recipe with some banana soft-serve (and some minor tweaking) might do it, eh?!
Despite my love of running and yoga, I’ve never owned any Lululemon, so that GC would be AMAZING! : )
I love the new header! and a gift card would be great!
I am a new reader, so this recap post is awesome!! And so are you for having such an awesome giveaway. Love lululemon!
Your blog motivates me everyday to continually explore the choices I can make in my life. THANK YOU!
Your blog is awesome! I’d love to try out Lululemon!
This is great! I had greens in my smoothie by adding a couple of handfuls of spinach along with some berries and almond milk. The bars look great.
I lurve lululemon!!!
I love your blog, Angela! Your photography is amazing!
Thanks for the recap! Somehow I missed some but not all of those posts. Those Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Spiced Doughnuts look amaaaaazing.
I live in Japan and I don’t think we have Lululemon? Sounds like I am missing out :( It would be so nice to have some cute workout outfits to cheer me up for fall / winter!!
I love your blog! Thank you for inspiring me :) P.S. I have always wanted to try a ta-ta tamer bra from lululemon.
If you think the card will also be valid at US Lululemon stores, then please enter me! If it’s just for the Canadian stores, then I wish all your Canadian readers good luck. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
