Fage Greek Yogurt

 

I’ve become a Bzz Agent. I had the opportunity to try Fage Greek Yogurt.

I eat Greek Yogurt pretty much everyday. I like to mix a Chocolate Vita Top in it to help out the flavor. Honestly, I tried Fage a couple years ago, I got the honey flavor, and I thought it was horrible. But now I see all of the different flavors, unique combinations not found with any other yogurt, I had to try it.

So when I got the invite to try Fage, I was very excited. I got some Passion Fruit Clementine yogurt and kiwi Papaya Passion Fruit. My sister in law got the Cherry Pomegranate yogurt. We absolutely loved them!

It’s really fun to tip the flavor cup over and dump it into the yogurt. I will definitely be buying more of this in the future! I really want to try the mango Guanabana and blueberry Acai flavors!

It’s Been Awhile

 

So, the last time I blogged here, was my 26th birthday, almost 2 years ago. I’ve missed it.

I have been doing a lot of projects off of Pinterest recently and wanted to share my creations.

So to start, one thing I made were some soap pouches.

The pink one has something in it, and the purple one is empty.

The first time I saw this pin, I knew I had to make it. I was sick of my shower puff falling apart every couple of months or so. Washcloths were always way too much cloth for my small hands. Body wash can be expensive.

All you need is:

• A Washcloth
• Needle
• Thread
• Scissors

So, I first cut the washcloth in half. I folded the bottom up about 3/4 of the way, so there was a flap to tuck into the pouch. I sewed up the sides, with the side of the washcloth I wanted on the outside, on the inside.I flipped the pouch inside out and put a bar of soap inside, tucked the flap around the soap.

I used this in the shower the other night, and it was nice. Except for the cloth getting stuck to the soap  every once in a while, it was pretty nice. Just make sure to take the soap out after use and ring out all the suds and water so it can dry and doesn’t start to smell like mildew until you are ready to wash.

Happy 4th

Hope everybody has a wonderful 4th of July!
I painted my nails as flags.
We grilled some burgers. And watched movies.
I got a little sunburn!

I went to the gym to run my virtual 5k! I did it on the treadmill so much fun!

It was nice to have another 5k to do. I tried to find one in the area with no luck. I finished it in 38minutes 12seconds!

Guest Post

Hey y'all! I'm Hayley from Blue Eyed Blonde. I haven't blogged over there in a while, but I'm trying to get back into it. I was excited when I was asked to write this guest post.

I graduated from college last year with a Bachelors of Fine Arts Photography, and I'm in the process of setting up my own photography business in Northeast Florida. I have shot a few engagement sessions, and a few sessions of my nieces. If you gave me a choice of anything to photograph, I'd pick landscapes. They are so beautiful to me and I could spend the rest of my life photographing nature and landscapes. I also have an obsession with taking pictures of buildings, especially old ones (I get this from my dad).

Here's some of my work, and keep an eye out at www.hayleyzipperer.com. I'm working on getting it up and running! I hope you like them!

Inspirational Thursday

Please go enter my giveaway!!

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.

If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals.

if you don't make a total commitment to whatever you're doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. it's tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his jacket on.

There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.

There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either in or out. There's no such thing as a life in-between. ~ Pat Riley

I thought commitment would be a good theme this week as it is something I am struggling with right now. I haven’t been to the gym this week. And I really need to make a commitment to working out and eating better if I ever want to lose weight. I had told myself I was going to make May a great month and go to the gym all the time, so far hasn’t happened at all. So I really need to re-commit myself to the gym.

How To Pick a Wine

Enter to win a gift certificate to Bead Eclectic’s  Etsy Shop!

This weekend I learned a lot about choosing a good wine. I’m sure most people have heard to Swirl, Smell, and Sip the wine to fully experience it. The problem with this, you have to have the wine already purchased and opened to do this.

This weekend, I had a friend over and so picked up some wine. Not really knowing anything about wine, other than I like it sweet, and she likes dry.

So, I wandered around the liquor store looking for some good stuff. I picked up these:

I figured I would like these, but wanted to make sure she had something she would enjoy too. An employee asked me if I needed help. So I said yes, I don’t really know anything about wine and to help me find a good wine. I told him I picked the one because it has a penguin on it. And then asked “That’s a good way to pick a wine right? If it has a penguin on it it must be good right.” He hesitated, “Well, some of the best wines have simple labels.” Then I think it sunk in what I said and he laughed at me, because obviously I was completely insane I knew way more about wine than he could ever hope to.

I gotta say, it worked for me. The cupcake wine was the best ever. I can’t wait to try more from this vineyard, but first I have to forget this previous weekend find the right occasion. I picked the penguin wine, cause a while back the zoo had a Pints for Penguins event we wanted to go to, but couldn’t so this was the closest we could get to drinking with penguins.

Later, we picked up some Monkey Bay and Black Swan. I haven’t tried these yet, but monkeys are pretty amazing and so is Natalie Portman, so I’m sure they will be great.
