Happy Hour: A Healthy Snack

Mar 5, 2021

I didn’t realize how much of my waking hours were now spent thinking about food.  How much of my time I spend planning for it, shopping for it, cooking it, dreaming about it.  But now that I’m trying to regain control of my eating habits, turning off that part of my brain to focus on eating healthy is a real challenge.  So I’m always happy to find a healthy snack that I actually want to eat.

These fruit cups from Marvelous Misadventures contain a variety of melons and pineapple all sprinkled with chili powder and served with a lime.  It’s the perfect way to kick your basic fruit salad up a notch.  I love this as an idea for an easy, healthy afternoon snack.

Are you a Trader Joe’s shopper?  Their Chili Lime Seasoning Blend, with chili powder, salt and lime is perfect for this.

This weekend, one year ago, is when I went into quarantine with a mystery respiratory ailment.  I never could have predicted all that would happen in the 52 weeks in between.  But I can sum up my feelings on the matter quite succinctly: I’ve never felt so joyless. Blah. Bored. Dreary.

So to bring a little color back into my life, I purchased these enamel hoops from Sphera Milano.  They’re so bright and fun.  For more colorful jewelry, enamel and zircon studs or these Madewell coral dot hoops.

Prefer a pendant?  This All We Are Rising pendant looks like a bright sunrise.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
