Our new obsession

Do you know what happens when we do not have anything planned for dinner at our house? We go to Jason's Deli. It is our new obsession. They have lots of healthy options, the portion sizes are perfect, and the price is great too. 

We discovered Jason's Deli on our way back from Houston when I googled healthy food to eat on the road. We then realized we had one about 5 minutes from our house! We have now been there three times and I have had:

the nutty mixed up salad

a wild salmon-which with steamed veggies

the spinach veggie wrap with salsa

Did I mention they have free ice cream to fill in the cracks? Just a little bit is enough for this girl!

What a great find with healthy food in the south.

I do not have much to say today... a rare moment... lets embrace it. I have been working lots, it is starting to get too hot outside for my liking and they say its going to keep getting hotter, oh and I got a haircut yesterday! This is my first haircut from a new hair dresser in about 8 years! It was a big moment for me.

pre straight hair - pre curly hair - post straight hair!

Oh, and I made baked oatmeal. I found the recipe on pinterest, of course! They are delish and well portioned. My toppings included chia seeds, pecans, peanuts, and chocolate chips! They are perfect to throw in the freezer. Just take them out the night before for a healthy breakfast!

See you tomorrow!

Crafting

Sometimes a girl just has to craft. I am not a big fan of terra cotta pots but I found one in my shed that was the perfect size for the succulent B bought me. With some inspiration from Pinterest and the cute pots I saw at West Elm and Crate & Barrel, I knew I could transform my boring terra cotta pot into something beautiful.

 

All I had to do was tape off the top using painter's tape, spray it with about 3 coats of yellow spray paint, and wait for it to dry!

I love the yellow with my recovered chairs in my sun room and the contrast of the glossy yellow against the matte terra cotta.

Its the small touches that are really finalizing my sunroom... the succulent and pot are one of them! I just love crafting so much. I think this turned out much better than something I could buy in a store.

My neighbors flowers

I must admit, I have been creeping my neighbors flowers these past few weeks. I am obsessed with hydrangeas and other exotic flowers. How is she able to grow them naturally in her yard with no effort at all?!?

Aren't they beautiful?

 I am OBSESSED. I stare at them every time I am near.

Maybe someday I will have my own hydrangea plant to photograph like a maniac. For now... I will just be creepy. I do not think my 80 some year old vegetarian neighbor will care! I bet she would be proud of her flowers and honored that I shared them with you.

*for your reference, these were taken from my driveway... no trespassing necessary!

InstaFriday

TGIF! I did not really have a busy week but it felt productive. I did some killer workouts, took time to relax, and started a new craft project!

1. I am still reminiscing about our trip to Houston! It was so much fun! I think I found a reason for us to go back in July! 2. We had a tomato and basil salad this week... all ingredients from our garden. It was amazing. 3. I purchased some local blueberries to add to my greek yogurt for breakfast. Mmmm. 4. I took some time to straighten my hair this week to see how long it is. Definitely need a haircut next week to get rid of the ends that are fried from the heat.

Have an amazing weekend.
