juicin'? NOoo.. smoothin.. ;)

a friend of mine has decided to go on a juicin' kick..

i'll be the first one to tell you that i am sO not interested in juicing. it's not appealing to me at all..

& i may get flack from my friends who are on the juice train, but come on, man..
you're WASTING delicious *veggie meats* for sum juice!???  my momma would cuss you out & she don't even cuss..

lol... JUST kidding.. 

but i'm sure you know what i'm talkin' about..

sO, anyway... one of my closest friends got a juicer & posted a pic of her shopping cart full of bright colored veggies & fruits on facebook & tagged me in the pic cuz she's juicin'..

apparently i'm spoze to be interested..   o_____O

poor girl probably didn't know any better. 

lol..

okay.. i admit.. when i hear about the nutritional value, my ears perk up just a lil.. but i ain't wastin' no veggie meats. my momma would kill me.

sOo.. i got inspired. i was eatin' WAY too much carb stuff the other day & i got a lil' creative to get sum veggie meats in me..

here's what i did..

i took the last of a bag of fresh spinach salad (probably about 1/2 cup)
a half a frozen banana (i believe you should ALWAYS have ripe bananas frozen in your freezer)
a handful of frozen raspberries ( i believe you should ALWAYS have a bag of frozen berries in your freezer, too)
a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream
probably about 4 tbsp of orange juice
and a half cup of vanilla soy

i mixed this stuff together in my food processor/blender combo on liquify & it was amaZingggg!!

the result was an awesome smoothie that looked super yuck..  but tasted like *heaven*
(this ain't a pic of it.)

you have NO idea. my kids were grossed out so i FORCED them to try it & then i had to FORCE them to STOP tryin' it! Lol..

the only thing is i wish i would've had more spinach..

can sumbody say BANGIN'??

;)

yummy..  try it. lemme know what you think!

*confession* #327

WHY confession #327, tea?  cuz it sounds cool, right?

confession #1 sounds whack..  like i never had to confess anything until now.. pshhh..  lol

anyway.

i NEED this stuff *right* now.
i'm not even playin'!
check out this shirt.. if it wasn't for the price tag attached, i'd hafta snatch that one up! :)
(remember.. i'm the girl with the $5 price "rule")

 & of course with the pants.. one word.. *STYLINNNN*

i actually have a blanket with this kind of knitted pattern.. i'm feelin' sOoo tempted right about now.

anyway.. inspiration can only get u so far.. then you either hafta start BUYing or MAKEing..

it's up to you.. me. which gets pretty complicated.. i'm one of those girls who doesn't really care for sewing..  *ick*
i'm tempted to buy some ol' skool patterns, though.. maybe that would make the journey a lil' more exciting.. we'll see..  ;)

*remember* confessions are good for the soul. <3

Give.

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

DEEP thought for the day..

What if the hokey-pokey is really what it's all about?

it's NOT.  

O_o

some inspiration..

just when i need it most..

after midnight.. LOL

i thought that THIS was an amaZing little way to use paper.. would i try it?

no.

& yes.. it IS paper

but it's still pretty neat to look at.  ;)

and THIS is just too much cuteness.. i love it when people aren't afraid of color.. so much fun*

and THIS is one i just gotta have.. but i can't find it where it's supposed to be..

i saw it here, though..
should i make one for myself.. maybe.. ;)

sO, yea... i'm inspired. :)

podge sumthin, girl!!

okay.. sO, i KNOW that i've been planning to modpodge sumthin' for about a bazillion years now, but i think i finally have it figured out! ... and i can't wait.

i even daydreamed of the project yesterday and this morning..

this is truly an inspiring image.. i don't know if this was actually decoupaged, but it "feels" like it to me. =)

images!!

ok.. sO, i just looked at my most recent posts and they look kinda blah!! i'm pretty disturbed.

sO.. i decided to throw in something beautiful for you to look at!

=)

i've been eyeing this store JUST SCANDINAVIAN for a LONG time.

even from the window you can see that the designers have SUCH wonderfully passionate eyes for color!! sOoo.. i REALLY want this sofa. i'm not kidding.

i want it. bad. it has NO price. you know what that means. LOL

color is amaZing. it wakes you up when you're sleepy. it makes you look forward to getting dressed. it makes you feel HAPPY.

anyway.. i hope these images give you a lil' taste of what i mean! ;-)
