Where oh where has the week gone! It doesn’t feel like Thursday! I could’ve sworn it was just Monday, and now it’s already Thursday. I’m guessing it must have been the holiday on Monday that made things pass by rather quickly. I can’t find any other explanation.
Oh yah, I guess I should wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day! Don’t laugh, but I still get presents from my parents. Ha. I’m assuming they will continue to do this until I get a boyfriend…which doesn’t seem likely that it will happen anytime soon;) but I’m a-okay with this fact. No stressing for me this Valentine’s Day.
Three Things I’m Eating:
1. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I had to add a little red coloring and chocolate to my Breakfast. It was just a must.
Cocoa buckwheat bowl with strawberries on top. Yum.
2. Quinoa for Lunch.
I went through a little rough patch with quinoa, losing my love for it, but now it’s back in the picture for now.
Pepped up with flavorings like cumin, nutritional yeast, and veggie broth make it extra delicious.
3. Apples dipped in almond butter and sprinkled in cinnamon.
Again, I wasn’t really feeling the love for apples during the Fall time when they’re usually best, but right now I can’t get enough.
Food Phases are so random.
Three Things I’m Loving:
1. Yogi Tea.
Of course tea is a huge part of my day. I drink it consistently throughout the afternoon, when I can no longer tolerate coffee.
Actually, I don’t even think I like the flavor that much, I just really like the message that comes with it. Yep.
I remember buying Kindersurprises just for the toy, I didn’t like the chocolate, so I’d just give it away and keep the toy for myself. I’m cool like that.
2. Fresh flowers outside
Okay, fine they aren’t fresh, but they remind me that Spring is on its way!
3. Sun Warrior Natural Warrior Blend
I especially love that it’s a mix of 3 different plant based proteins. It contains cranberry protein, hemp protein, and pea protein. I love this even more then the brown rice blend.
Not only does if mix very well into smoothies, but it tastes great in baked goods as well.
Three Workouts I Did:
1. Spin class on Tuesday!
Love as always. Another plus, the New Year crowd seems to have dispersed, so now we don’t have to rush at 5 in the morning to get to class.
2. Pop Pilates Backless Dress Workout (using 5 pound weights instead of no weights) I died.
3. Tone It Up – Tone Your Arms For Summer Workout
Three Things I’m Wanting:
1. To make these delicious looking vegan brownies from Chocolate Covered Katie.
After seeing Sara make vegan brownies, I can’t get my mind off of them. Oh man do these ever look decadent.
2. Tiffany Box Blue Nails!
Holy moly, I want these on my nails asap.
3. To Sparkle-ify everything.
I love glitter. This looks too fun, plus they just make things looks so unique and cute.
These are just some of the things I wanted to share with you for today:) I always seem to have a bunch of extra things on my camera or items, pins, and products that I’d like to share more of.
Are you doing anything special for Valentine’s Day?
Single or Taken?
What are some things you’re wanting, loving and eating this week?
Have a wonderful Thursday!
About Lisa
…. I won’t lie, I was kind of sad to not see that awesome starbucks phone cover on here haha!
Ooohh I feel have a huge craving for strawberries now! I made vegan blondes yesterday, and the main ingredient was white beans, which really freaked me out, but it was SO good! It was also a CCK recipe.
Have you tried the normal vanilla sun warrior? If so, is the protein blend different? I’m nearly out of the normal sun warrior and wouldn’t mind giving the blend a go.
Oh, and loving the sparkles!
Errmmm I ADORE those nails! Such a pretty color (well obviously, the Tiffany’s blue is just gorgeous) and yeah, the design rocks too
I can appreciate enjoying flowers outside… there are NONE in sight around these parts, but it makes me even more excited for spring! Only a few months away… doh lol
I have clinical until 4 this afternoon, which I need to get ready for NOW, so that is what I am doing. And then taking a nap when I get home. Exciting stuff right there
Single lady right hurrr but that is fine with me at the moment, too busy for much else!
Have a lovely Valentine’s Day Lisa
Crap I didn’t plan a Valentine’s Day themed breakfast today… I feel like such a bad food blogger haha. Yours looks good though! I’m getting together with friends to have a movie night tonight and probably eat lots of chocolate haha.
Also I love those Tiffany’s nails! I’m not really a nail polish kind of girl, but those are so cute!
Three things I’m loving this week are Gilmore Girl reruns on tv, lunches made by the chef at work, and solo spin workouts.
I love glitter too! Anything sparkly and I’m sold! Um my parents still get me something for Valentine’s day too
So glad I’m not the only one. And I have to agree maybe someday when I’m finally not single they will stop! Here’s hoping this is the year for us 
I am taken but we do not celebrate Valentines Day here, so no presents
I love the nails! And I had strawberries for breakfast too, together with blueberries. Can not get enough! And I love the quotes in Yogi Tea! 
Wanting – the weekend! Loving – life! Eating- sunflower seed butter!
Anything with glitter is fabulous :-p And I usually get chocolate from my parents on Valentine’s Day…although probably not this year since I moved. Too bad, it was always one of my favourite things about the day! :-p
The boy and I are actually delaying our Valentine’s until Saturday when he’s off work, and going out for sushi. Always makes me happy.
And I’m intrigued to try black bean brownies! Not because I think they’ll be the most amazing thing ever, but because I’m really curious to see how close they are to the real thing. I might have to try baking them next week.
I hate Valentine’s day. I do not get presents from my parents.. they stopped when I was like 10. They hate me. Juuuust kidding haha. I need those nails and that phone case! So cute! I’m actually taken right now, but he’s moving across the country in about a week, soooo that’s that lol
Ohhh, I want Tiffany nails (and maybe a 2 carat Tiffany solitaire to go with). Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, love
I’m celebrating as a single lady this year, but I still love Valentine’s because I’ll use any excuse to get extra excited over a day. No big plans over here, though. I’d like to do a little bit of baking and a whole lot of taste testing today, but other than that? Chocolate and a chick flick or two sound like a pretty good idea.
I can’t believe you have green grass and fresh flowers outside! I would definitely love me some of that, seeing as we’re currently buried under tonnes of snow over here. But instead I’m loving sunshine, cappuccinos, good books, and the fact that it’ll be Spring soon
apples have been super crunchy at my store lately and I have been digging them too
Hahaha don’t worry I still get v-day gifts from my mom too! Every year I ask her to get me just a small box of chocolates and every year she gets the huge one haha.
I am currently obsessed with apple slices dipped in almond butter. I seriously cannot get enough of it. I suppose it could be worse, right?
I just made CCK’s vegan brownies and they are AMAZING. You’ll definitely enjoy them! It was my first time making anything with tofu and I was surprised at how fudgey they came out! I need to make something for Elmo with glitter… Even if he’s a boy, blue glitter is acceptable… Right?!
this is such a cute post! i still get presents from my parents too!!
jadore those tiffany’s nails! i think its funny that your quinoa looks like you pressed it flat before you took that photo, haha! oh yay spin, i had a good class yesterday, i went to a bike in the back corner and just zoned out! happy vday lover, and i know the email ball is now in my court, er inbox!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I missed my spin class this week and am so bummed about it. What I really want is to not be sick anymore because it ruined my birthday now it’s ruining my Valentine’s Day
Oh well, could be worse. At least V-day can be celebrated anytime!
oh my goodness! those nails are amazing! i am all about that mint colour!
That Buckwheat bowl looks awesome! What a colorful & tasty lookin’ breakfast.
I got really sick of quinoa for a while but your bowl makes me wan to bring it back. I have been using the Vanilla original SunWarrior forever but recently bought the Warrior Blend in chocolate and love it as well! And you’re right, it works really in baked goods (makes a fabulous microwave muffin!).
I loveee yogi tea. The quotes on the tag make it that much more special! Those are the exacccttt same spin bikes that are at my gym! I haven’t been to spin in over a week because I hurt my knee and I am DYING!! I neeeeed to spin!
I am definitely not laughing! My mom sends me a Valentine’s package every year…and I’m 27!
No complaints, though (especially when those packages contain Starbucks cards and new-to-me David’s Tea flavors!)
Definitely make those vegan brownies! I want to try Katie’s recipe next–they sound really similar to the ones I tried, but maybe better? If you beat me to it, let me know what you think!
Umm, I’m in love with sparkly everything, too–especially nails. Whenever I go to the nail salon, I always pull the super glittery colors, but usually chicken out at the last minute. One of these days I’ll gather the courage to do it. Go big or go home, right?
Hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day, love!! <3
