Good morning friends!
Sometimes I find myself putting too much power and thought over things I’m “supposed” to be doing or putting too much focus on the future, when really the only thing that matters right now is the present – right now – in the moment…
Here are my list of things happening at the moment…
Eating…
For Breakfast, I think it’s pretty obvious I’m going through a baked banana oat phase. For now at least. Can’t get enough of this bowl. Easy, filling, and delicious.
Not much more you can ask for in a Breakfast dish.
Sipping…
Starbucks caffè americano, black per usual. Maybe I’ll try spicing it up next week;) Speaking of spicing it up, it’s quite amazing when you add a few shakes of cinnamon on top.
I look forward to this drink everyday!
Watching…
The Americans. Oh my gosh, I don’t even know where to begin with this show. It’s amazing. I also kind of want to be Keri Russell.
Dramatic, suspenseful, and I feel smarter when I watch it;) Real Housewives is good and all, but I like to watch shows that are kind of good for my brain too.
Working…
My arms…thanks to pilates push-ups.
Love the burn.
Loving…
Pretty pastels. This color is so feminine, romantic, and beautiful. Anyone can pull of a shade of pastel, it’s just a matter of choosing what’s right for you.
I happen to love the lavenders and baby blues.
Obsessed With…
Color filled veggie salads. Can’t stop making this berry vinaigrette.
Thinking…
Painting…
My nails a pretty mix of pink and coral (Lucky by dior). I love the pink in this polish, since it’s girly yet the coral gives it a little bit of a unique look instead of a plain ol’ pink color.
So pretty.
Lusting Over…
Lori and Michelle’s beautiful secret ingredient vegan fudge! Yes please!
You better bet this will be served in my kitchen this weekend. I mean, St. Patty’s is coming up after all. Check this out now.
Happy Thursday!
What are you drinking?
What are you lusting over?
What are you up to at the moment?
Hope you all have a lovely day!
About Lisa
I’m up to my ears in finals studying, but I”m desperately trying to still make time for the gym, so that I can keep my sanity at least a littttle bit.
I’m now thinking that the vegan fudge you posted would make the perfect studying accompaniment!
Right now, I’m attempting to make myself drink coffee (because I need a bit of extra energy today) and….yea. Not really working :-p
That Americans show looks interesting! May have to go on my list of shows to watch in the future.
I’m drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, lusting over Revlon ColorStay nail polishes, and currently researching Master’s Programs for Mathematics. I absolutely LOVE the pastel colors SO much! Especially mint green, of course. I just bought a pair of jeans actually
I love coral pastels, too, I think they’re just so pretty but fun!
As a fellow Starbucks fan, I’m definitely lusting over their Blonde roast coffee with sugar-free vanilla syrup! It always hits the spot and I’ve already had it three times this week! Yum!
I am so glad that the pastel colors are so in for this Spring and Summer. It sure makes finding lots of cute pastel clothing super easy..maybe too easy!
I’m drinking water! And well, working right now
But also getting excited for my break from work & everything. So stoked!
pretty nail color!!
Ahhh! That dress!!! I have a grey one in the same style, but I’d love to get my hands on some pastels.
I love everything in this post! Especially your nails and the quote. Wonderful.
I am drinking tea like all day except while my workouts. I should be up to go to bed since it’s late here – will do that now. Good night!
I swear that I need to write myself a post-it note reminding me to live in the moment. I spend waaaaay too much time fretting about the future and completely overlooking my daily joys. RIght now I’m actually sitting in Starbucks sipping on a nice warm cappuccino and lusting over warmer weather and sunshine. Winter is making one last stand before spring takes over, and it’s a nasty, nasty day out. Brr.
You my beautiful dear are ALWAYS sipping on some starbizzle, hehe!
I had a skinny iced caramel machiatto from there today, so good! Not sure if I am spelling that right, but you get what I am saying
Mmm that fudge looks so good! I’m lusting for the sun as we are on our way to Arizona right now! Yay!!!!
Living in the moment is so important and too often we get caught up in the past/future and completely forget about it. I’m glad you took today to enjoy every moment for exactly what it was. (:
I’m in loooove with pastels right now. Mint green, lavender, pastel pink…I just can’t get enough!
Ahh, so much to say! I have no idea where to begin, but let’s start with those baked banana oats, because holy cow, they look amazing! I’m really into bananas for breakfast, so I’m going to have to try this. Recipe, please?
How have I never heard of The Americans?! I’ve always loved Keri Russel, and from the looks of the picture, it seems like a show I’d love. Since I’ve been spending lots of time on my bum over the past few days, and will probably continue to rest over the weekend, I’ll be searching for it online.
I adore pastels! Especially right now, because wearing spring colors helps me pretend that we’re having spring-like weather, too. (We’re totally not–today it was only 30 degrees F!). I’m in love with light mint green (super cute dress!), pastel purples and pinks.
I had a gel manicure tonight, and chose a color almost identical to your Dior shade. Love it! Nail twins.
xoxoxoxo! <3
p.s. thank you again for your sweet text messages yesterday! They really meant a lot to me!
So many great things to cherish in the moment. I do the same thign where I get distracted with “whats next whats next”. Thanks for the beautiful reminder. So wish we could have coffee together. I’m an Americano girl as well.
loving that nail polish..I really like that quote you shared because sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about future and get hung up on past while forgetting what I have in present much more special and precious. Thanks for that reminder
now i wish i had that vita mix to make that fudge! let me know how it turns out. Have a great weekend
I had a banana thing going last week. I couldn’t get enough! This week it’s berries. My body is craving spring!
Don’t think I’m creepy but I’m obsessed with your hair LOL What kind of curling iron and hair products do you use??? Love that pastel it would work well for my bridal shower!
I’m into pastels lately, too! And those banana oats? YUM!
I have been obsessed with mint and pastel blue lately. Can’t get enough! I actually painted my nails mint green today
Right now I’m drinking a delicious glass of Semillion while making ridiculously fattening Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Bailey’s Buttercream frosting for a St. Patty’s Day dinner tomorrow. I can’t even remember the last time I baked something with so much sugar if any at all! I’m sure they will be delicious though!
How fun! I can not wait for spring, I am so into mint lately!!!!
I heard the Americans was a really great show. I really want to get into it! I just started watching Walking Dead and it gives me nightmares lol.
Love you are your Starbucks obsession haha
Thank you for your sweet message too! You’re the best!
Off to check out Lori and Michelle’s fudge!
I’m drinking hot tea because it is FREEZING here. And I’m planning on making your oatmeal bake because I got to add in oats!!
