Healthy salad sushi?

My favorite thing in who whole world is probably sushi and I never get board of it so I found this healthy sushi option at lunch and I am not a big salad eater to be honest, so of you make salad into a sushi, YES I WILL EAT YOU!!!

Wednesday today and that means running day, I went to dinner with work yesterday after two days of intense training and after they took us to a very cute restaurant called Clyde’s and it felt like we were in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, but actually we were just 10 min from my house.

My goal today is to be in bed early and then wake up EARLY on Thursday and try to work out…let see if that will happened. Have not been able to wake up early for a very long time, one of my weaknesses in life (that and Yogurt covered candy (naturgodis).


One part of my lunch...

Dead cow in bed

I feel like a dead cow, its been a crazy day, I have had training all day, cause we are all learning a new Marketing Customer database system and I have training all day tomorrow. Came home, run to the gym, come home and my amazing baby made Pesto chicken dinner with salad for me. And I had to clean, change sheets and clean house and bathroom and take a shower and now I have crashed into bed. Not an ideal Monday, but I had too much fun this weekend and didn’t have time for cleaning and that’s fine. At least I am off cleaning for a few days.

It’s my Amiga’s bday today and she is turning the big 30, it’s the 30 year and many of my friends are turning 30. It’s a good number and I look forward to experience my 30’s wiser and happier than ever. We went to her house with a cake and kidnapped her for Mani/Pedi and had brunch in a really nice and fancy place called Blue Duck Tavern and I absolutely loved it.

Some of you might have noticed that I have met a few new girlfriends, and It’s amazing after almost 2 years I feel like I am finally settled here. I came here for my babe, but now I have met these amazing girls that contribute a lot to my life. You need your girls too…..

I miss my Munia, she is traveling and I think it's time for her to come home, she is having way too much fun without me. T- 1 week!!!!










 




One egg a day....

So, I have started to eat one egg a day to get protein in the morning and my mom has always told me to do this, but I usually don’t listen to her and now I am hooked. I eat this before I go to work and then I have something small at work and it keeps me so FULL. I love it, except I forgot about the egg this morning and it was totally over cooked (not yummy).

I love eggs on a sandwich with some salt and pepper and some cucumber, gourmet for me.  Its Friday peeps, its Friday!


Bad hair day

I need a haircut and buy the oil that I always use. My hair I crying and I am not listening, I am bad bad person to my hair. I am very good at taking care of my skin, but very bad at taking care of my hair and I really need to improve that. I use this very specific product that you put on your hair roots (since I am bald these days) and then you sleep in it and wash your hair the next day. I have to do that tonight, It's not very sexy, but very necessary. 


One of the best products I have used for my hair.





Mayday Mayday....hair problems.








I miss Swedish Husman

I found a blog that makes healthy dishes and she had a picture of “Svensk Husman” and the peeps who know me, know that I love my husman. It is something I can make at home, but I never end up doing it. I am trying to get into beach 2013 without starving and eating healthy so I don’t become bald.  But I am totally craving something husman, I doubt my hubby will like it but it could be a good Friday dinner.

Want tips for healthy or Swedish food, visit this young amazing lady at The Food train.

Something I have not seen for a while is Sunlight, being in the office all day and I usually stay in for lunch. So a yellow dress from Zara.com could make my wardrobe a little bit happier.

What it's Wednesday?

Monday is the worst day for sure, but suddenly I realized that it’s already Wednesday and the weeks just disappear and soon it’s Friday again. This past weekend was Super bowl weekend and my hubby was in the actual city where they were playing, so I had a girl’s weekend with my friends. Lots of fun, we went swimming and one if the girls had a super bowl party and the team that won was not who I cheered for, but it was a great game, so I am happy anyway. So excited for next season, I never thought I would like American football like this, but somehow I just really enjoy the games. But I do miss normal football or soccer that they call it here. My dream is to go to Brazil next year. I have not seen a normal “soccer” game in while and it will be fun. I mean who doesn’t love world cup? I will miss my dad around that time, because it was our bounding times.

How is everyone’s workout going? So far this week I have been good, swimming on Monday and an on the treadmill yesterday and some weights, so today I am off (yesssssssssssssss) and I am going to enjoy a great dinner with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Tomorrow I have to run and Friday I am off again. I have to plan some baking for this Saturday. My mother in law is having a party and I think I am going to make Leila’s frozen cheesecake and mini pannacotta, its easy and usually peeps like it. I just have to find some plastic cups to put them in and I have to make maybe 30-40 or them.  


Happy Hump day!





Super bowl and I had to rock my lovley Redskins shirt.

Can you eat too much chocolate?

Yes you can according to my stomach and I am going to say all that chocolate we ate at Serendipity was worth it, but my stomach has not been the best.  I finally purchased a pair of diesel jeans. I can wear them on my casual Friday look. It’s already Thursday and time just flies by so quickly. Yesterday I went for a run outside, because the weather has been weird here, yesterday was actually warm and today it’s cold again.  One of my friends sent me this link to a good blog for runners and that girl had a great workout schedule. I am going to try to keep doing what she is doing:

-Run 3 times a week, try to maintain Tuesday and Thursday and one day of Saturday and Sunday.

-1 day Yoga or Pilates

-1 day core – Strength and maybe 10 min run fast.

(-1 day swimming on weekends)

= that is 5 times a week and not too hard core and I will always get Friday off and one more weekday, like Wednesday or Tuesday, depending how much I have planned. So far I am able to maintain the running part and the strength but not swimming and yoga. I honestly think they are as important as the other.  I will also do Zumba once in a while. Try to plan your week training on Sunday and then make your plans after that, that way you will balance your training well.  My dear cousin mentioned that she does her training in the morning and how amazing she feels, I am NOT a morning person, but that is going to be my goal in the spring. Workout before work and have soooo much time after work. Looking forward to that.

Happy Thursday peeps!



 


We are celebrating our 1 year friendship thihihih corny YES indeed, but we love it!

I have been looking for a bag that reminds me of a Celine bag and I have found the perfect one (soooo happy) and I am in love again. I saw it yesterday when I passed Michael Kors store and could tell that it was their new spring collection. I want the Nude for the summer but I am a little torn, I know the blue is the new black and I love Navy Blue more than anything else. So I have not decided, which one I am saving for yet. What do you think? Both are amazing in their own way.

Monday a non fun day

Monday is a day you just want to pass, for years I have told myself to do something different on Monday so I always look forward to Monday, but that plan has not happened. Well, the weekend was short as usual and I managed to do a huge closet project and the resulted the whole house to look like a war zone. But now afterwards I feel so happy to have manages all mine and hobby’s clothes to a separate closet so we don’t have to bump into each other all the time getting dressed.

I also did brunch with another couple and I always order my benedict and this was one of the better I have eaten. Well today is Mexican night again, and I am going to make Fajitas yummy in my tummy.


I heart Sunday brunch <#

A little better than before!

So I will probably not buy any of these purses this year, but I am craving a nice hard Nude purse for this Spring and hopefully I can find something similar and classy. I love love love Celine bags and one day I will have my own little baby to carry around.

Short week

It’s already Tuesday and that makes it a short week yohooo. I had a relaxing weekend doing absolutely NOTHING. I have been cuddling with my blanket all day Sunday and I loved it. Yesterday was the Martin Luther King Day and the 2013 Inauguration when the President of the US puts his hand on the bible and signs in as the new president. I live like 20 min from DC but I didn’t feel like going by myself, and watching it live on TV in my bed was not bad at all. I was totally in love with Michelle Obamas coat. I am a coat freak for sure and I love pretty coats. I hope you all had a great weekend and it’s pretty cold outside today and probably the rest of the week. I mean, not that I go outside that much during weekdays.

Happy Tuesday friends….


I made lettuce tacos last night, a great and healthy choice.


I know its cold, but I always always crave my FroYo.

Restaurant at home

So I put this menu up for yesterday. I feel like I never cook anymore. I was home for a while and cooking was a easier project. Well, first time in a while we had no specific plans this weekend and I wanted to cook something fun. My really cute friend Etaf game me these spoons as a gift and I became a little more creative. I love anything bitesize. I like tasting small things in many different flavors.

So this is what I came up with:



So I made a little menu for the night :)


First course:
One bite with a swedish touch and one desi bite and one American bite, american bite. 


Main course:
Mushroom risotto with Spicy Scallops. 


Dessert:
As you know I love Chocolate and this is a plate for chocolate lovers like me. One cakepops, three bites and chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate mousse and Lava cake. 

I am going to tell you a secret, this dinner took me barly one hour to make and I didn't really make everything, I went to whole foods and bought some of the stuff from the food section. I mean how do I cook butter chicken for two bites? I did make the spicy scallops and they were actually great but very spicy. My point it, you don't have to be an amazing chef to put a fun and romantic dinner for your hubby. Just use your imaginations and be a little creative and these spoons was a fun way of going it. 

Be creative and make it simple and fun :)

II know weekend is near and it’s a long weekend too since Monday is Martin Luther King day and I am off, yohooooo. But its going to be a looong ass day tomorrow cause my pile of work aint funny. I just have to get through it, I left today with the worst migraine ever, but after a workout and a cup of tea I think I feel better (or maybe not).

Well, Snoop and me enjoyed a new episode of Greys anatomy with some tea.  Good night everyone. 



My feet are always cold so I have a heating pad underneet my towel :)

Totally in love with it.

Uffffff two days to Weekend

These two weeks has been crazy at work and I feel like I need more hours of the day, I know keep saying that. But when I come by 7 pm and suddenly it’s time to sleep again and I have been fighting to be in bed by 11 pm but that seems to be impossible. I am going try every day until I get that routine.  Last night I had the PMS and I came home dead and had to drag myself to the gym after seeing a Victoria Secret commercial. As soon as I get to the gym everything is fine but it’s a struggle to get there when I come home, I always just push myself as much as can.

It’s Thursday and I am going to try to make dinner tonight and workout so I can take tomorrow off. What should I make, something with ground beef maybe.

Ps, I saw someone instagramming about a book to be more time efficient…NEED THAT BOOK ASAP!


It's cold again, but I started running outside again, today it's suppose to snow, blaaaaah! Can't wait for spring!

My GG favorite

This dress worn by Kate Hudson is absolutely amazing and I wish I could wear it like her. It goes well with her golden hair and simple make up. She makes the dress stand out perfectly. I am in love with her here.



I am also in love with champagne colored dresses, I think she does a great job with this dress but I would wear a nicer shoe with higher heal. Does well with her tan too.



This is one trendy girl and I love the dress cause its a bit different from the ordinary dress, perfect for a Golden Globe. Love the hair and she shoes too, this is a dress I wish I could wear to a party,
