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!

My calender at work!

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 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!

My Monday face.

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.

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 :)

So I started my work out again yesterday, and I made up a plan to work out 3 times a week , from Monday to Friday and as much as I can during weekend. So that means 4-5 times a week, depending what’s going on that week. Not every week is the same, but I will do my best.  I will also try to buy some lunch stuff tomorrow. In Sweden I used to make great couscous salad with Hallomi or something else for lunch the day before, I need to get back to that. I also need tips, what to make for dinner. The days we do work out, it’s hard to cook and eat before 9 pm, is that normal? I know that you ideally should eat around 7 pm, but that’s not possible if we come home by 7 and want to go to the gym. How do you  guys do?

Why is it so hard to get up in the mornings? I wake up last minute and look like crap every day. I tried to go to bed early, but I ended up reading blogs on my phone till midnight…FAIL! Anyway, yesterday I had some time to go by Mac cosmetics and I didn’t fine what I needed, but I found an eye cream that’s supposed to be good and two eye shadows. I wanted something that is neutral but still little shiny and a more glittery one for party’s.  Love Mac, probably my favorite cosmetic line.

This eye cream is suppose to have coffin in it. Let's see if it can make a difference.  


One for party and one for both.

Some sleep would be nice, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I have a lot at work and no time for breathing and I have to finish all SWEA work this week, cause this is my last week as a SWEA board member, and it feels so good to only have one job and come home and not always have to think about doing more work.

I am having some friends over for Saturday and I have not even started to plan, but I feel like it will all work out in the end.  My hubbz is good at helping me so I am feeling good about it. Last night I had to come after work being a zombie, I looked like one and felt like one and somehow I managed to get to the gym, thanks to my BFF Hubby who motivates me to go to the gym. 

We came home and we are totally hooked on a new TV show called “Friday Night Lights” and it’s about a high school in Texas who has a football league called the Panters. An Amazing show, and we just finished the first season.  Can’t wait to start next season. 

So Vegas was fun, but totally overload, I loved it more when it was warmer and we could go to the pool all day, rather than the cold Vegas. I did see Tiesto and Avicii, two great DJ’s, but I think I am officially retiring from going out. I just can’t deal with it anymore. It’s been amazing, but I look forward turning 30 this year and start a new chapter in life. I want 2013 to be as amazing as 2012, but more emotionally stable. Me and Hubby are going to work out a plan for 2013 this weekend, to go through our goals and savings for this year. We want to buy an apartment and still be able to travel.  I have many New Years resolutions for 2013, not very big one, but just to have a more comfortable and happy life without much drama.

I’ll show you more pics from Vegas later.
