Low Calorie Berry Smoothie

With the warm weather (sort of) coming, I've been craving smoothies like no other.  I started experimenting yesterday with the ingredients I already had on hand and this is what I came up with... 

(Keep in mind, I was trying to make it low calorie.  I resisted the temptation of throwing in peanut butter, M&Ms, leftover DQ cake, and chocolate syrup even though they were also things I had on hand and they were so desperately calling my name)

 

The honey helped to sweeten it up, I didn't use it to begin with but the Greek yogurt stuck out a little bit too much for me.

I just threw all my ingredients into the blender, put it on the smoothie setting, and blended it for about 30-45 seconds to get it the perfect consistency.

Enjoy!

Spring Staycation

Keeping with the Spring theme, I've put together a Spring Staycation checklist.  We've picked the worst year to not go on a vacation.  Let's just say it was 80 degrees at this time last year and it's 10 degrees today. What. The. Eff.  But it is what it is and I will make the most of it (and pretend I'm laying on a white sandy beach) with a little Staycation!

Spring Fever

Every year I get this crazy, restless, feeling right around this time.  We usually have a vacation planned for end of March so I make it through but not this year. Oh well, March is a busy and fun month for us so it's all good, 7 inches of snow and all, and probably some umbrella drinks to make myself feel like I'm on vacation.   In honor of my Spring fever, below are a few of my favorites for the upcoming season (in 13 days, yo).

Victoria's Secret Baseball Shirts- Light and comfortable, perfect for Spring weather.

Essie Turquoise Caicos Nail Polish- Get out of those dark nail polish colors and into this little gem

Essie Mademoiselle Nail Polish- Ditto

Fruit Infuser Water Bottle- I drink a hell of a lot more water now that I have this.  Easy flavored water at home with zero cals, bam!

Owl Canister Set- Just picture walking into your kitchen in the morning and seeing these cute little faces, and awesome colors

Sweet Pea Wall Flowers-Sweet Pea has always been one of my favorite scents from Bath and Body Works, and it gets me in the warm weather mood (who am I kiddin', I'm always in the warm weather mood)

Green Vest- The weather doesn't look too promising for St. Patrick's Day so I figured I'd need something a little warmer while walking the streets of St. Paul and drinking green beer.
Caribbean Escape-B&BW candles never fail me. Their wide range of scents are amazing, it is always so hard to decide which to choose!

Happy Thursday!
