Hello hello. Happy Friday!
With no school today [due to California’s non-existent budget], it feels like Saturday…but lucky for me, the weekend has just begun! I slept in this morning and, for once, it felt great! My body certainly need those extra zzz’s. However, I still have a deep cough and don’t know what to do about it besides rest.
I made a very simple bowl of oats, along with my 36th cup of Echinacea Complete Care tea, for brex and then got to cleaning house. Yes, even as a 20-year-old college student, I am still anal about tidying my house before having guests : ) Then my roommate and I hit up Trader’s, I ate snack #14, and here I am…
Speaking of snacks, I feel like Miss Allie lately. Normally, I am a routine eater and minimize my amount of random, mindless snacking; however, the past few days I’ve been attacking the snacks:
New Favorite: Dried Apricots + Dark Chocolate Almonds
I am addicted!
Cherry Almond Dark Chocolate Granola Bar (handmade by my mama!)
Ben & Jerry’s Dark Chocolate Peaces – not impressed.
Cucumber, Carrots, Pita Bite Crackers & Hummus – all courtesy of TJ’s.

Anxiously awaiting for Tasha to arrive. We were suitemates my first two years of college, and I’ve really missed living with her this year. I am looking forward our girly weekend. Anyone else seeing Valentine’s Day?
Blogging may be minimal the next couple of days, but I will for sure be announcing the giveaway winner Sunday.
Have a LOVELY weekend,
~ Hillary

That granola bar looks sooooo good!
Good to know the peaces aren’t good – I’ve thought about buying them.
And…would your mom share her granola bar recipe?
I love to snack! Seriously if snacking is wrong then I am never going to be right!! haha! Enjoy your weekend!! :)
The chocolates are so cute though! LOL, but not worth it if they don’t taste great I guess.
