Tuesday Tidbits | 10.8.13

October 8, 2013 by Hillary 20 Comments

1. Monday night activities included a trip to Urgent Care for four stitches in my right thumb. A finger splint wasn’t the accessory I was planning to wear to a NYC wedding; but, apparently, washing dishes isn’t as innocent as it seems. #ouch

ouch

2. Chia bars are the ideal travel snack to pack… as are single servings of Justin’s almond butter. #healthytraveler

3. Two one thumb’s up for sunny Sunday hikes.

4. Two thumbs down for reoccurring knee pain <insert frown>.

5. Egg whites and mashed banana can be made into “oatmeal” — go figure! — but it doesn’t even compare to a creamy bowl of super oats.

6. Did you see this image I posted on the Nutrition Nut Facebook page? Me in a nutshell.

7. Make this curried lentil soup — it is simple, spicy, and warms up your body on a cool, fall day.

8. I’m on Day 9 (of 10) of a sugar detox and am quite surprised at how “easy” it has been. I’ll post about my experience after my travels.

9. I am making these gluten-free pumpkin oat pancakes as soon as soon as I’m done with said detox/home from NYC/have a working right thumb.

10. While I am away on the East Coast for a few days, stay tuned for posts from three fabulous guest bloggers (and a giveaway!).

    Oh no! I’m so sorry. No hand-shaking for you at the wedding – just hugs :) And I guess they won’t be asking you to wash any dishes!

    That’s terrible! I’ve only had stitches when I was one years old, so luckily I don’t remember them! I’m a total pain wimp so I hope I don’t have any accidents! So sorry that happened to you!

    I have to say that I totally laughed at your “didn’t know washing dishes was so dangerous” comment. Only because about 2 weeks ago, a drinking glass fell over and broke in my sink as I was washing dishes. I didn’t know, and I stuck my hand in it to clean it and pulled out a nice sliced knuckle on my right thumb. I was alone (boyfriend was out for the day) and panicked, so I walked myself the half a mile to the closest hospital. $35 co-pay and an hour later I had a bandaged hand and a tetanus shot, but no stitches (thank goodness). But it was a pain to keep clean for a good week. I hear your pain girl! Heal up!

      A very similar story! I think the tetanus shot may hurt more ;)

      I followed this recipe minus the walnuts. I added unsweetened coconut and a scoop of almond butter. I prefer the real deal though — yes to heart-healthy oats!

    Wow, quite a unique recipe. Really does help some of us looking for new and creative food ideas. I’m not a fan of walnuts, but they will be easy to replace with something else :)

    I used to make oatmeal that way when I was trying out the Paleo diet… so delish, but I totally agree… nothing compares to oatmeal! I hope your thumb feels better :-( Who knew washing dishes could be so dangerous!?

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
