Tuesday Tidbits | 4.16.13

April 16, 2013 by Hillary 5 Comments

1. My heart is heavy and my head confused. I don’t understand yesterday’s tragic event; it’s difficult to grasp the reality that one of the grandest athletic events in the world was halted in a fatal catastrophe. Rather than point fingers of disgust, I’d rather acknowledge the heroes and heroines in yesterday’s wake. Love >> Boston.

2. Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary at my first “big girl” job. Time flies and life.is.good.

3. I devoured the entire batch of almond meal banana coconut muffins in eight consecutive days. As soon as I find myself with a few ferociously sweet, ripe bananas, I am whipping up another batch.

4. Have you checked out my Albion Fit GIVEAWAY!? A Love Racer Tank in spring-y sea foam could be yours! {& BTW, the post had been updated to include a $15 off discount code}

5. With Boston laying heavy on my heart, Aubrey’s announcement restored missing love and joy — so happy for her!!

6. I am hooked on thick, creamy, coconut-y, vibrant green smoothies. Recipe to follow.

7. Encouragement and improvement — two wonderful things that I have experienced at the box recently, despite an injured knee.

8. Strawberry season is here — hooray! I have welcomed them to crash my salads and even gave them a swim in melted {Easter bunny} dark chocolate.

9. I am more than ready for a mother-daughter weekend to ensue come Friday at five. I know Mom won’t let me get away without sunscreen this weekend. Spring is in full swing!

10. How incredibly awesome is my old gym with this iPad above the scale? I miss it… and intense HIIT treadmill workouts.

Have a great rest of your week :)

Summer’s Arrived with Sizzle ‘n’ Spice

May 20, 2010 by Hillary 8 Comments

Hi! Happy Fri… I mean Thursday! Since it’s summer and all, my days are twisted up. Yes… summer! I had my final final at the early hour of 8:ooam today, and now I am officially done with my 3rd year of college – 2 mas anos! I’m really glad to have another semester behind me, as it was the roughest yet in many ways. I am happy the school year ended when it did because I’m tired of writing about this exam, and that exam… and I never want to write the evil word “O. Chem” again. I can imagine ya’ll are a bit tired of reading about my stagnant life as a student too. It’s time we add some spice up in here!

I’d say these steel cut oats added some sexy spice to my morning! My second attempt at steel cut left no room for complaints… each chewy spoonful was creamy, nutty and 100% hearty.

009

  • 1 cup H20
  • 1/3 c. [quick cook] steel cut oats
  • 1/2T ground flax
  • cinnamon
  • 1/2 itty bitty banana
  • 2 organic strawberries
  • 1T toasted pecans
  • 1 tsp. honey

After a low-energy 60 minutes at the gym, I couldn’t wait to get home and organize for summer [a.k.a. rid my room of all things school related].

023

Bye bye, O. Chem!

This was the first semester I tried renting books. I have to say I will most definitely be doing this again, seeing as how I wasted a couple Benjamin Franklins on books that were never cracked open – ugh. I found that renting was significantly cheaper than purchasing a book [even used], plus you don’t have to keep them on your shelves to collect dust after you’re done using them… or not using them in my case. Have you rented anything for school before?

* * *

Tonight, my two roommates and I went to The Brewery for a celebratory dinner.

030

We dined outside under a canopy of greenery – it was a cool, yet comfortable Spring evening.

035

For me, wood-fired veggie Mexican pizza. It packed a spicy punch with a chipotle cream, peppers and caramelized onion, cilantro and cojita cheese –mmm! Unfortunately, no Pale Ale was enjoyed with my meal – uno mas mes!

Then we scootered across town to scout out a new fro yo joint – thank you GPS. I served myself a hefty portion of chocolate and coffee with dark chocolate chips – surprised? It was a quite lovely Friday Thursday night out with the gals.

Now this is something that is surely adding a bit of spice to my summer! I’m in… I bought a ticket to the Healthy Living Summit 2010. Now I must find a j.o.b. pronto to get myself to Chicago. I am going to do my best to make the dream of a weekend come true. Six months into the blogging world, and my relationship is all or nothing!  Are you attending the conference? I am so anxious to meet so many of my inspirations : )

What do you plan to do to add some sizzle ‘n’ spice to your summer?

Off to bed to rest my head. Ahhh, guess who gets to sleep in manana?

Next Up: GIVEAWAY WINNER announced!

Night, all.

#happynewyear
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 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣

One lucky winner will receive a @girlgetafterit swag bag with hoodie, beanie & water bottle. ⁣⁣
