    Chocolate Truffles {Vegan}

    Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and you just need to have something and someone to share it with right? Meh. I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. It just never has been something that I want to celebrate or was truly a big fan of. I was blessed that for most of my life I had someone to spend it with, and now I have a Husband to share them ALL with. It just isn’t something I am into.

It is always good to get together for dinner, talk about nothing and everything and drink wine. It is a good way to end the week. Patrick and I also talked to a travel agent about our honeymoon!

     Happy Halloween!!! What are you being for Halloween? I have a party that I am going to on Saturday, and I will make sure to post some pictures on Instagram for you all to see. 🙂 Lots of things have been happening this month. October is my favorite month, always has been. But this October 2013 has run me ragged! I was so lucky to have one of my maids of honor come this past weekend to spend some time with me and visit the wedding venue to discuss what our next moves needed to be. I even tried on some wedding dresses! AHHH! Went for something completely on the…

    Creamy Almond Date Snacks

    I don’t know about you… But when I get home from working out at the gym, bikram, a run…just any kind of workout in general; I am ravenous! Maybe it is because I work out so hard? BOOYAH! This Fall I have been working out a lot, and honestly I feel really good about it. One of my favorite routines is this: This routine is awesome! Works you out and you can definitely feel it. Takes about40 minutes total if you are really moving through it. The running is 5 minutes and then all the moves are about 5 minutes. Try it out and see what you think! I have…
