Wednesday Wellness: Like Walking on Clouds

My favorite running shoes: Asics! I love them! To me, they are like walking on clouds, especially after a 12 hour shift at the hospital. Yesterday was my first day running in a very long time. I had to walk part of the top of the hill, but my goal is to run the full 2 mile hilly park without walking by the end of the month. Wish me luck!

Ginger Jars!

Look what I found on one of my visits to HomeGoods the other day! I was so excited, as I love ginger jars and this was a mere $14! Then, to my surprise, I came home and the hubby said he liked it!!! (Probably because it was blue and white and not pink and green or floral or anything like that, but I'll take it!). So this is our new inspiration for our future master bedroom! I'm so excited. We are not moving any time soon, as we have to put the house on the market and are planning on doing that next spring, but now I can get ideas and plan a little! I'm thinking of a yellow, blue and white theme with beautiful blue and white ginger lamps on the nightstands and some yellow, blue and white toile curtains, bedskirt, and pillows.

This ginger jar was given to us as a wedding gift. We also received a beautiful multicolor smaller version. I cannot wait to put these around our house!

A New Day!

Today is the best day to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle. The hubby and I cleaned out the cabinets and refrigerator and are trying to get healthy again! Here's to all the yummy fruits and veggies we will be eating!! Hope you will enjoy my upcoming healthy recipes!

Hope You're Enjoying this Weather!

Something about fresh flowers makes me smile! I stopped by the store on my way home and picked up some beautiful flowers to help bring spring inside with me! My favorite flowers are from the farmer's markets, however I will have to wait until they are open in May and June for my Sunday Fundays!

I also stocked up on some lemons and limes (and lots of fresh fruit) at the store and placed some in my new Longaberger basket from my MIL. Reminds me of summertime!

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

What a great way to get your veggies in! This recipe was super easy and very delicious...even the hubster ate it and he is NOT a fan of cauliflower!!!

Ingredients
2 Tbsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 large head of cauliflower, washed and seperated into small florets
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste, optional

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease baking sheet or casserole dish. Place olive oil and garlic in resealable bag. Add cauliflower and shake well to mix.

Spread onto baking sheet.
Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Top with parmesan cheese and parsley. Stick back in oven for another 3 minutes.

Viola!

I should have put this on a pretty plate to look more appetizing, but the hubby came home late from golf that evening and I just couldnt wait! It tastes delicious, though! Give it a try!

Spring has Sprung!

It's an absolutely gorgeous day here in Maryland! During my morning run, I came across some beautiful yellow flowers that lined the park and it just made my day! I love this time of year, and I love having fresh flowers in the house. I will be sure to pick some up at the store when we return home from our Easter vacation at the beach!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Smooth as Silk

Who gets chapped lips when its a beautiful spring day? ME! But I have the ultimate solution!!! First, I rub some Philosphy lip scrub all over, which feels just wonderful!

Then, I wipe off excess lip scrub and apply Burt's Bees....and I'm a brand new girl in 24 hours max! And of course, I hydrate with lots and lots of water!

Love these two brands and don't know what I would do without them! Just thought I would spread the wealth a little bit!
