Breakfast

Spring Already?!

Happy Tuesday!

I had these totally horrible nightmares all night then woke up with a killer headache. Very, very weird. Sipping on some tea though and taking it easy, hoping it will fade away soon πŸ™

Chia oats for breakfast!

I used 1/3 cup oats, 1 T chia seeds, 1/3 cup soymilk, 1/2 cup water, blueberries, blackberries, almond butter and cinnamon.
It’s SPRING outside! Excited for outdoor bootcamp with Anna, Michaela and Lisa followed by an afternoon of writing in my backyard. πŸ™‚
Have a great morning!

    Feel better! I wanted to comment on your hair… I absolutely LOVE it all bouncy & volumized. i think it looks amazing, and there is a big difference even between that picture and some of the first ones you posted of your dark do! I think the volume really adds to the drama of it- in a good (great!) way.
