May Recap

So today is May 31st? Seriously? It's one of life's great injustices that the warm weather months always seem to fly by ten times faster than the cold weather ones. We've still got plenty of warm days ahead though, thank goodness!

This month was a good, albeit eventful one. During May, I...

Finished college (and yes, my grades are in and I actually passed)


Celebrated said graduation with a family dinner:


Met my new dog and the love of my life, Maggie!


Went to my cousin's baby shower:


Ate lots of delicious desserts:


Went to FitBloggin and saw new and old blog friends:


And went to London as a graduation trip with my dad!


Overall, it's definitely been a great month- despite some hair, passport and computer fiascos! All's well that ends well.

This morning I ended the month of May with what's become my favorite breakfast this month. Maybe I'll branch out and find a new one for June?


Hope you have a wonderful day!

What was the highlight of your May? What are you looking forward to in June?

Goodbye April, Hello May!

Good morning, everyone!! I can't believe it's MAY already. Every year it feels like winter lasts forever, and then the spring flies by. We're almost to my favorite month though- I love June the most!

April was a great month for me! I finally broke out of the winter blahs and had some really fun experiences:
   -   I went to the Vegetarian Food Festival in NYC Veg Food Fest
   -   I walked the More/Fitness Half Marathon
   -   I observed the 99th anniversary of the Titanic Sinking!
   -   I had dinner at Pure Food & Wine with the Pure2Raw girls
   -   I celebrated Easter with my family
   -   My family adopted a yellow lab named Maggie!
   -   I obsessed over and watched the Royal Wedding

I also wrote some fun posts:
   -   Striking a Balance (Or Not)
   -   Reader's Request: Restaurant Meals
   -   Overcoming Negative Body Comments

And created some tasty new recipes!
   -   Chocolate-Coconut Baked Breakfast Cookie
   -   Tempeh Taco Bites
   -   Peanut Butter Pancake Bake
   -   Blueberry Pancake Bake

Though April was awesome, May is looking marvelous (heh heh). It's going to be a busy month! I'll be finishing college, going to the FitBloggin' conference in Baltimore, and traveling to London with my dad. I can't wait!

I had an absolutely horrible night's sleep last night (long story), so made sure to start May on the right foot with my all-time favorite breakfast.


A big bowl of Kashi GoLean with frozen blueberries and almond milk. Always a winner!


Today is going to be entirely devoted to knocking out a 12-page final paper for one of my classes. I always work best under pressure, and I'm hoping the motivation to be done with this class forever lights a fire under me! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

What was the highlight of April for you? What are you most looking forward to in May?
