nine

  
  1. I love these horoscopes every Sunday.
  2. Popcorn with melted, irish butter and salt. 
  3. I've been trying to make a packing list for my road trip this week, and while I've got a mental checklist going, it's still very vague and it's a bit anxiety inducing.
  4. This chocolate flourless cake. Super easy and always a crowd pleaser. 
  5. I don't do the creme fraiche portion of the recipe as I'm 99% dairy free and I don't think the cake needs it. That said, when I've gone to a party, etc. and I need the big guns, the fresh whipped creme is amazing.
  6. This necklace.
  7. Taking it to the next level with my workouts. I'm proud of myself for not going balls to the wall this time and remembering that slow and steady is a method too. 
  8. I often stop and start with the gym. When I push too hard, too quickly, I almost always injure myself and then I stop going. This time, I want it to stick.
  9. I have a goal. I want to look and feel my best when I turn 50 in September and I run my bare naked butt into the ocean.
  10. Here's the truth: I can't fuck around anymore. Bone density, weight maintenance for heart health...all of this is more important than its ever been. 
  11. I've had my head in the sand about turning 50 for at least 5 years. So ashamed and old-feeling that I'd resorted to averting conversations about my age; not telling anyone unless I was asked and it's a load of crap.
  12. I'm owning my age and I'm proud of it. And I intend to look and feel the best I can about myself, no more wallowing.
  13. Old dance-y dance songs to keep my booty moving have kept my booty moving this week.
  14. Like this song
  15. and this one too.
  16. My new favorite cocktail.
  17. Did I tell you that the mister bought us tickets to weekend one of Coachella? The line-up slays me.
