Sometimes I get a craving for something sweet, even though I'm not hungry.
Okay, who am I kidding? I frequently get sweet cravings.
Tonight was no different but I knew if I tore open the bag of mini-eggs I have stashed in my purse, imense guilt would set in immediately after especially since I induldged enough this weekend. So, the alternative? A make-shift 'healthy' apple crisp.
It's has fruit, that's healthy, right?
It's simple. Go!
You will need:
* 1 apple
* 1 tsp. butter
* 1 heaping spoon of whole wheat flour
* cinnamon
* vanilla frozen yoghurt (optional and personally, I like the option)
With a fork, mix your melted butter and flour together until it forms a pebble-like consistency. Peel the apple (remove the skin) and slice into flat-ish pieces into a bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Sprinkle with flour/butter mixture. Add more apple pieces, repeat & microwave for about four minutes (or until it looks cooked). Enjoy.

Another shot of the beach. Your thoughts: Yawn. Snore. Boring! I'm on holidays though and not doing full fledged outfit picture taking and all that jazz... Is it Tuesday or Wednesday? I can't keep up. That's what true holidays feel like, right?
Shopping purchases post coming soon. Two days of vacation left.
Have you ever met someone you felt you knew for a long, long time, but really only knew them online? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hang out with another blogger? Have you ever Skyped, emailed and bonded simply through today's technology yet never physically been in the presence of someone you consider your 'friend'?
Jamie from Glam Latte and I 'met' over two years ago after discovering each others blogs. We became Internet friends fast and blog comments turned to emails and emails turned to Skyping and last week that turned into meeting in person. She tells the story so much better than I, but I have to say it was so great finally meeting my BBFF (best blogger friend for-evah; yes, we are that cheesy and we love it). It was a fluke and the stars aligned or something, but it happened. We had lunch, chatted for hours, and got one picture (ha!).
Have you ever met a blog friend?
You guys I'm in Florida! I'm having such a great time and am finally unwinding and relaxing. You know when you first arrive on vacation and you're all go-go-go!? Well, I am, and it takes me a few days to come down from the regular pace of life and just simply enjoy doing nothing, basically. I think I'm almost there.
Today I spent all day at the beach, which was glorious. It was over 80 degrees, sunny and breezy (we are staying in Cocoa Beach, Florida so the wind off the ocean is great as you can lie on the beach all day and not sweat, but it's still uber warm). I finished reading my book, I swam in the ocean (I body surfed & boogie boarded), I walked down to the pier and I sat out in the sun and relaxed (wearing SPF 30, of course). My spray tan is slowly fading and the albino in me is slowly showing her face (ha), but that's okay. People often comment when I come back from vacation that I 'didn't get much colour', but that's because I'm so fair skinned that one week in the sun isn't going to render me much colour, on top of that, I do tend to stay out of the sun (save today) as I try to be preventative (pre-mature aging) and I know I won't get much colour anyways!
I just finished dinner with my family and we ate at the condo for the first time since I've been here. Last night we went to this little pizzaria on the main street where you can get a pasta dish, salad and garlic bread for $5.99. What?! Where I'm from, that would be at least $15 and it was good, and there was a lot of food. I love eating down here, it's cheap and the portions are huge.
So I have five more days left in my holiday and then it's home time. So far the weather has been amazing, sunny and beautiful. Yesterday, my mom and I hit up Ross, Payless Shoes & Bealls. Although I tried on a ton of stuff at Ross, I only walked away with a couple items. The day before that was more successful at Target where I found a couple bikini tops, some new skinny pants (in magenta!) and some awesome Elf make-up products (we don't have Elf in Canada) including a super bright pink blush. We still need to hit TJ Maxx and maybe a few other places and I really hope I can go to a favourite: Bijoux Terner, which is at the Orlando outlet, before I head home.
Hope you are all having a great weekend & fabulous St. Patty's day!
Not my favourite photo, but for blog purposes, I'm letting you guys see it!
...for all you confused out there, we don't have a Target in Canada...yet.
