First Fashion Giveaway

by 1,942 Comments

Something occurred in the gym today that’s never occurred before.

I fell asleep.

The weirdest thing is that I awoke this morning feeling completely rested. Ryan and I were up late talking about a lot of potential changes in our lives, and this morning when the alarm went off, I felt like I woke up deep in thought and ready to tackle the world! 

After 25 minutes of cardio on the treadmill (I did this workout), I decided to forgo my initial plans of completing a total of 50 minutes of cardio in favor of taking a yoga class.

The class was relaxing. It wasn’t too hard and I didn’t really sweat. I simply stretched my body and relaxed my mind, which felt great.

At the end of the class when we were laying in savasana, my mind wandered and I actually dozed off! Since I wasn’t feeling tired at all this morning, I can only guess that I fell asleep because my mind was finally at peace after it had been running non-stop last night. I think I was only asleep for a minute or two, but I awoke totally shocked that I actually managed to fall asleep. I never thought that would happen!

Breakfast

After yoga, a quick walk with Sadie and a fast shower, I was ready for breakfast!

On the menu this morning: Strawberry ice cream!

Okay, not really, but it was smooth, cold, thick and creamy. Plus, it was a heck of a lot healthier than ice cream, making it a perfectly wonderful way to start my day.

I made my strawberry “ice cream” by first blending one cup of frozen strawberries with a tiny splash of almond milk in the Vitamix. (I’m tellin’ ya, this blender is a champ!) I then added one 6-ounce container of plain Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of honey to the mix and blended away.

I was really impressed with this concoction! I topped my “ice cream” with strawberry and apple cereal puffs and chia seeds and dug in!

I gobbled this up like it was goin’ out of style!

Speaking of style…

Stella & Dot Giveaway

And now for an exciting moment on PBF… My first ever fashion-related giveaway!

A couple of weeks ago, Lori, a Stella & Dot stylist, reached out to me about offering a giveaway to PBF readers to win an amazing Stella & Dot necklace.

Stella & Dot makes absolutely gorgeous statement jewelry as well as elegant, classic pieces. When she first sent me her website, I was sick in a hotel room and spent a good hour looking through everything creating a wish-list in my head.

I was fortunate enough to receive the beautiful turquoise necklace I wore on Friday from Lori.

    I liked your blog earlier this year on FB when I started my first big girl job, aka working 9-5 behind a computer all day. Reading your blog allows me to daydream about moving to downtown Orlando, getting a dog, my next workout, and what’s for dinner… all while at work! Thank you! 🙂

    Falling asleep in savasana is not only awesome, it should practically be a requirement! It means you are truly relaxed 😉 I used to doze off all the time in my All-Levels classes!
