GIRL DATE

San Francisco has so many cute cafe's, restaurants, and local shops to try out it can be tough to choose where to go. Last weekend I checked out Chantal Guillon, the perfect place for coffee and a sweet snack.

My friend Shannon and I have been collaborating a ton working on our blogs and taking photos together. We decided to get a little wild and enjoy some macaroons and soy latte's. Their macaroons are out of this world delicious. Our favorites were the salted caramel and Persian rose. If you're ever in SF, make sure you drop by!

Three things

I spent the weekend with my family at a beach house rental near Santa Cruz. We haven't done a "family weekend" like this in a while. We all caught up on much needed sleep, a lot of quality time together, some workouts, and good food. 

I realized how important it is to take time away from your normal routine to be able to find the awesomeness in a completely different routine.

Today I snapped this picture on my phone, and I just love it. It is very "me".

Some things I love making time for are 1. healthy lunch stops at whole foods, 2. reading a new amazing book, and 3. a delicious cup of coffee. This is my perfect recipe for "me time". I topped off the day doing another thing I love; writing this blog post.

What's your perfect weekend? 

I hope you all had an enjoyable, healthy, and fun one! 

Protein Banana Craze

Iced coffee makes me CRAZY, and I'm BANANAS over protein smoothies and shakes. It's about time I made a coffee banana protein shake! Try this one out!!!

My favorite protein shake right now:
1 scoop Vanilla protein (I like Life Basics)
1 cup coffee
1/4 c almond milk
1 banana
1 tbsp almond butter
1 cup ice

Blend and enjoy!
