If anyone is wondering if I am back to eating my oats combo of oats + egg whites + berries + coconut oil? Well yes, yes I am so happy about it. It may be one staple that I was acutally so sad about having to give up for that 1 week before show–yes I know it was just a week, but this combo is just so darn good! HERE is a STEP BY STEP showing of just how I make my oats

Just go. Make it. Like Now

I made a protein shake! I couldn’t decide what flavor to go with, so I used 1/2 scoop chocolate protein and 1/2 scoop banana cream protein (Both Optimum Nutrition brand which I think blends and tastes just great for the price and quality!)

It was delicious indeed! Like chocolate covered banana. I have also been adding some raw oats into my smoothies. Sometimes I make a protein shake and bring it to work, so it sits in the fridge at work for a few hours. I love that the oats soak up the liquid and become chewy and doughy as I drink it. Its a must try!

I know I mentioned in my last post that I rummaged through my mom’s old jewlery when I went home and came out with some great finds! I thought I would do a mini fashion show here of what I found and also some of my favorite jewlery pieces

I snagged this green bracelet. I am unsure what type of stones these are but the bracelet is awesome! I love the color and it is perfect for summer time. I have only recenty gotten really into jewlery, before that you would find maybe one other bracelet or necklace lying around my room. Well, these days I have acquired quite a bit!

These are some new purchases I got (not from my moms house) The two bracelets and ring are from Forever 21 and cost a total of about $12.00. You can snag some GREAT stuff and it doesn’t have to come from Bloomingdales or a fancy boutique–trust me!

The jewlery box (I also love that pink bracelet in the bottom right corner!) As you can see there is lots of shiny bling–well I love the bling and all things sparkly…its the competition that sparked that inside of me!
