This week has been so great! I have really been enjoying my new eating plan- here is what my breakfasts have looked like all week

 

Organic toast, jam & butter & 2 organic eggs, organic mango juice- this makes me happy

 

One of my blog readers sent me a book to read and some larabars- thanks Kathleen!

 

Some magazines that I have not had time to read yet- I haven’t made it to the gym this week..

 

Alvarado Bakery sent me some free coupons to try out their bread- I can’t wait to use these!

 

And Domino sugar sent me several free coupons as well!!

 

Living Harvest sent me some free coupons as well- I guess I will be making a trip to our Co-op soon since our small stores don’t carry these.

 

And lastly, some coupons from Ian’s - I’ve never tried their products- I will let you know what I think.

 

Most of the day was spent filling out College applications, looking at the class schedule and emailing the advisors for information- which is on the way thankfully! We should be starting B-term March 4- 2 days after my Bday!!

 

I had a late lunch, turkey on organic wheat, organic beef & barley soup & some organic raw veggies dipped in hummus

 

And I will be working here soon!!! I start my job tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.- my desk is across from my sisters. I am still pinching myself- I just prayed about my future last week & finding a job and God blessed me with one that fast! It doesn’t always happen that way, but I am definitely happy about it! Today, I am picking out my work outfits for both Thursday and Friday including accessories, shoes, bags, etc. I also need to do some prepping for lunch, etc. I want to start decorating my desk space soon as well. My sister said that if I was interested that I could get my Sub Agent’s License and sell insurance & quotes as well- which means that I would also get paid extra per every policy that I sell plus I would get paid more. I think this could be a great learning experience and I love learning new things! I will definitely be updating you guys on the work situation and how it is going. It may mean a little less blogging, but I will still be updating during the week

 

Okay, enough about work and onto a new product that I recently got to try out!

 

Artisana sent me some mini-sample jars of their products to review. How cute are they?

We endeavor to exceed your expecations for service.

Our goal is to make available to everyone the healthiest, freshest, best-tasting, organic all-natural foods, while giving something back to the communities we serve.

 

I of course, made some sweet goodies with my new products- I don’t have an exact recipe- but I pretty much used one jar of each product and added some oats, raisins, a few nuts, amazing grass wheat grass, stevia and agave. After rolling them into balls- I made some raw chocolate sauce by mixing cacao powder, agave and I think I used milk. Pour chocolate sauce over balls and refrig. So good!!

 

Honestly, they tasted almost identical to the Amazing Grass bars!!! Which are my faves! I really loved all of nut butters & coconut butter that Artisana sent for me to try out. Here is a list of retailers that sell Artisana products, I would definitely recommend checking them out

 

My Agenda for Today:

• Put together work outfits for Thursday & Friday
• Give Roscoe a bath
• Me a bath
• Pedicure
• Prepare work lunch/teas, etc.
• Call Tony’s gym- cancel membership
• See about switching back to wordpress- save $$ on hosting & domain name (will you guys still follow me?)

*Giveaway Alert- Kristin at Iowa Girl Eats is having another giveaway!!

Okay, I’m out, I have alot to do before I start my new job tomorrow! Hope you are all having a fabulous week!!
