Paint & Smoothies

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you're sick of seeing my living room photos but I wanted to take one with the rug that came this week. :) Isn't it perty?

And you can't really tell in the first photo but this is the end table to the left of the couch. It was originally a tad too beige, so today I decided to paint it so it would match our coffee table.

Tah-dah!

Now both pieces match, thanks to the mad paint-matching skilz over at my local paint shop.

Lately I've been making a lot of fruit smoothies. Today I combined a banana, a peach, a small carrot, 3 strawberries, two small scoops of Mango fat-free sorbet, and a splash of orange juice and made a delicious healthy smoothie! The only thing it was missing was ice. Oops! Next time I'll remember that important key ingredient.

Fruit smoothies are delicious, healthy, and super easy to make. AND there's no SPLENDA (EW!) and tons of other added preservatives like some of the ones at Jamba Juice. (I'm still in shock that they add a milk-based-Splenda-combination to their drinks. I just learned this last Saturday when I asked the Jamba Juice dude what exactly went in my Strawberry Nirvana smoothie.)

Why don't you start your weekend off right with a lil' smoothie for yourself?

(+) For Valentine's Day C and I are going to Tsunami Sushi for dinner. We refuse to go anywhere on Sunday with all the other thousands of couples (not to mention partake in the fixed menus. Cheezy!) so we are celebrating early and going tonight, Friday.

(+) I joined 24 Hour Fitness this week and have already been four times this week. The classes are very worthwhile and tons of fun. I hope to continue to go at least 3+ times a week!

(+) Lastly, thank you Inside Edition for making me gag a little after learning that the Kardashian's make 10K per tweet each time they advertise something. Awesome.
