Last week of work!
So just a quick update on what's going. I quit my job. This is my last week, minus the 2 days a week I'll go in for just 45 minutes until we hire somebody else. I start hair school next Monday. I got the interview for the cheer adviser position but sadly, had to turn it down because the hours required clashed with my schooling. My parents come in town next weekend. And I realized that there are a ton of black pant options out there (for school), I'm just extremely picky and hated all of my options. And that's my little update.

These are a few of my favorite things...for the time being
So I may have an addiction...I've actually been struggling with this problem for some time now. And I'm here to confess, I have an addiction to blueberry smoothies and homemade tortillas. And I'm here to share it with you! I noticed that most tortilla recipes call for shortening (yuck!) So I have a substitute for that icky stuff. It's called, OLIVE OIL! And here's the recipe:
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup warm water (I heat mine up in the microwave for about 30-35 seconds)
And that's all it takes. Now for making them.
Add flour, salt, and e.v.o.o. Mix until it makes little clumps (it makes a big difference if you have like a Kitchen Aid over a hand mixer). Slowly add warm water, and mix until dough forms. Break into 2 inch sized balls. Flatten and cook in a skillet on medium to high heat until golden brown. That's it! Super easy, and super quick! It should make about 12 tortillas, but they're pretty small. So if you'd like to make them bigger for burritos or something then just make your dough balls bigger..duh!
Yum!
Okay and now I'll share my blueberry smoothie recipe with you. Because I know you all care oh so much!
Ingredients:
1 banana
2 oranges
All natural vanilla yogurt
2 cups Milk
Raw honey
1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
6-8 frozen or fresh strawberries
First put in blender, banana, peeled oranges, about 2 big spoonfuls of yogurt, about 2 cups milk (add more if you would like to make it more liquid like) and 2 big spoonfuls of raw honey. Blend together. Once everything is mixed add in your frozen blueberries and strawberries. If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and some water (or just milk or just water). And that's it. If you'd like to make it a green smoothie, simply add some spinach and broccoli and you've got your own homemade "super food" smoothie.
FIN!
Oh, I didn't take these photos...I stole them from google, whoopsie daisy!
Only 2 more weeks until I start school! Woo Hoo! Oh and I applied for a cheer advisor position so wish me luck on that too :)

Having the strangest/strongest cravings!
And that craving would be....WANTING TO GO TO HAWAII!! For the past month or so I've been wanting to go so bad! This feeling may have been provoked even more because of the fact that my parents and sister are there right now. I'm in the process of trying to convince Conryd that this summer would be perfect to go, especially because I found CHEAP tickets to fly to Oahu. So now I'm trying even harder to convince him, but so far, it's not working :( I know right now really isn't the perfect timing, seeing as how we're pretty much broke and I'll be starting Paul Mitchell the end of this month and really can't afford to miss a week of school, but who cares! It's Hawaii! I guess the best I can do is reminisce of our wonderful 2 weeks we spent there last year for our honeymoon...
So these aren't the beessst pictures, but it's the best I have :)
Awh sweet paradise! Anyways, I'm still working on getting us there, so keep your fingers crossed!
Oh yeah good news, well new news I guess. But for those of you who don't know, I'm starting Paul Mitchell the end of this month and really looking forward to it. Not just because it's school specifically for my future career, but because that means I'll be doing a lot less hours at work! YAY! I'm so sick of working it's ridiculous. So yay for less hours! Anywho, just my quick little update. Sorry it's not very exciting but not much is going on in our lives. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
P.S. If you're craving something sweet to eat but don't want to eat junk, try cutting up some fresh strawberries and pour agave over it. It's so yum!!!! I may have an addiction to it :)
