- you guys. i've had the week from hell. literally everything that could have gone wrong did – and as i was typing this, frankie broke a magnet from our cruise last year – sighhh. – is this a sign my 2016 is going to be really rough? i'm trying to practice positive thinking.
- um. it SNOWED today. obviously it started snowing the second i needed to go outside to the grocery store.
- my younger cousin has been visiting since thursday and we did a whole bunch of stuff yesterday, including seeing the statue of liberty ^^^
- i made chocolate & blueberry muffins today and FORGOT the stupid greek yogurt. wahhhh. they taste okay though, so i'm going with it. (plus i slathered peanut butter on them and peanut butter fixes EVERYTHING).
- THIS is life. adele is LYFE.
- i'm already prepping my superbowl menu. today i made buffalo chicken dip (i don't put any cheese in it and add a little extra ranch and NO ONE NOTICES – it always disappears. just an fyi.) and i bought the stuff to make pulled pork. I'll freeze the buff chix already made and then i'll freeze the pork in the barbeque sauce ready to just throw in the crockpot on superbowl sunday. so excited. also i'm planning on making guac (do you want the recipe???) andddd the fave pretzel dip! i'm probably gonna make a few other things too. don't worry i'll keep you updated on my full menu.
- we're pretty much DYING over here with no good TV. i started to watch making a murder and then i went to DC and frankie didn't want me to watch without him. i also have been binging on vanderpump rules when i'm in the kitchen (it's my new obsession to watch TV while cooking & doing the dishes)
- frankie's making me an alcoholic smoothie right now and i'm soooo excited.
- ugh. i fell down the anthropologie hole today and it was epic. EXPENSIVE. but epic nonetheless. sighhh.
Homemade Mayo + Fry Sauce!
01.12.16
this is a weird post. i know its weird. you know its weird. because ITS WEIRD TO TALK ABOUT MAYO. right?
so i'm starting off by acknowledging its weird and now we can move on.
… because what if talking about mayo didn't make you cringe. what if you didn't immediately think PROCCESSED when I said mayo. what if you thought: five wholesome, good-for-you ingredients? Read More

01.10.16- you guys. i'm EXHAUSTED. like SO TIRED. as in i'm surprised i'm even awake writing this. wait am i sleeping? ugh.
- SO. frankie got the bigger blacker box (the box that you can buy to hold ALL the cards against humanity cards) for christmas… AND IT DOES REALLY HAVE A SECRET CARD IN THE TOP. so exciting.
- i'm going to D.C. tomorrow. TELL ME ALL YOUR FAVE PLACES TO CHOMP. (i was gonna say munch but i felt like it was weird.)
- um can we talk about the weird weather today. and by weird i mean miserable. frankie and i had a 5 mile race at 9 am and it was TERRIBLE. not only was the course hilly… it was DOWNPOURING when we walked to the race so we showed up soaked and almost late. great day.
- side note: those races have THE BEST bagels. i'm dying to know where they're from (anyone who runs NYRR races do you know??)
- we had boozy brunch this morning too and it was glorious. we went to Ichabod's. the chicken biscuit…. OUT of this world. i'd go back and just eat that tbh.
- TV. none of our regular shows are on right now still. but! i did start watching making a murderer and i'm obsessed. (2 episodes in and trying not to hear spoilers or spoil it for anyone else is like the worst.)
- how have i not had any links so far in this post? here have this one. <- it actually took forever to find one that was not golden globes related. and also i'm now going to put washi tape on my chargers for sure. this one is actually really good too.
- can we also agree that H&M beauty nail polishes have the BEST brushes? makes painting my nails a breeze. thank goodness.

01.03.16- HOW WAS YOUR NEW YEARS? I sat on my couch and gave my boyfriend the present of finishing one of the many many shows on his obsessive TV iPhone note. ha. We had pizza and sangria and lounged around and it was glorious.
- Um I'm like super obsessing about skin care right now. I spent an obnoxious amount of money on crap to keep my face moisturized in this terrible winter cold. What do you use?? Do you want to know what I use? Tell me!
- You know how people always complain about newbies at the gym after New Years? Can I complain about all the people who suddenly care about cooking/eating healthy and as a result stress me out to the max in the grocery store? Ugh.
- An open letter to my boyfriend (that I didn't write but I love it and think it applies 90%)
- I'm super into goals and planning right now. Tell me some of yours? Do you want to know mine? I'm actually kind of obsessed and I made Frankie sit down and write out goals too… Because I'm psychotic.
- Are any of you doing the TIU challenge?? I want to start making meal plans/ telling you what I'm doing to workout but for the next 8 weeks everything is laid out for me in the challenge, but maybe when it's over I'll start posting that stuff.
- Tv – is there even anything on right now? I'm over the winter hiatus. But really. i'm secretly kind-of-not-so-secretly into married at first sight again. GAH. i hope david and ashley make it. i loveeeee him. thoughts?
- chris pratt. need i say more?
- WAHHHHHH miranda lambert is dating someone??? nooooo. ugh. i secretly was holding out hope. UGH. thomas rhett and his wife are officially my new fave country couple. damn.
