Healthy snacks and pizza Fridays

-
This weekend I tried a few new snacks that I saw randomly on social media and tried a different method for the weekend pizza that I like to make as an easy dinner that my family loves. 

I first tried possibly the easiest snack to put together which is like a rice cake sandwich. I've seen some with nutella and banana slices or Guacamole with boiled or fried egg. I choose to go with chunky peanut butter and a drizzle of honey with 2 unsalted rice cakes. It was really good and full of protein. I have been wanting more protein rich snacks to help maintain my gains 💪🏽

Another snack that I might implement for my sweet and sour cravings is the Oui dairy free yogurts. I've tried the vanilla one before but this time I tried the Strawberry (and later tried some of the Mango one that my husband got) It was good as well. The thing that makes this a good alternative for full dairy yogurt is the same reason I can't eat too much of it. The tangy after taste that makes it taste yogurt-like is something I don't like a lot of so it will be an occasional snack. 

For my Friday pizza, I actually ended up doing it on Saturday because my mom made us Spaghetti. (The vlog days Sunday because I  got mixed up in editing) I usually make a French bread pizza but this time I decided to try the pre-made pizza crusts they had in the store. I made it the same way I make my French bread pizza, garlic butter, sauce, cheese,and pepperoni. It was drier than the French bread and crunchy in a more stale bread sort of way after baking it. I definitely missed the soft, deep dish texture of the French bread. It's good but next time I'll experiment with actual pre-made pizza dough. 


And for the rest of the vlog I accidentally didn't add it because I thought that the Saturday footage was the Sunday footage because I didn't do much on Saturday. 
That's all for now.
Stay Hydrated! 🥤

Updated skincare routine | May 2024

Good morning, ladies! So last time I posted about the skin care routine it was BYOMA set that I found to see if I'd like the brand. Since then, I have gone to buy full size products, and this is what I have in my routine today. (I put this in order of how I use them) I start off with creamy jelly cleanser and tri-ceramide complex, licorice root, and green tea. It's a great gentle cleanser so it won't be able to take off all of your make up in the first go. It has a good lather and doesn't have any irritating fragrances. Next, I go in with the hydrating serum it also has the Tri-ceramide complex but with this one has squalene and glycerin in it. I like this one because it goes into the skin really easy and smooths on real quick. It makes this nice hydrating layer. I really love this specifically in the winter because it was just incredibly dry here in Colorado.  Onto the real moisturizing product, the moisturizing gel sunscreen it also has a tri-ceramide complex but t...

Running & Cardio | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
Running and cardio has become a very integral part of my fitness routine. I run three times a week and then use the Stairmaster at least once a week, usually. I used to be horrible at running. I used to be incredibly slow. When I first started, the goal was always to run 2 miles, but it was also to run 2 miles quickly. When I started, I would run two miles in 23 minutes and some change, but my goal was to run two miles in 18 minutes and 30 seconds. It took me two months to hard training and injuring myself, but I eventually got to do it. For years after that, I still hated running, but I still had to do it. It wasn't until I took matters into my own hands that I was able to get better.  For years, I was made to train in groups who led the training based on their own abilities and just assumed that everybody else would be able to do it. A lot of people got injured but eventually we all just kind of were released into the gym and made to train whatever we needed to train. And I was v...

Supplements | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
When I started my fitness journey, I would try supplements here and there, but I wouldn't stick to any of them. I wasn't really keen on why I would need them and what they were good for. I would try protein powders and not like the taste and the kinds that we had were not even the optimal for me. And when I would try pre work, I would try them just for fun. The flavors were okay enough to be like "I can take this", but I never added it into my routine until years later. The first supplement that I would stick to somewhat is protein powder because I knew that you needed to feed the muscle for it to grow. So, I would add that in to help when I wasn't eating enough. More years later when I had issues getting the energy and the motivation to workout, I would add in some pre-workouts and there are a couple ones that I've tried that I liked and then there's some that I really did not like. In the end I had to experiment a little to figure out what I liked, and I...
