australia dreaming

oh hey girl heeeey.

so yesterday was iiight homies. went on a 3mile run, and a hour long walksie.
also, i worked on an essay for independent study since i'm taking a quarter off school. i've said on the blog before that sweet tooth is going to aussi in... holy sh!t, in 1 month. but really i was just banking on it, because home girl did not know if she got excepted to the program... low and behold i did! really though, i'm sure i could of handed them a crap essay and they would of snatched up my dollars ha! but regardless i'm suuuupa pumped to be volunteering abroad in a month!!!

anyways shall we take a look at them eats, ya'll?

brekkie was a delightful yogurt bowl with all the fixins: bluebUrries, sliced nectarine and naner, cinnamon and a spoonful of better n'pb. (i believe i the photo i snapped is in the post below... if your reeeal curious).

on to snacks, glorious snacks!

few pieces of broc, 1/2 sliced rep peppa, some shrooms and sabara hummus... plus a bomb ass nectarine doused in cinnamon.

ww la tortilla factory wrap, 1/2 smashed naner and a tablespoon of almond butta, almond breeze mix.

carrots n' more hummus... it's love.

honey crisp with cinn, duur.

salad: spinach, capers, shrooms, bluebUrries, a spoonful of salsa and balsamic vinegar. side of tj'seggroll and 1/2 a block of tj's teriyaki tofu fried up, then dipped in hot saucy and dijion mustard... classy.

dessert... even though it has more than enough calories to be considered a meal :)

1/2 a nectarine, small spoonful of almond butta slash almond breeze mixture, some dark chocolate. in da bowl... tj's instant vanilla pudding. the pops bought this, when he goes grocery shopping on his own he tends to buy random ass sh!t. i probably made it wrong because i used soy milk instead of 2%, so it was kind of soupy. i still ate it, plus what doesn't taste delish topped off with original puffins?

last night i watched 'the beautiful life', umm don't think i'll be getting into this show. is it just me, or is mischa barton incredibly obnoxious?
then i finished my night by reading, of course. puts this girl to sleep betta than a lullaby.

well mamacita's ti's thursday, almost friday... and that is always a holiday. enjoy yo' days :)

recappin'

hello beautiful bloggies!
i know, i know... sweet tooth has been m.i.a. my post are spastic and sporadic but i can't stay away from you lovely ladies for too long!
i've been taking random pics of my eats... but not uurverything, so right about now i'll give you a lil' slide show 0f some eats i've been diggin' ova the last week.

quality bfast's...
la tortilla factory wrap avec almond butta. with a side of strawbUrries and a date with a little of that ab magic.

honey crisp with cinnamon and wrap with ab, surprisingly.

hello darling. it is i, oat bran.
1st timer eating this stuff, it may have just replaced my oatmeal.
1/3 cup oat bran, 1 cup water, 2 scoops canned pumpkin. toppin's: 1/2 mashed naner with cinnamon, small handful of original puffins, big ole scoops of almond butta mixed with almond breeze.

of course yogurt messes.

1 tj's 0% greek honey yogurt mixed with cinnamon, bluebUrries, original puffins and a big scoop of blended almond breeze and almond butta.

pretty much same as above, except the addition of sliced naner, nectarine and better n'pb. truly i don't give a sh!t if it's not full of 'organic' good-ness, it taste damn delish in my humble opinion.

the snackies.

as of late multiple rounds of this has been going on...

carrots, shrooms, cherry tomatoes and sabara hummus... bomb.

and this.
honey crisp n' cinnamon.

seriously i have been eating veggies dipped in hummus and apples like it is my job... too bad i don't get paid for such things.

also some of these have appeared before my eyes, and enjoyed by my taste buds.

my favorite flav clif bar, chocolate chip.

and yogurt messes, not just for bfast homez.

tj's 0% honey greek yogurt mixed with 2 scoops of pumpkin. naner with cinnamon, original puffins and a scoop of better n'pb.

to the dinna's:
1 tj's egg roll dipped in tzatiki sauce, sweet tater fries dipped in ketchup mixed with some hot sauce lovin'. then of course my veggies; shrooms, red pepper, carrots and more of that delightful thing called hummus.

tj's teriyaki baked tofu with dijon mustard mixed with hot sauce, random? perhaps. salad: spinach, capers, carrots, red peppas, balsamic vinegar and hummus. yum.

dessert has been consumed while getting my reading rainbow on...

naner with cinnamon, better n'pb. i know some of you out there have mixed feelings about this stuff but i like it... when i dip my chocolate in it, duurr. what a glutton.

i'm on a serious effing apple kick. pink lady, dark chocolate plus better n'pb.

pretty much fruit, chocolate and pb... or fake pb as the case may be, is all this sweet tooth needs.

some adventures i've had...

1. going to the opening of neiman marcus: i went because they bought one of my pops paintings... oh yayer he's a artist. let me tell you, this was a surreal effing experience... i felt like i step into a high society world of excess. seriously every body was walking around in real louboutin's, channel bags, adorned with diamonds, you know the works... while home girl was reppin' the forever 21, hard. no offense to anyone who can afford that kind of lifestyle, but it weirds me out! plus most people there were pretentious...
but i did get bomb free cocktails and ate a TON of delish food they had everywhere... while most people just look at it ha! okay, enough of that spiel.

2. got a tattoo! picture to come :)

3. going up to bellingham to visit my college homies!

4. watched 8 hours of football... what the fur? somehow i got convinced to go to a sports bar to watch the seahawks dominate. then watched another 4 hour game upon returning. so football is fine and dandy... i just rather not have 8 hours of my life consumed by it, ya know?

well chicas have a ballin' humpty hump day!

NEW YORK, i love you.

title of a movie coming out? perhaps. but ti's true... i am in love with new york. kind of a late recap BUT i shall share nonetheless. last weekend the bestie's and i packed our bags and headed for nyc. we stayed with my gracious host of a cousin. shackin' up at her apartment in the heart of greenwich village, she be big ballin'.

upon arriving we roamed around soaking up the life of the city. oh and we saw whitney from the hills 2 times, she mean mugged my cousin ha! and we blocked jodie foster on the street not even realizing it was her. she said "excuse me", i said "sorry"... it was deep.
then we had a lil' picnic while looking at the jwursey shoreline.


we came back to the digs and got all sorts of dolled up.
1st night on the town...

sassin'.

outside bar in the meat packing district! rach, me, mish and my cousin.

after this we ended up going to a euro dance club in the cheslea neighborhood, def not my scene. but i somehow got convinced to go there. once there we ended up behind the dj booth dancing! uhh when in rome right?

the next day we got our tourist on...

time square.

oh marc, if i could i would adorn myself in your clothing all the time. but alas, i am broke. therefore my 'shopping' consist of raiding my ma's closet for items she rocked in the 70's.

this picture could have been really cute... but then i effed it up by talking on the phone. whoops.

hello lover. fro yo from yogurt land... it is amazing. they have a sh!t ton o' flavors and you choose them yourself. underneath those beautiful toppings lies taro, pb, plain and cookies n' cream flavor... i might have gotten a little excessive. but hey, they charge by how much it weighs... so i had to live it up.

we went to din at a mexi restaurant... they didn't serve chips n' salsa, we had to special request this. ummm guess how much this shanty platter cost? 5 bucks... for 6 chips. what the fur? not legit.
later at wicked willy's near nyu.

mish rocking her burthday suit. okay, no. but some close up face action, that's probably unnecessary.

then we chatted with these lovely irish lads. charming... kind of.

last night in town...
we were all a bit haggard by this point, always good.

before din, got to get my free wine in! durrr.

asian tapas! delish. we got two more rounds... hey we needed to fuel up. that little gem of a drink you spy is a lyche cocktail, t'was delish.

then we rolled to a roof top bar, you could see all of manhattan... there was a hot tub on top, two people went in. i was embarrassed for them, yet highly amused.

this is where sh!t got weird. for some reason we thought it would be a good idea to stroll out of the club with some homeboy's (ehem, douches) because they had a "sick pad". bad plan, yet for some reason we went, sketch i know.
i was expecting a hoover ville-esque crib yet instead we entered this...


this is my "where the f*#k am i" face...

needless to say we bounced.
next morn woke up got brunch and soaked in the beautiful nyc sun rays.
oh and my cousin is amazing and bought us these gems.

what a doll, just look at those beauts.

before leaving we wandered here, an inside market in the meat packing district... it's in the old nabisco factory from the 1800s. legit.

it was a heart wrenching goodbye :(

welp m'dears, thats my recap of last weekends adventures.
i took a TON of pictures and truly just scratched the surface of the madness this trip entailed. however while there i did decide my life goal...
basically somehow get rich and live a fabulous life in nyc... mmm if only. ahaha!

well lovelies the 3 day weekend has come to a close, but only 4 more days till the weekend!

cuckoo for true blood (puffs?)

doooood its sunny here! yayer. welp it was sunny yesterday too... but since it's september i get this impending feeling the nice weather will be snatched away and replaced by seattle's dreary drizzles. just means i gots to soak it up while it last :)

so yesterday's bfast was a hot mess.
i made protein oats...
1/2 cup o' oats, 1 cup water, 1 scoop chocolate protein, cinn n' pumpkin spice plus topped off with a naner and more cinn.
gaaaaaggggg.... this was the worst thing i've tasted. the chocolate protein was revolting in oats. i was truly contemplating about just eating it. cause i mean, really... who likes to waste? but then i thought about it, and realized it wasn't worth the nast feeling i would get afterward.

so the sweet tooth had this at 9:00...
strawberries, la tortilla whole wheat wrap and a scoop of almond butta. oh plus my beloved coffee snuck it's way in the pic.
muuuuch better.

i preceded breekie by going to costco and tj's with the pops. i never pass up a chance to go grocery shopping, i love it. even when i'm in bellingham for school with no money i'll go in stores to look at the bomb goods they have... and not buy them. actually, now that i think about it why do i put myself through that torture?? oh because i love food.

then i got a little hangry round 1:30.
mushrooms and cherry tomatoes sans hummus, surprisingly. 0% fage mixed with cinnamon, a couple of sliced strawberries and a spoonful of better n'pb.

a mere two hours later at about 3:45 i had a slight head ache, the cure? more food.
tofurky smoked hickory slices with 1 laughing light cow cheese dispersed within them... dipped in some good ole hot sauce. also, a pink lady apple in all it's crisp juicy glory.

a little after i went for a nice run, then walk, then run again... outside. let me tell you, i don't know why i confined myself to the treadmill sometimes. i used to run outside all the time, then i got lazy and used the tread. but i always feel 10X more amazing and in touch with my body (mmmm) than when pounding away on that damn machine.

around 5:30 a present came in the mail! true blood hooray! the last two episodes of the 1st season. twas a joyous moment.

i cleaned the kitchen, started tidying my room then realized i wanted a bath. i never take baths, but my muscles are a sore son ofa b!tch right now.

at 8:00 i finally had din. while watching true blood, of course.
1 block of tj's baked tofu, then i fried it up with pan stove top. dipped in hot sauce mixed with a touch of ketchup... getting gormet on ya ass! ha, ok not at all.
bowl o' veggies: mushrooms, carrots, cherry tomatoes and SABRA hummus!
holy shit... i'm never going back. before i used to get meza hummus and it's iggght BUT this stuff is amazing! fo reals.
also, a mejool date and a light laughing cow cheese eventually spread in it and on the carrots.

i watched the true blood episodes and am currently going through withdrawals because i need to watch season 2... it's a life or death situation.

after 10:00 while reading i busted out this treasure.
4 squares of tj's dark chocolate then dipped them in better n'pb. so this took me about 45 minutes to finish... what can i say, i like to savor the flavor (cheese). also, i had some tea avec soy but never finished it.

alright fly girls (yes, j lo style)... i'm going to begin my day.
oh and it's memorial day weekend, holllla! hope you guys kick it real hard, whereva you be.

hidy ho

i don't know, i couldn't think of anything for a title. so hidy ho is the logical choice.
good day beautiful blogette's!

lets back track to yesteryore...
this is what i broke my fast at 9:00.
1/2 cup o' oats, 1 cup aqua, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 light laughing cow cheese, some hot sauce lovin' and salt and peppa. lets just say i be feeling these savory oats, delish.

for those of you who don't know i plan on taking a quarter off my senior year of college to volunteer in australia. what inspired this madness? this sweet tooth is restless. honestly i can't stay in one place for too long... i start to get stir crazy. plus who wouldn't want to go kick it with the aussi's?? anyways i finished 2 essay's i had to turn in and mailed them out for my application.

around 1:30 i was ready for some food.
a tiny scoop of hummus, few carrots and 2 mushrooms sliced and diced.
then...
1 frozen naner, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, cinnamon n'pumpkin spice and two ice cubes blended all up.
for some reason this tasted waaay better than yesterday. hey, i'm not complaining.

i did a massive clean in my kitchen. it was looking rough.
around 4:00 i wanted another little treat, can you blame me?
white nectarine drowned in cinnamon, just the way i like it.

after this i went for a walk slash run outside. i'm pretty sore right now so i didn't want to push myself. however i apparently i got really into this stroll, jog, run, power walk thing because i was gone for an hour and a half. came back doused in sweat, ew, so promptly got my shower on.

around 7:30 i had din.
1 salmon burger with ketchup n' dijon mustard for muh dippin'. also a red bell pepper on it's last leg and 3 mushrooms. with about 4 table spoons of hummus and a little tzatziki sauce. kept me nice and full.

after cleaning up my room and doing some laundry, i settled in to watch some trashy tv... a necessity in life. watched a re-run of real world cancun, makes me feel extra classy. however i couldn't bear to watch the new episode at 10, don't get me wrong i all for trashy tv but sometimes it makes you want to tear your eyes out.

therefore i read and munch on this dime piece around 10:30
newman's extra dark chocolate and about two tablespoons of better n'pb for the dippin'. and i had some tea with soy. perfect ending to my day.

well lovely ladies i'm off to do something productive with my life... or at least attempt. have a balla thursday, almost the weekend!
oh and i'll post new york pics tomorrow :)
