My Typical Day Of Food

This is mainly a picture blog of what a typical day of eating looks like for me. I know on youtube everyone wants to see pictures of the meals people talk about in their videos so I thought I might as well add some photos of the meals I had mentioned in my Weight Loss post.

This what breakfast looks like for me almost every day. A bowl of large flakes oatmeal, fruit (in this case its strawberries) & a mug of green tea.

Isnt this mug the cutest thing ever?! My mom got me two for my birthday :)

 

My lunch was a light caesar salad with parmesan cheese on top (no croutons!) and a mug of green tea. I find salads to be quite filling so I did not pair this with a fruit or add more veggies.

 This is usually the size of my dinner. I always have a portion of veggies, carbs & protein. I season my chicken myself with thyme, seasoning salt & oregano.  Then of course, my glass of skim milk!

I didnt bother with pictures of my snacks, I think an apple & yogurt are pretty self explanatory. I also end my night with mint tea right before bed to soothe & calm myself.

LongJohns The Cat

This is my newest baby. His name is LongJohns (it looks like hes wearing leggings or a pair of long johns) & hes 9months old (I got him at 7months). Hes such a big boy & full of trouble. My boyfriends sister found him at a home building center & she brought him home. James gave him to me the day before I moved into my new apt :) Hes quite the little character & drives me bananas most of the time. When the flash goes off he smushes his head into his neck & smiles, almost looking like a pig. His most recent fave past time? Getting stoned on catnip then tearing apart my room & breaking things like the mug in the last picture. He is, however, my little baby & no matter what he does he always remains cute in my eyes.

Product Rave: Orly "LUXE" Nail Polish

I know, I've done way too many nail polish reviews lately but I recently purchased a bunch so bare with me. This will be the last polish review for quite a few posts, I promise!

This review is a little bit different because this is a product I LOVE. This has to be my favourite polish I own. Im very new to the Orly brand, being a recovering nail biter I havent really been too into doing my nails for the past 19 years. Thankfully, I broke the habit last summer. This nail polish is called "LUXE", its a metallic cool gold. In the picture above you can see that it includes silver shimer as well. It doesnt disort the colour at all, just adds impeccable sheen. Im a huge fan of matte polishes or flat colour polishes so it was huge suprise to me how much I liked this one.

The application couldnt be better. The formula is smooth & glides on the nail. The brush is standard & very easy to maneuver. There was no gunking, streaks, or blobbing & its incredibly easy to clean up off the skin. The wear time is very long. I've had this colour on my toes for 3 weeks now & no chipping! My hands get beaten up much more though but it's lasted me two days now & hasnt even scratched. Mind you the metallic shine could be hiding that. It blocks imperfections from being noticable.

 

Overall score: 5 out of 5!
