Hi, friends!

It’s Friday and you know what that means: It’s time for another edition of What I’m Loving Lately! Ok, here we go… here’s what I’m loving lately!

2016 Summer Bucket List – It includes 100 things to do on the South Shore (and a bit beyond) this summer. It’s a really great round-up with tons of fun ideas!

Ramen Broccoli Slaw – Oh, yes! A healthier version of Ramen Noodles! Recipe coming to CNC soon! 🙂

Finally setting up appointments to get estimates to re-do our master closet – Finally! Our summer project most likely turned into a fall project, but it’s finally happening!

Honey Nut Cheerios – Truthfully, I never understood the obsession with Honey Nut Cheerios until recently, but now I can’t get enough of them in my life. I like them with milk and banana slices, mixed with dark chocolate as an evening treat, or covered in Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter.

The kindness of strangers – Ok, this is such a small thing, but it really made my day. Earlier this week, I was leaving The Coffee Shack with Quinn, got distracted, and left my iced coffee on the top on my car. As I started to drive away, two men jumped out of their truck and started waving their hands at me. At first, I was kind of freaked out, thinking I was about to hit something as I backed up, but then one of them pointed to the iced coffee on the top of my car. Ahh, yes, then I remembered. I got out of my car, grabbed my coffee, and thanked them for letting me know. One of the guys replied: “I didn’t want losing it (the iced coffee) to ruin your day.” It was so nice and definitely made me smile.

17 Pictures Of Bill Clinton Realizing That Balloons Exist – So funny!

The never-ending concealer – Guys, this is the SAME tube of concealer that I blogged about in December 2012. I know it’s gross, but this stuff just lasts forever and ever. And it’s seriously THE BEST concealer. I actually bought a new tube a few months ago, thinking I was about to run out, but this one is still kicking! FYI: I use the “light” shade.

Candied Pecan Chex Mix – I made this recipe a few times over the holidays, and it was always a big hit. I have a family reunion tomorrow, so I’m going to make a huge batch to bring with me. I mean, everyone loves Chex Mix, right!?!

CVS/pharmacy send offers to card – Any one else take advantage of CVS/pharmacy’s “send offers to card” coupons? I get them in my email inbox, but you can also download the CVS Pharmacy app to send coupons and deals right to your ExtraCare card. For instance, just the other day, I had a discount offer for 25% off a purchase that I sent right to my ExtraCare card. I ended up going to CVS a couple of days later and kind of forgetting about the coupon, but the employee ringing me up received a register prompt and asked me if I wanted to use my coupon. Sweet! I saved 25% off my entire order and it was so easy!

The Very Best Sardine Salad – I keep saying that I am going to eat sardines and this salad might just be the catalyst. My plan: Make this salad for happy hour later today and eat it along side of a glass of wine! 🙂

Trader Joe’s Microwavable Mac & Cheese – Qman loves this stuff and we love it because the ingredients aren’t scary and we don’t waste food since the small portions are perfect for a toddler. We used to make Quinn regular sized boxes of mac & cheese, but he’d only eat a small part of it and we’d usually end up wasting some of it, so these smaller packages are great.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
