The best month of the year is here! Wheeeeee!!

On Friday night Mazen and I went to the Nest Realty County Fair, which is a fun event for all clients of Nest. I used Karen Ball via Nest to buy-sell-buy my houses, and she’s the best!

They had BBQ Exchange for over a thousand people.

There was plenty of food, but a shortage of places to sit!

On Saturday morning Mazen and I had chill time hanging out at home. E.T. in the closet!

Big breakfast:

I swear I have changed 100 lightbulbs in the past few weeks!

We went to the gym for a short workout. I told Mazen I wouldn’t be long because I was just going to stretch my legs, and when I kissed him goodbye he said “Have fun stretching your legs!” <3

Lunch back at the casa was a salad with cheese, cottage cheese, and almonds. Plus some of Mazen’s sweet potato fries.

Matt came to pick up Mazen for some time together, and I went out shopping. I had a Pottery Barn reward coupon that was about to expire.

First though, I got a Roasted Almond latte at Capital Teas and went through Williams Sonoma.

The marble / copper trend was ON POINT in there!

I found this sweet end table at Pottery Barn as a sample sale. I’ve been hunting for an end table for my upstairs couch for a while, and combined with the 15% off coupon, $25 off coupon, and $25 rewards certificate, I snagged this guy for only $83. SADLY something happened on the ride home, and the top cracked in half. I cried fat tears and then went to Instagram for advice on how to fix it. Going to research marble glue and apoxy. For now, I’m rocking an end table with a rough edge. Maybe it sort of looks natural that way?!

The guy and I had a little cocktail hour on my deck before heading downtown for a date night.

We went to Cville Escape Room before dinner, which was a ton of fun. You get “locked” in a room, and then along with six other people figure out a crime scene. Our room was a mad scientist laboratory, and there were tons of locks we had to find the combinations for. I think I would have preferred it if we’d been with friends instead of strangers, but overall it was fun!

Next stop was Zocalo for dinner.

The tuna tartare was sooo good! My first time having it.

On Sunday morning I made another test batch of the pumpkin millet porridge I’m doing for a future post. TBA!

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

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

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
