life, love, and the pursuit of happiness

By

On Sunday, I spent the day with a dozen of my girlfriends having an absolute blast. Sarah organized a bachelorette day, and I felt so loved just to get to spend time with my BFFs!

I had a general sense of what we would be doing, but Sarah didn’t share any of the details. We began the day at Keswick Vineyards with a wine tasting and a lovely picnic.

All my favorites, from pimento cheese to pesto kale salad!

Our next destination was The Clifton Inn! It’s just minutes outside of town and feels like a beautiful country escape. Plus they have a great pool!!

Sarah booked a suite for us to use for changing (and a few of us spent the night too).

We put on our suits and headed for the pool. The Clifton was so accommodating to our group, and while we were not the quietest bunch of ladies, we kept the noise level to a minimum.

LEGS!

That pool!! There was also a hot tub which we spent a lot of time in as well. The pool was freezing!

After our swim, we went back to the room to get dressed for dinner. Sarah organized everyone to wear a black dress so I stood out from the bunch in black and white. Very cute idea!

Love these ladies! Our group got bigger and bigger as the day went on.

For dinner, we had a three-course menu, which we enjoyed out on the terrace. We had a choice of any of the apps, entrees and desserts on the menu but our price was set, which made it easier on everyone. I bought a few bottles of wine for the table!

Burrata cheese!! All the heart eyes.

Marshamallowy scallops with charred cauliflower and foam! Everyone raved about this dish.

And finally, Sticky Toffee!

It was such an amazing day from start to finish. We talked about life, love and the pursuit of happiness. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful, supportive, and caring group of friends <3

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
