Oh man alive, thanks a bunches for all the encouraging comments on my last post! I can’t wait to share the Yosemite hike adventures with you guys 
Today I have a ton of random tidbits so hang onto your pantaloons mateys!
~~~~
#1. I ended up getting A’s in all of my classes and labs! It really feels great when hard work all semester pays off. I still can’t fathom how I managed an A in chem…now if only I could get that during summer with o-chem 1 and 2 BUM BUM BUM haha
#2 Remember how I went shopping for Vibrams last Friday? Well I fell in love with these at the store:
….the $110 price tag didn’t thrill me though, so I went online– verdict = SUCCESS! Found my size on sale for $50!!! SCORE!!!!
#3 Regarding my trainer/nutritionist: we’ve met up a few times and I already know we’re gonna get along SO well! She’s taken measurements and I’ve been filling out paperwork up the wazoo about typical eats, likes/dislikes, supplements, training, and pretty much my entire life history haha
All of my paperwork is due this Satuday and then she said she’s gonna start writing up the plans. I can’t wait to get this show on the road! I probably won’t be able to begin until after we return from Yosemite on the 31st, but either way at least I know 12 weeks of awesomeness is on the horizon!
#4 Recent eats to celebrate WIAW! (Thanks Jenn!!)
sunflower seed butter cup from tom thumb!! if it’s possible, this was better than a reese’s
the teeniest baby kabocha i’ve ever seen!
starfruit and mini pumpkin powercakes (www.powercakes.net) topped with a blob of peanut flour mixed with sunflower seed butter!
dates!!!! om nom nom perfect afternoon snackage with nut butta
a new to me bar! Nuts About Nuts NoGii paleo bar– it’s kinda like a larabar in texture and ingredients, but has tons of nut chunks in it like pistachios! SO GOOD!!!!!
#5 Today I have an appointment at the local cheapo hair salon—it’s been over a year since I’ve gotten my hair cut professionally! I’m thinking of doing something daring though… 
~~~~
And with that, I say adios muchachas! Much love from Tejas!
Have a great day everyone!!
Shopping online or going to stores? Favorite afternoon snack? Favorite way to wear your hair?
And of course– Best thing you’ve eaten this week?
those sunflower cups are uhhmazinggg!
congrats on getting all A’s little miss smarty pants
I ALWAYS get better deals online- i just totally hate waiting for the things to come in the mail! i’m so impatient lol and all A’s woohoo!
I always thought those shoes looked so funny but people seem to love them!
Good luck with that trainer and hair cut! Can’t wait to hear about it (and see it!!)
Good luck with the trainer and the hair cut. We need pics!
CONGRATS! I got a b- in o cem, booooo, but I have to admit that I’m just relieved I passed. Good luck!
I can;t wait to see how your work with your new nutritionist helps you!
I love greek yogurt with granola/dried fruits/pb or with a nummy nummy protein bar!
I’m so glad the trainer/nutritionist is working out for you!! That can be hit or miss and so frustrating too. You are going to make so much progress with a new plan!!
Your trainer sounds super thorough which is awesome! Hope saturday goes well for you. My fav afternoon snack is nuts, raw veggies, or rice cakes with nut butter! Re: shopping, I’m normally an in-store face to face shopping kind of gal. But I have bought lots of books online…saved huge amounts!
YESS book deals online are the BEST!!!
YAYAYA you are getting Vibrams..I am soo excited! HOORAY for the nutritionist update…so exciting. I need a hair cut too..in fact I think you have inspired me to do just this.
I have to buy my clothes mainly in store..if I don’t try them on I am cursed to have them not fit.
i’m so glad you’re having such a great experience with the nutritionist! and congrats on all your a’s!!! you deserve it!!!
Two things – firstly, I LOVE my vibrams so I hope you’ll love yours! And secondly, those suncups sound awesome! What a great alternative to peanut butter cups.
I can’t wait to see your hair! I bet it will look amazing
So you totally reminded me about how delicious starfruit is! Can’t even remember the last time I had some. Might need to change that now!
Congrats on your grades too! thats awesome
Congrats on your grades girl!
It always feels so good when you can see the results of your hard work all year.
Also, I just bought those Sun Cups when I was in the US and it was so awesome to eat them after all those years of never getting to eat Reese’s Pieces! They’re delicious!
wowowow you smartie pants!! congrats on the straight A’s! i wish i could be as proud of my grades but to be honest, i didn’t work that hard this semester
have fun with ochem! i kinda liked it even though EVERYONE at school hated it and warned me about difficult it is
Let us know how you like the Vibrams. (:
congrats on such a steal of a deal thanks to online shopping
happy for you girl! you’ll love your vibrams 
I cannot wait to get in detail updates from you sis
I really like to wear my hair down, its getting so long and I love it- the only down side is the amount of time it takes to blow dry! My solution is I have been getting up about 15 minutes early to shower first thing so I can let it air dry and much as possible during breakfast and such!
Best thing I’ve had recently was Greek Yogurt mixed with protein and berries!
I’s so excited for you to start your new workout plan!!
So excited to hear more about your plans with your trainer/nutritionist! I am so happy that you found someone who will work for you
Sounds much better from last time! I love Kabocha, that really is teeny. Holy smarty pants, you did awesome this year! You deserve a nice celebration lady!xo
I’ve never seen that type of bar before, but I do love me some Larabars, so if I ever see one of those around here I”ll have to try one!
congrats on the A’s!!! hopefully I can make it through this quarter with flying colors….but it just feels like I’m crawling through the trenches ><
I've been wanting to try those gii bars. they looks cool!
Actually (but not really) peed my pants when I saw sun cups. I WANT. Also, congrats on your trainer stuff! I cannot wait until you get all this together and stuff! It sounds awesome how much she’s putting into it. Orgo is AWESOME, and was probably my favourite chem class. I learned so much, I hope you’ll enjoy it as well!
Dates+nut butter=best snack ever! I love stuffing them with sunflower seed butter and cacao nibs.
I love shopping in stores for the atmosphere but you can’t beat online deals. I can’t believe you scored Vibrams for that cheap! I wanna get myself a pair of TOMS this summer and I’m hoping I can find some kind of deal on them.
I’ve never seen either of the Sun Cups or the Paleo bar before…I gotta track these down!
Have fun at Yosemite!
CONGRATS on your grades–and I know you’ll totally kill o-chem this summer.
I’m excited to hear how the training goes! And I hope Yosemite is awesome!
I’ll take online over stores any day–the prices are always ridiculously different like that, and it’s so easy to find coupon codes on top of that. Glad the nutritionist is a go, that you have a fun trip coming up and all the other exciting stuff it seems your future holds. Like more SSB cups. I saw those at Whole Foods the other day and almost purchased–I don’t think I’ll resist next time ;D
First of all, $50 for vibrams>!!?!?! SO jealous!
Second, I NEED that sunbutter cup!
Third, I need to try that no-gii bar!
Fourth, yayy for your nutritionist!!
Congrats on all A’s! That is awesome and very impressive!
Can’t wait to read about your nutritionist experience! Have fun on your trip!
Oh,I’m so glad your new nutritionist seems to be more helpful,Alexandra!
Excited to hear more about it,really!
Sunflower Cups sound SO good,by the way! I’d be sying to try these,aaaaw,so jealous…
sounds like everything is going great for you right now!! Im stoked you and your trainer are getting along so well. She’s going to turn you into a beast for sure (not that you arent already – you get what I mean!)
I still have yet to try that kind of squash. Cool bar! I am always looking out for tasty gluten free protein bars. A nutritionist is such a great idea, I have loved working with mine!
Dang girl, you definitely DID work hard this semester! Congrats on your grades, you deserve it!!! And awesome score on the shoes. I almost always find better deals online. I <3 online shopping…but it gets me into trouble haha.
YESSSSSSS wtg getting those vibrams on super sale!! online shopping is the bestest. and YAY for finding a good match with your trainer, I’m super excited to hear what happens! and omg…a sunbutter “reeses”??? MUST GET MY HANDS ON ONE OF THOSE!!!
YOU MUST!!!!!
I’m so excited that you have found someone that you really like!! That’s awesome
. And congrats on the amazing grades!
Oooh, you must share pictures of your haircut! I need one pretty badly too right now.
We are life twins! I haven’t had a haircut in about a year and I’m planning on one next week… I may chop the whole mess off & donate it
Congrats on your As and your trainer/nutritionist!!! You sound like you found a winner!
Ooh I can’t wait to see what you do with your hair!!
Hullo! I was wondering if you could tell me where you purchased your Vibrams? I’m on a quest to get a pair myself! They sound amazing and I’ve been dying to get my hands on a pair but the are quite expensive. So will you please tell me your secret source? Thankyou, phoebe
Sure!
I found them here: http://store.footworksmiami.com/store/product/95498/Vibram-Five-Fingers-Women's-Komodo-Sport/
You are such a smahhtyyy pants, congrats on the grades! And YAY for a successful nutritionist, I am looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on it miss! YES for a kabocha squash in there too, try it with peanut butter, it may or may not change your life for the better
I always shop online… well wait for certain things as you can usually score an awesome deal like you did!
Keep us updated on your trainer experience. It helps me prepare for when I am a trainer! She sounds awesome, though.
Congrats on the As!! I got all As except for a C in organic chem. I am OKAY with that though. It was tough! Haha
Oh myyy, those sun cups are so good! My boyfriend is obsessed with them. We even tried to make our own. They weren’t the same, but they still tasted good!
Dude I would be happy to just pass o chem too! I’m dreading taking it this summer haha
AWESOME find on the vibrams!!!
Your starfruit/powercake dish looks so pretty! That is great you are looking forward to your plans with your nutritionist! During the school year when I am busy I sometimes shop online, but I think I like actually going to the stores better
Have a good Wednesday!
WOO congrats on scoring all A’s….so motivating when hard work pays off!! All your recent eats look great, especially those powercakes! My current favorite afternoon snack is apple with roasted almonds! Favorite bedtime snack is undoubetedly yogurt messes- best way to end my day and one which I look forward to
!
Oh man nothin beats apples with almonds– such a great combo!!
this makes me happy! so good to hear about the nutritionist. You gotta mesh right, ya know?
You bet! Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support friend!!
