Beautifully Tragic Love

So I'm kind of obsessing on Lana Del Rey...a little late to the scene, but I like discovering music at my own speed...not just cause its "hot".  So I bring you....Summertime Sadness, customer at work told me I absolutely had to watch this video...definitely interesting.



But even more so...check out her cd. "Born to Die"  she has a hauntingly beautiful voice and I love it.  If I had to pick a favorite track, it'd be either "This is What makes us girls" or "Video Games"

Well theres the music update for the night....

Stay Caffeinated Folks

My First PrePoo!!!!

I've been tinkering with delving into natural hair care products for a few weeks and finally decided to take a leap and try making the switch.

Continue with my delve into Naturalista Heaven after the jump!

Cava Mezze Grill 14th Street Review

So first...oh wow Cava has a restaurant!  *And upon google they have several*

Cava Mezze Grill, is a Chipotle/Roti style eatery, where you select what your eating and then pick the toppings, meat etc.  See the menu here:  MENU

So I stopped in on my way to the park to get some work done and just wanted a little bite sized something to take with me, so when I saw the minis on the board I was elated. And they didn't disappoint.  For each mini you get(in this case anyway) Your choice of spread, and 1 falafel ball per mini and your toppings!  Not a bad deal for around 8 bucks with a drink...roughly the same as Chipotle.

But of course theres a few draw backs....the minis don't travel quite well.  Still tasty but all the toppings(that were thrown in the box carelessly to start) had shifted mostly off to the side of the box.  But see the parenthesis for why that could have been.

Spreads:  I tried the hummus, tzatziki,  and crazy feta.  The tzatziki as always was delicious!  Its one of my favorite items of theirs to buy from the store and even more delicious on the pita mini.  Then we come to the "crazy feta"...YUM! feta mixed with jalapeno spiciness.  It was absolutely delicious, but I'd avoid if you don't like spicy things cause it does pack a bit of a punch.  And lastly I had the traditional hummus, sad to say it was a bit of a let down flavor wise.  Just seemed to be missing something-good but would really like it if i could mix it with perhaps the crazy feta.

Of course I'm definitely giving them another taste.  It was pretty good falafel...chickpeas a little chunkier than I prefer but the chicken looked amazing.

All in all, my meal was about 730 calories so a little heavier than a veggie bowl at Chipotle(yes that's my comparison chart) But wondering if its a "better" set of calories.  

Mission No Takeout

So here it is folks the official announcement of 'Mission NO TAKEOUT'  

My pledge to myself to stop filling my body with craptastic foods.  And be more aware of the yumminess that is my own cooking, and whats going into my cooking.  I'm on day 6...lifestyle movement so there probably isnt an end date to this.

But with any mission...There are some rules

1. Absolutely NO Mcdonalds....not even sweet tea-diabetes much?
2. NO Burger King / Wendy's
3. Once a week I get one "cheat" day...meaning chipotle, sushi, cava, roti...something along those lines
4. Limit fat sauces in home cooking

For now those are the only rules I've gotten....so far so good..had to take my cheat day today to get some work done, but as long as its along the lines of healthy takeout then I'll excuse it.  I mean if there's a salad delivery place with non 800 calorie salads please let me know and they'll be on the excused list asap!

For now though

Stay caffeinated folks!!!

Wondering Thoughts

As seasons change and relationships formed in the spring that bloomed in the summer begin to grow, I look back and wonder....what if...

Its funny I always say not to ask what if, the answer is clearly not better than the current situation cause well...if what if had been what was meant to be it would have been.  But still...what if...would I have this crazy confusing new old person...probably not and thats not a good outcome.  This happy...nope wasn't being motivated or pushed in a positive way.

So lesson one million and forty seven for 2012...don't look back

Move forward. break down doors, break down walls.

Hell break down the "structure".

So with that said...I'm breaking down some walls and takin some giant leaps....

Staying caffeinated daily and getting healthy for the 2nd half of life.  Wow 26 is almost upon me....where does time fly?
