An Unexpected Weekend

My weekend didn’t exactly go as expected. I planned to go visit my grandmother in Georgia but I felt kind of off on Friday so I decided to delay my visit until Saturday and see how I felt. I’m so glad that I did because I was coughing and had lost my voice by the time Saturday morning rolled around. I decided to stay put and not share my germs with my sweet Mema.

I was so surprised to wake up Sunday morning to this get well flower delivery from her! Grandmothers are the best! 🙂

I ended up staying home all day Saturday and tackling a bunch of cleaning and home organization projects. I started in the kitchen and gave it a good cleaning and then moved to the office where I spent a solid three hours creating a zen and organized workspace. It made such a huge difference! Although I admit that I’m not one of those crazy “loves to organize” kind of people, I do love my workspace to be neat and tidy for maximum productivity.

When my fiance got home on Saturday night and asked what I wanted to do I said “pizza and a movie…on the couch!” We tag teamed homemade pizza and it was delicious!

We watched Ex Machina which was totally crazy. It sucked me in and kept me entertained but it was so out there! Has anyone else seen it? What did you think?

juiceandfrenchpress

Sunday morning brought green juice and french press coffee. So many of you have requested a french press tutorial so I’ll get on that. It’s been coffee life changing for me. I never even go to Starbucks anymore! (Seriously…) I made the green juice in my Juicepresso Juicer, which makes juicing SO easy! This juice had apple, kale, ginger, carrots, apples, cucumber and lime.

Later that day we had a tasting for the cafe at Y2 Yoga. We are launching our salads, sandwiches and wraps on Wednesday and I got to try them all out. Everything was so amazing and I can’t wait to eat this delicious food on the regular!

waterpups

I wrapped up the weekend with a long walk with the pups. I owe you guys a post introducing my fiance’s pug, Arnie. He’s 14 and we’ve nicknamed him, “The Immortal Pug.” You will die when you see all of the pictures of him and the girls! It’s hysterical. I melt a little on the inside every time all three of them drink from the same water bowl at the same time.

Did you go out this weekend or stay in?

Have you seen any good movies lately?
