Smoothies are delicious.

I have been drinking smoothies EVERY day for dinner lately. I add in a couple dates & it gives the smoothie some magically delicious chewy chunks. Pretty awesome. I just enjoyed a homemade clusterhump of fruit right now, as a matter of fact. I put as many kinds of fruit as I possibly can into that blender and VOILA! Awesome dinner. I tend to get burnt out on something when I eat it all the time, however, and I think even though I love this routine I have going on, I am going to need a treat sometime in the near future. I have been eyeing desserts on The Cupcake Mint's Etsy shop for quite a while. Check these out...

Those are my top 3 choices of what to order. They are the original vegan bake shop on Etsy, & I think their pictures are the most mouth watering too. I don't have any super sweet craving attacks yet, but I'm sure they'll creep up on me soon enough. Those really do look amazing, don't they?! I just farted with excitement. I really do think I deserve them, though, because tonight I did another good run. 5.74 miles & burned 514 calories! So proud of myself again :) I'm not bragging, I'm just documenting how good I feel right now, so I am more likely to stay motivated!

Another thing that makes me happy, besides cupcakes, is this...

I was reading Lacey's blog today & I noticed I'm in her links in the sidebar. I felt so special! Yeeee! You should really check out her blog; she's absolutely adorable! She describes herself as "an unmarried, childless housewife", & I can totally relate. Except for the fact that my dogs are my "children", if you can't tell by now. This unmarried, childless housewife needs to go snuggle with her boyfriend, as cheesy as that sounds. I love heem :)

Live Long & Perspirate,
Jenna!

PS-I will have a much more exciting post tomorrow! This post was cut short because it's definitely bed time for this sleepy kid.

WHAT THE H.

I happened to stumble across the "Voter - Spring Equinox" thingy right on over at Etsy, & I really can't ever remember how I even found it. I was ready to vote on the cutest thing I could see on that page when I recognized something...


MY BABY DEER PAINTING!

PRETTY NEAT RIGHT. I KNOW, I KNOW. I have no idea how it got there; I sure as hell didn't register it. I hadn't even heard of this Spring Equinox jazz before. Oh well. Pretty cool. Of course I voted for myself. Why wouldn't I? There were so many cute things on the page though, but I had to be selfish because after all, EVERY VOTE COUNTS! Please vote for me :) I'll be ever so greatful. Yes, I know it's spelled "grateful", & I don't like it. I am not full of grates; I am full of GREAT. All the time. I poop GREAT.

Here are a few of sites that are really handy; you probably know about them, but if you don't...YOU'RE WELCOME. You are going to think these are the coolest things ever. Craftopolis lets you search your Etsy shop name to see if you are currently featured in any gift guides or treasuries. You can also search your shop name on Craft Cult to find neat information on your recent "hearts", & find out when & if you were featured on the front page. For screen shots of front page treasuries, search your name in the search box at Etsy Front Pagers on Flickr.

I am still obsessed with pretty shades of blue, but why not throw some white in there? It's very light, airy, & spring-y. Look forward to posts on beautiful spring items this week! Who doesn't love flowers, pastels, & bright colors? You don't? Get out. Really. For now, pretty blues, & whites...

I'm back. in black. and white. and yellow...

So, yes, I was a little neglectful of my blog. I was a bad mother to my blog child. I promise it was for good reasons! Those "reasons" will be in my shop soon! Promise. For now, beautiful things that have caught my eye recently...


Sometimes I'm so clever, my brain hurts ;)

Black & white is always a classic combination, & yellow really says, "SPRING IS HERE HOLMES!" Well, I'm sure it would say that if it colors could talk. Man, I WISH colors could talk. Turquoise and I would have awesome conversations. I really love turquoise. BFFL. :) Wow, sometimes I say things that only a pothead would say, all the while my lungs are completely clear over here. Promise. Anyway, back on track. I am really loving gold right now too, which is pretty much just a snazzy, shiny, dressed up yellow isn't it? Yep. Sure is.

So something really neat besides the whole front page thing happened...I received a little note from myshoppingconnection from Etsy last week notifying me that my bubbled apple earrings were picked to be one of the indie finds on IndieSpotting.com! I assume they were on the site for an hour or a whole day, and either way it is very flattering!


Visit Indiespotting.com; it's a great resource for handmade finds & support of Indie crafters!

HAPPY MONDAY! :)
