Why I Love My Fit Foods

So New Year's has come and gone, but hopefully your resolutions are here to stay. But let's face it, it's way easier to sit there on December 31st and talk about all the staggering life changes you're going to make, than it is to go out and do them the other 364 days of the year.

Life happens. Trust me, I know that all too well. You fully plan on meal prepping and making all these Pinterest-worthy recipes... #Fitspo.

But then you get a call from your friend begging you to come to brunch with her (the peer pressure is real) or an email from your boss about that one meeting you need to prep for. Then you think about all the laundry you probably should be doing right now, not to mention the fact that YOU'RE TIRED.

I know those all seem like the most first world problems ever, but you can't sit there and tell me you can't relate. THE STRUGGLE IS SO REAL PEOPLE. 

Bottom line is this: Sometimes life just gets in the way of even the best intentions.

Enter My Fit Foods. *angels sing*

I live for My Fit Foods. I know that sounds dramatic. But I'm being completely honest with you when I say I eat the stuff at least 6 or 7 times a week (meals, not days). Especially with a lifestyle as crazy as mine, I need something I can just grab and run out the door. It's a lifesaver. I'm telling you.

All of their meals are fresh, portion controlled and most of them are even gluten free! To say I'm a fan would be an understatement.

A few of my favorites if you're going to give it a try:

-Good Morning Sunshine Breakfast
-Turkey Pasta
-Chili Mac
-Shredded Beef Tacos
-Spinach and Chicken Enchiladas
-Supreme Pizza Pasta

P.S. If you're really in a time crunch, you can even order it online!

I want to hear what you think! What are your tricks for eating healthy on the go?

Sunday Night Steals For the Home

Industrial Bar Stool Set // Iron Jack // Sand-Filled Hour Glass // Succulent Collection // Beaded Chevron Pillow // Gold Geometric Mirror // Mounted Antler Bust // Mirrored Chevron Tiles // Incandescent String Lights // Grey Quilt and Sham Set

This week's Sunday Night Steals post is inspired by my current search for a new apartment. Which can I go ahead and just say this? It's EXHAUSTING. Thank goodness for my rock star realtor Ryan Cauley. Seriously, he's been my saving grace. If you're in the DFW metroplex and need a place to live, CALL HIM!!

But apartment search aside, I'm REALLY excited to decorate a new place! It's kind of fun to get into a new space and make it yours.

Unfortunately for me, I have inherited a pretty expensive taste when it comes to well, everything. Hence why Restoration Hardware is my life. I would literally move into one of their stores if they'd let me. But that would be creepy, so I won't.

Since RH is a tad on the pricey side (Okay a lot on the pricey side), I've had to do some bargain hunting and I've decided to round up a few of my favorites and share them with y'all!

Pssst: Did I mention everything is under $120?! *insert confetti emoji here*

What's your personal interior design taste? And where do you go to find a good bargain?

Any and all suggestions welcome! Except Pinterest, because let's face it. I'm not that talented.

Doing The Most Good: The Giving Keys

So I'm going to lay some ground rules within this blog before we get in too deep here. And my first rule is this: This place is like the trust tree. Anything that goes on here is between you and me. And the five other people that read this thing. It's an elite group, I know. But that being said, I'm going to let you in on a few secrets about me.

Secret #1: I have a bit of a shopping problem. ESPECIALLY in this social media age. I mean the fact that I can just like an Instagram post and immediately be able to have something shipped to my door step is completely amazing but also completely TERRIBLE for my wallet. For instance, when I'm bored, I'll just pour myself a glass of wine and skim through my Insta at all the other people's lives that are cooler than mine. But then I happen to stumble upon this really freaking adorable dress that I could totally wear to a Cowboys game... Oh, and they take Apple Pay. OKAY.

It's bad.

BUT in one of these boredom-inspired IG binges, I happened upon a lovely little company called The Giving Keys. It's this really awesome group out of LA that makes these rad little key-phrase necklaces.

Secret #2: Well, fun fact about me is that I am sucker for a good cause. And whatdoyaknowit but The Giving Keys IS A GOOD CAUSE. Basically what they do is employ people trying to transition out of homelessness (awesome) to make these really cool vintage key necklaces that all these celebrities are now wearing (double awesome).

Celebrities aside, this company has a really great message. Besides the fact that they employ those trying to get back on their feet, each necklace has a different inspirational message stamped into the key itself.

The idea is to wear it yourself until you find someone in your life who might need the message more than you. You then gift it to them to wear and carry with them as a reminder daily. So basically a really cool way to pay it forward. (SO AWESOME IT HURTS)

Secret #3: I LOVE a good deal. I blame my mother for this one. She always taught me to bargain shop. Even though I don't always do it these days. Sorry mom. But this little charmer would make her proud! Coming in at a mere $39 these necklaces definitely don't break the bank.

So go on! Snag one up this holiday season (or twelve). Because who doesn't like to look pretty as they #PayItForward.
