I’M BACK! 💛 It’s been a little under two months or so since I’ve been active here on Instagram. I decided to take a break from social media and it was everything I needed! I didn’t expect for it to start when it did and I also didn’t expect for it to go on for this long. I did it for my mental health. I found myself comparing where I’m at in my life to others and it just made me really sad and depressed. I thought I’d have my life together and my career going by now. Seeing people on my IG feed with successful careers, buying homes, becoming mothers/fathers. It was just a lot for me because I so badly wanted that for myself. Honestly, I’m not sure what I want to do, career-wise, and it’s really scary to me! What I studied in college is not really my passion anymore. It’s very easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling to figure it all out, which is how I felt, but I know I’m not alone. If you’re struggling to figure it all out, I’m right there with you! I know everything will fall into place eventually and I’m just learning to trust the process. Taking a break from social media was exactly what I needed and I’m happy to be back!✨

Homemade freshly squeezed juice is the best juice! 💛 Forgot to buy grapefruits this week, but last week I made some organic grapefruit juice at home and it was delicious.✨I use my handy dandy non-fancy citrus juicer when I make juice using citrus fruits!🍊What’s your favorite citrus juice/citrus juice combos to make at home?! I’d love some ideas! ☺️

I can’t believe we will be reaching the 10 year mark together later this year! The years have seriously flown by so quickly! Before meeting Luis, I was in a very toxic relationship. I didn’t even realize it was a toxic relationship until I met Luis!

This week, I bought almost no meat and produce! I honestly didn’t do much cooking the last 2.5 weeks because of the ear infection I had in both ears. 👎🏽 Just wasn’t up for it! I relied heavily on just making easy pasta meals at home and/or we’d order takeout. Trying to get back to cooking most meals at home this week! ✨ When I ordered my groceries last week, they ended up giving me the wrong bacon. I usually go for the @wellshire sugar-free bacon, but they gave me this thick sliced dry rubbed bacon (also from Wellshire and not paleo) instead and honestly it is SO GOOD!! 🥓 We also grabbed a pint of some @lickicecreams hill country honey & vanilla bean ice cream to make root beer floats at home.🍦I got the @cocokind chia facial oil to try out! I’ve tried the @unbunfoods bagels before and love them, so I decided to grab some of the unbread to try this week. 🍞 I had to snag some @soozysgrainfree birthday cake cookies again because they are AMAZING. 🤤 They finally had my favorite @yellowbirdsauce organic serrano sauce in stock, so I grabbed some! If you missed the grocery haul I posted over the weekend on IG stories, swipe through to check out the rest of the goods we got! 😊

Last week was one heck of a week dealing with the ear infection in my left ear!👂🏽With just my luck, my right ear now has an ear infection. 🙃 Really didn’t want that to happen, but now just gotta use some prescribed medicated drops and hope that it goes away quick! 🤞🏽 This grocery haul is filled with lots of the usuals, but not much meat and produce because we still have a good amount still left from last week that I have to use up! I usually buy pre-cut watermelon, but last week I decided to purchase 2 whole small watermelons to cut myself because it’s just more budget-friendly. 🍉 I decided to do the same thing this week, too. I usually buy the vintage cola @drinkolipop, but I changed it up this week and went for the strawberry vanilla flavor! 🍓 Always gotta have some @eatbanza pasta and mac & cheese on hand because they make for super simple meals! 🙌🏽 Also got some @drbronner unscented pure-castile soap to use to clean my makeup brushes. If you missed the grocery haul I posted over the weekend on IG stories, swipe through to check out the rest of the goods we got! 😊

Usually I look forward to having a cup of coffee or a matcha latte in the morning, but today was different! ☕️ I wanted something super cozy, comforting, and nourishing. I made a turmeric latte and it was just what I needed. 💛

🥑 GROCERY HAUL 🥑

It’s been a pretty stressful week for us! I mentioned over on IG stories that our kitchen sink has a clogged pipe (that’s what we’re thinking) and we are not happy about it. 🙃 Plumber won’t be coming until next Wednesday. 😣 I get especially stressed out when unexpected expenses come up with situations that possibly could have been avoided! 😫 Luis was able to get the week off this week and I was SO excited to spend the week catching up on some quality time! He hasn’t gotten a full week off in a LOOOONG time! He’s such a hard worker and I was excited for him to just decompress this week, but then this pipe situation happened. 👎🏽 Ughhhh! The stress has been REAL for me and I definitely shed some tears this week! We’ve been relying on super duper simple meals to make since we don’t want to dirty a bunch of dishes.🍴Sandwiches have been our go-to for lunch these past few days and I’m actually not mad about it! 🙌🏽 I used an @unbunfoods grain-free plain bagel and filled it with @applegate turkey, @seggianofoods dairy-free pesto, @treelinecheese herb garlic soft dairy-free cheese, and spinach. 🌱

Lots and lots of produce included in my grocery haul this week! 🥒 We are currently on a fresh juice kick now that the weather is starting to heat up. ☀️ Today I made some cucumber, celery, lemon, and apple juice and I’ll probably make some beet juice mixture midway through the week. We also bought some @simplemills seed flour crackers and the chocolate chip cookies! 🍪 I got some bread and bagels for Luis this week and got myself some of the grain-free @unbunfoods bagels for myself! 🥯 Lots of other favorites in this haul. 😍 If you missed the grocery haul I posted over the weekend on IG stories, swipe through to check out the rest of the goods we got! 😊
