Hello Honey Darling Dears!

It is hot as a mofo out there!  On my running days I have taken to getting up at 6:45am on the weekend just so that I can be done before it gets really really hot.  You do what you gotta do to get in your workouts!

Vitamins:

What do you guys take for vitamins?  I got this multi pack at Trader Joe's.  I take it every 2 or 3 days.

A lot of vitamins

for me 30 day supply = 60-90 day supply

My rational for not taking the vitmains everyday, is that I don't want to overwhelm my body.  I find that if I take too much of certain types of vitamins, that my body has bad reactions.  This is a personal thing for me.  You might not have those types of reactions.  You do what works for you.  Does anyone else take something like this?  Or what do vitamins if any do you take?

Summer Smoothie:

In my summer smoothies I have been doings lots of fresh fruit.  Basically whatever is on sale at the grocery store.  The smoothie pictures has the following ingredients: 1 cup of coconut/almond milk, a few ice cubs, a handful of blueberries, 5 strawberries, half a mango, and ground flax seeds.  This is a nice refreshing drink that I make in the morning or occasionally the afternoon for a pick me up.

Pinterest Fail:

I like kale smoothies so I figured I would like kale chips.   Boy was I wrong.  Maybe it was the way I made them?  I got a recipe from Pinterest and lets just say it smelled awful and did not taste much better.  It took a few days to get the smell out of the house.  I don't think I will be trying this ever again.  I might buy some and see if I like them at all.

House Purge:

I have started my bi annual house purge.  This is always a long process, but it feels so good when it is all done that I can't resist doing it.  I found a great consignment shop nearby called Courtney's Closet.  They take nice fashionable clothes and you split the proceeds 50/50 by either getting a check or store credit.  If the item doesn't sell within 90 days it is donated to charity.  I brought about 15 pairs of shoes over there.  I also recently donated a bunch of clothes to Purple Heart.  I have so much more to go through but I just to do one room a week and that makes it more manageable.  It is a nice feeling to have less stuff, it makes it easier to find the things that I actually want to use.  I still have a ways to go in the house and my storage unit, but soon I will have less stuff and be more organized as a result. 

Do you do a house purge now and again?  What are some tips that you have to share?
