rockin’ the flats
/Saturday recap…
Vegan Overnight Oats with 1T flax meal instead of 1T chia seeds. It was super thick + worked perfectly!
Layered up with blueberry banana soft serve and topped with cacao nibs + maple cinnamon almond butter.
Deeelicious.
Later in the afternoon, my family + I had a Glo Bar tasting.
I cut up the above 3 bars for everyone to sample. I don’t think anyone could pick a favorite. They were gobbled right up and everyone loved them! I really like the texture of Angela’s bars.
I think so far, my favorite Glo Bars have been the Dark Chocolate Coffee and the Peanut Butter. I still have one of her new Liberate bars [GF + RAW] to try. I am definitely looking forward to it! :)
Wearing ballet flats to a wedding is….
the.best.idea.ever.
I’ve never been too big of a “heels” girl and hate cramming my feet into pointy, high heels. Not to mention with all of my barefoot/Vibram walking lately, my feet kind of freak when I have them in regular shoes. I found these on the clearance rack at Macy’s, marked down from $70 to $25. Definitely worth it to keep my feet happy!
Classy tan lines thanks to the Vibrams :)
Wedding time!! My cousin courtney [mom’s first cousin’s daughter] got married today and the wedding was beautiful.
My mom’s 1st cousin, Cheryl, the bride’s mother. She looked stunning! Her dress was so unique and just gorgeous.
Courtney looked 100% perfect!! Her dress looked like it was made for her, her hair was extremely classy, her makeup was natural and her veil was long + elegant. I definitely got teared up when I saw her!!
Daaaa da da daaaaaaaaaa
Loved the wedding colors. Mine were very similar…chocolate brown + coral.
Gorgeous, right?? I wish I had a better photo of her whole dress.
Her brother, Justin. Josh [my bro] and Justin used to gang up on Courtney + me ALL the time when we were younger. I remember getting locked in a scary basement room, forced to drink some nasty sludge water, never-ending teasing, etc. Ohhh, older brothers :)
M.O.B. lookin’ great!
Immediate + some extended family. So nice to get to see everyone!
My bro + the parentals
Aunt Sherie + me
I wore my wedding necklace and the bracelet Chris gave to me at our wedding.
Husband-less :( I am missing him like crazy!! He should be safe + sound in Ecuador now….not sure when I’ll hear from him though!
Simple + stunning.
Delicious salad to start!
Intros and then right to the cake cutting.
I definitely scarfed down a delicious piece of vanilla cake with a raspberry filling. YUM.
Cuuute!
Their first dance was adorable. They were talking + laughing the whole time, which reminded me of my first dance with Chris.
Congrats Courtney + Grant!!! I wish you only the best!
BED.time.
