Is it #Halloween yet? Close enough for us! A new favorite on the menu, meet The #Frankie!
#TheFrankie is a combination of two of our favorites, the #Turmeric and the #PineappleParadise, each kicked up a notch by some of the most #nutrient dense, #detoxifying, #antioxidant full, super powders! I cannot say enough about the benefits of these ingredients! #Anti-inflammatory. #Antioxidant. #Plant #protein #GLAs and #Omega3s #Energy boosting. #Digestion supporting. Highly absorbable #iron that is gentle on the stomach. So much more. Plus, omg it tastes amazing! Pineapple upside down cake, anyone?
When I found out it was vegan I knew I had to try it! It was pretty amazing! It did have banana in it but there was enough other stuff in there to take my mind off of it. And YES on top that is a bit of Activated Charcoal.
It's been a couple of weeks since I have seen my sweet niece Trinity but I have been getting text messaged photos! This is one of my favorites as of late. She was sitting there watching the Yankees game with my parents!
I just can't get over her pose! Arms behind her head!
I'm hoping to see her this week. I might actually have the opportunity to see her a bit more over the next couple of weeks! YAY!
As many of you know I'm not a fan of winter for just about ANY and EVERY reason but this year I have the added dread of not being able to see Trinity as much due to wintery weather conditions. Boo Hiss!
She's about 4 months old already and still only about 10 pounds! She's such a peanut!
This past weekend a few of us were prepping buildings for camper storage at the fairgrounds and cleaning up some of the buildings.
We were taking a break while a couple people were putting away some equipment in one of the barns.
I noticed more Monarchs this year after not seeing them the last couple of years. This made me VERY happy. As many of you may know about the decline in Monarch Butterflies.
I extended my arm and finger in hopes it would land on me and it did - not once - but 4 times. A friend of ours took this pic the last time it was on me. It stayed like this for like 5 minutes! It really was a magical moment!
Wow, that photo is really one in a million! Talk about good luck and timing- that butterfly is a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt was so neat...it was like the Monarch and I had a total understanding. Calm, peaceful. Boy-oh-boy...do I sound like a hippie or what!? I'm totally ok with sounding like a hippie! LOL
DeleteTrinity is such a doll! How adorable! Beautiful pic of the butterfly and that smoothie sounds like it has super powers! What are the ingredients in it?
ReplyDeleteI know it has bananas, pineapple, other fruit juices, I think Spirulina, Activated Charcoal, etc. I think there might be almond milk in there, too, but it is vegan!
DeleteTrinity is adorable, hope you get plenty of opportunities to visit! Gorgeous butterfly pic - wow!
ReplyDeleteI was able to see her for about 20 mins yesterday but maybe a bit more tomorrow or next week some, too!
DeleteWhat an awesome photo with the monarch! A local park has a butterfly garden to help encourage the location population. We had a great time visiting the garden this past summer to watch the caterpillars and then monarchs.
ReplyDeleteThat local park sounds lovely!
DeleteAww, such an adorable picture of Trinity! And how incredible that the monarch chose to visit with you; that's great that someone got a picture of that special moment!
ReplyDeleteIt's stuff like that - that makes other things seem small - ya know?
DeleteOMG that picture of Trinity!! So so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special moment with that butterfly!
I keep thinking about that Butterfly! And that moment! I'm such a hippie! LOL
DeleteThere was an interesting podcast from Mosaic Science about seasonal depression. It gives a bunch of sciencey stuff but then concluded some of it might be cultural, saying that people living in colder climates tend to be happier in winter since there are more activities going on. It makes sense because I am the opposite. I hate summer. I want to stay out of the hot heat, so I don't do many activities.
ReplyDeleteIn our area there are many people that it affects for sure! I can only imagine in places like Alaska were they have DAYS of darkness! YIKES!
