The Perfect Girls Night In

As I'm sure many of you know, yesterday was National Best Friends day, and luckily I was able to spend the day (and night!) with my best friend. We had such a great time that we figured a blog post about it was definitely a good idea. While we don't get to see each other the most often, it's the times like these that count the most because there is not all that much that can replace the 2 am laughter and the endless snacking and gossiping.

As per usual, our get together's begin with baking. Sometimes our creations come out good, sometimes not so much, but this time our cupcakes came out amazingly. (They also taste fantastic in case anyone was wondering!). We made chocolate fudge cupcakes with baby blue and lavender vanilla icing, which looked (in my opinion), absolutely gorgeous. Besides that, the baking and decorating process is 1000x more fun when you do it with a friend.

Also, playing a throwback thursday playlist is essential.

After baking, we created the ideal sleepover environment. Pillows and blankets galore! Along with snacks, drinks, and movies of course... Whether or not we stayed awake for the entire movie is debatable but that's not important.

The next morning (well, noon), we made pancakes and watched Friends all afternoon. And if that isn't an awesome way to pass your day, I don't know what is.

I had such a great past 2 days, being able to spend time with my best friend and have a generally relaxed girls day/night in.

What do you like to do on your girls night in?

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef.

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
