Weekending (one week later)

Okay I am a week late but I wanted to share some pictures from my weekend in Long Beach. I've been super duper cautious with my new iPhone ( no case yet) so I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. Linking up with Meghan and Biana

Weekending

It was my first time flying Southwest and I have to say, still a fan of Jetblue. I found it very odd and chaotic that they don't have assigned seating. My girlfriend who picked me up from the airport decided to take off to Vegas for the night. I was on my own until another friend got off work. Luckily she lives within walking distance from a popular (and yummy) breakfast spot in Long Beach.
Yummy apple sausage egg scramble at Eggs Etc 

I went out that night with some friends to the "hipster" bars on 4th street


Saturday started off on a good note! My best friend and I went kayaking in the Naples Canals.  This is seriously one of my favorite things to do in Long Beach.We may or may not have parked our kayak by a dock to have a little photo shoot.

Saturday evening was my sorority big sisters baby shower no picture :(  

Later into the night, my best friend & drove over to LA for a friends 24th birthday. 

The sad part is on Sunday, a little after the superbowl ended, my new iPhone committed suicide. He fell right out of my back pocket and into a toilet. Let me just tell you, rice does not work. I got veryyy lucky and the apple representative that helped me out let me sign up for apple care with an already damaged phone. We love Louis! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Happy Monday!

No Bake Energy Bites

Happy Thursday everyone!

I wanted to share a no bake energy bite recipe I made awhile ago. I have a huge weakness for anything chocolate, so when I found this recipe I was beyond excited because 1. It's a healthy way to satisfy my sweet tooth and 2. I don't particularly enjoy baking but this recipe is beyond easy. 

Ingredients 
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 coconut (optional, I didn't use it)
- dried fruits or nuts (optional, I used walnuts)

- Combine all dry ingredients in bowl, add in wet ingredients and mix it all together. Roll into small balls & refrigerate for an hour.






Quick and easy for those on the go. Enjoy!

XO,
