Today was a super long day. Having nothing to do at work and filling your time sorting spare watch stripes by color and size is more torturous than watching the Lifetime movie, William and Kate.

A pair of neon pink oxfords (as seen on Pixie Lott above) would have done just the trick to lift my spirits. Instead of sulking about in Monday blues I decided to be productive and make the most of my day.

This included cooking...

I'm recently become obsessed with the blog Oh She Glows. This chick creates the most inspiring healthy, vegan recipes. Tonight for dinner (and lunch the remainder of the week) I made a Red Quinoa Black Bean & Avocado salad. It was easy to make and super filling. Tonight I added shrimp, you know, just for kicks.

I also made No Bake Peanut Butter Glow Cakes. Super easy and great for a mid-day energy boost.

Lately I've had this random interest in Chia seeds. I find myself adding them to everything. They are SO good for you and proven to reduce blood pressure, inflammation and they even have more Omega-3 than salmon. Imagine that!

To end my day on a happy note, I came home to my new Top Shop bathing suit that arrived in the mail. Now all I need is a tan.
