I either wear too much make-up or no makeup at all. I prefer the “too much” look any day of the week, but I’m too lazy to bother 90% of the time. I am currently blogging with hair mayonnaise in my hair. The only food I share with my pets is canned salmon or tuna with my cat and the occasional ... Read More about Confession Thursday–Part 5

O for Olivas!
The reason I got blood work this week was for my Nutrition class. I need my blood type and cholesterol levels for a paper (that’s due today!). I’ve actually always been curious about my blood type, but have never given blood because I’m always training for something or another and didn’t want to ... Read More about O for Olivas!
Cinnamon Apple Granola Bowl
When I went to pick up my blood test results I felt snacky, but not hungry. I decided to bring along a bag of carrots to get the “chew” out of my system. My breakfast was super big, so lunch was delayed until almost 3pm. I knew I wanted a sweet potato, but wasn’t sure what to have with it. ... Read More about Cinnamon Apple Granola Bowl
My Fastest Mile
I made the thickest smoothie post run this morning. In the mix: protein powder, ice, spinach, chia seeds, water. It made two glasses, which I enjoyed both of with a whole wheat Indian flat bread on the side. The flat bread from TJ’s is thick and chewy in the best way. Half almond butter/pumpkin ...

New Car
This is the best.snack.ever. Ever. Cottage cheese, a deliciously ripe and juicy pear, Frog Hollow Farm granola (not that crappy stuff I try to make myself like). I think my cat is happy I’m home :) It feels good to be loved. If I’m being honest, he seems to prefer Ben. Boo. I had to pack ... Read More about New Car
Ipod Giveaway and Jared Interview
Good day! I started my Tuesday with a big bowl of pumpkin oatmeal topped with almond butter and cereal. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make me feel as full as yogurt bowls. I hate that, but it’s getting cold and I need something warm! Lunch was a salad and sandwich combination of sorts. I really love ... Read More about Ipod Giveaway and Jared Interview
When the Cat’s Away…
I had an appointment for a blood test this morning. It required that I not eat for 12 hours before. Boo. Luckily, I wasn’t that hungry from all that food over the weekend. Well, I was a little hungry, but I think that was just because I knew I couldn’t eat, so I wanted to. I made myself a ... Read More about When the Cat’s Away…
Dim Sum and Den Sum
After brunch yesterday Meghann and I had some time to kill before our 2pm lunch plans. We decided to walk over to Chinatown and explore. I remember there being more to see, but maybe we were just on the wrong street? The colorful lanterns were fun at least :) Meghann and I We had Dim Sum ... Read More about Dim Sum and Den Sum
Golden Gate Bridge Run
I have always wanted to run across the Golden Gate bridge, so when I realized that my roommates for the Foodbuzz Festival were Meghann and Bobbi - aka some of the baddest running bloggers around I knew I would have company on this experience. Meghann ended up running with Aron from Runner’s Rambles ... Read More about Golden Gate Bridge Run
Foodbuzz Gala Dinner
Last night was the Foodbuzz dinner gala at the Grand Hall, Ferry Building. Funny to think we were here earlier for the Farmer’s Market and now the place was all “fancied up”. Tina, Anne P. and I were fancied up too :) Chia pet center piece. I love chia seeds, so that’s a compliment ... Read More about Foodbuzz Gala Dinner
Kiss the Fish
Today we went to the Foodbuzz Taste Pavillion. There were tons of tables set up with wine, beer and amazing food. The one vegetable I had today came in the form of a quinoa salad. This chef was super nice, but I didn’t catch his name :) I want S’more Janetha and Holly were ... Read More about Kiss the Fish
A Run to the Farmer’s Market
We started the day with a run before sunrise. I was scared of the hills, but we found a pretty flat route and it was fun. Everyone met in the lobby of the Sir Francis Drake to do about 4 miles. We didn’t get nearly enough sleep, but we were in good spirits. Post run we headed back to the ... Read More about A Run to the Farmer’s Market
RER Does The Foodbuzz Street Food Fair
After some down time in the room it was time to head to the Foodbuzz Street Food Fair. It was held in the Herbst Pavilion in Fort Mason. We arrived right at sunset and it was gorgeous. But, we had to peek over a dirty wall near some dumpsters to get a good picture…. totally worth it :) ... Read More about RER Does The Foodbuzz Street Food Fair
Limo Service in San Francisco
I’m heeeere! A group of us shared a limo to the hotel. Since there were five of us it was the same price as a taxi. Nice. I spotted Meghann as soon as I got to baggage claim. It was nice to see a familiar face straight away. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a limo before! I was super excited! ... Read More about Limo Service in San Francisco
Friday Flight to ‘Frisco
*I remember reading in a travel book years and years ago that locals don’t say “Frisco” in reference to San Francisco. Because of that I never say “Frisco”, but I love a good alliteration, so I made an exception :) Fun fact: I’ve never flown to SF before! Growing up I went there a few times on ...

Too Much Pizza
I was at Starbucks until about 1pm when I decided to break for lunch. But, I didn’t have the car so my options were very limited. I wasn’t feeling a Starbucks egg sandwich, so I decided to go next door and get a big ol’ deli sub from Ralphs. I don’t like doing straight up veggie sandwiches because ...
