The Ultimate Taco Life Hack

24 Mar

Hello! Do you love tacos? I do. I love all food. Most food. Okay, all food. Anyway. Before the taco must have I saw at the store today… Let’s talk about running and eating….

I am super proud of myself because I made it to yoga yesterday! Ahhhhh! I needed that. My hips are so tight. I am really going to try and go to yoga twice a week now. There are 4 classes at my gym that are at times that work with my schedule so I should be able to make it work.

Last night I had dinner with a friend and attempted to put on eyeliner. It’s been about two weeks since I’ve done any kind of make-up outside of blush and lipgloss. I was a little rusty!

It is not like riding a bike (which I also suck at). I just couldn’t get it together and ended up accepting my eyeliner fate and hoping the sun would go down and there would be dark lighting.

When I got home I decided this candy bar I bought in Jerusalem would make a good midnight snack. I don’t make good life choices after 12am. Make that 10pm. Actually maybe 2pm…

The price is in Shekels, it didn’t cost me $5.50 US dollars. One dollars is roughly 1 Sheckels.

This morning I woke up at 4 am. FOUR IN THE FREAKIN’ MORNING. What the heck, body clock?!

Ugh. I tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t so I finally got up around 4:30a. PST California, USA, Earth.

I did some work and drank some coffee and went for a walk and ate two breakfasts. Vegas was super confused as to why I was up so early. He needs 23 hours of sleep a day or he’s just not himself.

Since I woke up so early I tried to be super productive today. I did some work on the blog, wrote an article and then started my Spring Cleaning!

Sadly, Vegas was still pissed about the early wake-up call and refused to help me.

I went out to get some extra cleaning supplies and spotted this MUST HAVE item…

Taco Holder!

This would be genius if I didn’t already have a taco holder = my hands.

Life hack: You can use 2 upside down shot glass to hold up tacos on your plate. Boom.

Question: Do you need a taco holder?

Do you make tacos at home?

When was the last time you had a taco?

    Old El Paso makes flat-bottomed standup taco shells. That was a game changer discovery

    I’m not so good at the maths, but if $1 = 1 shekel then you did pay $5.50 USD for that candy bar. I hope it was good!!

      No it’s like 4 shekels for a dollar (roughly estimated).

    You’re hilarious! You did good on your eyeliner, it didn’t look bad to me… Tacos are delicious, we had some the other night.

    Last time I had tacos was oddly in Japan! We went to an American bar, drank imported beer, ate tacos, and yet oddly also met loads of Japanese people who just wanted to practice their English with us. It was a surprise amazing night on our trip!

    Do you make the taco shells yourself? Haven’t made taco at home; I usually have them at restaurants (which are far and few between over here).

      I usually just do soft tacos at home. I know how to fry them on the stove from my Grams but just never do it.

    Hi! I recently came back from a trip to Australia and the jet lag killed me!! I would wake up at 4-5 AM and not be able to go back to sleep. And then, I would be so tired in the afternoon. My advice would be to 1) don’t sleep during the day and 2) just let it pass and be patient. It took me about 2 weeks to get back to a normal routine. Good luck 🙂

    I generally do soft tacos so I don’t need no stinkin’ holders. 🙂 I taco Tuesday’d this week. I’ll probably have more tacos sometime this weekend. Tacos are the best.

    They would barely last on the plate so who needs a holder. I love tacos! Came close tonight. I had nachos at happy hour with friends
