Long time no talk! Ever since I started my blog, this is the longest time I’ve gone without blogging. Truth is, I don’t have any excuses why I was absent from the blog world so long. I’ve been spending time with friends, family and myself. I think I just needed a little break, but I am back and have some fun posts planned!
It’s been cloudy, rainy and cold the past couple of days. I’m not complaining because I love thunderstorms and rain. It’s always been very comforting to me, ever since I was a little girl. I like to get all cozy inside. :)
Here are the marvelous things that I like to do on rainy days..
I’ve been enjoying some yummy and healthy food. Pictured above: Chocolate protein oatmeal (rolled oats, protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia, milk & water.). A bowl of bran flakes with milk and a sliced banana. An innocent smoothie (yum!).
Getting my sweat on with a workout from the current (7/2012) German SHAPE magazine.
Reading books and magazines.
Listening to music. I just updated my playlists and love jamming out to the new tunes.
Painting my nails. I go through phases where I paint my nails a few times a week, and then I don’t paint them at all for a while.
Watching some of my favorite TV shows. Who else thinks TV back then was so much better?
Playing and cuddling with Eva. What a cutie pie.
What marvelous things do you like to do on rainy days? Do you have any favorite magazines? Favorite TV show of all time?
Oh my god. The Nanny! That show was all kinds of awesome. The chocolate protein oatmeal looks amazing! And I also go through nail painting stages - I'm in one at the moment, but who knows how long it will last!
ReplyDeleteYour oats look like chocolate heaven, so good!
ReplyDeleteNail polish, ahhhhhhhhhh! I love it! Pretty colors too! I just painted mine really fun, will post tomorrow!
Happy Monday love!
psh girl life is meant to be spent with friends and family, not the computer! I’m glad you had a good break from blogging, and I love all your rainy day activities! painting my nails + reading books and magazines is my favorite. I also lattely have been spending evenings making collages and drinking tea with my sister, always a good time!
ReplyDeleteThose chocolate oats, omg!!! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love your little music note doodles--they turned out so cute!

Hopefully you enjoyed your time away from the computer. Life is better than the internet could ever be :)
I'm glad you had a relaxing blogging break! And I agree, old TV is pretty good. Those oats look amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing, I want them! I also wish I was in Germany, as always :P But in NYC is a ton of fun! Except it is H.O.T. here.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! Magazines are the best:) I have heard those smoothies are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate protein oatmeal looks deliciouss! & I love magazines too. I'm subscribed to way too many, haha.
ReplyDeleteOh,you so don't need any excuses for being "absent" for a while,Shannon! It's great you've been enjoying life WITHOUT internet,it's so important to remind there's something else than the blog world as well!

ReplyDeleteI love old tv! :) I just got I love lucy on dvd, and I always watch Golden Girls & Friends reruns!! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something fun about rainy days because you get to do things that you've put off.
ReplyDeleteIt's been very rainy here as well. I love just laying in bed and watching movies when it's rainy or baking. I love seeing all the German in the magazines. So cool!
ReplyDelete90's TV shows were definitely best!! Full House is one of my all time favorites. <3
ReplyDeleteYour chocolate oats look incredibly delicious! I'm slowly becoming an oats in the morning person, but I have yet to venture outside of vanilla and banana flavors. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm loving all those nail polish colors! <3
I agree! TV back the was soooo much better!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend some quality time just enjoying LIFE!
