My Favorite Healthy Snack

I try to eat as healthy as I can but sometimes I want a quick snack or even a small sweet treat while dieting this can be a hard task to do. I have recently found protein balls on Pinterest and decided to give them a try, and thank goodness I did because I am OBSESSED. Today I am sharing my favorites which are confetti protein balls. I love these for a mid-morning snack or a late night treat, you have to be careful as a late night snack because they do have protein powder in them.

These protein balls contain:

• 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup of cashew butter
• 1 cup of oat flour
• 1/4 honey
• 2tsp vanilla 
• 2 tbsp milk (may need a little more)
• 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles 

One hack for these balls is if you don't have oat flour, what I did was bought oats and ground them up very finely in our ninja bullet until it was a flour consistency. Another hack is that the recipe called for agave nectar but I only had honey and it works just the same. 

After you mix all of the ingredients together grab some of the mixtures and roll into small balls this mixture should make about 15 balls. 

Another great thing about these protein balls is that they are only 2 points on weight watchers. 

Treats Your Dogs Will Love

Mobility bites | Omega bites | Salmon oil

I'm not sure if I've ever introduced my dogs on my blog, I know I've mentioned them briefly but they've never really been introduced. Maris is the cream colored pup and she is named after the famous Yankee baseball player Rodger Maris. Forty is the black and white pup and she is named forty because she was my mom's fortieth birthday present. Maris is the younger pup and she acts like the annoying younger sister. Forty likes to chill out and relax and Maris is always annoying her to play. It's pretty funny to watch them interact. 

I love my pups more than anything and want them to stay happy and healthy. Forty has really bad hips and can't walk up the stairs easily anymore. The mobility bites have been helping her so much that she can go up the stairs easier than before. 

I also got the salmon oil which you pump into their food to help their skin and coat. The omega bites also help with dogs skin and coat. Forty and Maris are both Havanese dogs and they are hypoallergenic so these products make their fur so shiny and soft. 

FabFitFun Box Summer 2017

I recently received my first FabFitFun in the mail the other day and I am so excited about it. I'm sure you may have seen these boxes from many people on the internet such as some of the people from the show The Bachelor. But if you have never seen the box before it is a subscription box that comes out 4 times a year (one for each season). This is the summer box which includes a variety of items ranging from makeup to clothes and even vitamins.

This being my first box I was not disappointed I'm pretty excited about all the items in this box and really excited to dig in and try them all. One item that I am super thrilled about is the bkr bottle which is a glass water bottle and I'm really hoping that it motivates me to drink more water because it is something that I really need to do.  I also love the mystic bar necklace that is made up of stone. The one I received is howlite and it promotes calmness and enhances intuition.

How cute is the ready, set, create art kit?! I can't wait to use my creative skills (which are not pretty) to create something so cute for my room or maybe my living room. I have no idea what to do with it though so if you have any suggestions of any quotes or an idea for what I should put on my canvas let me know in the comments below!!

Have a great weekend!

22 Things I've Learned in 22 Years

Today is my 22nd birthday! I am headed up to the lake for a busy weekend of celebrating with family and friends. I guess you could say that I am feelin 22 today and also a little sentimental and scared. Kyle says, "when you turn 20 it's fun because you finally made it to your twenties, then you turn 21 and it a big party because you can drink, and then you turn 22 and people start asking the serious questions; like "when will you get a job" and "are you guys getting married?" I thought that writing down 22 things I've learned in my 22 years would be a good way to start my 22nd year of life.

1. People change and that's okay. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not, but that is OKAY.

2. College is really hard ( but you can do it) and make sure that it is something you look back on with joy and fulfillment.

3. Not everyone will accept you but, hold on to those who do.

4. Forget the bad/mean boys, the good ones are out there. Trust me!

5. Be honest with your mom it is so much easier in the long run.

6. If you want something, go get it and do it.

7. Things won't be handed to you, you have to work for them.

8. Enjoy your younger siblings now because one day they will be busy adults.

9. You'll have to do things in life you don't wanna do, remember that nothing lasts forever (like that semester of biopsychology).

10. Listen to your mom she knows what she's talking about, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.

11. In 2 years no one will care how many Instagram likes you have.

12. Go to every possible family get together because everyone won't be around forever.

13. Go out with your friends and have fun because you deserve it and they do too.

14. Just because you did bad on one assignment doesn't mean you can't succeed in college.

15. If you wanna go on a diet do it the right way, no pills or insane diets where you can only eat 5 calories a day.

16. Laugh at the things that are funny, it's good for your soul.

17. Surround yourself with good people, you don't need any negative energy in your life.

18. Wear the loud and vibrant colored outfit even if it is out of your comfort zone. Rock that S**t girl!

19. Take care of your body and your mental state it is really important now and later in life.

20. Live by the words " She believed she could so she did."

21. Don't get angry over things you can't control, we all make mistakes and we learn from them.

22. Enjoy the little things in life.
