Tasty Tuesday: Vegan Pumpkin Loaf

Hello!
Long time no talk or see! My how I have missed this, my blog that is. Life got a little bit in the way, but I am back and hope to make this a much more frequent thing. I have some new posts written and ready to post, so hopefully I can keep up with it.

I recently started a weekly game night with some friends who happen to be vegan. I have really enjoyed this the past few months, but found we were getting into bad habits of having less than ideal snack foods. I knew I needed to start bringing alternatives, but ensuring everyone could have it was a struggle.

Tasty Tuesday: OptiFast 900

Yesterday, I started the last leg of my journey to having my Gastric Bypass surgery. I have been put on a program called OptiFast. Optifast is a prescription meal replacement program where you have 4 shakes a day and drink a hefty amount of calorie free beverages. To say the least, these shakes are gross. They smell like baby formula and have the consistency of a melted milkshake. I know its only day two, so I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think I can drink these straight for the next 3 months. I did mix one yesterday with ice and cold coffee in the blender and it was palatable, so maybe some experimenting is in my future.

I will update you as my struggle rears on...

Dear Me: An Open Letter to My 18 Year Old Self

When I look back at the past 8 years since I graduated high school, I have become much wiser on certain aspects of life, come into my own as a human being and developed a sense of comfort in who I have become. I thought I would write a letter to impart my little bit of knowledge and advice on my 18 year old self, in hopes that another young person will read it and learn a little something too.

We Turned One!!

Hello trusty readers!! I wanted to share some exciting news with you... My YouTube channel, Lipstick & Liquor, that I share with my bestie Laura turned one year old last week. To celebrate, we made a video reacting to our cringe-worthy first upload. It was an inebriated attempt to review the Ed Sheeran concert that we had just been to in Winnipeg.
