“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change”
Good morning! Good morning! SMILE because it is Friday!
I am happy and going this morning. I went to bed before midnight last night so I feel very refreshed and not groggy. I hope teaser photos were entertaining….I mentioned this week has been exciting because I have some fun foodie adventures.
Well to begin, it finally happened…. I finally got a Breville Juicer Elite! Eeeekkk!! I got a great deal on it over at Bed, Bath & Beyond with coupons. So what is my opinion on this baby?
WOW. AMAZING. FABULOUS. EASY. Okay I am not trying to sound like an infomercial here but my golly – the Breville puts the MB to shame! (sorry MB, you will still have a special place in my heart for smoothies) Wednesday evening I brought it home and my roommate and I started juicing anything on hand. 2 peaches and 1 apple later we had some of the most delicious juice I have ever had.
Talk about the ultimate green monster! I made this for breakfast yesterday and gulped it down before Ryan and I rode at the velodrome.
* 3 kale leaves
*4 celery sticks
* 1 granny smith apple
So with all thos green ingredients you would think it tasted pretty nast…. but in reality it was superb. Refreshing and very, very filling. If Ryan drank it – I think it passes the test.
Today’s drink concotion was:
* 1 beet, stem included
*4 carrots
* 2 kale leaves
* 1/2 a cucmber
Literally, the Breville handles all these veggies and fruits with ease. I am amazed to watch how fast it juices! This drink was another simply delicious mixture. There was enough juice for two glassfuls. I am amazed and in love with this juicer.
I have used previous juicers in the past and they are such a PAIN to CLEAN beacuse they have a bazillion parts. The Juicer Elite has 4 parts that you clean and they are dishwasher safe as well. It is so easy that in the mornings I have time to juice and rinse it off in 10 minutes or less. To me, that is so worth the price tag.
Over at Happy Vegetables the topic of sports bras has been discussed. Here are my two favorite sports bras. A bit on the pricey side, but to me they are worth it. Who wants to have the gals bouncing around? I don’t!
Lululemon Flow Y Bra II is one of my all time favorites. It gives me a great amount of support and provides little cups to put inside the bra if you want to wear it without the look of squished boobays. I wear it for running, cycling and pretty much everything else -they come in the cutest designs and colors as well! Retails at $42
The other love of my life (besides the Breville) is the CW-X Lite Support Bra. $46 This company makes the greatest running gear (maybe I am biased). But I find this bra to be unbelievably supportive and comfortable. I wear the Lite Support because, well I am not well-endowed- but for those of you who are – CW-X makes some great extra support bras. I have to thank Ryan for introducing me to this company because I love their running gear.
What are your favorite sports bras? What are you least favorite?
I have never been happy with Nike sports bras because I feel like they lose their elasticity/tightness so quickly and fit weird on me.
New Restaurant Friday is at ALBA with a couple friends tonight. I am excited, the menu looks pretty fab.
Alba and BimBamBoo reviews will be up soon!
Lastly, I think it is best to end the post with a tribute to Michael Jackson. I hope we can all remember and be thankful for having the opportunity to enjoy his talents and music.

Tears formed in my eyes. I was suppose to have cups upon cups of juice….
