I always get so excited when a new Bestowed box arrives in the mail. I know I’m going to open it to find so many delicious and healthy treats!
Bestowed was kind enough to send me a free box for November, and this one was especially great – full of some old and new favorites.
If you want to try Bestowed for yourself, use discount code HELLOTEN105 to get your first box for $10 (normally $19)! This code expires on 11/30.
fun.
I love when my friends send me funny random things throughout the day.
…like this weird animation of me that Jessi made. I still have no idea how or why she made this but, I’ll take it. Haha.
And then there’s the Male Models And Cute Kittens Doing The Same Pose “article” that Erica posted on my Facebook wall. She really knows me too well…
Also on the fun front – on Wednesday night we had a clothing swap at my place for our last Community Group. We all walked away with a ton of great new clothes, and we donated what was left (about 3 trash bags full!) to Covenant House.
food.
To add to the girliness of the evening, I made an old favorite - a batch of Nutella Cake Batter Blondies. They were a whole lot of ooey gooey chocolately success, to say the least.
As for a new favorite – I’m loving these Little Green Handcrafted ‘Shroom Burgers. I always find store-bought veggie burgers to be way too small, and these are actually the size of a real burger. My go-to lunch lately.
(yes, we initial our food. haha)
fitness.
Every time I stop working out first thing in the morning…I pretty much stop working out all together. Why do I always forget how amazing it feels to exercise before work?! Back on the bandwagon with some strength training + treadmill intervals.

Have you discovered any new food finds lately?
Do you prefer a morning or evening workout?
Some new food finds have been several new Dannon Light ‘n Fit Greek yogurt flavors - Strawberry Cheesecake, Pomegranate Berry, Caramel Macchiato, and Blackberry! All are yummy.
i’m totally a morning workout girl. up and out every day before work!
That male models/cat post cracks me up!
I love to workout in the morning but with classes during the week it’s usually afternoon//evening for me!
I prefer to workout in the morning. It’s so refreshing to feel like you’ve already accomplished something in the morning. During the colder winter months I have a hard time getting myself out of my warm bed but morning workouts are certainly preferable! I recently discovered chia seeds per my mom. She’s been adding them to her fruit drinks and they’re a very healthy addition!
I love those cat pictures! So funny. And that clothing swap is such a great idea!
You are the second person I’ve seen blog about the Bestowed box today. Clearly, I need to check them out!
I’m the same way with exercise- if I don’t do it first thing in the morning, it usually doesn’t happen. It’s just a pain to get all sweaty after I have my hair/makeup done. And my afternoons are always busy. Le sigh. But working out in the morning gets me so motivated for the day so I can’t complain!
Also, note to self: subscribe to Bestowed. That box looks amazing!
Morning workouts ALWAYS make me feel like I have a better day - and its probably true! Evening workouts are okay…but I’m more likely to not do them, or make excuses. Plus, I get to hang out with a great little group of people to make me feel better!
