Running on Empty

Post Workout Shake

This shake is designed to to give your body the essential nutrients you need after a hard workout! Each ingredient individually is great for after any work out, so feel free to have the ingredients together or separately! If you do not have or do not wish to buy Carnation Breakfast Essentials (Chocolate) feel free to substitute with organic chocolate milk (preferably skim).

To make this shake is incredibly simple! First, blend a banana, ice, milk, and Carnation Breakfast Essentials (Chocolate). Be sure to blend well to get rid of any chunks of ice or banana! Last add the peanut butter and yogurt! You can add more or less milk/ice in order to get a consistency that you prefer.

Note about the ingredients: I recommend Natural/Organic Peanut Butter over regular in order to avoid partially hydrogenated oils. Similarly, I suggest Greek Yogurt over normal yogurt, because Greek yogurt contains more protein and less sugar than normal yogurt!

#NSales Favorites

 

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to get items you use every for a great price.  A classic pump, a pencil skirt and a leather jacket are must haves.  The Anastasia Brow Serum works wonders if you are trying to get the big, beautiful brow look.  

Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping!

Flashback Friday

Happy Friday Everyone! 

The name for this blog was inspired by two people that are very dear to us.  Loved ones leaving before their time are never provide happy memories, but they do provide us the chance to take a moment to really appreciate what is important, family.  In honor of family, this week's Flashback Friday comes from 1994, when Claire joined our happy family.  Elise and I are overjoyed, you can tell ;) 

Christmas in July #NSale

Its the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! This is perhaps the best sale of the year because you get current pieces at fantastic discounts.  Lovers of all things Nordstrom, we have been devotees of the sale for many, many years.  It is a well known fact that our mother regrets the day she gave us our own Nordstrom cards... The sale has been going on for card members but don't fret! Items have been restocked for the official start of the sale.  What are you waiting for? Go Shopping! 

Keep an eye out later for a post on our amazing finds :)
