Hi there! How are you? I'm doing good. I just started a new job this week and have been working on getting into a routine with it. It's nice! But I am in desperate need of clothes that aren't workout clothes. Over the past year I've basically been able to live in my workout clothes and get away with it. Well not anymore! It's kind of nice to wear "real" clothes again though. I used to be so into clothes, fashion, etc. so maybe I'll get back into that just a bit and play with my wardrobe some. Share with my your favorite places to shop! Along with "real" clothes, I'm also in need of ideas for easy lunches. So expect some recipes for lunch in future. Send any ideas my way too and I'll see what I can do. Anyways, I have a lot of exciting (unfinished) posts coming your way! I have a terrible habit of starting one post and getting an idea for a new one which just leaves me to have a lot of unfinished drafts. I guess it's something that will keep me busy! In the meantime I wanted to share this shake with you. It's 7:45 a.m. and it's strange for me to be typing this at the moment. I usually write my posts in the evening which is strange because I'm definitely a morning person. Anyways! I was just going to post it on Instagram and move on, which is why I only have a couple iPhone photos of it. (I apologize for that) But then I decided that it's too good not to share here too. I'm excited to get this out into the world so that you can all make it on this beautiful day and share your photos of it with me. Just use #createnplate on Instagram and I will be so excited about and jealous of your beautiful creation. Enough of the rambles though, let's eat. Actually, let's drink!
