WIAW: Flashback to Finals

Well, it’s that day of the week again, which means it’s time for another “What I Ate Wednesday post!

This week’s WIAW features some of the foods I feasted on during finals just about a month ago. I can’t believe it’s already been a  month! Phew, so glad those stressful study days are over!

I haven’t taken as many foodie pics lately as I was hoping to, so these are basically all the photos I had on my phone from the past month or so.

Anyway, enough explaining…let’s see the eats!


These are amazing with peanut or almond butter, nutella, or really any form of chocolate. Long story short, these are an awesome snack!

Another awesome snack? This yogurt flavor! Tastes like dessert, but can be eaten any time of day!

It’s safe to say that I am beyond obsessed with pop chips. I literally ate a bag every. single. day at school. I had extra dining bucks left at the end of the year (as most students at my school do) which meant I could stock up on tons of my favorite chips so I can enjoy them this summer!

No matter where I am – school, home, traveling, wherever – I always crave bagels for lunch. My faves are cinnamon raisin, whole grain/wheat, and blueberry!

We all know I like to have dessert pretty much every day, but it is a necessity when I’m studying/ writing papers all day long for weeks on end! Cookies, candy, ice cream, froyo, you name it, I want it for an after dinner treat!

Obviously, I was a little too busy studying to take tons of pics of what I ate, but that gives you a good idea of just a few of the extra snacks and such I ate during finals this past semester!


Now that I’m home for the summer, I’m back to most of my typical at-home eats, which have been featured on my blog ever since I started it almost a year ago(!!!)

Nonetheless, here are a few pics I’ve taken recently.


My fave wrap and sweet potato fries (I’ve shown this baby so many times on the blog… Such as here, here, and here – just to name a few!)

Some of my favorite protein and soft baked snack bars as of late.

And lastly, one of my favorite summertime salads from one of my favorite restaurants! The new Cosi Peruvian Palm Salad – “Peruvian peppers, hearts of palm, avocados, tomatoes, diced cucumbers and romaine with white balsamic vinaigrette”. Oh my gosh, I’m obsessed.

That’s all for now. I’ll be back soon with more fashion shtuff!

PS – Feel free to follow me on Twitter @fuelingalife! I’m also considering creating an Instagram account for the blog. Butttt, I’m still contemplating changing the name of the blog. Hmmph, I just don’t know! Decisions, decisions (not my strong suit).

Any feedback/ opinions on all of that ^ are welcome! 🙂


Hope you have a very happy Hump Day!! And as always, thanks to Jenn for hosting the fabulous WIAW link-up!

It’s Been A While…

Hey guys!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ve been suuuper busy. My weeks have been jam packed with midterms, papers, internship work, study abroad research, health coaching, football and hockey games, awesome runs in the perfect Fall weather, quality time with my friends, a brief visit home, the list goes on…

Besides the lack of sleep, it’s been good!

I’m loving the fact that it’s Fall! The leaves are gorgeous and the temperatures are PERFECT. Plus, apple and pumpkin flavored everything doesn’t hurt! 😉

I don’t have much time this morning, but I wanted to share some pics that have been accumulating on my phone!

Enjoy 🙂

Throwin’ it back to…

Yes, it’s Thursday. And yes, I’m blogging. Say what?

I know, I can’t believe I’m actually on here today (should be reading Plato’s Republic right now…) but I’m just way too excited to share something with you guys!

As soon as I went on Instagram today, I was immediately reminded that today is ‘Throw Back Thursday’.

So, I’m going to give this quick blog a little #tbt action.

Today, I’m throwin’ it back to that time (who care if it was just yesterday…) when

Shay made my day!

That’s right…Shay Carl, the man behind the Shaytards (as well as many other) YouTube channel, said hi to little old ME!!

Amanda was filming with him on Tuesday for a ShayLoss shoot, and she was SO nice by telling him how big of a dork fan I am!!

See him waving?! He’s waving to me!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

You can watch the entire video here! (My big claim to fame happens at 11:00).

I freaked out for a good 10 minutes by myself before I showed all my roommates and texted the video to some of my friends.

You made my day, Shay!

~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, that’s all I got for ya today.

Time to read Plato then work on a speech and essays galore! Oh how I love college 😉
