Eat More FAT.

Have you planned out your good fats for the day?

You want to eat MORE monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats!  These kinds of fats will help lower cholesterol, prevent belly fat, strengthen your immune system and boost your mood!  Your intake of fat should be around 30% of your diet, and it helps your body absorb essential vitamins and minerals.

Take this into consideration when choosing what to eat today!
Avocados have 35% more potassium than bananas - what!  That is crazy, forget bananas and all their hype over potassium!  What you need is a dose of AVO!  Avocados are also rich in folic acid, vitamin k and high in fiber!
*

You can also find monounsaturated fats in olive oil, olives, almonds, cashews and peanuts (including peanut butter!).

Polyunsaturated fats can be found in foods such as salmon and flaxseeds (those are the ones that can strengthen your immune system and boost your mood!).
  
Moral of the story : EAT FAT.

Have questions about the types of fat to eat?  Just leave a comment and I'll get back to you!

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

I know. 4.  I used to eat ramen noodles daily.  Now I don't even know the last time I ate them. I miss them :)...

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
