Body by Vi Day 3

I hope this darn shake diet works and I loose at least 2 pounds by the end of the week lol.

Mixes for the shakes have their own special cupboard! With exception for cold stuff and fruit.

Some of you are probably wondering "why jello mix?" The pudding mixes help with making the shakes more of the milkshake consistency...which is more enjoyable than a watery shake!

Orange n creme shake! Or orange julius for breakfast. Perfect!

1 cup almond milk
1 cup orange juice
tbs vanilla jello mix
banana
2 scoops vi-shape mix
ice

Shamrock shake for dinner!! Omg, I died, went to heaven and came back.
If you are like me, totally overly obsessed with shamrock shakes, this is A-MAZING!!

I thought it was weird that it uses pistachio mix, but hell, who cares if it tastes like McDonald's shamrock!!
I was so crazy, I made a HUGE portion that only came out to about 260 calories with NON SUGAR FREE pistachio jello mix (No, I wasn't even able to finish it lol)....that amount at McDonalds would have probably been around 900 calories!!

I got so excited, I even bought a 24 pack on Amazon of sugar free pistachio pudding mix, which will cut the calories even MORE. What more could one ask for..a healthy shamrock shake and loose weight off it? F*CK YES! LOL

Vanilla extract (to taste)
Food coloring
Mint extract (to taste)
1 tbs pistachio jello pudding mix
1 cup almond milk
1 scoops vi-shape mix
ice

For breakfast this morning I had an awesome vanilla caramel frap! I used to order fraps at Starbucks a lot in high school until I started my last weight loss run (I lost 30lbs right after high school..kept it off til now, 5-6 years later, I've gained 10, not bad for 5 years).
Anyway, a frap without the guilt....love!

There are a ton of different versions for a coffee shake, but I thought i'd go crazy and mix it up with this above! It sort of had a "java chip" flavor

1 tbs vanilla caramel maxwell house latte mix
1 tbs instant coffee
1 tbs vanilla sugar free pudding mix
1 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 scoops vi-shape mix
ice
Enjoy a guilt free frap!

And here is tonight's dinner. Super creamy!
Boston creme pie shake

1 6oz yoplait boston cream pie light yogurt
1/2 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 scoops vi-shake mix
1 tbs vanilla sugar free pudding mix (optional and not pictured)
ice

CHEERS! :)

Juju's Chopped Cobb Salad

Before I start off saying what I put in this salad, I will start off with what inspired me to do this post. As some of you may know, Pintrest can be like crack sometimes. That's how it is to me. How can one resist looking at all those delicious food recipes?! If you're not already following me on pintrest, I suggest you do. Just so you can see how addicted I am to this pintrest crack:

Another thing you may notice is, I try to pin a lot of "healthy" stuff. Just because I'm pretty much, I admit it, obsessed with my weight, and obsessed with food. I talk about this and that (just ask Kas of Pretty Addictions LOL). If you have me friended on FB, you always see my posts are about food. I mean who can resist yummy food porn pictures on peoples' FBs? I've been like that since High School when I went into a mode of "I need to loose weight!" You know that saying, that once we all finish high school, we gain weight? I did the exact opposite.

Now, before I list what I put in my salad (again), keep in mind, I don't like veggies. I LOVE salads, but I hate salads that are based off of tomatoes and onions, I'm sorry. They just freak me out, especially if they are fresh lol. 

This recipe is supposed to be for your first serving + some left overs. Unless, you plan on feeding it for your family. Or in my case my boyfriend, who of course will not eat it. Oh well. You know men and their carbie, fatty, meaty foods. But who could resist cheese fries?

That was from Friday night's fatty dinner at Dave & Busters. We also ordered hot wings and these weird steak egg roll things. Oh, plus drinks. Some diet food eh? lol. But it was SOOO GOOOOOD!!!! :D

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to make this into a crazy professional recipe, this is just to show how I make my salad for those who have seem me posting on Fb about cobb salads lately lol.

Juju's Chopped Cobb Salad

Remember, this is just how I personally like it, of course you can feel free to remove and add any of your own ingredients. Such as tomatoes and onions. 

I will not be putting amounts in the ingredients because that is up to you. If you would want it to be a one time, salad for one meal, family meal, or save some for left overs..make more or less!

Ingredients:

- Lettuce, I prefer to mix an herb mix and romaine lettuce

- Hard boiled eggs, sliced

- Avocado, sliced into cubes

- Bacon, cut into little pieces

(I used turkey bacon to keep it on the "healthy" side)

- Chickpeas/garbanzo beans

- Black olives

- Cucumbers, cut in cubes or sliced 

(I LOVE CUCUMBERS!)

- Roast or Grilled Chicken

- Your cheese of choice, I like to use Feta cheese

- Sliced almonds if you would like an extra crunch in your salad, although I used pepita seeds this time around.
- Your dressing of choice*

Romaine is my lettuce of choice, although, I like to throw in an herb mix as well to get more nutrients out of my salad.

Chop your lettuce!

Put your sides together - I forgot the avocado in the picture, oops!

I had bought a roast chicken a couple of days ago, so I decided to use the roast chicken instead of grilling some, so this one didn't go bad! haha

Put everything together with the cheese and dressing!

Toss and enjoy!

Some news on me...we're looking to lease a house!! I NEED IT! We need the 2 car garage and I need a work room,instead of having everything all over the place in our living room (my jewelry work space) and kitchen (makeup work space). We found one..there 4 other people they are considering to move in...ahhh!! I really hope we get it! We already passed their credit checks and whatever. The only issue is our move in date. But..I want it so bad I'm willing to pay rent here and rent at the house...I guess.. haha. It's a very well kept house!! We went to meet with the owners today. Wish us luck!!

My break today from work..spent with Kayla!

Since I haven't made any posts recently, I thought I'd do a quick one right now of my findings today!

I don't go out too often since I am pretty much a workaholic and don't get much time to myself... but today was spent with my friend Kayla!

 Oh and guess what...I FINALLY got an iPhone today!! YAY!! I cannot put it down :p You'd think me, a person who has their own business, would have a "smart" phone lol. 

Anyway! We decided to go to CVS after lunch..this is what I got:

Basically a bunch of lippies because I am a lippie freak, 2 polishes by Wet n Wild but a "new" brand they made, Wet n Wild Tinted Moisturizer in Sun Kissed, a rip off perfume of J. Lo's Glow (it smells just like it and it was only $10!), Wet n Wild cream eye liner gel and lash glue to finally try my official attempt at lashes. Along with 2 Wet n Wild lipsticks and one of Revlon's lip butters which I LOVE. I need to get the other colors!

You may be noticing that most of the stuff is Wet n Wild...well they were on sale for 30% off :p

As Kayla's friend commented.. Only in America!

Hilarious lol. No we didn't buy it!!

I plan to try this very soon :p

My first official attempt of applying falsie lashes...success! :]

Of course I had to get my Starbucks fix as well.

My usual is an Iced Non Fat Caramel Macchiato!

A drink & salad

Mm homemade strawberry margarita! Made it last night!

Sorry I haven't made any posts... I haven't bought anything lately that is post worthy! Unless ya want me to post about groceries haha :p Well that, and I have just been crazy busy! Not to mention my internet has been going INSANEEEEE the past two weeks!! It finally stopped acting up this week. Phew. I could live without the internet, but the thing is, the internet is required for me to do my jewelry orders. I don't have a laptop and I can't exactly move my crafts into a library! Those of you who have your home business would know you can't just move your supplies! I actually had a couple customers get mad and say "how is it hard to move into a library??" uhhh.. you have NO IDEA at all lol.

It is going to be a very busy March and April...April, we are going to be going on a full week cruise and we will be moving to a new place! We need to start looking at places, NOW haha. March will be busy because I will need to use that month to catch up on orders/get EVERY SINGLE ONE done before we leave on the cruise. Hope I can do it! that's gonna be hard!

I finally caught up on watching all the Jersey Shore episodes! crazy stuff...I like Jwoww the most. Next, is Pauly, Vinny, Snooki, Sammi, Deena, Ron,...and I just don't like Mike haha. Angelina...WOW annoying b**** :p

I made this yummy salad today!

 

It was found from pintrest~

The recipe requires you to mix a balsamic vinegar dressing with poppy seed dressing. At first, I thought that would be REALLY strange..but it turns out it wasn't that bad! I also used goat cheese instead of feta cheese. I prefer goat cheese in sweet salads.

Some new/recent ear cuff earrings!

 

these past few weeks... (pic heavy)

Man.. these past 3 weeks have been so busy, it's crazy. Then + jewelry orders from etsy/ebay.. no time for new designs! >.< Will make some soon..hopefully.

Just posting this to show i haven't disappeared ;]

One week after another..

I feel so jewelry deprived! lol

New ear cuffs, jewelry pics, friday night fun, PIC HEAVY

FYI: 

PAYPAL BUTTONS ARE STUPID AND THAT IS WHY SOME ITEMS DO NOT HAVE IT. FOR SOME REASON, IT ONLY ALLOWS PEOPLE TO PURCHASE 1 ITEM AT A TIME...

Official business cards! woohoo! Some of you may be able to guess where they're from... I didn't feel like spending a lot of $$ on them so that's why it doesn't have a picture of my jewelry or anything :/ Oh well, I guess it's a bit better than what I was doing before!

The white font on the black ones are really hard to read... so I'm a bit disappointed. I liked that design more too! :/ Don't know if I'm going to use it.

New ear cuffs..been in a ear cuff mood lately!

Custom triple piercing request:

Slowly updating old pics as they are ordered...

Whatcha do over the weekend?

Here's what happened Friday with me, I woke up at around 9:30am, met up and sold some jewelry, made jewelry til about 3-4pm...(it's all i've been doing lately!) then Friday night it was play time, lol.

It started out with a drive to Temecula for Pechanga. 

Jordon's dad lives right by there so we met up with him at the casino for a bit. But before that... happy hour at Chilis!

I love their queso dip & chips!

Strawberry Margarita at Pechanga

$100 slot machine... woooow
