{Thursday Thoughts} Don’t Be a Know-It-All

January 31, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! (Thursday thoughts written Wednesday…late at night…after about 12 hours at school today.  No joke.  Chem test Thursday night so wish me luck!!) The subject we were going over in this morning’s nutrition science class was carbohydrates, more specifically sugars.  The topic came to lactose and my smarty-mcsmart-smart professor asked if anyone was lactose-intolerant,…

Get Uncomfortable! #Blend2013

January 27, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I believe that to grow ourselves, we need to get a little uncomfortable.  We need to step out from what we are used to and push ourselves further than we think we can go. Original image I know there are those that don’t mind meeting new people or being put into a new…

{Fitness Friday #4} Fitness Rambles

January 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday! I really couldn’t decide what alliteration I wanted to use today, or really what I wanted to blog about, but I knew I did want to blog.  Anyone ever feel that way? It also seems like I have a bazillion ideas when I’m busy, not near a computer, or should be paying attention…

{WIAW #53} Just Add Good

January 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! This title works two ways.One: Chobani’s catch phrase is “just add good” for their new baking with Chobani campaign.  I received a bunch of plain and vanilla Chobani greek yogurt to experiment with, and experimenting is what I’ve been doing.  Especially Friday.Two: I had a grumpy morning ranting post, so this one will…

I need a humidifier

January 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hey Friends, Man this morning is weird.  I randomly woke up at 5am, even though I went to bed late.  I think I heard someone get up in the apartment above me so I thought it was 6am (since this happened yesterday around that time).  Not that the people above us are loud..it’s just weird…

{Teach Me Tuesday #4} Social Media Time Management

January 22, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! This is something that EVERYONE has to deal with on a daily basis.  Wasting precious time on social media sites. Facebook. Twitter. Pinterest. Blogging. Those are the ones that suck me in at least. Believe me, even just linking to those sites just now was a dangerous thing. And not just when we…

{MIMM #6} Day Off?

January 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I surprised myself (and my roommate) when I decided to try to keep my circadian rhythm in order (see guest post from a sleep expert) by getting up at 6am this morning…when I don’t even have school! I suppose part of it had to do with the fact that I went to bed…

January 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Happy Friday Friends! I’m bringing back Friday Five Foodie Finds!  Maybe.  I tend to have commitment issues when it comes to blogging since this is supposed to be a hobby.  But I will likely be looking more for good recipes that I can make at my new apartment because I feel a little in a…
