Shoe Miracles




I originally saw these wedges over at Kendi Everyday and thought they were adorable. When I saw that they were Dr. Scholl's I knew they had to be practical and comfy too. I followed the link that Kendi provided and found that they were $65, that's pretty pricey for my taste. I shrugged my shoulders and forgot about them.

About a month later, something amazing happened. I was at the outlet mall with the hubby and my cousin, and we walked by a Dr. Scholl's shoe store so I decided to pop in. Found these cuties for only $30! And to top it off, it just happened to be tax free weekend. It was a shoe miracle.

Side note: These are the most comfortable wedges I have ever owned, my poor tortured feet love them.

Juicing

It's no secret that in our household we don't get near the amount of fruits and veggies we need everyday. I usually like most veggies but I'm not big on fruit, and Jim isn't big on either one. 

We recently decided to get a juicer to supplement all the nutrients we aren't getting on a daily basis in hopes of being healthier. Jim did all the research on which juicer to buy, I was just along for the ride. 

So far we've only done one batch of juice, but we're looking forward to trying different recipes! Share your favorite juice recipe if you've got one!

Spinach, kale, broccoli, strawberries, blueberries, apples, plums, oranges, pears, bananas, lemons, and peaches


Pulp and juice
Yum!

Homeslice

Earlier this summer my cousin Laura took a huge life changing step, moving away from her (and my) hometown in Illinois, and settling in Austin. She's been here for almost 2 months now and Jim and I have been showing her everything that Austin has to show. 

The other week we decided to take her to the best pizza place in Austin, Homeslice. It's so delicious that there are two locations within 50 feet of each other, and both are packed most of the time.




While we waited for a table we went next door to Guero's for some live music and drinks. Two hours later (yes, we waited for 2 hours) we finally got a table and had the most amazing pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Homeslice was just one of the restaurants on the list of places I want to show Laura, there's so much wonderful food in Austin to try!
