By this time last year, I’d already sworn offΒ the oven due toΒ the heat and was dreaming up this cherry chocolate ice cream for #IceCreamSundays. But I swear we’ve had more cold, rainy and dreary days this spring than warm and sunny ones.

On the one hand, I’m pretty upset, cuz this island girl loves her sun. But I’m also not too mad because rainy days leave me itching to bake – which is what happened a few weekends ago when I made this blueberry fig vegan skillet cake.

Fell in love with avo toast all over again this mo Fell in love with avo toast all over again this morning 😍😍😍

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings πŸ’― times more satisfyingπŸ₯‘πŸžπŸ’š
.
Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer πŸ’πŸΎ
