2 Birds With 1 Stone

I spoiled you all with TWO posts yesterday so I figured I would allow you to enjoy Sunday all over again with me as I sit in my TWO Monday classes…one of which is TWO and half hours long!

But first, TWO TIDBITS!

So I have this annoying patch of dry skin under my right eye that never goes away no matter how much lotion I slather on it. My coworker this summer (an esthetician) told me it was eczema. I wasn’t too surprised because my mother has eczema too…but on my face!?

Anyways, It’s been super super super dry this winter and FLAKY! The other day, Lauren commented that she uses coconut oil as a moisturizer. I would have never thought to put oil on my face since I associate oil with zits! But I thought I’d give it a try.

I put a dab on my dry skin patch (using a spoon, don’t worry) and the next morning it was GONE!!!! I couldn’t believe it when I woke up with a smooth patch o’ skin under my eye! The darn dry patch has been there for SO long and POOF! it was gone….just like that!

I need TWO jars of this magical oil–so I can use one as a moisturizer and one for baking

Coconut oil kills helps 2 birds with 1 stone!

This is my space heater. The other day, I tweeted that I seared my leg on this guy. I accidentally touched it for a split second (OW!!) and then YELLED all sorts of profane words….

Yesterday I decided to take a look at my burn and found the honey comb imprint burned on there!! So weird!! I wonder how long my tattoo burn will stay there.

Sorry, that was so random.

Let’s get to the food shall we?

Sunday mornin’ brunch:

Whole Wheat Bagel Thin w/ TWO egg whites and a slice of Kraft cheese.

I found these bagels at a convenience store on campus. They’re not as small as mini-bagels but they’re not as big as normal bagels. How PERF!

Apple CHUNX!

Cafetiere Coff

Then I went out in the beautiful sunshine and walk-read for ~TWO miles. This is killing 2 birds with 1 stone at it’s very very best.

…..and yes, I use grocery receipts as my book marks. Shush

Snackables:

Graham cracker w/ a black bean brownie and chocolate chips. It tastes great this way! The crunch of the graham cracker and the sweet of the chocolate accentuate the brownie taste!

My roomie went to Trader Joe’s so I had her get me TWO things: Kefir (it’s been far too long) and Pineapple chips (it’s been WAY too long)!!!

I ate this whole bag throughout the day. Okay, there’s only 1 1/4 cups inside which is 2.5 servings….not so bad, right? At least I stretched it out and ate them in TWO sittings .

…I’m so addicted to these it’s not even funny.

I went to the gym for 60 min on the elliptical and then I busted out a 1 mile sprint! I need to clear my head!!

Dinner:

Panini-pressed sweet potato discs:

A 3-day old dining hall salad on it’s LAST leg.

Eggplant Black Bean veggie cheeseburger w/ brie and avocado on an Ezekiel English Muffin

Mickey D’s has nothin’ on ME!

Dessert:

TJ’s Tart Froyo with kefir, a crumbled oatmeal cookie, strawberries, chocolate chips.

And then I ate another handful of chocolate chips. I had a super duper chocolate craving!!

Alright that’s enough birds and TWOs for today. Hope you are enjoying your Mondays!

Which Superbowl commercial was your favorite? I gotta find them online to watch!
