Bidding Adieu to One of My Fave Blogs … BISJ
One of my favorite bloggers, Steph at Back in Skinny Jeans, anounced today her blog’s retirement. It was a very brave move — as it had been part of her identity for so long — and not that my opinion matters, but I support her 100 percent in her decision.
You can read her whole story here, “When It’s Time to Let Go of Your Skinny Jeans.”
As she notes, BISJ had its purpose, and its purpose has come and gone.
Now, she is focused on something new, Jeans for Good, which is, in Steph’s words, “… a mission for people to let go of their un-used jeans like the skinny and fat jeans, and donate, sell, or auction those jeans for a cause or charity close to your heart. On our favorite theme of how small actions still produce results, I believe that even a pair of jeans can help make the world a better place.” (more…)

Great post on hunger worth sharing that Kath of Kath Eats Real Food wrote for Breathe magazine.
Check out “Are You Hungry?” here.
Speaking of “are you hungry?” … the past two days, my hunger levels have been super-high around 4. The uncomfortable gnawing, pit-in-my-tummy sensation, which means lunch — though it felt perfect — clearly hasn’t been substantial enough.
Knowing I will be exercising after work and could surely benefit from the fuel — and not having any almonds or fruit on hand — I’ve taken to making a packet of instant oatmeal, still in my desk from the winter. (more…)

Oh Panera, How I Love Thee … Let Me Count the Ways
My favorite summer salad is back at Panera, and I want the world to know it!!!
For anyone who doesn’t know which salad has won my heart time and time again, it’s the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with chicken.
Can we say, SWOON!?
For the past five years now (has it been five?) it’s been my go-to summer staple. I LOVE this combo of fruit, nuts, meat. It’s sweet and salty, and oh-so-delish. I know I could recreate it at home, but it’s just not the same.
I hate the fact that it’s not available year-round, and so I literally await the arrival of this salad each summer. I guess there’s something to be said for waiting for good things … I’m just an impatient gal!
So when my friend (also a huge fan!) posted on Facebook that it was back, we had to go. (We went last week at lunch). (more…)
