Happy Halloween!!

Mom sent me a Halloween card and I just have to share the little comic she put on the back šŸ™‚

Halloween Card

Made me giggle…I think that’s everyone’s worst fear!!

Tonight, Brian and I are going to a Halloween party as Marry Poppins and Bert. Ā Our costumes look pretty legit just laying out, so I’m hoping they look just as good when we put them on!

What are your Halloween plans? Ā Passing out candy? Ā Eating candy? Ā Going to a party? Ā Hopefully something fun šŸ™‚

Alright! Let’s have a little Five Things Friday!

Five Things I Ate:

  • Hot tea. Ā So, technically this is something I drank, but I’m counting it as something I “ate” because these teas taste so. darn. good!!

The Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend Herbal Tea has a touch of cinnamon, apple and lots of other fall flavors that just make me say Mmmmm…the entire time I drink it.

This Numi Rooibos Tea is also fantastic! Ā It has a vanilla-y, warm flavor that almost tastes sweet and feels so smooth in my mouth. Ā I love that it’s caffeine-free because it has been making an appearance after dinner in the Rochford household.

  • I whipped up a super simple curry for dinner on Monday night that I served with quinoa. Ā So yummy and easy!

  • Baked salmon with Gina (the Fitnessista’s) Kale Salad. Ā You gotta try it!

  • Grapes. Ā I saw them at the grocery store last weekend and thought they would make an easy mid-morning snack. Ā I totally forgot how delicious grapes were. Ā They are soooo sweet. Ā Kind of like nature’s candy!

  • I tested out a breakfast casserole that I plan on making during Thanksgiving week while Brian’s family is staying with us. Ā It was a hit and Brian and I have been enjoying it all week! Ā (Eggs, coconut milk, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes)

Five Workouts:

  • Tabata Cycle
  • Boot Camp
  • Yoga
  • Weight Lifting (I LOVE getting back in the weight room)
  • CXWORX

Five Things Making Me Happy:

  • Fun Socks! Ā Brian’s family got me some socks with little teeth on them šŸ™‚ So cute!

  • Essential Oils! Ā Jesseny from TheĀ Empowered MommaĀ sent me some essential oils to test out a few weeks ago and I have been loving them.

TheĀ DeepĀ Blue RubĀ has been great for rubbing on sore post-workout muscles, and we love putting the lemon essential oil in our cleaning products to give them a lemony fresh scent! Ā Brian and I use all-natural unscented cleaning products, so adding the essential oils is a nice change šŸ™‚

Thanks for the samples Jesseny!

  • Speaking of oils…this Taspen’s Organics No More Aches Oil has been a lifesaver when it comes to headaches. Ā I really hate loading up on pain killers, but when I feel a headache creeping in sometimes there really is NOTHING that will make the pain go away…until I found this oil! I found it at the Pearl Street Farmer’s Market about a month ago (it’s from a local Colorado company!). Ā When I first made the purchase I was a little skeptical, but I am so glad I decided to give the oil a try.

As soon as I feel a headache coming on, I dab a little around the base of my neck and on my temples and drink a huge glass of water. Ā Literally within about 30 minutes the headache is GONE. Ā Seriously amazing. Another great thing? Ā This little roller is the PERFECT size to slide in my purse so I have it on hand at all times just in case!

  • New Friends. Ā Brian and I have had so much fun meeting and hanging out with new friends out here in Denver šŸ™‚ Ā I love it!
