Couldn’t Say No

By Courtney 35 Comments

Howdyyyyyyy. How’s Wednesday treating you so far??

With the exception of a car accident this had traffic majorly backed up this morning on my way in to work, it’s been a pretty good day for me, so I can’t complain. By the time I did make it in to work, I was more than ready to dig into my breakfast that I brought with me. The original plan was a Chobani with some strawberries, blueberries, and granola, but shortly after making my entrance into the office, I was greeted with lots and lots of fresh Bruegger’s bagels.

This has not been out of the ordinary, as it seems like there’s food for one reason or another quite often. And although I’d resisted in the past, this morning I just couldn’t say no.

But really, it worked out perfectly. I had my peanut butter in the desk, my pumpkin cream cheese in the fridge, and a banana that I brought with me for a snack. Then, when I say a fresh multigrain bagel sitting right on top of the bag, I just had to have it. What can I say…just call me the carb queen. ;)

That amazing combo kept me full all morning long, plus I was fairly busy, so by about 1:00pm, I was ready for lunch. I thought about just having my original planned breakfast for lunch, but ultimately decided to go with the lunch I brought.

I actually had this same combo for dinner last night and had planned ahead to have leftovers for today. I had roasted a spaghetti squash, and topped it with a sliced, roasted garlic chicken sausage, marinara sauce, and some parmesan cheese. Part of the reason it looks so messy? Well, that would be because I dropped my container as I was taking it out of the fridge…thank goodness the lid was still on. I would have predicted tears had it not have been.

On another note, I can’t thank you all enough for all of your awesome feedback on yesterday’s foundation post! This afternoon, on my lunch hour, I stopped in quick to Target to make a purchase, and after seeing so many rave reviews, I decided to give the Revlon ColorStay foundation a try.

Man, I’ll tell ya though…it’s one thing to narrow down to at least a brand. But then to have to actually try and find your shade? Oooof. That’s a whole different beast.

After trying a few different shades along my jawline (I must have looked hilarious all afternoon long) I decided to go with the Fresh Beige shade. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow what the verdict is…I’ll let you know!

Plans for the rest of the evening tonight include a workout and a no-fuss dinner. Not quite sure what that entails, but I’ll figure that out when the time comes. :)

    I am terrible at picking out what color works best with my skin, I usually go to Ulta or Sephora and have someone help me pick!

    Mmm I've been all about the carbs lately too! I feel ya on the make up color thing... It's always so overwhelming trying to find the right shade. After reading all of the comments on your post yesterday, I think I'm going to try out the Revlon ColorStay after I finish up my current foundation bottle. Let us know how you like it! ;)

    I stopped using foundation. Actually, my entire skin regime changed drastically and my skin has never looked better. Dandruff shampoo (recommended by a dermatologist) make sure it as salicylic acid in it) and Oil of Olay or Pond's Cold Cream and drink lots of water. I use loose powder if I am making up. As lovely as your skin is I don't know why you are even using foundation!

    FYI- if the foundation doesn't end up matching your skin, most drugstores now have amazing return policies on cosmetics. ;)

        They are super annoying about returning products for sure! I did return a foundation there once though because it didn't work, and they gave me store credit...which is better than nothing I guess. :) CVS has the best return policy as far as makeup- in my experience anyway.

    Hahaha I laughed at the thought of you having several shades on foundation on! Have a great workout and dinner! I also am at a loss of what to make... Super Bowl leftovers again and my husband might divorce me.

    Looks like a nice light colour - I'm as white as Casper and find it hard to find light colours so I'd need one even lighter but would be interested to hear how you find it! What type of skin do you have in terms of would you be spot prone, combination or dry and what not!

    I think that bagel looks to be just about the most perfect breakfast ever. I have yet to make spaghetti squash...you always make me want to though! One of these days.

    I'm pretty sure that you're going to love the ColorStay! But I know what you mean about finding the perfect shade. I'm pale as a ghost so I usually go for one of the lightest ones, but figuring out which ones have pink vs. yellow undertones can be a little harder.

    I use foundations from makeup forever. They provide the best coverage, but I will never have an exact match no matter how hard I try. Face is a totally different color from neck lol

    I just went to Sephora to get my free birthday gift. Even though I didn't need to purchase anything, I ended up buying some powder foundation. It's interesting because the girl who was helping me find a shade also put it along the jawline/lower cheek. I didn't know that's how it's supposed to be done!

    One of my friends recently threw a Mary Kay party and I finally found a foundation that works for me. My mom was a total tom boy so I got no help in this department growing up!

    Shopping for makeup can be a nuisance and let's just say that those mirrors at the make-up counter aren't the most forgiving ;)

    That is one delicious looking lunch. I have plans to make roasted spaghetti squash pasta with veggies and sauce this weekend. Maybe I will have to add some vegan sausage to the mix, too! Finding the right shade of foundation = a nightmare to me. It is one of those things that nobody finds fun! :/

    I'm a MAC girl all the way, although I definitely think Revlon Colorstay is a good alternative. They have a great range of shades. I hate buying a foundation that doesn't match my skin - such a waste of money!

    Sounds like now you are pregnant you are back into working out a lot more and making comments like "carb queen". Think having a bagel is pretty normal, especially when pregnant!!
