breakfast anyone??

Ive gotten some questions on instagram about breakfast ideas.
here is one of my favorite ones. I consume most my carbs in the morning. I need a lot of carbs because I am working out a lot and I lift heavy. So I overload on carbs.

Here is my normal breakfast


Peanut butter Chocolate Oats
* 2 servings of Quaker oatmeal cooked in almond milk ( about half of a cup of almond milk)
* 1 scoop of peanut butter and chocolate protein powder ( I use muscle milk but you can use any kind that you want) ( if you dont have this flavor just get the regular chocolate protein powder and add 1 or 2 table spoons of peanut butter)

Place oats in with milk in a pot and cook at medium heat, once it is nice and hot add protein and mix very well ( if you are adding peanut butter add the peanut butter at this time too )

mix well in pot and serve. You can add slices of banana on top.
This is delicious and full of healthy carbs and protein. perfect for the start of the day. remember you need carbs dont deprive yourself from them

Bikini Body!! Swim suit haul


I decided to release some stress so I went swim suit shopping!!! I went to target. They have a great collection of swim suits at very affordable prices. At first I didn't know which one I wanted to get. I had around 10 different suits in the fitting room. I managed to narrow it down to 3 different kind.The quality of these swim suits is definitely at higher standards than the average affordable swimsuit. Shell is 82% nylon and 18% spandex and the lining is 100% polyester. I think for 14.99 each total of $28.00 for both top and bottom, you definitely cant beat that.
The detailing is beautiful too.  The blue and white polka dot one has a cute red and white bow in the center and the flower swim suit has a heart center detailing. Both tops are bandeau with option of a strap. The bottoms are standard bikini cut style. I especially love the way the blue and white polka dot bikini looks on me. These tops are also great if you have small boobies as they enhance the chest area with the cute ruffles ( flower one ) and the big bow in the center ( red and white polka dot one)
I decided to leave the red polka dot one since it didn't really do much for me and my medium tan skin complexion. These where the ones I picked from the 3. Hope you guys like it! Hurry to target before these cuties go~

Fit Chicken Quesadilla!

Last week was hell of a week. Traveling to NYC and being in pain due to my hip. This week I feel a lot better and was able to work out my lower body. :D This is my post work out meal. It has just enough carbs 24g and high in protein 32g for an awesome post workout lunch.

Recipe:
* 1 Whole Wheat Wrap, or Tortilla
* 2 to 4 oz ( depending on how much you want)  of  chicken
* 1 Laughing cow Light Swiss cheese (35 cal)
* Brocolli or Spinach
* Trader Joes Fresh Salsa ( in hot) 
Bake the chicken and cut into small cubes or strips. Take wrap or tortilla and spread the Swiss cheese on it and put it on a none stick skillet for about 2 to 3 mins on medium, ( until nice and toasted) Put chicken and veggie on top and finish off with fresh salsa.  ENJOY! :D

Also my hair is growing out from a angled bob I had, and this is what it looks like! its terrible and i cant get it to fall nicely anymore. Any ideas on how I can manage until it fully grows out?? I am not using any flat irons anymore. ( only on bangs to tame them) <3
