Can we talk about New Girl right now!? If you haven’t watched the latest episode, shame on you, but look away RIGHT NOW!!
OMG Nick and Jess are finally getting together!! The last episode was fantastic. Mostly because Schmidt got stung on his face by a jellyfish while trying to catch a lionfish with a lacrosse stick. BUT the Jess and Nick thing was awesome. He’s so in love with her. I never thought my favorite show could get better, but once they threw love into the mix, I pledge to never EVER miss another episode. How many times have I said episode in this blog so far? Answer: too many times.
New subject.
I went to the dermatologist yesterday. Instantly started crying. Poor derm lady. She had no idea what that appointment was about to bring in. Well it brought a mess of a grown woman, desperate for answers. I even wrote down a list of everything I’ve tried to help fix my skin. I just can’t take it anymore. I can’t look in the mirror anymore, my face constantly hurts, and I cry probably every two days out of frustration. No one should have to live their life like this. Time to take control.
On a lighter note, I’m going to get my nails AND toenails done next week. Yes, yes I am. I seriously haven’t gotten my nails or toenails done since high school. I never saw the point. The polish just came off, looked gross, then made your nails worse. BUT, since I will be doing a cooking presentation next week at PaleoFX, I thought I should try to make myself look more like a lady. I think I might even wear an apron, like one of those skirt aprons. Those things are adorable. And I want to try to fool people into thinking that I’m adorable. Little do they know. Can’t wait to see some of your there. What in the hell else am I going to wear other than an apron!? I just got instantly stressed.
OMG. I have found a new blog I love. And it’s a paleo blog! I usually only fall in love with non paleo blogs because they have way better food porn, but this one is awesome. And naughty. And I love me some naughty paleo food. I actually found her off of instagram while sitting at the dermatologist. The things you can find while bored. And I am so lucky to. Check out Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind. She’s pretty new so she doesn’t have a ton of recipes yet, but every single one she has looks stupid good. I’m kind of in love with her. Go check out her blog and give her some love on instagram @vanessabarajas. You’ll be happy you did.
Oh PS, who here is doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox? I swear, you can do it if I can. Especially if you have these cute little things stored in your fridge. It has a slight sweetness to it and the fat from the coconut oil and coconut butter keeps you full and satisfied. For real, make these.
21DSD Green Apple and Coconut 2-Bite Treats
Ingredients
- 1 green apple, cored and diced
- ½ cup coconut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or more, if you’d like)
- pinch of salt
- 2 extra tablespoons coconut oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the pan. Once hot, add diced apples and begin to cook down, making sure they do not burn.
- Once apples are soft, add the cinnamon and a bit of salt.
- Now you need to get the coconut oil and coconut butter soft, so place both in a bowl and into the microwave for about 30 seconds, then mix with a spoon.
- Then add the sautéed apples to the bowl with coconut butter and coconut oil and mix well, adding a bit more cinnamon.
- Now use a spoon to scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of your chunky mixture into a silicone liner in a muffin tin. Repeat until mixture is gone. If you do not have silicone liners, use paper (they may just stick a little).
- Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes before eating. Also store in the fridge because they may want to melt!
- Makes about 9 discs.
- Enjoy the 21 Day Sugar Detox!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m on day three of 21DSD and don’t think I can make it without your recipes.
I just made these! SUPER DUPER DELISH! I modified a bit. I sprayed a mini muffin pan with a little oil and then filled about 3/4 full. I was in a hurry to eat them so I put them in the freezer. : – / When I took them out I let them sit for 5-10 minutes and they popped right out of the pan. Weeee!
Wait…what did the doctor say about your skin? Did s/he prescribe anything? I used to have such bad/deep acne when I was in my mid 20’s. Just curious.
These look fabulous! I am on day 6 of the 21DSD and I really didn’t start having any cravings until today. I made some awesome paleo banana bread and ate with some pasture butter. These will satisfy my next craving I think!

only thing that ever worked. im a lifer. it does what accutane does, only topically. i tried all the homeopthics, all the antibiotics, dietary changes….after 6 weeks and a shedded layer of skin, i do not worry about my face any more. wash with cetaphil. use sunscreen. its bomb digs. i felt paralyzed with my acne, covering up, re-covering up…ugh!! i get it. love ya!
Seriously, I’m in love with your website and would give one of my little toes for one of these right now! Your little stories and random thoughts make me miss Denver that much more. Definitely go for the gel manicure…totally worth the extra few dollars! And good luck with the skin issues!
Because of you I had to burn through a bunch of saved New Girl episodes and get caught up! Got the paleo giggles when I heard this:
Jess: “Are you adding butter to bacon?”
Nick: “It keeps it from sticking to the pan.”
LOL
I made this last night. Tasty! Similar to apple pie. I think next time I’m going to sprinkle some almond flour into the mixture, make it even more like apple pie.
I know i’m adding to lots of advice already, but have you tried drinking lemon water? I’ve always had acne problems, but my skin went crazy after I went off birth control, and then even crazier when I got pregnant. I talked to an esthetician and she suggested drinking the juice of an organic lemon (and it HAS to be organic – I’ve tried regular lemons and it doesn’t work nearly as well) with 32 ounces of filtered water FIRST THING in the morning – don’t brush your teeth, don’t do anything before you do this. Anyways, she said the theory behind bad skin is it’s caused by a liver that has difficulty “resetting.” Usually this has nothing to do with diet (as a fellow clean eater, how frustrating is it to see people with terrible diets and beautiful skin??), just genetics. Long story short, I did this for 2 weeks and all acne is pretty much gone. I stopped, and the acne came back. I then tried regular lemons with not nearly as much luck. A pretty easy thing to add to your routine, and heck, at the very least you get some tasty hydration first thing in the morning. Hope this helps!!
I had the worst most painful acne in college.. my nutritionist told me acne was always a sign that your liver is having a hard time detoxing… it turns out that its usually dairy. After I cut back a lot on the dairy, the cystic acne I had went away! Good luck girl
