Today is one of those days that I don’t really want to get started. Because it starts at the doctor. It’s not like I have a problem with the doctors or anything, but who looks forward to getting their annual check up? It is by far my least favorite day of the year. Because it’s truly the most unnatural thing. How do they not have some sort of scanner that does the check up for you at this point? Another human is looking inside of you? If that’s not f*cked up, I don’t know what is. Reason #236 why I don’t want to get pregnant: multiple people are looking up there during your 9 months of pregnancy. Ugh, I just hate today. Especially since I have a new doctor. Maybe I’ll buy myself an ice cream cone after the appointment.
Does not wanting a male doctor for my gyno appointment make me a sexist? Someone recently told me I’ve said some anti-feminist things…am I an anti-feminist AND a sexist?! So many questions, so few answers!!!
Wanna see some Shania Twain karaoke? You got it!
You guys, I wish I had much to say about ‘The Women Tell All’ for The Bachelor the other night, but it just wasn’t that interesting. Except for the chick with the chicken. What was that about? I have no recollection of a chicken on the show and all the women seemed to. But I also had no recollection of that woman holding the bird. Was she even on the show? One thing I did feel bad about was Olivia. Listening to that girl be all sad about people saying mean things about her made me totally sad. Because I get that every freaking day. On social media, in emails. I’m constantly criticized so I understand how bad it sucks the first few times it happens. Sure it gets better, but it still gets under your skin. So yeah, I felt bad how the alcohol and producers made her seem on national television. I did like her hair, though. She was rocking that bob. I can’t wait for next week. And to see who is going to be the next Bachelorette. I hope it’s JoJo. I would love more fashion inspiration from her!
So it’s official. I’ve taken over the guest bedroom as my “sh*t I need to pack for Jamaica” room. It’s colorful and bright and there are swimsuit straps everywhere! We are one month away people, time to get cranking on outfits! Dressing up on vacation is one of my favorite things because you can go over the top or wear sweats and you fit in no matter what. Kind of like going out in Colorado. But I will probably go over the top the entire time. Must be one of my anti-feminist qualities. Man, I’m sassy today. Don’t f*ck with me, BRO!…must be the doctors appointment looming over my head. I’ll be back to normal soon…maybe.
Lemon Curd Berry Tarts
- Yield: 14 tarts 1x
Ingredients
- 1 batch of vanilla bean lemon curd
For the tartlet crusts
- 1 cup pecans
- 1½ cups almond flour/meal
- ¼ cup ghee, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- fresh berries, to garnish
Instructions
- Make lemon curd then set in the fridge to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place pecans in a food processor and pulse until they have broken down into a flour consistency.
- Add almond flour, ghee, egg, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and puree until is combines completely together (it will form a ball in the food processor).
- Using a mini muffin tin, use a cookie scoop to scoop out a ball of the crust mixture and place into 14 muffin tin holes. Use your fingers (or the bottom of a spice jar) to press the dough into each muffin tin hole, into a cup formation. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom of each to keep from rising as it bakes. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Let cool completely then fill each cup with 1-2 teaspoons of lemon curd and place a berry on top. If you want an even prettier look, garnish with some organic powdered sugar!

I only go to female gyno…they have the same parts as me so that’s my reason. I wouldn’t go to a hair dresser with a buzz cut, ya know? Or a dentist with no teeth…hahaha. Ugh, we’re going to Costa next month and I want to buy new bathing suits but I need to stop eating fun sized snickers at work and get a flay tummy!!
I tried a guy doctor once, and he did the whole awkward conversation thing. Literally, as he is doing his exam, ‘So, how do you like the weather we’ve been having..?’ Ughhh I was mortified. I know he was trying to help the situation, but it was just made it more awkward. Plus, female doctors know what your dealing with. I asked that same male doctor a lady question, and he gave such a textbook answer. I want someone to be real with me.
It amazes me how annoying and mean some people are to others on a public platform. You don’t force people to come read your hilarious blog. You don’t force them to cook your (FREE) delicious recipes. So pipe down. Just remember, for every Negative Nancy that comments on your stuff, you got probably at least a thousand people that think the complete opposite. So majority rules!
Heard Caila was the next Bachelorette per People magazine. ..could be a rumor, but they said she was spotted filming in her hometown. Who knows.
I miss Positivity 2015 🙁
me too! why have people been so angry this year?!
Totally had my annual appointment yesterday and with a new-to-me doctor too. Idk… every year I make it out to be something super scary but then once it happens it’s really not that big of a deal. I 100% support going to a female doc! It’s your lady bits, who cares if it’s sexist or not, you have to feel comfortable!
I have a male gyno and it really isn’t so bad. He’s quite funny bc he’s very straight to the point and blunt. When I was pregnant I saw some of the female Drs and honestly, I still preferred my male dr. But I agree, going to the gyno is the absolute worst! My entire body sweats sitting awkwardly on the heated table. Then the stupid cloth you drape over your legs and the open in the front top they give you just never cooperate and one is either falling off or flying wide open. Since Im so sweaty, I just love when they tell you to scoot down and the tissue paper on the table sticks to your butt as you move down. I’m scared it’s just straight up gonna get stuck in my crack. Ugh, my appt is soon. Can’t you tell I’m excited?! Maybe I too will get ice cream afterwards.
I made these last night and they are amazing!!!!!!! I am not usually a lemon person but these were delicous!
These look amazing! The chicken girl went home on night one- she was listed as a “chicken enthusiast” as her occupation and they did a little bio story on her on the first night where she had pictures of her chickens and was mulling them over like they used to do with the photos back in the day. I think ABC was bummed Ben didn’t keep her longer so they could have more fun with her occupation so they let her come to the Tell All. But the chicken was the best part, so that worked for me!
Juli- I think they already announced the next Bachelorette as Calia! Which I’m totally bummed about- I just don’t think I can watch her for an entire season.
I’m really torn on who he picks next week, but I want it to be JoJo. I LOVED that he said “I would marry her tomorrow if I could”, yah for another happy ending!
nooooo did they really? i hope that’s not true. i hope lauren wins then JoJo is the next bachelorette!
love all your recipe! and this one looks amazingly delicious!
One good thing about pregnancies and having kids- you never ever sweat your Pap appointments again. So many people have seen your business at that point, you’re like, “Sure, bring in all the students. Who HASN’T seen my whoo-ha? ” 😉
shhhhhh noooooooo i still want to feel like vagina is mine lol
