I luuuuuuurvvvvvv oatmeal. I love it so much. BUT I’m not a fan of the fact that I’m hungry almost immediately after eating it. When people say it sticks to your bones and keeps you full for hours, they mean minutes. When I was eating oats on a regular basis, I was eating more often than I needed to because I just felt hungry all the time. I still sometimes eating gluten free granola as a treat, but I try to stay away from it most of the time. But that doesn’t mean the cravings don’t go away. So whenever I get a craving, I make chia seed pudding to suffice. And it satisfies every time!
You guys. I wasted almost 3 hours of my life the other day. Did you guys see the Batman vs Superman movie? WHAT.THE.FUDGESTICKS?! It was awful. Not even like, ok this could improve, no. It was terrible throughout. I know nothing about movies but I know that was one of the worst I’ve seen in a looooooong time. And you know those actors got paid BANK. And they are gonna make a second one because of how it ended. The only fun part of the entire movie was looking at Wonder Woman. Now SHE is one nice looking specimen. But isn’t that dumb? I watched that movie because I like that kind of stuff and all that intrigued me the entire time was a hot woman. Do you think that actors think it was a good movie? Or do you think they regret it? I always wonder this kind of stuff and think about it in my own business perspective and choices I made. Do you think they regret making money? Let’s ponder this for a second….
Ok, I’m over it.
So after a weekend of getting my eyebrows tattooed (microblading) and not being able to go in a lake for a week, I feel empty. I’ve gotten so use to going to the lake a couple times a week to get better at surfing and this weekend was spent just wishing. BUT having new eyebrows tattooed on is totally worth the sadness of staying out of dirty water for a bit. If you missed it on Snapchat or instagram yesterday, I’m going to be talking all about my experience with that plus my experience with other treatments that I’ve been trying out AND I’ll be sharing all my makeup and skin routine products. About 3 years ago, I talked about my experience with accutane and so now I’m going to share what it’s been like after accutane and what I’ve done to keep acne at bay and keep my skin looking better and better with time.
It’s going to be so fun to share this stuff with you guys! So if you’re into that kind of stuff, awesome! Leave your questions below and I’ll answer them in my upcoming post! And if that doesn’t interest you, awesome! I will continue to have new recipes every week and have over 650 free recipes here to choose from, so no need to get upset! I’m just excited to share different interests with you guys outside of just healthy and delicious food! So if you have any questions now that you want to see answered next week, leave a comment here or on Instagram or tweet me!!
“Peanut Butter” and Jelly Overnight Chia Pudding
- Yield: 2-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam (I used this recipe but only used raspberries or you can use store bought)
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Blend almond milk, sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a high speed blender until combine.
- Place the blended mixture into a resealable large jar (or 2 smaller jars) then add chia seeds. Seal jar and shake.
- Place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes then shake again. This will keep the chia seeds from separating from the liquid. Then place back in the fridge overnight or for at least 3+ hours.
- The next day, mix in some raspberry jam and top with fresh raspberries! Easy breezy!

Did Accutane clear all breakouts (cystic, white/blackheads & body)? Is it a permanent solution? Thanks!
I love chia pudding!!!
Did you have sun damage and if so, what was the most effective way of treating it?
Is almond butter in the alternative wheel house for the sunflower seed butter?
I’m planning on subbing almond butter (since I just made a huge batch!)
yes! it just won’t taste the exact same
Made it this weekend (used almond butter, and frozen raspberries, and frozen blueberries), so, so good! Non-paleo friends loved it too!! I was so surprised at how much a small amount will fill you up. Thanks for the great recipe!
i think it’s great you’re doing other topics! I’ve recently been lucky enough to get a BUNCH of free Biotherm products and i’ve noticed such a huge difference in my skin from it. Usually i’m super laid back when it comes to skin/hair care, but i’m kinda glad to be learning all the other products that are out there. Look forward to checking it out 🙂
I have a question! I know you did that limelight procedure in the past (the one that makes [is it melanin?!] spot on the surface of your skin and fleck off like coffee grounds). I think I want to do this to help get rid of some sun spots but its sooooooo expensive! Was it worth it??
Also I remember that you did your own wedding makeup. Can you give any tips? That’s my plan, but I’m scared I will be too excited to put mascara on myself correctly.
Hi Lisa I had lots of sunspots and after reading friends post about rodan and fields I decided to sign up and try their reverse regimen. I had amazing results and my skins never felt better. If you’re interested in finding out more feel free to email me tiffanyg828@gmail.com
I didn’t realize you did your own makeup for your wedding. That is awesome! I would LOVE to hear more about that because I’m going to be doing my own makeup for a wedding this Septmeber. Any tips or tricks are much appreciate. Thanks!!
I’m always envious of your eye makeup in snaps! Not sure if you’ve ever answered this before… but if those are your lashes A: congratulations and B: what’s your go-to mascara? And if they are not always your lashes: where do you get false lashes? I’ve only done false lashes like twice, and I loved them but felt overwhelmed by them.
looking forward to the post/posts you have planned. I’m a bit of a lazy tomboy when it comes to skincare, but as a late 30’s ginger I need to start taking care of this face. Thank you for always sharing with us readers!!
pretty confident this recipe is going in my fridge tonight. Agree with the feeling hungry after oatmeal.
Stemming off this question, if those aren’t always your lashes, what type of lash glue do you use? The few times I have tried false lashes they start to pop off a few hours later, ugh!
Looking forward to your beauty posts. I’m useless when it comes to makeup so will be great to see what you do. I used to have cystic acne on my face which was horrible and really embarrassing. I learnt that expensive products, professional facials, peels, etc help but the only way to solve the problem permanently was through changing my diet, healing my gut and feeding the good bacteria. So for me, a paleo diet with lots of vegetables, healthy fats and fermented foods / probiotics was a big part of that. And I also stopped drinking alcohol. A lot of it was trial and error and educating myself. I guess you have had a similar experience. How did you approach changing to a paleo diet and how long did it take you to see results from that in your skin? I think a lot of people here would benefit from knowing.
I am so excited for your beauty/skincare post! I am also really interested in your Invisalign experience. I would love a post on “A Day in the Life with Invisalign”. I am getting it (my trays should be in by the end of this month) and I am nervous and excited because I am a snacker and an all-day beverage drinker (tea, coffee, lemon water) and I think I have to alter my habits/schedule. I would love to see you handle it, as a food blogger.
totally planning a invisalign post too, once i’m done with it!!
SO looking forward to your upcoming beauty post! Not in a creepy way, I’ve noticed over the last few years how you’ve transitioned into such a natural and – for lack of a better word – well maintained beauty. It’s inspiring! and so intrigued about the micro bladed brows.
Hoping you drop names when you talk about your treatments for those of us living in Denver 🙂
and word about the oatmeal. i stay full for 20 minutes and then I’m just hungrier than I was before eating the stuff.
I love the beauty stuff. I’m in my mid thirties (37 is still mid – right?!?!?!?) and am NOW getting acne after never really having a problem with it before. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis, so obviously that is a trigger. Anywho…always looking a good skincare regimen using natural products. Supplements that help with acne??? Also would love to hear about other permanent makeup solutions.
I got a microderm about 6 mos ago and that was a total disaster for me. 🙁
