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!

“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!

I have tried to make chia pudding a few times and EVERY time I try it, it never thickens up. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? It is so frustrating because I really have been wanting to try it and have seen so many good recipes like this one.
like the chia seeds don’t expand? if it doesn’t thicken up, it probably means you’re using too much liquid
Tessa, I have also found that when I make it, it helps if I heat up the liquid before I do the shaking. For some reason if I use almond or cashew milk straight out of the fridge, it wouldn’t thicken, but if I heat it up, or put a little hot water in the jar and shake the chia seeds in that before I add the cold ingredients, then it turns out wonderfully.
I haven’t tried chia pudding (YET). Will have to give this a try! We have a bunch of cherries I can make into a jam sort of substance I bet..
Really looking forward to your eyebrow / makeup post. As a lady with light eyebrow (aka basically CLEAR), I’m always looking for eyebrow options. 😀
Hello!
Very excited to hear about your beauty routines! I am also very interested in micro blading! Do you still need to fill in at all? did it hurt? How long did the procedure take? Do you have to re do the micro blading in the future?
Also, what do you treat your under eye area with for anti aging? You always look so youthful! I am 25 and already seeing some wrinkles ????
Thanks!

Okay, Juli….I’ve been wondering this for a while. You mentioned having oatmeal cravings. How do you typically handle a craving? I’ll follow a clean diet for a few days that WHAM-O! a craving so intense it makes my mouth water. My exercise routine has been so great, but these stupid cravings just sideline my health goals. Any advise would be great:)
that’s a sticky one. i’ll give into cravings in certain ways. like today i wanted something sweet, so i bought a piece of gluten free pumpkin bread at the coffee shop. or say i’m craving something like a dairy queen blizzard, i make my own ice cream. so i give in to some cravings in some ways. but i find the more that i give into cravings or have sugar, the more i want those things more often, so i try not to overdo it. the more i make better decisions about the cravings i have, the less crap i eat. i hope that makes sense! let me know if it doesn’t or if i can answer that any better!
Juli!!!!!! You need a SPOILER ALERT warning on snapchat 🙁 🙁
why…it’s the day after it aired. how am i suppose to know who has watched it and who hasn’t?
I would love to hear about how you care for your face when working out every day. I tend to wash my face in the morning and evening, but that means I tend work out in my makeup. Do you remove your makeup before working out, or just wash your face after? I have pretty dry skin so I try not to wash my face too often.
I literally cannot wait for your beauty post! I am so bad/lazy about trying out new beauty things. I also hate spending money on something for it to not work or just be a sucky product. I’ve been needing some new ideas for skincare so this couldn’t come at a better time!! Thanks for all you share 🙂
Omg we totally think Alike, Batman vs Superman was horrible! Wonder Woman was definitely the only good thing about the movie! The chia pudding looks delish, going to have to try it!
Do you have eyelash extensions or do you use false lashes? Any mascara rec’s?? Thanks!!
Your picture is beautiful! Looks Yummy!
