{ COOKING VIDEO }
Are you crushing this New Year?! It’s honestly just making me overwhelmed. With some upcoming trips in the books and maybe traveling internationally by myself next month, my brain is always working overtime. So much so that I can’t fall asleep until 3 in the morning. And then the next night I’m worried I won’t fall asleep until 3 in the morning and that worry keeps me up. It’s become a vicious the 2 weeks or so. There’s honestly nothing to worry about or overthink, but I keep doing it. I’m worried about booking my flights, getting a ride from the airport to wherever I decide to stay, getting recipes done ahead of time, thinking up new workouts for you guys, getting posts done ahead of time in case wifi fails overseas, what will I pack with me on the plane, will I need lots of snacks, will I need an iPad, I don’t have an iPad, where will I exchange my money, should I get Global Entry, could I even get it in time, will I need a spray tan, I don’t want to burn, should I bring a jump rope, will I find new podcasts to listen to, should I read more books…this is what happens as soon as I put my head on pillow. It’s driving me insane!
On a lighter note, and because I mentioned books, are you as excited as I am about 50 Shades Darker coming out on Valentine’s Day!? There are so many people who talked sh*t about the first movie, but after I read then book, I loved the movie. And the guy who plays Christian is THE BEST, except for when you think of him as a f*cked up murderer in the show The Fall. But after seeing an extended trailer after The Bachelor the other day, I’m extremely excited for that movie. Who doesn’t love a little soft porn that’s socially acceptable? That sounded weird. I think I’ve been listening too much to the podcast Guys We F****d. I ran out of true crime podcast and moved on to dirty ones. Lovely.
WAIT. Soft porn….duh, THE BACHELOR. I don’t know why I’m even talking to you right now. I have episode 1 to finish up. I started it yesterday and got too distracted with work and didn’t pay attention to the sh*t show so it’s time to re-watch it with my full attention. You can’t miss out on any second of that show. It’s time to pick my favorites. I really should join a fantasy league, but, ain’t nobody got time for that. Ok, I’m gonna watch it while I make you guys a new recipe so stay tuned on the blog tomorrow for a little recap. And if you don’t watch The Bachelor, GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER! It’s the best. It’s an absolute waste of 2 hours, but what the hell else are you gonna do in the winter time on a Monday night!? COME ON! Ok going to watch byyyyye!

I hate not being able to fall asleep at night because you have so much on your mind.. its the worst. Global entry is the best thing! It has saved me so many times from the dreaded airport lines! It takes a while to get an interview once you sign up for it.. so if you want it I would start the application soon. And about the iPad I use mine for just about everything I barely use my laptop anymore because I have it! Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!
Re: Global Entry–get it! For me, the whole process from online application all the way to getting my card in the mail took about 3-4 weeks. Since I’ve had it, it has never taken me longer than 15-20 mins from when I start deboarding the plane to when I’m out of customs/immigration and at baggage claim. And this is in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area where customs is usually a 1-2 hr process! Completely worth it.
So I’ve lived out of town for 2 years and now that I’m home I’m so excited to go all-out girl mode on the Bachelor! My friends watch on Tuesdays on Hulu so I may have to watch what I read on here. But we did a paper bracket because we wanted to make up our own rules instead of following the pre-set online ones. I have Raven winning because I think she will be a come out of nowhere one who sticks around longer than expected, but who knows! I don’t do much reality TV but I’m super psyched for this lol.
I’ve been waiting for this recipe ever since you posted a photo on instagram! Looks so good, can’t wait to make it for meal prep next week. Thanks!
I live in the US but am originally from Australia, and my sister lives in Bali, so I have travelled there quite a few times! I will email you (even though I know you hate emails haha) some tips! Also, can’t wait to eat this frittata! Keep doing what you’re doing, Juli! You rock.
I don’t know where you are traveling to, but I am excited for you! I have been overseas/on international trips a few times and found I have the best luck exchanging money right at the hotel or withdrawing cash from an ATM. If you use an ATM may just make sure you have a backup credit card or spare cash in the rare chance the machine sucks in your card and doesn’t give it back! ATMs at hotels or actual banks are the safest bet. Also make sure you let your bank know you’re going abroad so they don’t deactivate your cards!
Just an FYI, if you apply for Global Entry and interview here at DIA, the first interview dates are now booked out until July of this year. Yay! Our tax dollars clearly at work. If you plan to be in different cities in the US this year, perhaps see if they have earlier interview dates? I unfortunately have to wait until June for my interview when I’m going to Cuba in February. Lovely… Good luck!!
You know what’s very strange? The fact that that every time you talk about going out with friends and drinking only Perrier is super inspiring to me. Please keep telling me about the times your husband and friends get too drunk and you’re very sober, because it gives me encouragement to do the same and I hate alcohol! Anyway, I used to suffer from the SAME “sleep anxiety”, and you know what cured it? Supplementing with Magensium glycinate (it has to be glycinate because glycine is an important amino acid for calming the brain).. anyway.. you’re the best!
Yes! I take Magnesium at night too, and (usually) sleep like a champ, now! I just got the Nature Made stuff at the grocery store and it works really well!
I have to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I am a worrier at night too planning things for the next day and rest of the week in my head – my brain doesn’t shut off! Have you ever used anything to help you fall asleep at night?
Great tips above! Agree that global entry is worth it but it can take a while to get the interview. You might be able to do it at a different airport that you happen to be going through anyway more quickly (e.g. We live in columbus Ohio but we did our interviews in Detroit MI).
Definitely let your bank and visa or whatever credit card know you are leaving the country so they can put an alert on your card. Getting money out of an ATM once at your destination is usually easiest bc it will usually come out in the local currency even tho you can select how much you want in US dollars (USD). I’d still take maybe $100-$150 in cash in 1s (for tips), 5s 10s and 20s just in case it takes a day or so to find a good ATM. Google about best ways to take out money in Bali for sure bc it does vary country to country (e.g. Scandinavia you can just directly pay with your credit car everywhere…Germany? Cash everywhere!)

More but I’m too lazy to list
Finally: when it doubt while packing, leave it out. I went to Japan and Singaporean for 8 weeks with 3 v-neck tees and a single pair of jeans. My back thanked me AND I had more room for random finds plus a good excuse to shop (I need a scarf! Etc)
🙂 sleep well girl!
