Ok ok I did it. I washed my hair. AND shaved my legs. I hated every second of it. Especially since it’s now freezing in Colorado. Shaving your legs + goosebumps, blows ass. It’s painful. It’s like constant razor burn throughout every swipe of the razor. But I’m trying, people. I’m trying!
Guess what I decided? This weekend is going to be good. Real good. You know why? Ok, so last night I went out shopping for a Halloween costume and found this awesome black sequin, open back dress. So it’s slutty, but not really because it goes down to my knees in length. I looked through a bunch of the Halloween costumes there, you know, the dirty nurse, dirty Hogwarts, dirty firewoman, but I can’t pull that stuff off. Nor do I want to. It’s freezing, and my ass barely fits into my spandex, let alone a dress that is suppose to cover only half my ass. Imagine how that outfit would look. I’ll help you out: not good.
But before I become a slightly skankified Audrey Hepburn, I’ll be attending an awesome fundraiser. My friend Clark who owns CrossFit South Denver will be hosting a Bears for Kids Charity Competition this Saturday October 27th from 12-4pm. It’s a pretty cool fundraiser, especially since 100% of the proceeds will go to the Denver Children’s Home. And in an attempt to raise even more money for the kids, for every $10 received in donations, Clark and I will do one burpee. Once the total donations are totaled, we will compete to see who can finish the burpees first. So what I’m pretty much is saying, you should come, hang out, work out, and do burpees. Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh and remember how I said the dress went down to my knees. I lied. I just tried it on. My ass took control once again with this dress. It’s real short. Ugh.
Is it pathetic I get goosebumps every time I see the commercials for the last Twilight movie? Wait, don’t answer that.

Don’t worry Juli shaving your legs is overrated! I haven’t shaved mine for over 3 weeks! I am going to start getting them waxed once a month. Its better and I dont get grow out from goose bumps or razor bumps! So tonight I have to shave them because its my halloween party! Boo so I will be suffering in a few hours when I do!
P.S Recipe looks amazing! Cant wait to try this!
Yum! I’m loving anything crock pot/ sweet potato lately. Unfortunately it’s still a little too hot in Miami for heavy soups, but I’ll have to bookmark this for later.
Just made this tonight and it is AWESOME!!! I served it with some jalapeno chicken sausage it was out of this world!! I love your blog and recipes, you’re doing wonderful!! Thanks for creating these incredible recipes!! <3 them!
Hubs lovvvvved this!!!
I made this soup this weekend and absolutely love it. I accidentally put in a whole onion and it taste great. Also I didn’t have any vegetable broth so I use chicken instead.
Made this today with butternut squash instead of the sweet potatoes (since that is what I had in the pantry) and it turned out great! thanks for the recipe!
Was reading your “tortilla” chicken blog and saw the sweet potato basil soul mentioned..so since I had a lot of sweet potatoes left from camping, I looked at the reciepe and wow I had everything. Put it all into the crockpot left to get my son from school, go to his Cub Scout Meeting and drop off a friend at soccer. Low and behold 3 hours later I come home and not only did my house smell good but my dinner was done. I blended it and cooked up some turkey hot links. Yummy yummy yummy. I am now eating with chicken for lunch. Not sure why here in Cali it is mid 70’s;( can’t wait till low 70’s high 60’s. Thank you so much for all these yummy food ideas
Just made this for dinner. So delicious, and velvety smooth. Yum. Thanks for the daily laughs…since discovering your blog a few weeks ago my mornings at work are much more fun.
Yes 100x to this recipe! Now I can’t wait to try some more of your stuff. Thanks for making Paleo so yummy
I made this yesterday but I swapped the basil for a good dose of curry powder and a bit a cumin and lets be honest, I crumbled a piece of crispy bacon on top. Seriously, so good I can’t wait to eat leftovers at lunch!!
