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.

Just made this. Best use of sweet potatoes yet!! It is amazing.
I made this recipe right after you posted it. It was great! We had tuna salad with it. Def a great fall/winter meal! Love your blog, you make my paleo life better!
THIS WAS THE BEST SOUP! Thank you for the recipe and SO EASY. I made this with Civilized Caveman Crockpot Pulled Pork. YUM! Had to be the easiest meal I’ve made and so DELICIOUS!
OMG! This soup is fantastic! I browned some ground turkey (about 1lb) with some curry powder, garlic & cinnamon and served the soup hot over top of the turkey … I can’t eat this fast enough!!
Sweet! Potatoes, that is! I had some that needed used so I am making this now and I will have an easy lunch all week!
I have just started reading your blog and can’t wait to try out some of these for my fam. I read this and laughed, I am from Cali and moved out to Colorado in December 05, which I sware was the coldest winter EVER! Not only was it freezing but I HATED shaving with a passion then I found out how to make my own body polish that makes shaving sooo much easier… Hope it helps…
I used a smaller old coconut oil jar. Filled it a little less then half way, popped that sucker in the microwave, melted the oil, added a little bit of olive oil (it keeps the oil softer) and added sugar for a scrub. That’s it! You’ll be super smooth and won’t even need lotion after. And its its truly a lifesaver and natural since its made at home. Hope that helps. And keep up the amazing ideas.
awesome idea!! thanks Cherise!

Thanks!
