Oh Disney World, I love you so. You house the most fantastic mother-daughter vacations EVER and that’s why we keep coming back every year – sometimes bi-yearly! – for more. Typically, my mother and I visit Orlando in January-February and/or August-September for our girls only trip(s). This year, because I am out of school and actually have flexible vacation days, we decided to hop on down to Orlando in the end of October to beat the crowds and indulge my love of Halloween 🙂

Good afternoon, lovelies! Yes, yes, I haven’t been posting much lately, but I have a good excuse! I was vacationing in the loveliest place on earth – Disney World! And to welcome me back to the cold chill of New Jersey is a respiratory infection. JOY. So to pick my self back up as I medicate, here are your Monday AFTERNOON affirmations! Have a lovely evening and Aloooha!
Because it feels good.
I firmly believe positive things happen to positive people. However, maintaining a positive mindset is not always easy. To supplement my mental positivity, I try to do good deeds, be kind to others, and express gratitude. Doing all of this will make you happy – don’t believe me? Watch this:

I don’t particularly love salad. I want something of substance that I don’t have to eat delicately with a fork and knife. Paleo Kings and Queens love to tout the BAS (big-ass salad) as an integral part of their diets. Are they full of veggies? Yes. Do they travel well? Yes. Are they easy to prepare? Of course. I still don’t love salad. See below for exhibit A:

Hello, hello. It’s good to be back. I know my posts have been inconsistent lately, but I am trying to make time to write here, even if it’s only a recipe or two. I miss having too much time on my hands. These days I’m always running, always tired, always late for something. So today I give you a wonderful lunch idea – something quick and simple – something even a picky eater would love!
This is one of my favorite Paleo-friendly finds because its easy, inexpensive, and travels well.

Today’s post will be short and sweet. I’m not sure if you’ve seen or heard about this story, but it broke my heart. His twin sister is teased in school. He selflessly asks Santa to make his sister happy in exchange for his Christmas wish list. How many of you would do that?
My challenge for the day is to be kind to each other. Have gratitude. Show appreciation. Be nice. Pay a compliment. Practice Aloha. Please. Do it for this little girl. Do it for all the kids who are teased everyday, those who feel like they aren’t good enough, the ones who struggle with being different, those shunned from society, discriminated against, hated. Do it for yourself.
