Backyard Bowls

Backyard Bowls, a little eatery located in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara is hot and trending right now, with its popular acai bowls bringing new and returning customers to its store.

I recently discovered Backyard Bowls on my road trip to Santa Barbara with my parents. One of my friends who I am going to college with lives in Santa Barbara, and I distinctly remember him mentioning going to Backyard Bowls with his family as well. Luckily, the hotel that I stayed at in Santa Barbara, the Best Western plus Pepper Tree Inn, was right across from La Cumbre Plaza, where Backyard Bowls is located, thus making the access to the eatery very simple. I remember waking up in my hotel room to my parents telling me to get up because we were going to Backyard Bowls for breakfast. Hearing the name of the restaurant sparked the memory of my friend telling me that Backyard Bowls was delicious, thus making it easier for me to get out of bed and ready for the trek to the store.

Once at Backyard Bowls, I was amazed by all that was on the menu. There were the popular acai bowls, ranging from the traditional berry bowl all the way to a power bowl and cocoa almond bowl. But there was much more than just acai bowls. There were smoothies including the cocoa acai and tropical ginger, and breakfast bowls such as oatmeal, yogurt bowls, and the ability to build your own hot cereal. I of course, went for the traditional berry bowl, and was surprised by how delicious it was! The acai bowl I had at Backyard Bowls was the first acai bowl I had ever had in my life, and it is safe to say that they are delicious, not to mention nutritious as well.

The acai bowl that I had was incredible. There was the blend of acai berry, banana, strawberry, and apple juice on the bottom, and then topped off with granola, fresh fruit, goji berries, and honey. The bowl was so delicious that I literally begged my parents to take me back there for breakfast the next day, and of course, we did go back the next day.

Backyard Bowls is delicious, needless to say. I did not have enough time to try their smoothies, oatmeal, or protein bowls, but I can easily say that Backyard Bowls is totally worth going to. They have such a large variety of options on their menu, and the employees are more than willing to help you find the perfect product for you to purchase and love. If you live in Santa Barbara or the Los Angeles area, definitely make sure you take a trip to Backyard Bowls because it is a trip worth making.

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test.

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
