Valentines Day 2016

I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!! I know I did for sure. Plans did not go as expected, but it turned out for the best! I am still in a Valentines Day coma, and am trying to avoid the carbohydrates and candies because I consumed so many leading up to and on Valentines Day.

On Valentines Day morning my boyfriend surprised me in my dorm room by bringing me a chocolate rose, which was really cute. We then went to breakfast, did some homework (sounds terrible, but as college students, we have to do it) and then spent the rest of the day together, exchanging Valentines Day presents and watching episodes of Arrested Development as well as other random but comedic YouTube videos.

As for dinner, we got on the bus to head downtown; however, my boyfriend was reluctant to go downtown due to the fact that we had been downtown for the past few days to run errands, go out to lunch or dinner, etc. So, we ended up getting off the bus while we were still on campus, and walked back to our residence hall where we ordered pizza and cheesy garlic bread and watched 50 First Dates starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler while eating the food and having the chocolate rose for dessert. Overall, even though our Valentines Day dinner outing got cancelled, we still had a really enjoyable dinner and got to spend quality time together, something that is difficult to do with my roommates and his roommates always being in my or his room.

Because we consumed so much pizza and garlic bread, I did go out on a run the next morning to work off all the carbohydrates and other non nutritious foods that I consumed the day before. I am continuing to exercise and drink a lot of water throughout the rest of this week so I don't feel as guilty for eating so much on Valentines Day. But hey, Valentines Day is only once a year, so might as well splurge right?

Overall, my Valentines Day was amazing. I got to spend quality time with my boyfriend, and even though we had a quiet night in with movies, pizza, garlic bread, and chocolate, it was definitely memorable and will probably be a tradition that we will continue to hold yearly. It was relaxing to spend deserved alone time with my boyfriend; we definitely laughed, cuddled, and talked a lot, which I really enjoyed.

I hope that all of you guys had a memorable Valentines Day with your loved ones!

Book Recommendations

I am a huge book worm and try to read whenever I have time, which is usually late at night before I go to bed, on weekends, or on breaks. I recently found that I was short on books to read, which led me to research on Google novels that would appeal to me. Because I am a sucker for romance movies, I mainly looked for that genre of novels. I recently got a few novels in the mail along with a few that a friend let me borrow, and I want to share them with you. 1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - I have read this book around three or four times, and it is still my favorite novel. It is a story about two teenagers who do have cancer, but it focuses more on the blossoming love story between them and how their world changes because of that as they also go through ups and downs due to their illnesses. It is a great read anywhere and anytime, and will always make you tear up by the end. 2. Let It Snow - This novel consists of three holiday stories written by John Green, Maure...

Dairy-free Banana Bread

From the end of 2019 to now, I have been really into baking breads. Out of the ones I have made, making banana bread and pumpkin walnut bread have been my top favorites. One of the first banana breads that I made was utterly delicious! However, because I like to share my baked goods with others, particularly my boyfriend, I went on the hunt for a dairy free recipe. My boyfriend is lactose intolerant, and I wanted to bake something that both he and I could enjoy. So, upon coming upon this recipe during my search online, I made a loaf last night and it was so delicious I had to share it on the blog. Here is the recipe!
