Bonjour mes amis! I’m pumped that it’s already Thursday afternoon, aka the start of my college-student weekend. The fact that it’s Halloween weekend makes it even better!
My day started off wonderfully with a weights session at the gym. This week I promised myself I’d get 8 hours of sleep instead of procrastinating/wasting time on Facebook, and it actually worked! Makes those 6 am wakeup calls much more manageable. I did 40 minutes of full-body strength training before coming home for a simple breakfast.
Shredded Wheat, banana, almond milk, cinnamon. You know the drill J
After a relatively painless morning of classes (one of my professors had us do group work translating American marketing slogans, which made for some funny conversation) I hurried home for a double-snack plate lunch.
The savory snack-plate:
Two whole-wheat tortillas, cauliflower and cukes dipped into tomato basil hummus.
That hummus certainly didn’t last long. It’s definitely worth a trip to Trader Joe’s to restock though.
The sweet snack-plate:
Gala apple with cinnamon, Barney Butter and a pumpkin spice scuffin topped with pumpkin butter.
Speaking of snack-plates and snack-facing, you know you all want to vote for Kailey to become Sunglass Hut’s new fashion blogger J Can you really think of anyone better for the job? Click here to vote for her!
Off to do Thursday afternoon things. Have a wonderful day loves!

oooh those plates (especially the sweet one) look delish!!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you so much, my love! Now I'm off to go make a snack plate, too!
xoxoxo
Yum, snack plates are the best, aren't they?
Early nights definitely make for easier early mornings!
MUST get that hummus ASAP!!! Nuff said.
I love snack plates! What kind of tortillas do you buy?
Your breakfast looks really good. I think I need to give cereal another go!
Snack plates (and SnackFace, for that matter)...so hot right now!
Snack Plates are my thing - especially for Mondays when the bf doesn't get home until later and is hungry. I think I'll have to pick up some hummus next week!
You have inspired me...must start getting to bed earlier! I need 8 hours sleep to function properly! Also inspired to go buy some hummus...
Seriously delicious looking food today! But then I do say that about your food every day, but it's true! :)
Your bowls of cereal seriously look SO delicious.. however, i cannot trust myself with cereal bc i can't stop at just one bowl! are you ever tempted to have another? quick, tell me- how do u stop at one bowl??!
oh god, I really don't want to think about how well rested I would be if I switched facebook for sleeping...
Totally already voted for Kailey - would she not make the BEST blogger for that job? I honestly have a gut feeling about this!
Those Snack plates look fabulous - especially that hummus!! I just love the diversity of hummus flavors ;)
i am apt to stay up later than i should doing useless things online, too. i love feeling well-rested when i don't, though!
I have been really bad about getting enough sleep lately, so I am going to take this post as a reminder to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night next week! I haven't even been too "busy"; I've just been procrastinating & doing dumb stuff like being on Facebook or watching "Law & Order" until midnight or 1 each night! Haha. And when my alarm goes off at 6 the next morning... Yikes. That makes for a long day!
Have a great Halloween weekend!
i'm all about the snack plates lately. i had the most random one today - a bouchon pastry with snap peas!
I've been into snack plates lately, too. :)
I had TJ's tomato basil hummus tonight for the first time - it tastes like pizza! SO good!
group work. just the mere mention of it makes me shudder. sorry i am anal, like to be in control and when it came to school, defi liked to be in control of my own GRADE. Ohmy, dont get me started on group work :)
nice of you to link up kailey, she's a doll!
and cauliflowre..something about it in this post is making me HAVE to buy it tomorrow :)
i voted too! can't think of anyone better for the job!
I'm trying to get rid of the habit of snacking too much, myself. My snacks turn out to be meals and by the time dinner rolls around, I'm stuffed! I can't seem to control my greed, lol. Will definitely vote for Kailey! They should do one of her snacking on the beach with them sunglasses! ;-)
Thats great that you are going to try and get more sleep... me too! Starting tomorrow. 8 hours sounds glorious.
I love the Scuffin concept too haha
I love your idea of a savory plate plus a sweet plate! I'm one of those people who has to follow a savory meal with something sweet, and then I need something savory to follow that, and...you know where this going!
So anyway, great idea! :)
Sleep is glorious, isn't it? It's the best feeling to wake up so refreshed!!
Have fun this weekend! I'm jealous you get to enjoy it - I'm going to be studying for 2 midterms and doing a business case. :(
I've seen that hummus at TJ's before but I haven't tried it yet. I love that they have a minimum of seven different kinds of hummus. Variety is the spice of life, right? :)
