Something that is already amazing just got infinitely better.
I adore guacamole. Give me a tub and I’ve got dinner. Sometimes I like to have a little chip with my dip, but it’s honestly just to look civilized.
I’ve seen other recipes that use peas to lighten the caloric load of guacamole, but peas add their own distinct and frankly undesirable taste and texture. Not too mention extra carbs. Here you won’t even notice the kale, or the lowered calories and extra nutritional vitamin goodness that comes along.
You’ll be too busy swooning over your indulgent gucamole snack. Or dinner. No judgement.
Set out your ingredients and bask in the fresh produce of this glorious season.
Process the ingredients in your beloved Magimix, which at this point has become a member of your family. (Easter was really fun this year. )
Enjoy it with your favorite dippables.
Or off a spoon. I regret nothing.
You are so pleased with yourself for whipping up this brilliant concotion (you can totally take credit in front of your guests) that you buy yourself the greatest pair of shoes ever because dang it you’re worth it.
Oh these shoes. Reebok Skyscape how I love you so. Even seeing the pictures makes my heart flutter a bit. #styleneverstops
Before this, I’ll admit to having a strong disdain for sneakers. I did not like them. I did not wear them. I am a thoroughly devoted boot girl, and the one time I’ve deviated is in buying an old pair of sneakers off ebay for ten bucks and wearing them a grand total of twice.
I’m a tough convert. But the Skyscapes have done the impossible.
These. These are different. The lovely hue adds a healthy dose of color to any outfit (pink for me-yay cancer awareness!), and they are so inexpicably comfortable. Even more so than *gasp* my combat boots. (And that’s saying something. I was about to propose to those things.)
As for my attempted stylings, behold lazy day chic.
Photo credits to my divinely patient mother. (Bet you never knew you’d be a fashion photographer, hey Mom?)
So if you feel like treating yourself, and quite frankly I think you should, these shoes are incredible. I wouldn’t say so if they weren’t. I’ve been wearing them so much from workouts to yoga to walking around to lounging around and it’s so bad that it’s good.
