Graze: February

I decided to pause my Graze subscription over winter break since I was going to be at home, so this is the first one I have received since November!  If you all remember, I originally purchased a discounted subscription of six months for around $20 or something like that from Groupon, so I only have one more month left after this!  I have loved this box, so that is kind of sad!

The box this month was adorable, it was very bright and Spring-y.  I love that they are changing up their boxes for the seasons now!

So I’m pretty sure I chose that I loved these Thai Sweet Chili Dippers before I ever received them just because I love the dippers and wanted to give it a try.  They were a little spicier than I expected, but they were still really good!  I would like to find the crackers just in a box, I could eat those all day!

I have tried a few of their other flapjacks now, which is their version of granola bars, and they have all been really good!  They are also usually higher in protein, but they don’t have that gritty protein bar texture, which I appreciate.  I have high hopes for this Original Fruity Flapjack!

This is the Peaches and Cream snack with white chocolate, peach drops, coconut, and vanilla cookies...  Aside from the coconut shavings which are just yucky, I am so excited about everything in this!  It sounds so good!  Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like one of the most unhealthy snacks they've sent though? Not complaining!

I’m realizing that I may have majorly manipulated this box… I selected “love” on a lot of these things so I could get them, and apparently that tactic works!  

Barbecue in one of my favorite foods…  Good barbecue that is, so this Sweet Memphis Barbecue snack pack better fall into that category!  In it there are barbecue peas, salsa peanuts, and wild rice sticks.  I wasn’t a fan of the sriracha peas, so I am reeeeeally hoping these will be better.

I love apple pie, so I have very high expectations for this Deconstructed Cinnamon Apple Pie.  It contains cinnamon dusted apple pieces, yogurt covers raisins, and almonds.  Now I’m not a huge fan of almonds, but we will give it a shot!


Though I am not disappointed in this snack, it seems like a bit of a copout… There isn’t much of a difference between apple pie and Elanor’s Apple Crumble except these rasins are yogurt covered and the almonds are cinnamon honey flavored.  Almonds go way up in my book when they actually have a flavor, so I’m not complaining, these two snacks just feel very similar.

I loved my last granola topper, so I have high hopes for this Honeycomb Almond one as well.  In it there is granola, almonds, chocolate covered honeycomb and protein crispies.  I’m not entirely sure what “protein crispies” are, but I like them!  Just a heads up, this is usually enough granola for two standard cups of yogurt in my opinion, just saying.  

This is the New York Everything Bagel with cheese cashews, poppies onion sesame sticks, and roasted pumpkin seeds.  I love everything bagels and everything in this really reminded me of them!  It was really good!

This month the bottom inside of the box also came with a chia fruit drink recipe!  So cute!  Overall, I think this box really hit the nail on the head.  There isn't one thing I'm nor really excited about or have already really enjoyed!

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...

2014-2015 Plum Paper Planner!

This is my new  Plum Paper Planner , and is most definitely one of my favorite possessions right now!  It came packaged like this...  I got  this  design, and added on an extra six months, making it an 18 month planner.  That was the really cool thing about this company, everything is customizable.  You can get your name and monogram on certain planner designs for free, you can add extra months like I did, add extra notes pages, budget pages, and more!  The standard planner with an extra six months was $48.75, which was pretty expensive... but it was a Christmas present, and will last me through the first year of college, so I could justify it! It has tabs on the side, which are laminated and reinforced  One of the first pages in the planner is a full 2015 planner, and on the next pages a 2016 calendar.  Each month begins with two note pages, which...
