AMPLIFY PT. 2

Hi friends,

For the second day of our Amplify OC Retreat, we made the yummiest protein bars! It’s literally by far one of my faves as it’s so easy to make (especially if you cannot cook like me) Here is the recipe below. Thanks to Jazzy and Kroger for sponsoring our breakfast!

Recipe:

Flour Base – oat flour protein powder

Nut Butter or Seed Butter (you need just enough to bind it together)

Need consistency to form into a ball

Add sweetener – honey

Mix it together.

Add almond milk – we need it to get the thicker consistency (slowly) really mix it.

If it’s dry – add any liquid.

Add inclusions like:

pecans, nuts, granola, dried strawberries, chocolate, cereal

I had so much fun making this and it was actually really good. I made mine into a cereal, but normally, you can make it into a ball or rectangles and put it in the fridge.

For lunch, we had one of the best veggie burgers ever! If you know me, you already know what I’m not a huge fan of veggies – but this is by far one of the yummiest veggie burgers I’ve ever had!

After lunch, we made our DIY “live your dream” bracelets under the olive trees!

And to close the retreat, we finished things drinking our tea on a hot day. Thanks to Snapple!

We also wrote a word that represents how we feel about the whole retreat at the very end and I chose the word: encouraging. Often times, I feel like we are so busy, living our day to day lives, we forget to breathe a little and we are so hard on ourselves. This retreat showed me many ways and encouraged me that things get better if we don’t give up. Last but not the least, we wrote a letter to ourselves and Jazzy promised to mail it back to us in the future when we least expect it!

Hopefully, this post reminds you as well to take it easy on yourself and how sometimes it’s important take some time to take care of yourself and well being.

P.S. I made this top and my mermaid skirt is from Secretly A Mermaid

XOXO,

Joy

Amplify Pt. 1

Hi Friends,

This weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Amplify OC hosted by Jazzy, sponsored by Kroger. In here I met amazing, beautiful women influencers coming from different backgrounds where we had to chance to connect, grow, devour healthy and simple meals and create together.

On Friday morning, we ate some delicious protein pancakes.

Then proceeded to our first goal setting activity where we got to think about what our “perfect day” consist of and share it with everyone. This exercise made me think about how I can handle my time so much better and how it is possible if I just push myself enough. It also taught me that I need to include self care in my day, as I’m always running around, I seem to always forget to take care of myself and well being.

For lunch, we had  Triscuit with fruits, cheese and salad. I was so happy when I found out that Triscuit is one of our sponsors as it’s actually one of my favorite personal snacks! I love that it’s light and crispy and healthy. My favorite is the fire roasted tomato & olive.

After lunch, we made vision boards underneath the olive trees. For my vision board, I included a of lot tropical islands as I dream to travel and go to as many adventures around the world and also visit each Disneyland in every country. The phrases “Transform your world” “Never the same thrill twice” and “Go your own way” are in there to remind me that it’s okay to be different and live my dream and manifest it even though it seems impossible right now. We also had our refreshing afternoon tea, thanks to Tazo!

For dinner, we had one of Jazzy’s “Your Dinner is Planned” Baja California Dinner, this is the very first time I had a vegetarian stuffed peppers and it was actually delicious. If you’re like me and doesn’t really like veggies- let me tell you that this one actually tastes like magic!

That was our day one last Friday and I hope that this blog post inspires you to eat healthy and take care of yourself. Stay tuned for my next post regarding Amplify Pt. 2! 😉

Oh and of course, I actually made this two piece outfit for this event! What do you think about it? When I did my research that we are going to be in The Nursery By Southwinds and saw how beautiful it is, I knew i had to make a floral outfit.

XOXO,

Joy

The pier house

For the past seven months, I have been one of those people who take the pandemic very seriously and have tried my best not to go out or dine outside due to safety precautions. However, when I was invited by The Pier House to dine in their patio right in front of Venice Beach, I… Continue reading →
