Guilty Pleasures - #GuiltyTotalSocial

Oh guilty pleasures… As I am spending 2014 revamping my life and making healthy decisions {eating, exercising, and well, just trying to let those creative juices flow!} I still find myself sneaking in a couple guilty pleasures when I have a moment to breathe. It’s extremely refreshing to know I’m not alone too! I’m linking up with Helene and Sarah for the #TotalSocial Linkup! This month’s theme is Guilty Pleasures!

1 // Coastal & Home Magazines and Pinterest Boards. Have I told you that we are building a house next year? Yeah, it’s big news that I have yet to share with many people. But maybe you could tell based on my currently overused pinterest board. In between drooling over and tweaking my new custom house plans - I just can’t seem to get enough of these home design and decor magazines! Magazines that I used to think only old people, like my mom, were supposed to read. #imgettingold 2 // Teen Mom 2. Yeah… apparently I simply like watching train wrecks. Train wrecks that make me realize how good of a mom I will be… one day. 3 // All other forms of trash television, which is basically Bravo TV: Below Deck, Ladies of London, Million Dollar Listing, Real Housewives of any city… I’ve never actually seen an entire season of anything. It’s amazing how 15 minutes of other peoples’ problems just make me grin.

4 // Almond Butter with Raisins. I would be losing a heck of a lot more weight, so much easier, if I could just give up my almond butter. I don’t crave chocolate, reeces, wine or anything anymore… as long as I can have a couple spoonfuls of almond butter and a handful of raisins {almost daily?! eek!} I’m good to go! 5 // Purses. I have done a really good job at cutting back and giving away the ones I don’t carry. Only to pine over a few other bags I’d love to own. Like this one, this one or ooooo especially this one.

6 // Obsessively hopping from one hashtag to the next, killing time on Instagram. Due to life choices, I’m currently hooked on any hashtag related to the whole30, paleo, kittens or goats. Speaking of goats… 7 // Not exercising. I’ve said it once, and I will say it a million times: I hate exercising. I will easily give up all sweets, popcorn, wine, chocolate, bread, pasta, pancakes and cuppies… if I’d never have to exercise again. ARG! Why do I hate it so much? Luckily, I have a hilarious 70 year old trainer who is okay with my sarcasm and banter. {Yup, he’s 70. But you’d never, ever guess it. #YouAreWhatYouEat!} But sitting, and partaking in numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 lead to guilty pleasure number 7. I’ve decided I need to try to kick this guilty pleasure /slash/ bad habit in the butt! I’ve signed up for a 30 day PiYo challenge. #SugaryJoyPiYo. I’m on day 2. Y’all will be reminding me next week why I want to get healthy… 8 // Taking too many pictures of my dog. Taking too many pictures of my food. 9 // This picture of my mom. {Just incase The Big Bang Theory is looking for Howard’s Mom…}

10 // Girl Meets World. Is it possible that I am the only 30-something who is beyond pumped to have Cory and Topanga back on television? I will confess… I am DVR-ing it every single friday night. I feel so much better getting these guilty pleasures off my chest! Woo! What are some of your guilty pleasures? Can you relate to any of mine above? Does your mom look like a tv celebrity? Are you secretly spending quality time with Cory and Topanga? Thanks for hosting this great linkup gals! #GuiltyTotalSocial

  OMG Helene! It’s SO GOOD. And it’s all natural too! Also, thanks so much for hosting this fun linkup! You rock! I think I am going to book your hour consult this week - but I’m rebranding in the next week-ish… can we plan to use it after the rebrand is set to go?

Ahhhh I’ve been so wanting to watch Girl Meets World! I love this linkup, this is awesome. Let’s be real - everyone has guilty pleasures!

  Oh so true. And YES! I am really liking Girl Meets World. It’s cheesy and definitely for people younger than me… but it’s like a new age Boy Meets World. I like it. I’m hooked. And I”m happy they renewed for season 2!

UMMMMM….Ladies of London, Real Housewives of everything (can’t wait for the Melbourne season!), Bachelor in Paradise, Shark Week, Drunk History, Orange Is The New Black, ……. phew! It’s tiring! 😉 Is Girl Meets World on yet?

  OMG! I saw the preview for Melbourne today! It looks like it airs on Sundays… we should plan a wine and “Ladies of Melbourne” viewing… we can be on the phone or skype thru the show!! Also yes, Girl Meets World is out! It’s on Disney. It’s super cute and cheesy, and definitely meant for kids - but I really like it. It’s good and clean with the style of Boy Meets World. It’s also fun to see what our childhood “friends” {cory and topanga} are doing now. Also- y’all told me about Drunk History… I still haven’t watch it! I need to!!

I love almond butter, but have never tried it with raisins. That sounds yummy.

And also, that’s your mom? She totally looks like Howard!

  Oh my gosh - it is by far the best sweet treat ever Karen! You must try it! It’s like Ants on a Log, without the log! And yes, my mom is in the pic on the right! Funny right?

  Oh that goat! SO FUNNY. So is your howard pic. People love it. It brings joy to them, just like the goat brings to you.
