{5 instagram things}

1. The annual Conyers’ family photo. The day was beautiful and the weather was perfect.
2. Green Smoothies and my (unplanned) 30 day experiment. For almost 3 weeks I’ve made a batch of 3 green smoothies every morning (1-2 for me and 1 for my husband). I started this as part of my healthy happy holidays plan and it has worked out brilliantly. The benefits have rocked my world! I’m continuing 1-2 green smoothies daily for what will be 30 days to see if the benefits continue.
3. The tea bag tag made me smile.
4. Excited to be selected as a Nuunbassador 2015!
5. With drinking smoothies daily it was wasteful using plastic straws so I bought a set of reusable stainless steel straws. Less waste and they look kinda cool.

1. 30 Days of Yoga – One of my goals this year is to deepen my practice of yoga. I’m considering joining a yoga studio to help me accomplish this goal. Still not sure on that so, in the meantime, I’m starting the new year with 30 Days of Yoga at Yoga with Adrienne.
2. Speaking of yoga, I found an awesome website, Do You Yoga.
3. There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner. – Dean Karnazes

3. I made Spinach and Mushroom Quinoa for Christmas dinner. It was my favorite dish on the table. So good.
