Today's Quest for Perfection and Youth

I have been working with the blog designer extraordinaire this morning. She had my first draft blog design completed. Of course I'm too difficult and couldn't just say "Love It" though I did really like it, so we have been tweaking it. I can't wait until the big reveal!

In other news, Lola is really feeling so much better. I feel like such a bad mom that I didn't realize she was sick for so long. I thought she had just progressed past the puppy stage, I mean she did just turn 4 after all. This morning first thing she was hot on the trail of a squirrel which led to a super muddy dog that had to be put in the bath. Then while I was showering, I could see (at least see her as well as I can without my contacts in) darting in and out of the bathroom. She would dash in and raid the trash can for kleenex and then run into my bedroom and shred them. This was repeated over and over until I was done showering. It is kind of annoying to have to pick up the mess, but it is great to see her feeling so spunky!

I have purchased a device this morning called a Clarisonic. I have become obsessed with my skin recently and have heard/read many good things about this little device. It is made by the people who came up with sonicare toothbrushes. It is the same idea, but for your face. It is suppose to really cleanse deeply and also help with skin conditions like acne, rosacea, fine lines, etc. I decided to bite the bullet and try it. I had a 20% off coupon at Ulta that I could use for it and then I have 60 days to use it and if I don't like it, I can return it for my money back. It isn't cheap, but then I figured neither is restalyn or other treatments to get rid of wrinkles, so why not try to prevent them!

Nothing else really exciting today... I have a meeting with a super annoying man at 3:30 and then am giving a test tonight in my class. Suz and I have our big spa day tomorrow at Hotel Zaza. I'm soooooo ready for that Muscle Meltdown Massage that I'm scheduled for!

By the way, I was just telling Lisa that I needed her to sign up as a "friend" for my blog. I told her that it doesn't look like I have any friends. She said, "Oh you have lots of friends, they are all just too technically inept to know how to comment or sign up as a friend!". Maybe so, but if you know how, add yourself to my friends list. Once my new blog is up and running, you're totally going to want to be a friend!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
