I posted this on my FB page yesterday cause I loved it!!!! We all need to feel that way when we look in the mirror. I struggle but try!
I just had to share & that is that! Lori, does Pixie feel this way??
Also, reminding you of my Wednesday & Thursday posts that outlined products I have reviewed on my blog & am still loving & using them! Great gift ideas for friends, family OR YOU!
OK, one more thing, I saw this take on 10-minute Peanut bars at World's Healthiest Foods. Interesting, EASY to make & you can change it up to suit your taste buds. Me, not a sesame fan so I would change that!

Carla - I don't think it would matter OR you could put your own spice in there!

Oh, Jody, these sound too sinful. So glad I don't have the ingredients at home. These would be just the types of things I would be stashing at work.

One of my faves, and I don't do it that often, is to fill a brownie pan with peanut butter, cover it with a thin layer of brown sugar and put it in the freezer. 24 hours later, you can cut it into frozen squares and there you have it -- a qucik, sweet, (almost fairly healthy) snack. Have a good day Jody!

I love a healthy, super filling snack that I can do in a few minutes. This is a great thing to do with my new garage-sale food processor I found!!

Jody, I have a friend who always saw something beautiful in everyone! I think that seeing some specific thing that is beautiful about ourselves is a more realistic and achievable goal than "I am beautiful," which I think too often sets us up for failure.

Dr. J, I agree with you - that is a great strategy!

LOL - Pixie has no concept at all of the mirror. We actually call her Hedonism Cat because she relishes the stretch and lolling about.
I bet you could use almond flour instead of the peanuts. Then you wouldn't have to grind. Must try!

Lori, such a good idea! I don't have a food processor so this is perfect!

Those peanut bars sound wonderful! Yet I sense with those ingredients I'd have portion control issues. I could see scarfing a whole day's worth of calories before breakfast if I got too near a batch of 'em. Love sweet peanutty things too much!

I hear you Crabby - a definite portion control!

Not a fan of the ginger or the sesame. But I'm all over the peanuts and honey!
