10 Green Smoothies to Start Your Week
Green smoothies are the best way to start the week of right. A healthy breakfast at the beginning of the day just makes Mondays a little bit better. All you need is a trip to the grocery store and a blender. This is my go-to favorite green smoothie recipe, and it’s great for muscle recovery: Most Delicious Green Smoothie Recipe Ingredients: Banana, mango, pineapple, spinach, chard, kale, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chia seeds (optional). Instructions: Fill the blender (I use a Nutri-Bullet) with equal parts of the fruits and veggies. Add almond milk up to the baseline of the ingredients, and a tablespoon or two of chia seeds on top. Blend…

Small Wave Date
The waves were small today, but the weather made up for it. Lots of longboarders came out, but there wasn’t much more than shorebreak. Early on and mid day Chris and I paddled out and caught some really fun waves together. Same wave <3. Such Party. Chris was walking all over his board, which I love because he puts his hands up like a bird. He also spent some time on the shorebreak, and I got a little closer while I could to fill the camera frame. The shorebreak trick of the day that everyone was doing was to walk to the end of the board to get it to…

Nail Stamping How To
My latest obsession is nail stamping. It’s not a big surprise, since in a sense nail stamping is a form of printmaking. There is an etched metal plate that you apply ink polish to, and transfer the print on to your nails. Here are all of the materials you will need in advance: a nail stamper, a card, an emery board, nail stamping plates, nail polish, cotton swabs, q-tips and nail polish remover. The Stamper To get started I bought a nail stamper from Konad. The one I like has two sides – one is smaller and the other is a little bigger. Prior to buying this I did research…

Shore Break Saturday
Here’s what International Surfing Day looked like. The waves were pretty small! I paddled out for a little bit, but it was more floating than catching the waves. Chris surfed the shore break for a while. I caught a few there. The waves break really fast, but if you stay on the back of the board it helps keep the nose from going under when the wave breaks. Chris made this awesome GoPro video of Surfside with his new grill cam mount. The grill cam is a little more efficient to manage time with an oncoming wave than the GoPro surf mount, and it floats! That’s one of the latest Julep…

International Surfing Day
Happy International Surfing Day! We are going to the beach, of course. I’ll take pictures. Here’s a pic Chris took of me in Surfside, and one I took of him in South Padre. I like this one because I look so determined. I hadn’t been surfing much when he took this picture. Every day is a different challenge. But I’m excited to finally be out there on a board. The swimsuit is one of my favorites. It’s a reversible Volcom suit that makes me feel like a ladybug. There are racer stripes on the other side. Even though it’s a triangle sliding string, I’ve never had trouble with it staying…
