Summer = Salad Season!
F is for … Fresh & flavorful: Romaine lettuce topped with crumbled feta cheese {Trader Joe’s} & drizzled with Italian dressing {Olive Garden}
I may indulge in comfort foods during colder weather when I prefer to stay cozy and warm, but now that the ☼heat☼ is on ~ not to mention, the pressure, since I’ve stepped up my A-game on my dissertation ~ I’m saving time and energy from cooking much to go raw!
A is for … Apple! Added crunch from fruit & nuts (in this case, walnut ½s & pieces) suppresses appetite & burns calories!
Gotta ♥love♥ my greens!
P is for … Pineapple & pecan chips for sweet flavor & savory crunch!
Speaking of freshness, I had a little more time this morning to whip this up for breakfast!

♪♫More Than a Woman♪♫
In spirit of my favorite 1990s-early 2000s R&B artist, Aaliyah, who was finally portrayed in a film that debuted on air this past weekend (no comment on my thoughts of the biopic), let’s pay tribute to the best abs in the industry!
This street but sweet superstar had fab, flat abs ~ so how did she rock them out in her midriffs?
As an Aaliyah ab-mirer and also an ab-rocker, here’s what worked for her and me …
* Dance it off ~ All those twists and turns work that core + other cardio to melt off fat and flab!
* Planks {especially rotating on alternate sides to engage the obliques} stabilize for balance!
Sideswept bangs and shades also were Aaliyah’s trademark that inspired me!

Happy Hump Day the Healthy Pretty Fit Way!
Today, I’ll feature food, as a perk to my freelance writing.
When I visited AM Donuts, I was pleased to photograph around the storefront and bakery, as well as to try the main menu items that I intended:
AM Donuts‘ Bubble Tea & Maple Bacon Bar
The added bonus was that the owner packed his personal favorites for me to take home!
AM Donuts & Croissants Care Package, including *exclusive* Cherry Chocolate Fritter & Red Velvet Cake Donut
Then, when I covered the Claudie C. Royals Banquet on Claudie C. Royals Day, I chowed down even more!
Claudie C. Royals Banquet Desserts: Special Strawberry Shortcake Banana Nut Pudding, Lemon & Chocolate Nut Cupcakes, Chocolate Sugar-Dusted Brownies
Today, I wrote about how I ate healthy a week ago then rewarded myself the next day in What I Ate Wednesday and Thursday.
Moral of this story:
A good day can lead into another one!
And because I love y’all so much, here’s how I packed my sweets for the sweet from the sweet on VDay ♥
Now that I’ve gone bananas with good grub and am armed with study food, I’ll get back to working on my dissertation…
3:33 ~ make a wish!!!
